AN UNEARTHLY CHATTER.

AN UNEARTHLY CHATTER. N
s. The superstitious mind is ever open
to the suggestion of mystery. In the
| days of witchcraft any unexpected oc-
| currence was liable to be laid at the
| door of the occult. Even to-day the
world has not entirely grown into the
sensible and safe assurance that all
phenomena, however startling, areI
based upon an explainable and entirA
ly reasonable foundation. "Obadiah
Oldpath," in his book Lin" gives an
instance where superstition offtran
wit and panic usurped common sense.
A strange scene took place in the
Old Tunnel Meeting House in Lynn
one dark evening in 1892. There
was high wind from the northeast.
The sleet was cutting, cold and be-
numbing. Nevertheless many came
to the meeting from all regions round
and assembled to- hear the famous!
Cotton Mather discourse ON wieeh2
craft All sorts of vehicles were
standing in the lee of the building,
and the poor horses snorted and shook
their heads If demonstrating against
the cruelty of their masters in leaving
them exposed.
The gusts drove the hail and big
drops on the window. Within, the
blasts made the candles fare. But
the good people were oblivious to
petty annoyances, and listened eager
ly to the harangue. The speaker
worked up the fears as well as the
zeal of his auditors.
Suddenly the wind blew open the
eastern door of the meeting house,
and the ears of the audience were as
sailed by an accumulation of such un-
earthly sounds as they never had
heard before. The people absolutely
started from their seats. 1t seemed
as if prodigious band of high keyed
instruments had begun to play with
out regard for time or tune. The con-
gregation came to the rapid conclu-
sion that an army of remorseless dew
lis was approaching. The invaders
seemed to draw nearer.
After the first paroxysm of terror
Iu0TS was d SSucIdl TuSu " SSCdpc
from the house. Pell NELL the good
people went, from doors and win
dows They left the church alone,
but the uncanny noises continued.
Guns were heard, and thus another
terror was added.
The next day there came the reve-
lation. Two good citizens displayed
a large lot of splendid wild geese to
sell. An immense flock of the birds
had been overtaken by the storm,
which had so obstructed their flight
that, with ice covered wings, they had
alighted in field in the vicinity of
the meeting house, and while adjust
ing their plans for the night, they
had grown more and more excited.
Their trumpetings had caught the
ears of two sensible men, who had in
vestigated and secured goodly num-
Der Of the geese.

The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1910-01-20

"The man who speculates on futures

per, the next day a millionaire, and
again a pauper, is not happy. He
burns up his strength and his life in
a fever of excitement, and m to
his end without having ever really en-
joyed himself.
Happiness and contentment be-
long to the tiller of the soil, the me-
chanic, the merchant, who carr their
money by labor and invest their saw
ings wisely to provide themselves a
home for their declining years. They
always know just where they are and
their lives are sweetened by q sense
Of security.
II guess I know about as many
stock and grain gamblers as does any
man in the country. And I do not
know one who risks any large per

1T Is foolishness for . man to try
to be a small gambler. II he has the

BEAR WORSE THAN GRIZZLY
Brown Animal In Alaska Grows as

by Indian Hunters.

Seattle, Wash.-Joseph King, United
States game warden for Alaska, who
has Just returned from the north, says
that the law for the protection Of wild
animals Is obeyed with the exception
that the provision which provides a
closed season for the great brown bear
is utterly ignored. and for good req
sons.
This savage beast, the largest bear
in the world and the only one which
does not Zee from man, attains the
height Of a horse. In the summer
months men are afraid to turn out
their horses and never venture from
their cabins without rifles.

For years the planters have been

noticed that a living hawk lowering in

training hawks. The effort was made
but u hawks did not prove tractable
and We had to give up that Idea.
"Then we tried the p%erching Of
stuffed hawks here and there about
the field. in poses of evident watching
for opportunity to swoop down on the
rice birds. This would have the de-
sired effect for q day or so, but the
little feathered pests would then dis
that the hawks were not the
real swooping-down kind and resume

before the Commissioners yesterday
morning to protest against the location
Of theatrical property yard at the cor
ner of Sixth and I streets northeast
Rev. c. S. Abbott. jr., said it would tend
to depreciate values OF property, and that
such a yard would very probably become
q lounging place for carriers. &C, which
would make it unpleasant for children
and girls going to various meetings dur

He suggested that as there are no open
spaces or parks in the northeast section
between Stanton Square and Kendall
Green, that the contemplated space for
the property yard be converted into a
parked street, open space, or playground
W. J. Frizzell. for the Northeast Citi-

COLD STORAGE MEN TO MEET
Conference at Willard Called for
Friday Night.
Members of American Warehouse
mems Association VIII Discuss
Federal Supervisors.

At the New Willard Hotel on Friday
evening next there is TO be a conference
OF the cold storage members Of the Amer
lean Warehousemen's Association. 7. A.
Adams sent out the following statement
from New York yesterday.
THE conference is for the purpose of
discussing subjects which have gained
prominence through recent investigation
Of beef packers in relation to their use Of
storage warehouses.
what will interest the general public
is the probability that we will discuss the
expediency of asking for Federal super
vision of our business. I have no author
ity for saying that Federal supervision
will be discussed but have reasons for
believing the subject will be taken up. In
my opinion such supervision is desirable
for several reasons. also il would aid in
ending any confusion in the public mind
as 10 the relations between the packers
and the public cold storage warehouses.
THE general public does not stop 10
think that under the producing conditions
Of this country we must produce in one
half Of the year nearly all we eat in the
entire year. and that the better facilities
we have for carrying over the summer
surplus for winter use, the better protec-
ton We shall have against famines and
spectators.
Il am sure there is not one case in ten
thousand where any article Of food is car
-ied as long as twelve months. II Is only
carried over from the season of flush pro-
duction 20 the season Of scarcity, and is
not carried any longer"
