TEDDY BEARS HUNT TEDDY.
The Real Thing Prowls About PresI-
dents Summer Home.

Oyster Bay, N. Y-It was o'clock
in the morning and darkness envel-
oped the Presidents home on Saga
more Hill. Secret service sleuths, In
! their sleepelss vigils, patrolled the ap-
proaches to the abode OF the chief ex-
ecutive. The President peacefully
slumbered, without even nature fake
dream to disturb his repose.
Hist" said Secret Service Agent
Sauter, putting his hand to his ear
Sounds as II man Is on the roof
of the extension OF the Presidents
house, whispered Agent Richie,
crouching behind bush.
A scraping, grinding noise could
be heard, as though heavy body was
being drawn across the roof. The Sc
cret service men crept forward. The
noise awakened President Roosevelt
and members of his household.
AS the sleuths drew near they got
out their revolvers. Agent Sauter
climbed to the shoulders of his com
panion and peered over the edge of
the roof
Two tiny balls OF red fire gazed at
him through the darkness and he
white teeth. Next instant a furry
body darted across the roof and dis
appeared over the other side. Sauter
and Ritchie gave chase. but they could
pursue only to the edge Of the woods
The cracking OF twlgs could be heard
"It was a bear," calculated both
sleuths in astonishment.
| President Roosevelt came out to
see what had disturbed his rest. He
could hardly believe that bear had
visited him. The secret service men,
| not wishing to be stamped as nature
takers, carefully guarded the ground
where the bear jumped from the roof
until daylight. and sure enough, bear
tracks were found.
There are several pet bears near
| Oyster Bay, and 1t is believed one OF
them escaped and went to visit the
animals friend.

ing in Boston as a memorial of a quar-
ter of century of Christian Endeavor

Children Not Wild.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-The story sent out
some time ago to the effect that a
family of wild children had been found
IN the Powder river country by State
Humane Agent Cough, was wildly ex-
aggerated. The parents had failed to
provide the little ones with sufficient
clothing and food. 1t is charged, but
the children are not wild. and they can
talk the same as other children of their
age. The state authorities will care
for the little ones.

NO END TO
The STRIKE
TELEGRAPHERS HOLD OUT AND
BOTH SIDES CLAIM SIG
NAL VICTORY.
SERVICES NOT so GOOD
GoMPERs HOPES FOR "HoNoR-
ABLE ADJUSTMENT AT oP-
FORTUNE TIME"

Denver.-The usual number OF con-
hicting statements by telegraph and
strike officials appear, both sides
claiming victory.
More operators were at work in Chi
cago and New York Monday.
In Denver the service was not as
good as on Saturday and the men who
have been working long hours under
unfavorable conditions since the strike
began are showing exhaustion, but the
managers claim to be handling the
business promptly.
Chicago.-The developments in the
telegraphers strike comprise the
calling out of leased wire operators in
six brokerage houses and the issuing
of number of conflicting statements
regarding the progress of the strike by
the officials of the union and by those
of the telegraph companies.
Both sides claim to have the strike
won. The telegraph companies. how
ever, are daily increasing the number
of men at work, and both of them have
on the board of trade larger number
of operators than at any time since the
commencement of the strike.
Many of the messenger boys who
struck the day following the walkout OF
the operators returned to work.
All efforts by outside parties looking
toward adjustment of the trouble have
been abandoned and the contest to all
appearances has settled down to q
waiting game on both sides.
Washington.-Pres Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor re-
ported to the executive council of the
federation that he. John Mitchell of
Indianapolis and Daniel J. Keefe of
Detroit had been entrusted by united
labor with an attempt to bring about
IAN honorable adjustment of the te-
legraphers' strike at an opportune
time"
Mr. Gompers was asked when he
thought that the time would arrive
and replied that he could not say, but
that 1t might be "in an hour, in a
ALL"
Los bngeles.-The telegraph situa-
tion in southern California and south
western Mexico is without change.
The Western Union office here has now
forty-five operators on the day and
night forces, as against seventy at
the time of the strike. The only point
in the territory here that remains per-
manently tied up is Prescott, Arizona.
where destruction of the company's
property is threatened. No violence
has occurred there.
Interference with Western Union
wires is daily growing less, according
to company officials. Saturday an un-
known operator on the Denver & Rio
Grande road grounded six of the com
pany's most important wires.

The finance committee of the city
council held lengthy and busy reg
