The democratic candidates for the

stone roads as rapidly as financial
conditions may warrant and not un-
til then.
4. We do not, however, believe In

have in good repair and not let them
run down until they have to be re-
built at enormous expense

Animals That Weep.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from the
pains of an injured foot, and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams. A
COW sold by its mistress who had
tended it from calfhood wept pitifully.
A young soko ape used to cry from
vexation if Livingstone didn't nurse it
in his arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters. A, chimpanzee train
ed to carry water jugs broke one and
fell a-crying, which proved sorrow,
though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats,
discovering their young, drowned, have
been moved to tears of grief. A giEaffe
which huntsman's rifle had injured
began to cry when approached. Sea
lions often weep over the loss OF their.
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears .trickiing down the face OF q
diving elephant. And even an orang-
outang when deprived of its mango
was So Vexed that it took ITO weeping.
There Isl little doubt, therefore, that
| animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance. -Harper's

TO HUNT WHITE BEAR
Strange Animal Seen in the Blue
Ridge Mountains.

Members of the Monterey and
Woodmount Hunt Clubs are getting
up big party which will leave for
Clearfeld, Pa, where they will begin
q systematic hunt for a white bear
which has been seen, in the Blue
Ridge Mountains several times this
season and which, although taken by
some for an apparition, seems to be
very much alive.
The animal was first seen by Clin-
ton West, an engineer of the Western
Maryland Railroad, who, while pilot
ing the fast mail over the mountains,
saw the beast ambling along the
tracks some distance ahead of his
train. A shrek of the locomotive
whistle and the beast left the tracks
and ran into the woods. At this time
the animal was near Blue Ridge Sum-
nit. West reported the matter and
was laughed at and told he had been
dreaming.
Later several other persons report
ed seeing the bear, which they de-
scribed as being of a grayish white
color Hunters few days ago in the
woods near Crisfield saw two bears,
one of which was the white one, but
they got scent of the hunters and made
their escape. Since then so many
persons have claimed to have seen the
bear. that the experts of the hunt
clubs have taken the matter up and
will try to capture the beast alive, If
possible, or dead, if necessary.
With the exception of the polar
bears, which are all white, bears of
that color are rare and only few
have ever been shot or caught The
presence of the bear, which is de-
scribed as very large one, brings
back recollections of the MYSTERIOUS
disappearance of old John Rohn, a
mountaineer who lived in little
cabin near Clearfeld, and this settle
ment is wrought up over the matter.
Mr.. Edward Gordon, of the local
ticket office of the Western Maryland,
who is great hunter and rifle shot,
will spend few days around Clear
field also looking for the animal.
