Tie patient had a large part OF his

BEARS IN A SCHOOL
Startling Adventure of School
Teacher in Wilderness
Two Animals Get Into Building
Through Dugout and Spring Lock
After emseIves-Attract-
ed by Honey.

Cross Fork, Pa.-When Miss Lydia
Musser, teacher of country school in
Eulalia township, opened the door Of
her schoolroom the other morning she
was confronted by two pupils who
were not enrolled in her book. Two
black bears got into the building
| through a trap door in the floor, which
led into dugout underneath used for
the storage of wood.
OF course Miss Musser, who was
alone, didn't tarry to ask the new
| scholars their names, nor whether it
was the first time they had been to
school. She slammed the door shut
against the spring lock and the bears
were again made prisoners, for it was
subsequently discovered that they had
cut off their own egress by the route

soldiers opposed him he ordered that

The army was enraged and on the
brink of revolt. His mother, in the
inner apartments, heard Of the trouble
and straightway came forth into the
judgment hall. There she made her
son stand up before her and fercely
upbraided him.

scene, to strip the old official of his

him on the back until some of the
underlings came forward and begged
that the punishment be stayed. After
time he was released and the disaf-
fected soldiers returned to their al

evidently in search for food. and the
books and other articles coming within
the reach of their search had been
roughly handled.
This is the schoolhouse in which
during the summer colony of bees
took up their abode between the wall
and the weather boards, where they
stored a quite generous supply of hon

their comb in the little basement Of
the building, and that this is what first
