MRS. GEORGE HORACE LORIMER,
N'Awho is the mother" of the Independ-

me the dearest note which had been
sent to her.
The letter is so sweet, I think I'll pass 1t
on to you before giving it back to Mrs
Lorimer. 1t says:

retired life, but intensely interested in

MacLean Highlanders to Wear
Ancient Costume.

NEW YORK. July 3.-The Mac.
Lean Highlanders regiment soon
will go into battle wearing their
gorgeous seven color plaid kf1ties,
which they haven't worn in war
since l7O5. They hadn't been on &C
tive duty for 200 years and when
they did go out at the beginning OF
the war. they had TO be content with
six-coloF plaids. The seventh color
was obtainable in this age OF aniIines
only from a dye made in Germany.
But on its last trip over the

necessary dye. and some OF Il made

DESTRUCTIVE BEARS
KEEP FARMERS BUSY
Kill Sheep and Cows in Three
Pennsylvania Counties.

SMETHPORT. Pa. July 3.-Many
farmers in Mexican, Elk. Potter and
adjoining counties are up in arms
against bears. as the result OF the
large number OF sheep and young
cattle which have been killed during
the last few weeks and they are de-
handing an open season for killing
bruins.
Not in ten years have bears been,
so plentiful as they are at present
and many OF the farmer have suf-
fered heavy losses by their attacks,
which have been coming both night
and day.
One of the heaviest losers is Will
liam Thompson, who lives in Lyman
Run. Potter county. A few days ago
bears made an attack on his flock
and killed twenty-eight sheep, which
represented over half the flock. The
bears devoured portions Of many OF
the sheep, while others were not
touched after being killed.
In the farming district near this
city. where hundreds of sheep were
killed last year, the toll has again
been heavy this year and in addition
q large number OF bees have been
killed and the honey devoured. The
success OF the bears in evading hun
tiers during the hunting season was
big disappointment TO the farmers.
Last season was the poorest in ten
years for the bear hunters in this
section OF the State, in spite OF the
fact that bears were seen in large
numbers before the season opened.
The farmers are of the opinion
that the only hope they have OF saw
ing their sheep Is TO have an open
season declared which would permit
the killing OF bears twelve months in
the year. and an effort will undoubt-
edly be made to have such a bill
passed before another year rolls
around.
