them. He had emptied his rife when
the enraged mother appeared. He man.

him, but the bullet, although it had gone
through her body, apparently had no eff

miller through his left arm and clawed
his body, but before the beast could clasp
him in a fatal, crushing hug he managed
to discharge his rife with his right arm.
The bullet reached the bears heart and

Appleton Man Accompanies DecaDt-
tatiOn in Strange Way.
Weary of a life that promised as little
in the future as in the past, Joseph Meis-
lein, proprietor of the Man;towoc House,
in Appleton, blew off his head. Both bar
rels of the gun were discharged at the
same time and the walls of the rooms
where the deed was committed were
splashed with his blood. On a dresser
near by was found the following note
which Me.slein had evidently written just
before he took his life :" have lived thir-
ty-six Thanksgivings and have never had
anything to be thankful for, so here goes"
The hotel was without its usual quota of
guests and roomers when parties hearing
the report of the gun entered the hos
telry.

WAR ON COAL PRICES.

Dealer Forces Price Down.
A coal war is on in Appleton and as
a result the bottom has dropped out of
the price of fuel The price has gone
from $3.50 to $3.50 ton on hard coal.
The trouble started when the Ideal Lum-
Der and Fuel Company, an Independent
concern, cut prices 90 cents. The trust
companies followed by a 81 drop. Then
it kept going until the trust advertised
hard coal at $3.50 and wood split free
of cost. The independent company went
to $500 delivered. Other cuts are ex-
pected.

AT THE SET OF THE sun

at the set of the sun,
When our work is done,
With all its tangled web.
When the clouds drift ,ow.
And the stream runs slow,
And life is at its ebl,.
AS we near the goal,
When the golden bowl
Shall be broken at it's fount:
With what sweetest thought
Shall the hour be fraught,
What precious most shall we count?
Not the flame of the sword.
Nor the wealth we have stored
In perishable things of earth
Not the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
Though that were of precious worth.
Nor the gain we achieved
Through the hearts we have grieved,
And left unhelped by the way,
Nor the laurel of fame,
When, for worldly acclaim,
We toiled in the heat and the fray.
All, no! It's not these
Will give our hearts ease,
When life sinks low in the west;
But the passing sweet thought
Of the good we have wrought,
The saddened lives we have blest.
and the love we have won,
And the love reckoning on
From His islands far and dim;
Love out of the light,
Shining into the night,
The night which leadeth to Him.
From Boston Transcript.
