Bear and Hog Fight Drawn Battle.

The bear crept up to the hog and seized 1t by the leg. The hog turned on the bear, and for half an hour there was a fierce battle. Both animals were gashed and gory when they fell from exhaustion. After brief rest the bear limped away to its den, the hog rising and watching It's departure.

Christmas is the great religious festl. val when tho kind heart finds many ways of minlsterlng to the Joy and pleasure of others. The good women of Boston who originated and sustain the Animal Rescue league. have hit up- ca the unique idea of Christmas tree for the cats that are waiting for homes at that institution. A bush is provided and trimmed with meat and other suit able eatubles for such animals, and just before they are turned into the room the members of the Kindness club are admitted to enjoy the antics of the cats.
 This club Is composed of boys whose ages range from eight to thirteen years and is the outcome of the leagues work in a poor section of Bos- ton. They are pledged to do some kind act each day and to protect animals from cruelty. After the cats have de- molished the tree and gone to sleep the boys are given refreshments and sent home truly filled with the spirit of Christmas. York Mall and EI. press.

SWEET G. PERCY ROBBED
Thief Entered Store Monday Night
Carried off Money and Meat.

When c. d. Sweet opened up the
meat market of Sweet & Percy
early this morning he found the
money drawer, back door and ice
box all open. Suspecting a thief he
at once made an inventory of his
stock and money and found that at
least two hams, several slices of
bacon and about two dollars in
change were missing.
On investigation II was found that
during the night a burglar had evil
IDENTIFY entered the cellar window on
the east side of the store and from
there went up stairs and helped him
self to all the money in the cash
drawer and what meat he could east
ly carry away.
1t has been the custom of Messrs
Sweet and Percy to leave only a lit.
tie change in their store over night
and this accounts for the thief not
carrying off more dough.
The window through which he
made his entrance was not protected
in any way by wire or rods and had
been left open for some time. The
door leading to the main part of the
building was unlocked giving the
thief clear sailing as soon as he got
into the cellar. Not wishing to crawl
out this window with his booty, the
marauder evidently made his escape
by the rear door.

CHAMPION WOOD CHOPPER
Novel Contest indicates Claim OF
Maxwell EVarts.

Windsor Sept. 27-Stopping only
for necessary refreshments and to
wipe the perspiration from his eyes,
Ed Moot, the so year old French Can
adam of Amsden chopped, split and
piled more than five cords of wood
here yesterday in 101s hours, COM
pleting the trick well within the time
limit of the original wager between
Maxwell Evarts OF this town and New
York, and Samuel G. Blythe of New
York, made last March at dinner in
Washington The official measurer,
c. NJ. Lawrence of Felchville, made
the exact amount of wood handled s.
Is cords. Moot pile when complet-
ed, was about 40 feet long, four feet
high and the pieces about four feet
in length. Moot also chopped and
split a quantity of wood ''for good
measure" and which he did not pile.
Interest was intense in the stunt,
which had been widely advertised and
every endeavor was made to keep the
place of the contest against time Sc
cret. Several hundred people went
to Amsden yesterday morning in the
belief that it would take place there.
When they learned that the affair was
in full swing on the old Bailey place,
back of Maxwell Evarts' farm, they
swarmed back there Ii is estimated
that fully 1000 persons attended dur
| ing the day. Among those present
were Louis A. Coolidge, assistant sec
rotary of the treasury, and Elisha
Theall a clerk of the committee on
naval affairs, Washington, d. c.; Jas.
A. Hooe OF Norfolk, Va; Charles A.
Manning and Stephen S. Palmer of
New York, F. s. Billiard of Montpel-
Ter and l.. C. White of Amsden as
guests of Mr. Evarts.
1t is understood that Mr.. Evarts
wins 800 from Mr.. Blythe and 500
from A. b. Kittredge of North Dako'
ia, besides small wagers on the con-
test. Moot will receive 5000 or more
it is said, but the exact amount has
not been given out.

ONE MILLION A DAY
LOST THROUGH
FOREST FIRES
Government Expects Estimate
of Recent Destruction.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED
inadequate State Fire Patrol and
carelessness Of Lumbermen
Largely Responsible.

Washington Sept. 29.-One million
dollars day lost forever to the Amer
| lean people!
! This is the estimate of destruction
placed by government experts upon
, the tremendous forest fires which
have been raging in the United States
during the summer in Maine, along
| the Vermont border. The great pity
is that in almost every instance the
losses might have been prevented by
the exercise of common sense. If the
various states had provided an ade
quate number of men to patrol the
woods and arrest all fires in their in.
cipiency, and If lumbermen had been
careful TO dispose of brush after log
ging, the fires would have done little
damage during the period of unusual
drought
The United States government, ex
elusive of the salaries of forest Off
GERS has spent this year 100000 in
fighting fires in the national forests
Approximately l6S,000,000 acres have
been protected. The fire losses on
the public reserves have not been as
certalned Although they will be
much larger than in former years they
will account to nothing compared with
the tremendous losses in the unpro
tected forests.
The national forests are continually
patrolled by picked force of rangers
and guards comprising an army Of
1851 men. Each man protects about
121 500 acres, and while this is toe
large an area for one man to look af
ter, excellent results in fire proven
ton have been obtained. The fire
guards this year have been provided
with field glasses, and hence have
been enabled to discover small fires al
long distance range.
In order TO facilitate fighting in th'
national forests 16U miles of roaC
and $500 miles of trail were construc
ted during the year, and many fir
breaks have been built. DR.. w. j
MCGEE, erosion expert of the agricul
tural department, has estimated thu
fire losses during the present fires il
forests to be 81 100000 a day. To pre-
vent such losses in the future the for
est service urges that the same carr
be exercised in private and state for
ests as upon the national reserves.

FRENCH NAVAL DISASTERS
In Last Eight Years 2ss Officers and
Men Have Been Killed.

Paris, Sept. 29.-The list of disas.
tiers in the French navy since August
1900, shows that q wrecks by explos
ions and other catastrophes have
caused the death OF 2SS officers and
men, and that the material losses
amount to SS5,O00,000
Unofficial opinion on the latest of
these disas els, that aboard the gun
merry training ship Latouche Treyille,
ascribes the explosion TO powder
known as powder b. which caused
the destruction OF The battleship lena
The Eciair states that the Latouche
Treyille was using powder which dat
ed back TO 1904. and which had been
twice remade. but Kept in service
from motives of economy.
With these casualties fresh in the
public mind the success of the new
shells known as shell p, after Gen.
Perruchon. their inventor, has not ex-
cited very great interest. These
shells were again tested today on the
old cruiser Admiral Duperre, protect
ed by $50 millimetres of armOr. -Four
of the shells sufiiced at a distance OF
5000 metres to sink the cruiser Each
shell was charged with 40 Kilograms
of crosylite, an explosive obtained
| from PhenOl.

TWELVE SPEECHES
MADE BY BRYAN
IN ONE DAY
Democratic Candidate In Tour
of South Dakota.
vOLLEYS OF CRITICS. M
Paid His Respects to Republican
Platform, Candidate Taft and Pre-.

Sioux, City, Ia, Sept 29.-Conduct.
ing one days campaign in South Da-
kota yesterday, W. j. Bryan poured
voleys of criticism into the republi-
can platform, Mr. Taft and President
Roosevelt. He covered a good deal
of ground in the state. Mr.. Bryan
spoke a dozen times and his favorite
arguments were on trusts, guarantee
Of banks deposits and publicity OF
campaign contributions before cleo
ton.
He inyeighed against President
Roosevelt because. rs he said, of the
presidents failure to land any trust
magnates in the penitentiary, and at
tackled him for lodging his platform.
The fact that South Dakota was car
ried for the democratic national ticket
in 1896 was referred to by Mr. Bry-
an, and he appealed for that support
again on the ground that the demo
cratic party promised real refo ms,
while the republican party I'D not
be expected to do anything in that
direction.
At every place visited by b demo.
cratic candidate, or where his train
stayed a short time. he was met by
large cheering crowds.

GREAT HUNTING IN MAINE
Season Opening Wednesday Promises
to Be Unusually Good.

Bangor, Sept. 29.-Only one day
more and the woods will echo with
rifle shots, while through the dim
trails of the forests experienced hun

reports received prior to the opening
Of the big game season of 1907, the

quently in those regions which a year
ago reported absolutely none.
This is probably due to the forest
fires which are mainly in second
growth and swamp land, where the
deer hide away In inaccessible thick
cts and only come out after the first
SHOWS, So extremely dry has this
year been that boys and swamps not
known to dry up in the memory of the
oldest hunters and guides are without
water, and the deer have been forced
to the rivers and ponds to escape from
the fires that have found their most
secret hiding place.
Wardens and hunters who have
been in the woods this summer report
etl VI bl5 6thAiC VI GIL Minus
with a fair supply of birds. 1t is gen
orally believed that the number of
big head moose is no larger than 1t
has been for several years past, and
there are many predictions that the
big moose are not to be found except
by accident or by penetrating to the
farthest haunts of these animals.
The first deer may be legally shot
on October |, but no one may shoot a
moose until October 10, after which
he may exercise his privilege on one
bull moose with antlers having at
least two points on each horn, each
point not less than three inches long.
The moose season ends at midnight
of Nov. 30, and the deer season con-
tinues for Is days longer.
The dry summer has been favorable
to the Matching of partridge and wood
cock. The large number of bear that
have been reported through the sum-
mer by the berry pickers and others
who have travelled through the sec
ton in which they roam also augurs
well for this sport.
