 You know, of course, that her husband is "bcss" of the army in Ireland. a DO. sition which oblges him and his wife to live a great part of the year in Dublin, and she and the Countess of Aberdeen, the vicerine, don't mix at all well.

 Somewhere up in the woods around Salem. Franklin county, Is bear which certainly deserves it's liberty, having twice been caught in traps, from which 1t cleared itself each time, though at the cost of being seriously crippled. Last week the bear was caught in q trap belonging to Arthur Jones of Sa- lem. It had been caught before, as one of its forefeet had been taken off, and this time 1t released itself by rip ping off eight inches of the same leg. From smaller tracks near by 1t was supposed that the bear was acconpa- nied by one or more cubs.

No Strangers Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general of the United States, takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to go
into one Of the railway mailservice
cars. to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find it an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
II mean to keep you out Of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. That
fellow Hitchcock has given us strict
orders to keep all strangers out of
these cars" Popular Magazine.

he was dead but when he had been
carried to the hospital he was found
to be living.
NO event since the throwing of the
bomb at the carriage of King Al
fonso on May 81, 1906, while the king
was returning from the church after

CONSERVATION and such public SYM
pathy.
SO far as can be learned at pres
ent, the assassination seems to be in
no way part OF widespread political
plot or revolutionary movement, but
an Isolated crime for which the exact
motives remain obscure. The assas,
sin, who was of Spanish birth, came
recently from BuenOs Ayres, by way
OF Paris, Practically nothing is

The king has appointed the for.
eign minister, Marquis Manuel Garcia

into the window of book shop.

About an hour later his uncon-

stopped for a moment at the shop
window a man darted from nearby
doorway. He ran up behind the pre-
mier and fired four shots at close
range. Three bullets, as it was after,

was passing at the moment rushed
