Winnipeg, b. C.-While standing on

stoke James A. Macdonald, chief en-
gineer for a contracting firm on the
big tunnel, saw bear come out of q
bush and carry off the eight-year-oid
son Of William Lines, locomotive en-

Macdonald chased the bear. The

that the man managed to rescue the
boy, who was seriously injured, but he

Tears flow during two opposite psy-
chic states-in extreme sadness and over
whelming JOY, in grief which arrests out
cries and in pleasure which is manifested
by violent laugh. How does it happen
that emotions so contrary can exteriorize
themselves by an identical physiological
phenomenon-tears? Laughter is an effort,
and, as in labor such as is needed for rails
ing a great weight, there is a stoppage Of
the respiration, so that the inhalations are
interrupted every instant. 1t is enough

JUDGE ENOCHS
Died YESTERDAY

Jackson, Miss July S.-Telephones
were received here yesterday announc-
ing the death of Judge John R. Enochs,
of Brandon, just and influential men,
Der of the bar of that historic town,
aged about Sc years.
Judge Enochs had been in bad
health several months, and for long
time his friends and family realized
that it would be his last illness. He
received the very best of care and
medical attention, but heart disease
had taken firm hold on him and no
power on earth could have stopped it's
ravages, so that the once strong and
robust form was reduced to a shadow
of it's former self.
Judge Enochs was a native of Ran
kin County, having been born and
raised at what was for years Stems
Greek, and now Florence, being a son
of Carroll Enochs, one of the most
prosperous men and strongest charac-
ters in that section of the state.

the firm promises that the draft will
be promptly honored.
1t is expected that there will be
anywheres from half a dozen to a
dozen bids filed and in this connec-
ton it is learned that several local
contractors will file bids. All things
being equal, the board should give
preference to local contractors and the
opinion seems to prevail that unless
there is wide difference the board
should and will favor local contractors.
There is one thing that the public
believes that the board should guard
against and that is extras" In near
ly every public building contractors
suggest changes and then charge an
outrageous price for making the
changes. 1t is believed that the board
would do well to have some under
standing about this.
