The Portland Press now comes for
ward with modest little story that
VIII rival the tales of the Enfield jack
knife deer-slayer and the Bradley
sleeping bear hunter. Says the Press:
Harold Stafford of Kingfield had an
exciting encounter d few days ago
with large bear at Dead river where
he Is passing the winter. He was out
looking for spruce gum and had along
22-riflc. He heard noise and think
ing it was small game hid behind a
knoll to await developments. When
the animal go> pretty near he looked
over and saw a large bear standing on
his hind legs and shifting. The bear
turned about to run and Stafford fired
twice both shots taking effect, when
Rruin faced about, rose upon his hind
legs and opened his mouth. Before
he decided to retreat Mr. Stafford
fired six shots into his mouth. The
bear walked off coughing
The bear is passing the winter at
Dead river, no doubt, but it is to be
supposed that Stafford was the one
who was hunting gum with a long %
rifle which he had along" Who hid
behind a small knoll is not to be sup
posed, but for the sake of argument,
guess that it was the bear VINO hid
But this cannot be, for "wnen the
animal got pretty near he looked over
and saw a large bear standing on his
hind legs and shifting" One can pic
ture the large bear standing on his
sniffirg all right but the story appar-
entity does not include two bears. 1t
must be re-supposed. therefore, that
Stafford hid behind a knoll to wait
for the noise which he thought was
small game. When Stafford saw the
bear turn to run, he fired four shots
C"Twice Both'') which took effect. 1t
was after firing six shots into the
bears mouth that Stafford decided to
retreat; the bear was coughing and
perhaps Stafford had cold feet him.
self If the story is true the bear is
probably now in the woods still

The Pittston correspondent Of the
Journal gives the following explanation
Of the recent appearance of a snow
goose in the State House museum:
Some years ago pair of snow geese
we're known to be in Maine The first
time that geese of this variety were
ever known to come into this State.
The snow goose is found in all tho
regions within the Arctic circle but
most abundantly in America where i.
migrates southwark in winter as far
as the Gulf Of Mexico. Later the
whereabouts of these pair became
mystery to some who were interested.
1t was reported enormously that one
had been presented to the Bowdoin
College museum. This one was really
in possession of C. B. Day of Rich
mond who shot it and had it mounted.
At about the same time Mr.. Day shot
this one A. E. Lord Of PittSton shot
the mate in Merrymeeting bay in
September He had his specimen
mounted and has had it on his desk IN
his store in a conspicuous place. A

1t is said that one coal mine in
Maine is turning out we'll and is not
for sale. Rumor says that a woman
who had been told that coal would
burn better and last longer if wet,
turned the hose on her coal bin, with
the result that the cold snap arrived
before the water drained off and she
and all the rest of the family had to
go to work mining out that coal-or
freeze to death in their own home.

In 1914 just one hundred years
ago, James Harrington, father ii
Charles B. Harrington of Bath, being
at that time captain of a privateer,
carried the news of peace between
England and the United States into
Liverpool, n. S. He took a prize that
day and the captain of the captured
vessel informed him that peace was
declared between the two nations, so
Capt. Harrington gave up the prize
and rushed for home with the joyous
news and had the happiness of notify
ing his people.

PLUM PUDDING.

The climax of the Christmas dinner is the
plum pudding the king OF all desserts. In olden
times it used to be carried by the cook, around
the table, the wine alight around IT, sending out
delicious odors, and the flame and holly dccora
tons that were its accompaniment were part and
parcel OF the joyous Nulctide feast. Why not
preserve this good old custom on this one day
and hold high above Our heads the timc-honored
pudding Of our English ioreiathers, for it was
in their kitchens this dish was first concoctedi
Plum pudding can and should be made two or
three weeks before Christmas day for its flavor
is improved by age However, It may be pre-
pared the day before Christmas, cooked on that
morning and II il is not all consumed it will last
for many dinners in the days and weeks follow
ing Christmas. Keep il alright, however, wrap
ped in a thin, dry cloth, placed in a tin box.
The careful housewife prepares her citron,

her pudding and she always provides the best
