This Bear Story
Comes from N. H.

The following thrilling story Of a
bear fight is from the Fab River Line
Journal:
In a barn adjacent to a sheepfold,
early last September, John Ghesley
and Ray Whitaker. farmers of Jack
son, y. H., lay in wait for six nights
for bear whose fondness for NUT
ton caused him TO make raids upon
the floeks of Chesley and Clifford Rob-
erts. his neighbor.
Bruin carried away four sheep from
the Roberts farm. After suffering this
loss MIR. Roberts drove the sheep to a
barn. The bear, whose appetite for
fresh mutton was sharpened by the
remembrance of his previous visit,
then turned his attention to the flock
of John ChesIey, which had been left
in the barnyard. In the course of a
week Mr.. Bear carried off three fat
sheep from the Chesley fold.
Then Chesley and his neighbor de-
eided that the bear Should pay for his
meals
with a shot gun and rifle, they
took up position in the barn over
looking the shcepfold. For six nights
they waited patiently On the seventh
night, Whitaker, who was on watch.
saw Mr.. Bear approach. He circled
the sheepfold twice, shifting through
the creviees. The sheep scented the
approach of their enemy and huddled
up in corner.
The bear was a big fellow but he
leaped the barrier and landed inside,
lightly as q cat. Then Whitaker fired.
The first charge of buckshot struck
him broadside In quick succession,
five other charges We're pumped into
him, but they seemed to have no other
effect than to cause him to dance
aronnd the enclosure.
Then Chesley. armed only with IL
canthook, tried to finish him with
that weapon. but the bear drove him
away. He barely had time to get back
into the barn and slam. the door.
"Chesley then took his rifle and,
aiming as best he could in the dark
ness, fired once. The bullet went
straight to Bruins heart. The brute
toppled oyer dead.
THE next morning, both farmers
loaded their trophy in a cart and
proudly drove into jackson. The news
had preceded them, and their entry
into the village was. in the. NATURE 81

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR.
By Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair,

The old idea OF using Sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
IN vogue. Our grandmothers had
dark, glossy hair at seventy-five,
while our mothers are gray before
they are fifty. Our grandmotherc
kept their hair soft and glossy with
I Sage Tea" which also restored
he natural color.
One objection to using such prep
lration was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome b.
the Wyeth Chemical Company OF
New York. who has placed on the
market superior preparation of
Sage, combined with Sulphur and
1ther valuable remedies for dandruff
itching scalp. and thin, weak, falling
hair. The beauty of the hair de-
bends more on its rich. even shading
than anything else. Don't have dry,
harsh faded hair, when a simple,
harmless remedy will bring back the
color In few days; and don't be tor
mented with dandruff. itching scalp
and loose, falling hairs. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy will
quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to
your hair.

Debts consist of pile of bills in
the mail box and a collector arounal
the corner. They are the money
which a man is going to pay next
week. hut unfortunately this week
always insists on coming in next
weeks place, .
Debt is very unfortunate because
ii generally makes two men un-
happy--the man who owes the money
and the man who can't get it. Some
dabts. however. only make the for
mer unhappy because OF the blithe
and hopeful disposition of the
debtor who declines to add TO the
solemnity of the occasion by worry
ing. Many man can carry a load
of many thousands of dollars Of
debts without giving them n
thought and will even cheer up his
gloomIest creditors by buying them
fine cigars-on tick.
Debt is a great misfortune to
some men who shudder when they
spend a nickel for bread because it
belongs 10 the man who sold them
last years heefsteak. To other men
debt is only an annoyance and they
speak harshly to the patient collec.
tors who insist on both nring them.
To still others debt Is an asset. Some
men are such financial geniuses that
they can use $500 worth of bills 10
obtain $500 additional credit. The
difference between mediocrity and
genius is shown by the fact that
while some men grow shabby and
wither away under Sl00 of debts
other men are ablg u a cumulate
81 100000 of obi cations and to
live handsomely on the proceeds.
Debts grow faster than anything
else on earth. Give a debt a $40
