Pound Maine Bear Knocks Would

New York-"The brazen impudence
of the Maine bear" said a man from
Main the other day to a reporter here,
is what makes him a terror to the
backwoods farmers Of that state and
was what led to the putting Of price
on his head some years ago. 1t also
led to the invention of various devices
for destroying him.
1.-THE favorite device was the trap
gun. In nine cases out of ten when
this gun went off 1t settled the bear.
l have known instances, though, in
which the trap gun fell little short Of
doing its work thoroughly and led to
unpleasant consequences for the farm
er who set it. AS l recall it now, a
little the worst torn-up man I ever
saw or heard Of was a farmer named
Harvey, who made a trifing miscal-
culation once on Maine bear that
had touched off trap gun.
1.-THE bear had busted himself for
some time in playing havoc with Har-
ways farm products, both of growing
crops and live stock, and SO Harvey
lost patience with the marauder and
rugged up a trap gun to put an end
to his career. An experienced woods
man, one William Johnson, directed
the arrangement Of the trap gun. and

viii Rid Farmers Home of Pests
House infested With Blacksnakes

Topeka, Kan.-Chemists have
worked out medicines which will drive
rats and mice and insects out of
house, but none ever developed a
scheme that will drive snakes out
The Kansas board of health has asked
the chemists Of the State university
and Agricultural college to see If they
can find something which will drive
blacksnakes out Of the home Of Tbeo.
dore Herman at Beloit.
Herman has appealed to the board
for something which will let him live
in the house. He was driven out Of
his home two weeks ago by bl1ck-
snakes and has not been able to ex-
terminate them yet, although he has
killed more than 200. The snakes are
apparently as thick as ever.
Herman is a prosperous farmer and
lives two miles from Beloit in a stone
house, built many years ago. One aft
ernoon Mrs. Herman put her baby in
the go-cart preparing for walk. The
baby had broken its bottle that morn
ing and Herman was going to bring a
new one home that evening. A bowl Of
milk was placed in the bottom Of the
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1911-11-10

go-cart and the baby ate through
long rubber tube.
Mrs. Herman left the baby in the
hall while she went to the living room
to get her purse and hat She heard
the baby laughing and thought some
of the neighbors had dropped in for a
visit. She walked into the hall and
found two big blacksnakes eating the
milk in the babys bowl.
Mrs. Herman ran to the baby and
carried It in her arms while she went
back to get her hat. She found two
more snakes in her hat box and an
other crawling up the leg of the dress
ing table. Mrs. Herman was afraid to
leave by the front door where she had
seen the two snakes eating her baby's
milk SO she started out the kitchen
door and found three snakes hanging
from the sill. Mrs. Herman escaped
through a window and went to her
mothers home.
When Mr.. Herman came by his wife
stopped him and told of the snakes.
He went home, accompanied by his
wife's brother, to exterminate tho
snakes. Herman picked up what he
thought was stick and the first thing
he knew he had a snake coiled around
his arm and kissing in his face. They
killed 20 snakes that night and have
killed from six to thirty every day
since, but each day they find the
snakes as plentiful as before.
No one knows where the snakes
came from or how they happened to
appear in such numbers and in this
house. Killing them does not eradi-
cate them. so the states chemists are
trying to find something that will
drive them out Fumigsting the house
with strong formaldehyde candles and
with sulphur failed to keep the snakes
out more than an hour. The Hermans
are living at the home Of Mrs. Her
mans parents.

MANY CHILDREN ARE KILLED
British House of Commons to Hole
Punishable Parents Who Cause
Death of Young Infants.

So many cases have been reported
in Great Britain of children being
smothered to death by drunken par
ents rolling over on them during the
night that it was decided lately In
the House of Commons to class these
fatalities among punishable offenses
and to hold the drunken parents re-
sponsible. The member who reported
the bill said that in Great Britain ev-
cry year there were 1000 deaths of
babies caused in this way.
In Germany few years ago when
the attention of the authorities had
been called to the large death rate
there for the same cause, parents
were made responsible and the per-
centage of fatal cases began at once
to decrease.
Under the new laws, when it can
be proven that the person having
charge of child was drunk when he
or she went to bed and death or in
jury came to the child, the drunken
person can be brought up for trial
upon the charge of criminal neglect.
Hitherto these cases have been re.
garded as highly regrettable Incl.
dents; now. however, they compel the
drunkard to know that the helpless,
child must not be put In peril.

Near the seaport Of Southampton,
England, there is a remarkable edi-
fee known as Petersen's tower, which
marks the burying place of certain
John Petersen, wealthy tea planter.
The man appears to have been rather
an eccentric individual, and in order
to prove to the world his belief In
concrete as building material, he set
about the construction of this great
tower. The building took many years
to complete, but is entirely of con-
crete. and by the time the final lay
ers had been placed had reached an al
titude of more than 300 feet. 1t Is
about 40 years since the tower was
erected, and its present condition is
certainly a justification of the faith
of the builder. Petersen left instruc-
lions that his remains should be
placed under the tower, and this was
accordingly done. Another desire, that
the chamber at the summit should con-
tain light. was defeated by the firm
stand which Trinity house, the light
house authority, took on the matter.
Such an illumination would have been
visible for miles out at sea and would
have proved misleading to sailors.

Beer Guzzlinq,

When the kaiser condemned beer
guzzling he did not enter the debat.
able field where scientists and physi.
clans disagree, but remained out
where there can be no argument.
Whether or not a temperate use can
be made of beer by adults without
physical injury is another matter.
What the emperor said was that beer
drinking by boys and university stu
dents was a menace to the German
nation. and that danger for it's de-
termination does not require any sci
entific study Of the effect of small
quantities of alcohol on the human
machine.
Some physicians prescribe beer and
others prescribe 1t or any drink con-
tanning alcohol, terming 1t a drug,
poisonous to the system in proportion
to the quantity of alcohol 1t contains.
The kaiser kept his hands out of that
dispute. His lecture went to the stu
dent corps which admires great beer
capacity as manly virtue. There
can be no debate over his admonition.

SAVED BY HER FALSE HAIR

False hair saved the life of Miss
Flora Brand of Higginsvile, Mo-.
when Missouri Pacific engine struck
the motor car in which she was rid
ing. Her 17-year-old sister, Augusta
Brand of Greenfield, Mo-, was fatally
injured. The Brand sisters we're rid
ing in the rear seat Of car belong
ing to their uncle. E. G. Brand Brand
did not see the engine, which was
running twenty-five miles an hour,
until 1t was SO near that he was I'M
able to stop his car before it reached
the track. 1t came to full stop on
the track and was struck. Miss Flora
Brands false hair became entangled
in the engines driver and was pulled
from her head.
IF the driver had caught my own
hair know my head would have been
pulled under the Wheels" she said.
