OLD BEAR MAKES EN- SCOOT
Hunters Find Vermont Woods Full of
Fierce Beasts-Sportsmen Run
When Pursued.

Burlington. Vt.-The Vermont bear.
which for years has been almost
curiosity, is fast returning to his old
haunts, and today the woods of the
Green Mountains are literally full of
them. An example of the Vermont
bruins returning audacity is found in
the experience of. two hunters.
Fred May and a friend were hunt
ing small game near the banks of the
Winooski river, when they suddenly
came upon an old she bear and two
cubs. AS she showed fight May let
fly at her with charge of birdshot
and took to his heels with the bear in
close pursuit. AS she was gaining
rapidly on the men they discarded
their guns, ammunition and haver-
sacks full OF gray squirrels, thankful
to escape with their lives.

Washington, ID. Cit takes a good

its shock all right. Major Sylvester,
head of the police department, would
not put pantalets on Venus or supply
her with sweater. But he did find it
necessary to drape the marble nude
which Mrs. A. c. Barney had shipped
from Paris to her home in Washington
which stood exposed to public view
in the garden of her residence. 1t
was not modesty alone which induced
Sylvester to cover what is thought to
be the counterfeit presentment of
Mrs. Barney's daughter Natalie. Such
throngs had gathered to gaze at the
marble and comment on it that the
neighbors complained to the major
and he sent two detectives to cover

CALF AND GOOSE ARE CHUMS
Mount Vernon, N. ", Animal Attempts
Suicide When Fowl Is
Taken Sick.

New Rochelle, n. Y.-No stranger
affection ever existed than that be-
tween a calf and a goose, owned by
Miss Hannah George, who lives on
little farm, near Mount Vernon. The
friendship sprang up when Miss
George sold her COW and the calf was
turned into a pasture where there
were no bushes to brush away the
flies.
One day the goose, seeing a swarm
of flies on the calf while it was lying
down, caught and ate nearly every
fly that was bothering It, The calf
was grateful for the attention and
chased a dog that was in the habit OF
worrying the goose. Since then the
goose has been the calf's constant
companion. spending the entire day
strutting around and jumping for the
flies that light on the calf When the
goose is tired it will sit on the calf in
the shade and watch for more flies.
One day the goose was sick and was
kept in closed pen. The calf, miss
ing it's friend, would not be consoled
and attempted to strangle itself with
its rope. Miss George disentangled
it just in time to save its life

If You only diet for the sake of fig.

EUST the most beautiful of all mil

II this exquisite New York model had

new then and seized upon by the Paris
designers as one would seize upon gold
coins lying about the streets. In
fact, a good new idea is the same
thing-it can readily be coined into
substantial money.
This charming hat is very large and
apparently very simple. But let no
one be deceived as to its simplicity.

it with a tarpaulin. The picture is of
Miss Barney, who is said TO have
posed for her sisters figure Of the re-
clining beauty.
When this statue was discovered in
the Barney yard it was equal to the
latest novelty in moving pictures for
attracting a crowd. The people of
Washington almost mobbed the Bar
ney residence. and nearly tore down
protecting fences in their efforts to
get clearer view of the nude figure
You would have thought it was the
sale yard of a busted-up automobile
firm If you would have noted and
counted the swell automobiles lined
up in front of the Barney residence,
with their owners eagerly searching
for the marble figure with opera
glasses. Adjacent windows were fill
ed with the same morbidly curious.
Taking it altogether there was a pref
ty hot scene with the mob which the
police were speedily called to quiet as
it gathered about the Barney resi-
dence.
The only explanation made of this
display of uncommon art is that the
marble is to decorate some portion of
the interior of the Barney residence,
and was so big it could not be taken
through windows or doors and a spe-
cial opening would have to be made,
and SO the piece of sculpture was
chucked down beside the garden fence
until it could be gotten inside of the
house.

The trimming is a dull metallic ling
like ornament in gold and silver. The
shape is perfection, forming Nack-
ground against which the face. neck
and shoulder become a picture.
Another extremely large hat, COW
cred with Duchess lace, is shown in
Fig 2. The brim droops without an
upwards flare, and is not quite so
graceful as in the first hat, but is
found more becoming to certain types
of faces. The trimming Of ostrich is
fancy mounting and combination of
rich Persian coloring, is the note Of
climax in the model, which has been
much admired.
Either of these demonstrate how

no doubt as to its beauty.
