Well, nov, before you laugh, what
would YOU do? A popular Ellsworth
business man was hunting near Beech
Hill pond last Saturday. He was looking
for no bigger game than the timid deer.
Stepping upon a large, fiat rock, and
about to step down the other side, he
came face to face with a big bear.
Had he taken that step down from the
rock, he would have been in the BEARS
arms. The bear rose up on its hind legs,
facing the hunter, and said "whoofi'i
The hunter didn't stop for any further
conversation. He isn't ashamed to admit
that he was never so scared in his LIFE
He turned ana ran. He didn't notice
which way the bear went, but he imsg ined
it was Close behind him, and that he
could feel its hot breath. They say the
hunter didn't stop travelling until he was
safe in Ellsworth. He had breath enoug h
left to tell the story. He hasn't had
much peace since. Speak up now. What
would YOU have done?

SWITCHED FROM DEATH
 BY SENSATIONAL PLEA

 Confronted With Caillaux.

Paris, Sept. 19.-Ann ouncement was made this morning of the post ponement of the execution of Pierre Lenoir, who was tried with Senator Humber and others on a charge of communicating military intelligence to the enemy, and who was to have faced the firing squad at dawn today.

Soon afterWard Major Gromier command CT of the troops at Fort Vincennes, and M. Raux, prefect of police, ar rived, and a firing squad from the 26th Unmounted Chasseurs took up position at 6:10 o'clock. Two auto mobiles left the fort and drove rapid ly toward the execution grounds and men and women going to work, see- ing the soldiers rem arked:
 'It is all over for Len oir." But soon afterWard it was learned that the eXe- cution was delayed for short time.
 The military justice, a party of lawyers and a chaplain went to Le- noir's cell finding the condemned man very calm.
 My father taught me not to fear death," he said, and I shall die cour- ageously. I love France and never betrayed my country"
 Asked if he had any conlmunica- tor to make the party Lenoir re- piled:
 "At the moment of death, I repeat what I have always vainly asked--to be confronted with Joseph Caillaux"
 (Joseph Caillaux, former premier of France, now is under arrest in l,@>~fzi+~I similar 10 that uron winch Lenoir5 was convicted.)
 Lenoir then argued that the action of the court had shown that his case and that of M CailIaux were connect ed. Lonoir's lawyer then demanded that his request to be confronted with M. Caillaux be municated to the under secretary of military jus tice. This was done and the order to postpone the execution was received two hours later.
