WILL BREED YOUNG BEARS.

While on a hunting trip IN the
North recently, Henry P. Bridges, a
Baltimore lawyer, purchased two
young black bears which be will place
on his game preserve at WOOdmOnt,
near Hancock, Maryland. A pen
has been constructed for the animals.
Mr.. Bridges has preserve of 5000
acres, and has already stocked it with
a number of game birds ard beasts
among them eight wild turkeys, elk
English ring.necked pheasants, FIVE
Chinese pheasants and twenty Belgian
hare,. Mr.. Bridges is now after
some deer for the preserve.
The bears were secured at Saranac
Lake, New York, in the heart Of the
Adirondack Mountains. The two
weigh 700 pounds. Their pelt is
beautifully marked, and they are con.
sidered fine specimens Of the Canadian
black bear.
The young bears and deer and 9TH
er game which will be raised will be
turned loose as soon as they are old
enough to take care of themselves.
The old ones will be kept for breed
ing purposes. A large frame and
glass inclosure has been built for their
protection and care.
The zoo has become very popular
with the people of the country round
about. It's open to slghtSeers. Sun
day over fifty people drove In to see
the animals. Mr. Bridges hopes to
arouse their interest in his plan for
the preservation and increasing of the
game.
Interested in the preserve with Mr..
Bridges are Messrs. Nelson Perrin, Bar
lett johnson, Jr., and Thomas Clai-
borne, Baltimore. They purchased
the land from the Woodmont Rod and
Gun Club of Washington, D. O., about
two years ago. 1t was well-known
hunting club, but when the club.
house burned down the members de.
cided to give it up. Former PreIi-
dent Cleveland went hunting and
fishing there on several occasions.
The present owners, all of whom are
enthusiastic hunters, are planning to
organize hunting club. Henry P.
Bridges, who is the attorney for the
owners, is in charge of the arrange.
ments.
Mr.. Bridges is greatly interested in
hunting in Maryland. 1t was chiefly
through his efforts that former Gov
ernor Warfeld appointed special
game warden for Western Maryland.
He is in favor Of the State maintain
ing such preserve at its own expense.
Mr.. Bridges was born at Hancock,
Washington county. He declares
that the country near there will make
the best limiting district in the United
States, provided the necessary laws
for its protection are passed. he be-
lieves that the whole section should lie
well stocked. For that reason no
fences or Enclosures have been built
around the Woodmont grounds. The
various species of game when turned
loose will be allowed to go where
they please.
Under this provision the young
bears and deer and other game which
will be raised may wander all over
Washington and AlleganY counties.

Two Temperance Fables.

Once a prince was eating when a
fly came through the open window
and alightsd on his food. he could
have killed it easily, but instead idly
watched it, and admired its iridescent
wings. The next day it came again,
this time a large butterfly. Do not
harm it" the prince said to MS cour
tiers, there is food enough for both
Of Us, and see how beautiful its wings
have becomel" The third day it had
grown as large as a bat, and the
prince became alarmsl as be stT i.
take all his drink, BE ordered all of
the windows and doors closed that il
might not enter s3Iin. The fol.h
day, it was the size of hawk; it broke
through a window aud entered as be-
fore, and this time it devourSl all the
food upon the table. "Put iron bars
across the windows, commanded he,
thoroughly alarmed, that l may eat
and drink aud not die" But the
next day the attsnilnts heard the
twisting of bars and the shattsring of
glass and then screams, and rushIngln
they found the prince dead upol the
Aoor, aud upon his throat were marks
of the beak and talons of 3 Vulture
At first he conld have killed the fly,
but at last the vulture killed him.
At first you may overcome an inch-
nation to do wrong. At last the in-
clination becomes so strong that it oV-
ercomes you, as this fable teaches.

LAW IS REPEALED
HOUSE ACTS ON NEW MEXICO LEG-
 IsLATI0N.
The Territorial Act Deals With Civil Procedure in Personal Injury Cases--GOes to President
 for Signature.


 Washington. May s.--Under suspen- sion of the rules, the House today en yea and nay vote. passed unanimous ly the Senate resolution repealing the act of the territorial Legislature of New Mexico. which passed over the Governors veto March II. 1903.
 The territorial act deals with cIvil procedure In personal injury cases. The resolution now goes to the President for his signature. having passed the Senate in March, Mir. Birdsall of Iowa, having the bill in charge. declared that the law was the most remarkable piece of legislation ever enacted. Instead of being "an act to regulate the law and procedure in certain cases" he said. it should be entitled "an act to prevent the recovery of damages for injuries received In accidents or other wise upon railways within the Terri tory of New Mexico"
 It, was, he asserted, an iniquitous act of the Legislature and demonstrate ed the wisdom of the law giving to Congress absolute control over the legislation of the territories. The passage of the resolution was urged by MT. Henry (Texas). who character ized the act of the Legislature as in- famous.
 In the opinion of Mir. Clayton (Ala.) no layman could read the law of the Legislature without being mortified at it's outrages That law, he charged was passed at the instance of railroads which, he said. tyrannized the people of New Mexico and deprived them of public justice.
