CEB LUKE'S FOX DOGS
NOT BUILT FOR BEARS
!! Chasing Famous Howard
County Bruin They Catch a
Goldfish Ball.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LAUREL Md, January 3.-Last nights
light fall of snow will probably be the
undoing of the famous Howard county
brown bear which appeared suddenly New
Year day. scared Uncle Peter White into
fits, upset all I.aurels New Year recep-
a fruitless search through the brambles
armed to the teeth with real guns and
made sport for a holiday that otherwise
would have been dull indeed So far the
bear has been able to eude his pursuers.
but it is quite possible that the white
blanket which now overlays Howard
county will enable dogs and men to find
bruins trail in jiffy.
Not Acquainted With Bars.
The trouble about that frutless bear
hunt has been that none of the Laurel
| dogs have been introduced to a bear and
don't know anything about the bear fam
| ily. They are all boxhounds and every
] now and then would drop the pursuit OF
| the bear for something that smelled like
| a fox. The two most famous dogs in
Howard county belong to Geb Luke, who
| is said to have caned chair that Lafay-
| cite sat In once. Geb is a great hunter,
| and his dogs are long on fox seeming.
The larger dog, Tobe. was shifting
along a hedge in hot pursuit of a trail
yesterday and Lorenzo, the smaller of
! the pair, was running down a clue
along a creek. Geb was coming along
| behind them strong, with a fortyfour
Winchester. when suddenly both dogs
| threw their noses in the air for a mo-
ment. TO an experienced hunter like
Geb that meant but one thing
Dogs Scent Something.
IT'S a bear" he grunted. and at that
moment both dogs went plumb crazy.
There never were two more maniacal
dogs in all the world. They simply
| turned themselves inside out, they
tore through the brambles and yelped
| like lost souls. Geb went foundering
| behind them, and came to place
where the two dogs were fighting each
other. Something had happened. Geb
! examined the place carefully and found
| what the two hounds had scented and
| were fighting for
| 1t wasn't a bear track. 1t was a
Goldfish ball that some one had dropped
from a lunch basket.
| However. Geb says If he ever gets
a sight Of that bear track in todays
| snow he'll show those two fool dogs
how to catch a real live something, by
heck.

 There will be a meeting of the di- rectors of the Business Mems associ- ation next Tuesday evening at the Springs House, with lunch at 6.45. Two important measures will prob ably receive eonsideration-tll,s matter of street sprinkling and the half holi- days. The borough is not yet in shape to take charge of sprinkling. By law an assessment must be laid in Decem- Der for the coming season. This was not done last Decebmer and some ar engagement will have to be made for this summer. Next December it is probable the assessment will be laid and the following season the borough will be in charge. In the matter of half holidays through the summer months, action will probably be favorable, as the plan appeals both to the business men and the employees.

 If it doesn't digest, but lays heavily on your stomach, it has started to ferment.

will save time if you have plenty of
change in your pockets. The board
has decided to install the cas- turn
stile system at all of the outside en-
frances and at a large majority of
those in the grandstand and livestock
pavilion.
1t will be impossible to get through
the gates without dropping the prop
er coin into the stile. There will be
change booths outside at which coins
of the right denominations can be
secured, but the man who has a few
loose quarters and half dollars when
he starts for the fair grounds Will
make better Roadway than the one
who has to line up for change.

Sayings From John BurrouqF1s.

Sayings From John Burroughs.
Nature is not benevolent; nature is
just, gives pound for pound, measure
for measure, makes no exception,
never tempers her DEGREES with mer-
cy or winks at any infringement Of
her laws. And in the end is not this
best? Could the universe be run as
charity or a benevolent institution,
or as a poorhouse of the most ap-
proved pattern? Without this merci-
less justice, this irrefragible law,
where would we have brought up long
ago? 1t is hard gospel; but rocks
are hard, too, yet they form the foun-
dations of the hills. Man introduces
benevolence, mercy, altruism, into
the world, and he pays the price in
his added burdens: and he reaps lis
reward in the vast social and civic
organizations that were impossible
without these things.-Century.
