TO HUNT WHITE BEAN
Strange Animal Seen in the
Ridge Mountains.

Members OF the Monterey
Woodmount Hunt Clubs are get
up a big party which will leavet
Clearfeld, Pa, where they will bd
systematic hunt 3Jr a white u
which has beep Z Seen In the -
Ridge MountaB several times u
season and Ykch. although taken 4
some for apMpparition, seems to
very much olive.
The animal was first seen by CliA
ton West, an engineer OF the Westef3
Maryland Railroad, who, while piloE
ing the fast mail over the mountainS|
saw the beast ambling along thk
tracks some distance ahead OF hif
train. A shrek OF the locomotive
whistle and the beast left the track5
and ran into the woods AT this time
the animal was near Blue Ridge SUM-
init 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 a 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
viii try to capture the beast alive, II
possible. or dead, II necessary.
With the exception OF the polar
bears, which are all white, bears 81
that color are rare and only few
have ever been shot or caught. The
presence OF the bear. which is de-
scribed as a very large one. brings

is NO PERFECT HUSBAND.
AIso M, Be Remarked That There Is
No Perfect wife.

A distinguished lecturer, who has
also won fame In the pulpit, Is going
around the country describing the
perfect husband and is received with
delighted audiences---of women. 1t
is much to be regretted that men are
not IN attendance. We are not awRre
that there AFe many 9sefdst -lItssb baAGs-
IN the world, and If the learnd lec-
turer has some new points which VIII
Increase the serenity OF the domestic
henrthatone the men should have
them.
II does not seem 10 have occurred
10 the women who are SO enthusiastic
over this typical but unfound perfect
husband that he win never be happy
without a perfect wife. We admit
that ag a rule women are better than
men IN the large morals OF life, bit
the perfect one has not been discover
ed Hence the domestic squhbbles,
hence the divorce cpuTts hence these
tears The perfect btxAand has q large
load TO carry. antf w. much 10 be
feared that be finds iife a burden al
times because of his lack OF sympathy.
The perfect wife. II she exists, is al
ways saddled on to human imperfec-
tlon OF the male variety and much is
the fuss made about H. Men are con-
tent Ike the humble beings that they
are, to take their troubles silently.
but wives feel that the world Is en-
titled to know the burden OF their
SORROWS.
All OF which is slush. of course.
There Is neither perfect man nor
woman In the world, and It isn't par
ticularly desirable that there should
be home without friction. but IL is
quite possible and essential that the
difficulties be reduced to the mini
mum.
The whole trouble with the matri-
monial situation today is that there
Is so little OF the willing mind on
either side to seek an accommodation.
In married life there Is a necessary
compromise between two individual
natures. Wise couples are willing to
establish a home based on mutual
sacrifice, mutual love, and mutual
help The, unwise couples rush to
home and mother and then to the di-
vorce courts.
People IN this world who complain
of trouble have usually themselves TO
blame. Most OF the troubles we have
never happen. and such as occur may
for the most part, be avoided The
perfect man and woman are not nec-
essary. but the sensible man and wife
do not need the law or the prophets
TO make them happy in their own
home, It takes two persons always
to make quarrel, and It is easier to
effect a happy compromise than most
persons imagine.
Some people think married life a
torment II so, 1t is because they
have remarkable facilities for making
II so. The world Is filled with happy
homes. s.--Philadelphia Inquirer
