A "Bear" Story

The usual quietude down on Bridge

night last week by the appearance of a
dark object there. 1t was in the dead of

aroused from peaceful slumbers by very
strange noise. On looking out she saw a
huge black animal and aroused the house.

in the arms of Morpheus that he failed
to respond; so hurry call was put in for
Dan Smith. Dan, ever ready to respond
to calls from those III distress, took his

motion. Arriving there he found young
Frank trembling with fear, but ready for
onslaught and so with lantern in hand the

drew near the game, but hearing grunt
Frank dropped the lantern and made for
the house, leaving Dan to meet the animal
alone, which he did in short time and
found one of John Miners big black hogs
having good feast out of the swill-pail.
1t took the Nichols family, who had been
aroused by the commotion sometime to be
convinced that it was only black pig on
the rampage, but in due time the quietude
of the neighborhood was restored and

A French bacteriologist recently
caught his little son playing with a

ton Of the mixture, carefully analysed
it in his laboratory. He found it
teeming with microbes, but only took
census of the harmful varieties.
He found when he had finished his
labor that the little bit of the "pie"
he dealt with contained the following
germs: Diphtheria, 100000; measles,
2,45O,OO0; smallpox, 100000; lockjaw,
100000; dysentery. 100000; pneu-

He Knows His Folks.

Here are some random observations
of man who has visited and studied
a good many small communities: If
you read your local paper you will
not miss much that is happening
around home. There Is no use saying
that you wish your town had a paper
like one in the other town, for the
other fellow there is saying the same
thing. The man who reads his local
paper thoroughly is usually a pretty
good citizen and has it all over the
fellow who does not. Local papers,
when all is said and done, do more to
uphold the institutions of this state

Crude Methods of Defense.

Pueblo Indians were never warriors,
but In the old days they were subject
to frequent attacks by the wandering
tribes, such as the Apaches and the
Navajos. Therefore many Of the crude
adobe houses were built with port
holes up near the roof, which the oc-
cupants used to defend themselves
from the attackers. Many of these
old HOUSES are still standing, and port
holes are still there, just as they were
years and years ago. OF course they
are all occupied, for no new houses
are built unless there is an absolute
necessity for them
