HANDED BABY
TO A BEAR.
Mother Thought She was
Handing the Infant to
Its Father.

Alton, Va, Feb. 13-James
Ingram, a young farmer of Nell
son county. had occasion to go to
a neighboring plantation on bus
mess. Knowing that he would
not be able to return until late,
and that his wife desired him to
accompany her to the home of a
ueighbor, it was agreed that the
woman should start alone, taking
their child with her, meet him at
a fence near a small body of
woods, where he would relieve
her of the infant and accompany
her the rest of the way.
The young woman started from
her home later than she intended.
1t was dark and cold when she
reached the fence where her hus-
band was to have met her. She
saw dimly a figure lowering in
the dusk on the other side of the
fence. She took the object to be
her husband and calling him by
name she handed the child over
without hesitation, SO that there
would be no impeachment to her
own efforts to climb the fence.
When she reached the second
panel and locked mp she was
astonished To ,ee the figure dis
appearing without q word and
taking the baby with it. She
then noted that the figure Travelled
low on the ground and not up
right like a man.
Frantic from fear she jumped
to the ground and ran screaming
and calling to her husband, whom
she met coming toward her along
the road. He also had been de-
layed longer than he had inten'
ded. Lights were Immediately
procured, the alarm given and q
thorough search made, and
tracks of an immense bear were
found leading from the point al
the fence where the child dlsap
peared upward through the
woods toward the mountain. Nc
trace has yet been found of tn,
missing infant.
There is scarcely any doubt
that the infant was devoured BY
the hungry bear to whom the
delicate morsel was handed In th'
dark by the mother.

the Farmers Union here July 4.
1905, but this was Mr.. Barrett's

heard that we have some Farmers
Union people in this section and
said that the large State Central
Warehouse at this place confirmed
the report.
The distinguished visitors
spent the greater part of the
time they were here at the Office
of j. w. Boyett, Jr., State Sec
rotary of the Farmers Union,

IS NOTICED
The New Orleans Picayune
Classes It With Progressive
Parishes

Under the heading: "WInn
Joins the Progressive Parishes
of the State" the New Orleans
Picayune of last Sunday says:
The accompanying illustrations
shows the Police Jury of Winn
Parish inspecting the second new
bridge which they have recently
built from chill to hill" across
the Dugdemonia Bayou, which
runs almost centrally through
the parish from north to south.
The bridge shown in the illustra-
ton was built at a cost of 1000.
It is above the high water mark,
as is shown in the picture. the
water being half mile wide at
the time the picture was made.
The finest bridge work un'ler
taken by the Police Jury was a
combination steel and dyke struc-
ture across the Dugdemonia at
Winfield. The structure cost
$40. 500, and is a little more than
q mile in length.
Not only has the Police Jury
rebuilt and repaired the bridges
Throughout the parish. but con-
siderable improvements have
been added to other public prop
erty during the past year. 1t is
now proposed to undertake the
improvement of the public roads.
An election has been ordered to
take place March ) to vote a tax
for road improvement. If the
tax is voted it will be supple
mented BY per capita and We

lremodeled and graded up. under
the supervision of an experienced
road builder. There is little
doubt that the tax will be voted.

WOMEN LoATH TO DlslNHEeIT
Few Mothers Leave Hayward Chill

"One feature OF women's Wills is
the infrequency with which they dis.

mother TO cut of a child. Fathers
frequently exhibit such spurts of
temper. A son or a daughter may do
something that displeases him, and to

SWANS GUARDED THE BODY.
Birds Seemed to Be Guided by Sons
Strange Instinct.

Two stately swans and half dozen
brilliant-plumaged ducks circled and
circled about wooden box that float
ed on the lake in Central park the
other afternoon, says the New York
World. Believing some kindly person
had put food in the box for the birds,
the crowds that were out in rowboats
did not disturb the graceful water
fowl For hours the box drifted about
with the currents of the lake. always
accompanied by its escort OF birds.
Then Thomas Donahue, who has
charge of the park water fowl, OBJ
served the strange actions OF his pets,
and got rowboat Donahue over,
took the box 20 feet from shore on
that part OF the lake opposite West
, Seventy-seventh street. He was hor.
, rified to find in 1t the body of baby
/ about one week old. The body was
taken TO the Arsenal Police station In
the park, where Lieut.. McGirr said he
believed the child had been dead two
days. 1t is mystery to the police
how the box fioated on the lake two
days without any one discovering its
contents. Donahue says he had
missed several OF his swans and ducks
during that period, and he believes
the birds remained with the box.

Snllinu.

A smile ~ not contortion. This
statement would seem scarcely neces-
sary were 1t not for the fact that one
so constantly sees men and women
dIstorting their faces in a spasmodlc
effort TO seem friendly or witty. Ri.
diculous as It sounds, there Is a proper
way even to smile. First OF all, do not
smile at all unless there is real occa-
sion for 1t. Next, smile slowly Next,
do not grin. And last. do not simper.
Abolish the sarcastic smile Of con.
tempt or patronage, the smile of sy-
cophancy. That is to say, realize that
a sweet, amiable smile can come only
from a sweet, apiable personality
