On Wednesday of last week, large
bear came within few rods of the
house of Mr. Giles Hubbard, on the
Green Bay road, trying to get at a
flock CT sheep in the pasture, and but
for the gun in the hands of Mr.. Hub
bard missing fire, would probably have
been killed. AS it was the bear es-
capped to the woods, and there being
no dog on the premises, chase would
have been futile.

Monday last was Labor day--a legal
holiday and foolish one. We should
next have bookkeepers' holiday, then
clerks holiday, then office holders
holiday and so on ad infinitum until
the 365 days would be given up to
the holiday business. We have more
holidays now than necessary. But
then a fool legislature could not be
expected to do aught else than pass
fool laws.

julie Nelson has a cabin on the
banks of the Manitowoc river near the
rice beds which is fitted out with ev-
erything necessary for camping. The
place doesn't belong to julie, at all,
where he is accompanied by party OF
friends. He wants them to feel that
the whole thing is theirs and they take
him at his word. julie seems to derive
more pleasure from giving pleasure
to others than he does in killing ducks.
No man who hunts can enter the
kingdom of heaven because of his rec
ord as a duck killer Vic Klingholz
would be even barred out of the
other place" because he will lie in
favor of the other fellows as well as
in his own behalf. DR.. Henry and julie
Nelson, with the editor of The Pilot
as a sort of man Friday, were the only
persons who brought home ducks at
the close of last week in such num-
bers that they begged for people to
utilize the surplus. Dan Bleser and
his gang shot lot, but they couldn't
find them. Westphal and his crowd
were likewise lucky in killing and un-
lucky in bagging the game. Klingholz
depopulated the river and brought
home a hell-diver. Markham and 10.
Edwards saw heap of ducks and per
mitted them to remain in the cane
brakes. They all tell big things but
the "Jule Nelson crowd" brought home
19 ducks and supplied the whole
neighborhood. Boys, quit lying and
shoot ducks.

when the rope holding the hammer

fingers of his right hand so badly that
amputation was necessary. DR.. Easton

fortunate man is doing as well as can
be expected. He has a wife and six
