BIG BEAR IS. KING
Pennsy|vanians Regard Huge
Brute as Supernatural Thing.
Rare Animal Roaming on Hills Of
keystone State is Safe from
Bullets and Terror to People
OF the Backwoods.

Cleartield, Pa.-Between the curl.
osity and the superstition that the ap.
pearance of white, or albin0. bear
has caused in that section of the coun-
try lying north of Karthaus, across
the plateau to the hills overlooking
Heating, in Clinton county, this
freak animal is the sensation of the
season. In all the history of Pennsyl-
vania Dackwoods experiences this is
the frat time that the appearance of
white bear in this section of the
world has been reported.
The rare animal has been seen
twice since the opening OF the hunting
season, but it will require somebody
with less superstition than the natives
to kill the albino. The superstition
Is something akin to the old fear Of
seeing or killing white deer, and the
probability is that this rara specimen
will be permitted to go unnlolested.
Once last summer this creature was
seen near wayside spring by team
ster, who had stopped to water his
horses, but he thought 1t WAS a stray
white calf, and so reported it. But
soon after the bear season opened this
fall, and while two hunters were
tramping the "slashings" beyond the
John Rohn place, one OF them was
startled to see two bears rise from
their "wallow" and start off into the
thicket, and one Of these was as white
as dirty bear, after a season in the
dust, could afford to be.
The black bear was killed by shot
from the hunters gun, but the albino,
though equally as good chance was
afforded to hit it, was permitted to
hike off into the bushes and to safety.
One day recently, while young
fellow by the name of Smoke was in
tbs woods in the same general neigh
borhood he caught sight of the white
bear and ran all the way home, dis
lance Of nearly three miles, lest the

The remarks of President Swain to

much of sound sense. DO not form

usually take care of itself. College stu.

IAN oLD-FAsHIoNED WINTER!s

Those who believe that nature gives
various warnings in the fall when the
winter is going to be severe, are pre-
dieting strenuous season for snow
and ice and low temperature. They
say that the wild birds which stay In
the north during the winter have I'M
usually thick plumage. The shells of
nuts are reported to be heavier than
they are when mild winter is coming,
and chestnut burrs are also of the
"old-fashioned winter" kind, if these
weather prophets are correct. Fur
bearing animals are more warmly
clad, according to the same wiseacres,
than they are before "open" winters,
and the bones of geese make the same
prophecy. It is all very interesting,
but men who make the study of the
weather their life work and bring to
bear upon it all of the learning and
scientific resources of the age, utterly
reject these much trusted warnings.
They are certain that there is nothing
in the whole theory of animal prep
arations, conscious or unconscious, for
differences in winters They do not
believe that the trees grow more bark
or put thicker burrs on nuts because
the winter is going to be severe In
fact, the scientific experts who deal
with the climate seriously and with
Infinite pains, in all civilized countries,
year after year, are sure that there is
no nature sign language which tells
the character of the weather months

Don't Knock

The Don't Knock campaign inaUgUr- ated in Juneau by the Commercial club has brought forth many suggestions and some peculiar conditions. t is said that @. professional man of that city who had sign on his door which read "Enter Without Knocking" has changed it to "Leave Without Knock ing"
 The following suggestions. by A. E.. Adams in The Insignia gre iu line with the thought:
 "If there is @ chance to boom busi. mess, boom it. Don't be akuocker. Don't pull long face and get sour ou your stomach Get a smile on you. Hold up your head Get hold with both hands. Then pull. Bury your hatchet. Drop yoar tomahGwE. Hide your little hammer. When stranger drops in, tell him this is the greatest place OF earth. 1t is. Don't get mulish. Don't rogst. Be jolly. Get popular. It's dead easy. Help your self along. Boost your friends with you. Soon you'll have whole pro cessiou. Be a good fellow.
 "No man ever helped himself by knocking other people down. No man ever got rich trying 10 make other peo- pie believe that he was the only good man on earth. You, can't climb. the ladder of fame by stepping on other peoples corrs They're their Gorns. Not yours. Keep off the cosns.
 "All men are not alike. Once in a while you may fnd one who is very much alike. But some are different. If you don't like their style let them alone. Don't knock. You'll get used to if. There is no eud of fGu'iu mind ing your own business. And 1t makes other people like you better. Better have others get stuck ou you than get stuck on yourself. Nobody gets stuck ou kuocker."
