Bruin is on the Increase.

In the Williams River country
of West Virginia the bears are
greatly on the increase, according
to Recreation, and there is blue
grass settlement about the extreme
head of the river called Beaver
Dam which has all but been driv-
en- out of the sheep business by
bears. This is hardship to small
land owners whose farms lie at too
great an elevation to raise grain.
On the Black Mountain run one
man claimed to have identified the

that | cannot consistently deny

now and then a hunter runs on to
bear and kills it. Premeditated

as the Wisest of the forest animals

lbbit is courageous to a black
bear. This shows the superior
intelligence of bruin.
About twenty years ago an I'M
armed fisherman killed a bear
with large stone at the Red
Hole. He was resting at the top
of precipitous bank of Mauch
Chunk shale when a bear, chased
by dogs, came into the river and
passed at the foot of the bank. The
man cast large stone down upon
it and stunned it so that he was
able to kill it. 1t was a two-year-
old. The occurrence is well au-
thenticated.
The sheepkillers are generally
the biggest bears of them all, and
are very wise. They never enter
a field with out making complete
circuit to see if man has crossed
the fence. If he has, they with

implication to my mind was that Celia
had chosen the gown most suitable for
a journey. I resolved that she should
not get out of my sight during the
evening, but while We were sitting
with all Bentonville for company, upon
the bank of the fort Celia suddenly
disappeared.
With great caution l myself slipped
away While 4 particularly vivid bomb
was attracting the attention of my rel
atives and friends. 1 made the circuit
Of the great old earthwork, hoping to
find Seabury lurking in some corner Of
the dry moat, but he was not there. l
then increased the radius of my search
and was rewarded by the discovery of Z
a black horse and a light wagon in q
little used road which runs back of the
hill and joins the main highway lead
ing out of town to the northward. So
there was an elOpement hidden in this
mystery.
The horse was hitched to the fence
by one of the reins. l tied him by the
checkrein and removed the others alto
gether, unbuckling them from the bit.
1t was my intention to hide them under
the seat, and my head was in the wag-
on when l became aware that some
one was approaching.
My position was extremely favorable
for concealment, and l waited. 1t was
Celia alone who was coming She was
within five steps of the wagon before
she perceived me; then by the light Of
one of the bombs, exploding high in air,
We saw each others face.
Well, there was a very strenuous
scene, and Celia defended herself by
ali the arguments that romantic fic-
ton supplies. This was the love of her
life cat seventeen. Her career was
before her and only stagnation and
failure here. Should she bury her one

This seemed not altogether unreason-
able, though l would have preferred to
talk with Seabury alone. I helped
Celia into the wagon. while debating
whether I should drive to the corner
or across lots to the road at another
| spot.

An Aged Citizen Passes From Life
Unto Death.

Or last Saturday morning, Just
at the break of day, John Murphy
passed quietly away out of this
life into that great beyond. Mr..
Murphy has been failing for some
time and his death was not unex-
pected, yet it is a forcible remind
er of the uncertainty of our earthly
pilgrimage and tits warning that
we shall not fail to give heed to
the spiritual injunction, "Be ye
therefore ready also" Mr.. Muir
ply was kind father and a good
neighbor and ready to sympathize
with others in time Of sorrow and
distress and to offer assistance to
the needy. He was at the ripe
age of nearly 4 score years, 10
years, 9 months and II days. He
has toiled hard in this life and we
trust it is well with his soul; aud
to the bereaved we would say,
put your trust in God who doeth
all things we'll.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. J. B. Shoup, pastor of the
Lutheran church, who visited him
and prayed with him frequently
during his last illness.

The Peril of
Columbia
a Fourth of July Story
By EVERETT HOLBROOK
1905, by Frederick r. Toombs

"A q Y uncle, Stephen WestcOtt, is
I'VE a church member and a de-
4 vout man. Therefore | was
the more surprised to see the
figure of Satan seated at his gate as
approached the house. However. | was
partially prepared for this spectacle,
because l had encountered several 9th
er remarkable creatures on my way up
from the wharf, and, besides, l had
seen this same apparition twice before
in that town.
Three years ago Bentonville decided
to revive the old advertisement of An
tiques and Horribles' as Il part Of its
Fourth of July celebration, and a dra-
matte performance was held FOR the
purpose of raising a fund to buy cos
tunes. The proceeds, which were IN
eXpectedly large, were invested with
theatrical cOStumer in Boston, ana the
general opinion was that he gave good
value for the money. Among the gar
ments which he sent was a MephiStO-
phclian habit that had been designed
for some very tall and slender man. 1t
would not fit any of the Bentonville
maSqueraderS who might otherwise
have been willing to wear it and was
eventually bestowed upon half witted
youth named Asa Colby, who was SO
delighted that he wanted to wear it
all the time.
Hello, Asa" said l. What's the
matter? Sick"
He did not answer my question oral
ly, and | was not surprised, for Asa
was Il very exceptional fool, being Of
few words. Instead of speaking he
wagged his head in the way of mega
ton and then shook his left hand with
his right, which was his customary
sign of greeting.
My cousin Celia appeared in the door
way, clothed i'll the garb of Columbia,
and she looked very lovely. She was
own good, but the vanity of Il school
girl is not necessarily permanent
blemish upon her character.
MY cousin Richard!' she cried I'VE
had given you up. We were so disap-
pointed"'
She shook hands with me somewhat
hurriedly and listened with only half
an ear while l explained that my train
had been late; that l had missed the
little steamer across the bay and had
come over in a sailboat. l judged that
l had interrupted her upon the way to
some engagement connected with the
part in the days Obscrvances. but
moment later, looking through the sit
ting room window, l saw Columbia
leaning upon the gate idly conversing
with MephistO.
Good old Aunt Anne welcomed me
with that kindness which is so de
lightfully ont of keeping with the Sc.
verify Of her aspect, and then | went
to find Uncle Stephen, who was in the
back yard, shifting at the closed doors
Of a big barn long unused except as a
place Of storage for Old furniture and
queer odds and ends.
I'm sure | smell tobacco smoke"
said he after he had shaken hands
with me. DO you?"
Tobacco is his pet aversion. He can
smell it Il mile. l asked him how it
was possible that there should be TO-
bacco smoke in his barn. and he said
that he would be obliged if | would
60 and help him solve the mystery.
We went into the barn by way of the

responsible for this, because one of
the four virtues taught by Moham-
med is alms-giving. From the
market we were followed thru the
Arab section of the town by two
big boys who spoke a little Eng
lish. Il am poor. You are rich
man. Give me sixpence," was
their cry. When we ordered them
away and threatened to call the
police they became defiant and
threatened to take US to the police
station because we would give
them nothing.
But the incidents which will
make us remember Alden were the
quarrels we had with our carriage
driver and boatmen. We employed
a public carriage at the official rate
of sixpence per hour within the
city limits and twelve pence out
side. After driving less than
three hours we paid Our man two
shillings (48 cents and dismissed
him. This was more than we
owed, but he howled nightly and
demanded another shilling. He
followed us until we arrived at the
wharf where he complained to the
three Arab police on duty there;
they intimated that we had better
pay more, doubtless expecting to
get share of the o,erchange, but
we climbed into a row boat with
three Englishmen, one of whom
was also in trouble with his driv-
er. The policemen were of the
little dried-up variety, so they did
not try to forCibly detain us. We
pushed the boat from the wharf
but our boatmen refused to row us
to the ship unless we paid them in
advance; after one of the English
men, who had taken "a drop too
much" at the hotel bar, had al
most upset the boat in a vain at
tempt as he said ito drown all
the bloody niggers," we paid the
regulation fare. threepence each,
and were rowed to the gangway of
our ship.
Here Our troubles were renewed.
The crafty rascals allowed the
fighting Englishman to get aboard
the ship, then they showed off and
kept us out in the bay ten minutes
demanding more money; threats
and commands doing no good we
finally took the oars ourselves,
pitching one fellow who resisted
into the water, and rowed along
side the ship again, where we
safely boarded her and soon said
goodbye" to Alden.

to be drifting down from what had

up to this region, and l was about to
ascend when Il wooden shutter in the
rear of the barn was suddenly opened,
and broad shaft of light struck
through the gloom above me.

in time to see the face of man who
was dropping out of the window. 1t

He Found a Better Place

Mark Twain while at his summer
residence prepared one evening to take
a drive and, expecting to remain out
until late, told the stable boy that he
need not wait for him. He directed
the fellow, however, when he had fin
ished his work to lock the stable and
place the key under a stone, the loca-
ton of which Mr.. Clemens described
with much eXactness. When the hui
morist reached home after his drive
he was surprised to find that the key
was not in the place selected. When
his patience had been exhausted he
awoke the boy, who explained as he
started out to find the missing key:

to hide it."-Philadelphia Ledger.
