game in his country. said last night that
the cunning shown by bears in avoiding
traps set for their destruction is often
marvellous.
They will often look askance at the
most tempting bait. and keep clear OF
the steel jaws" he said, while at other
times they will approach the trap gin
gerly, uncover the wicked steel teeth,
send the trap spinning with the cuff OF a
paw. and then eat the bait at their leis-
ure. They will enter the best-eonsuucted
pen, rip off the top logs, and carry away
the bait
The Maine black bear has been

tons by hunters shows the favorite food
of the bear is vegetables. nuts. berries,
roots, &c. The bear viii eat carbon

OF putrid fish, which IS used largely IN
batting traps. Many complaints have
been made by farmers in the northern
and eastern parts OF the State Of bears.
which have done great damage 10 their
sheep dOcks. and the farmers are right IN
their claim. for more than one bear has
been killed with the damaging evidence
Of sheep murder strong upon him
However that may be, the old hunters
say the bear is not naturally killer OF
sheep. Once he gets the taste OF fresh
mutton he is likely to crave II, but his
first taste is excited by hunger. and a
hungry bear is not particular about the
manner in which he gets his food"

splendid progress and the interest be-
ing shown towards the organization Of
such club was beyond their expectation.
Now as we have started the ball a
rolling, let's keep it going, and each and
every member talk up interest and Sc

While soliciting members, several
suggested turning this into Y M. c.

preferable, ani we would like to see
it started, but think the undertaking
would be too great at present. How
ever, Mr.. w. A. Morgan will address

make his plan one that can be put in

In a car specially chartered for tho
purpose Col Theodore Roosevelt left
his home Tuesday to begin tour of
the West that promises to attract as
much if not more public attention than
any trip he made while he was Presi-
dent The trip will extend over a
period of eighteen days and Will carry
the former President as far west as
Cheyenne, Wyo.
The rumors that Colondl Roosevelt
is not in thorough sympathy with the
Taft administration and the fact that
his speeches are to be delivered for
the most part in "insurgent' territory
have caused the politicians of all par
ties and all shades to look forward to
the ex-President s swing around the
circle with feeling Of keen interest,
not unmixed with anxiety in some
quarters.
AS a matter of fact, however, those
who stand closest to Col Roosevelt arc
of the opinion that he will steer clear
of Republican fractional differences in
the States where he is to speak. They
predict that he wiI3 discuss issues ir-
respective of party platforms or fact
ionaI policies, and that he is likely to
step on the toes of some insurgents as
well as upon those of the regulars. It
is believed, moreover, that the pres
ent trip will dispose once for all of the
assertion of some insurgents that Col.
Roosevelt is out of sympathy with
President Taft and the majority of his
party.
Col. Roosevelt stopped off in Utica
and made a speech to the farmers of
Oneida and Herkimer counties. While
in Utica he was the guest of his broth
eer-in.law, Douglas Robinson. From
Utica he will 60 direct to Cheyenne
using the New York Central Railroad
to Buffalo, the Lake Shore to Chicago
the Northwestern to Omaha, and the
Northern Pacific to Cheyenne. He will
arrive at Cheyenne Saturday, and re
main there until the following Monday.
The Frontier Day celebration will be
in progress in the Wyoming capital, and
Col Roosevelt expects to meet all his
odd comrades of the plains there.
Leaving Cheyenne Col. Roosevelt will
90 direct to Denver and will spend
the afternoon and evening of Monday,
Aug %, there. The purpose of his
visit to Denver will be to speak at the
opening of the national encampment of
the United Spanish War Veterans.
From Denver he viii go to Osawatomie,
Kansas, for the dedication of n State
park on the oil Osawatomie battlefield.
This event is scheduled for Wednesday,
August 81.
The following day the ex-Preesident
will visit Kansas City and it is said
