SAW s,AR N TREEToPs.
Did Circus Act, According 10 Farmer
Noted for veraclty.

Boston. n.-Aicibiades Brown, truthful
Burlington Cvtl farmer, almost got
Into fight with his wife when he as
serted that he had seen the bar
that has been waltzing in the North
Woburn thickets during the past few
days.
Alclblades, crestfallen. hurried away
to the center to tell the folks at the
store what he saw In the woods
earlier in the day.
Brown, according to the story, was
taking COW to the pasture just after
aunup. when loud "Gr-r-r-r-rr" from
the top Of high pine tree MAIDS him
look up It was the bar he had heard
50 much about.
With an angry toss Of the head the
animal bit on few branches, turned
three complete ''feetsprings" and land
ed safely in another tree. where It
snarled and grinned in turn. Then the
bar stood on its nose and wiggled its
feet ia the air with glee.
II is the belief Of Burlington resi-

scription OF the animals mirth, that
the bear is glad to have reached the
town and is preparing to take up win

men, who are making feature of
Idaho apples, is here for the purpose
of looking over the field. 1t was he
who made the Hood River apples fam
Gus in the New York market, and he
is doing the same thing for the Idaho
apples. Mr.. Rae states that in this
valley. our apples are the finest of
their kind, says the Statesman. The
varieties we produce are better than
those of the same varieties grown
elsewhere. He thinks other varieties
can be grown here with equally SUI
perior results.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Rae that
growers will secure good prices this
year, as the crop will be short at some
other points. At some Colorado points
the crop was destroyed, and at many
others the yield will not exceed so
per cent of the normal crop.

ADVENTURES OF
BRAVE WOMAN
Dares Death Touring Lab
radOr to Find Remains
of Husband

LONDON, June 24.-Mrs. Leonidas
Hubbard of New York is the sensation
in London just now. She is telling Of
her trip into the wilds of Labrador,
where she penetrated farther than any
man has been able to do, and brought
back such fund of new facts that she
has been invited to lecture on her ex-
society and other learned English
bodies before she returns to America.
Mrs. Hubbards mission into the Ice
bound regions OF Labrador was one of
love. In 1908 her husband, Leonidas
Hubbard, editor of the Outing Maya
zine and author of "The Lure of Lab
smador," with two companions, set ont
to trace the course of the Nescaupee
river in the Labrador peninsula. He
starved to death in the frozen region.
His wife. delicate slip of woman,
determined to preserve the fame of her
husband, and to add if possible to the
knowledge of his discoveries, set out
two years ago with the Indian guide
that had accompanied her husband, to
find his body and give 1t Christian
burial.
Then she proclaimed her intention
of continuing the explorations of her
brave husband. She found the body
of her husband, wrapped in his coat
of skins, lying where he had fallen
asleep, with the final memorandum on
the tab by his side:
Il think death from starvation is not
so bad. am prepared"
Then she braved the same fate and
penetrated through snow and ice into
the land where no man, not even an
indian, had dared to go. And she lived
to return with knowledge which has
greatly enriched the world concerning
the interior of Labrador Her task
was ambitious beyond that ever con-
sceived by a woman. She had good
red blood corpuscles in those delicate
veins, and the love in her heart for her
dead husband kept alive a fire that
=sl1amed the fiercest weather.
She is now the most honored stran-
ger in London. Scientists hasten to dc
her homage. She is reaping the reward
of her zeal In the cause of human
knowledge and the remembrance Of
her gifted husband.
After she has finished her lectures in
London, Mrs. Hubbard will return to
America.
