TRAIN STALLED BY BEARS
Half Hour by Bruins-Engi-
neer Has Scare.

Johnsonburg, PA log train on the
Dahoga & Highland railroad was held
up eor half hour by two large black
bears south of Highland.
The log train was moving slowly up
the hillside when Engineer Johnson
discovered the two bears, weighing
about 300 pounds each. standing on
the track few hundred feet ahead of
the train. AS the train approached
the spot they failed to move.
johnson pulled the bell cord, but
the clang Of the bell or the blast of
the whistle failed to brighten the
bruins, who stood and gazed at the ap-
train.
Knowing that it would be impossible
to kill the bears at the speed his
heavy train was moving up the hill, and
fearing an attack If he injured them,
Johnson stopped the train, and badly
frightened, watched the bears for
about half an hour, when they slowly
wandered off into the forests.

ACTS Of HER0|SM To Be REWARDED

In giving the soldier his medal it was
ordered set down In the records that
the reason for the gift was most con-
splcuous gallantry in action"
The Twenty-third infantry went into
a hight at LaPaz, Luzon, Philippine Is
lands. A soldier of the command was
wounded and left on the field. The
spot where the infantryman fell was
commanded by the rifles of the enemy.
Private Shelton saw the plight of his
comrade, and without waiting for or
derS he advanced alone directly into
the open, his appearance being q d.
rect and speedily accepted invitation
for the enemy to concentrate it's fire
upon him. Shelton went on with the
shots playing about him, picked up the
wounded man and carried him back
along path of fire until he was safe
within the lines.
Had Soldiers Soul.
Augustus Valley of the Tenth cav
airy was a cook. He was connected
with Troop f of the Tenth. Augustus
Valley, cook, had soldiers soul. In
the summer of 1881, Troop f was in
the field in pursuit of hostile Apache
Indians. The command arrived at the
Negro mountains, New Next
co, and ran into a large band of the |
hostiles. A sergeant of the troop was
shot by the first fire from the con-
cealed reds and he fell from his horse
at the base of rock, which luckily |
protected him from further fire. The /
troop was compelled to fall back I'M

rock, he knew that If the Indians
moved to either flank they could pick
off the wounded man with their rifles,
and so Cook Valley charged across
the open without waiting any word of
command, and ran along zone of
fierce fire TO the side of the sergeant,
picked him up, brought him back and
dropped him inside the lines. For
that action congress gave this cook

Spartan Sacrifice.
The story of Mrs. A. w. Cook is
that of Spartan sacrifice. Mrs. Cook
has given four sons to her country,
and she is proud, not sad, at this op-
portunity for service. even though she
Is dependent upon them for her sup
port. The sons range in age from
seventeen to twenty-five. They are

camp at Fort Mcpherson. Frank and

houn are enlisted men in Battery A.

Scarcely had the call to the cOlors
been made when the four elder sons
offered their services. A fifth son.
Wallace Cook, aged fourteen years, is
eager for the time to come when he,
too, may serve. Mrs. Cook saws she
hopes to be able to get along very well
without her boys during their absence.
AT any rate, she Is happy to make this
sacrifice for the sake of her country.
She has offered her personal services
to the Savannah branch of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
Another noteworthy example of
Georgia patriotism is that of Mrs. Es-
Their Gaddis of Atlanta, who, after Civ |
