MADDENED THE BEAR.
ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the Mexicans.

Ingenious Trap That Was FormerI,
Used by the Mexicans.
The Me1icans in California had an
ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent OF the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
g1on. A piece offmeat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet
above a rope was suspended, to the
end of which a large stone was made
last so that it hung about six inches
above and a trif1e nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait. In doing
SO he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger of the
bear. and he would give the stone |
sweep of his paw which would send
It swinging farther out The conse-
luence was harder bang and more
niger. The more he struck the stone
he harder he would be hit in return.
Until from ferocious anger he would
ose his caution and attack the pendu-
um with all his vigor. One powerful
weep. then bang. and bruin would be
umbled out of the tree to the rocks
Glow, where, disabled by his fall, he
7ould be at the mercy of those who
ct the trap whenever they chose to
Ike him.

Shakespeare'a Educatian

Shakespeare could not have been an
educated man, that is, in the academic
sense OF the word, for he was mere
youth when he went to London from
Stratford and had had, up to that time
only such mental training as he could
pick up in the schools of his native
town. 1t nowhere appears that he at
tended school after leaving Stratford.
AND yet, as Matthew Arnold says, he
lived during his London residence gin
a current of ideas in the highest degree
an1matfng and nourishing to the crea-
i've faculty in society permeated by
fresh thought, intelligent and alive"
And he used not only the ideas which
he 1mbibed as they f1oated around him.
out all the learning he could pick up |
without neglectfng his calling.-New

The Gallery Gods Applause

Lawrence Barrett once told Of q
conversation he had with Edwin Booth.
The latter had been congratulated up
on an ovation given him by a crowded
house on the opening night of an en-
gagement. 1.-THE sweetest music to nv
ears" said the great tragedian, "is the
shouting of the boys in the gallery. /
know they are not applauding because
l have a reputation or because they
wish to make display. They simply
give vent to their natural enthusiasm.
When they shout I know that l am
giving a good performance. As for the
parquet, 1t may clap its hands out of
politeness. A dramatic critic who had
certain notions as to how a line should
be read will applaud if / read it his
way; otherwise he will remain quiet.
can never analyze the applause of
ne front rows, but the gallery is sin

Among Recent Arrivals

William EastOn came back yester-
day, sorry because he got In too late
for Labor Day,glad to be here never
. theless. He was tired of touring
and wanted only home, sweet home
was what William told the officer
who found him using the telephone
in the residential part of the Jail.
Finding no one around to greet him
upon his return he had walked right
in.
To inquisitive persons William pre-
ferred not to discuss his peregrina-
tions-at least not for publication.
He had already been given more pub
licity than the Beattie case, he COM
planned. He had returned because
leach little bird likes it's own little
nest"-that was all there was to
that. Another thing was that he
had date with Sam Blythe for an
interview for the who's Who"
page, and he had promised Sam that
he wouldn't talk to any of the rest
of the boys.
William got sixty days from
jury which tried him in the corpora.

tanning money under false pretences.
He escaped from the gang to be sub
'equently recaptured and to have
he sentence doubled. He again es-
'aped and had been at liberty until

QUEER stunt Of BOLT
Hits County Man in the Head
Without Killing Him
GROVER AsHBY HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Rendered Unconscious-Wife and
Child Got off Unhurt


Struck by lightning and rendered
unconscious, his head and arm bad
ly burned and seven holes drilled II
the bottom of his foot while one Of
the horses he was driving was killed
and the other knocked down, the
cracker torn from the buggy whip
and the top of the vehicle and one
spoke of one wheel shattered-all
of these things happened to Grover
Ashby, we'll known resident of
this county, on Sunday afternoon,
and yet he lives to tell the tale.
Mr.. Ashby makes his home with
Perry Anderson on the latter's place
near Staunton. With his wife and
child in the buggy with him he was
returning home on Sunday afternoon
after having attended church ser
vices at Spring Hill. when overtaken
by a storm. In an effort to reach
shelter Mr.. Ashby hurried the horses,
and had reached the place of H. C.
Wenger, when the bolt tore its way
out from the black overhead.
Mr.. Ashby did not hear the thun-
der clap which followed the light
ming. He remembers only the flash
and nothing more until he regained
consciousness some minutes later and
found the rain beating into his face,
and say his wife and child nearby
aAA uh6urt. 1t was in the inyesti-
cation which came afterward that
Mr.. Ashby took full inventory of the
damage, and learned how really mi
raculous had been his escape.
He had been thrown clear from the
buggy by the lightning. A hole was
torn in the side of his head, and
another small hole was burned in
his arm. His clothes had been set
on fire, but the flames had been
luenched by the driving torrents of
rain which came Immediately after
he flash. In the bottom of his foot
ne found seven small punctures
which corresponded to the steel nails !
n his shoe.
The cracker had disappeared from
he tip Of his buggy whip, and the
covering had also been stripped from
while one corner of the buggy top
lad been knocked away, and one
poke-and one spoke only-had
'een cut from a wheel and torn into
plinters.
Neither Mrs. Ashby nor the child
ad been injured in the least, though
hey were both greatly frightened,
nd the horse which had been knock
d down quickly recovered from its
Experience. All in all it was one of
he most remarkable cases that has
cen reported during summer that
as witnesses many freak perform
noes of lightning.
Mr.. Ashby spent yesterday in
taunton visiting his brother r. H.
shby. He is lame as the result of
hat the lightning did for his foot
nile the one arm Is wrapped in
lndages. Otherwise he seems to be
tile the worse for his frightful ex-
,rience. .

| visiting firemen assembled at the

which showed the spirit of the day,
and which was greatly appreciated

pacity to hold the great crowd which
gathered there tor the athletic con-

OF the meet was Herbert Larner who
won first in three races, the 12O yard

While the races were being run on
Main street and while the various
contests were being pulled off at the
park, the West Augusta Guards as

was probably due the fact that there
