UGE BEAR KILED BY BIG BL.AK RAMt GUARDIAN OF FLOCK LANDS ON BRUIN LIKE A ROCK FROM A CATAPULT. iNTRtDER'S NECK IS BROKEN Knocked Out Completely in Three -T Rounds While the Owner of the Ram, With Loaded Gun, Looks On lb Utter Amazement. Harrisburg, Pa.-"Whether or not th'e bear that 'was an eyewitness of the killing of another bear by Farmer Peter Moreley's big black ram went off and some way. carried the news to bears in general, as Farmer More ly firmly believes ft did," said Colonel Parker of Cameron county, "so that from that time until the death of the i ram not long ago no bear had ven tured to trespass on the Morely farm. "A monstrous big bear had been for sometime devoting himself to thinning out the Morely sheep flock, and after he had killed three of the sheep the hired man was detailed to stand guard over the pasture, armed with a double-barreled shotgun loaded heav ily with buckshot and with orders to give Bruin both Jarrels the instant he stuck his nose in among the sheep. On the forenoon of the fourth day, the confident guardian of the flock was startled to see the bear scramble over the stone wall only a few feet from where he was standing sentinel. Bruin put forward such a ferocious front that the hired man dropped the gun, took the wall at one leap and ran with news of the bear's new invasion to Farmer Morely. "Farmer Morely hastened to the pas ture lot. All the sheep had fled to a far corner of the field, except the big black ram. "Without delay Farmer Morely picked up the gun, and as- he did so he saw in the edge of the brush on the outside of the field another bear standing there as If taking note of what might happen in the pasiure be fore he ventured to come over into it himself and take a paw in collecting some muktton. Neither bear was within good gunshot and Farmer Morely, dis concerted a moment by the fact that there Yvere two bears to deal with, started 'to draw closer. "Thefte being mutton more choice f than th black ram to be had in 'the t flock, bear in the field paid no at- a tention to him, but was passing on by . Shuffling contemP iously I along, got in range of , and d just th the ' tohave made UP his msreent that con empt a( well ss the intrusion. Ta o~rward, he leaped in the h~idhimself like a cata 'the bear. Thlolt was so great and unex pected that the bear went diown before it like a lump of lead. The wind had been so thoroughly knocked out of him that he lay there almost long enough to have taken the count, with the ram, now mad all the way through, stand-t ing ready to land again If he got the .Bout Between Ram and Bear. chance. The bear scrambled to his feet by and by and gazed in wild sur prise at the ram. Farmer Morely him- < self had stopped in amazement, and he saw that the bear at the edge of the brush lot had risen on his hind 4 feet as if to get a better view of the battle, and the farmer says that as- f tonishment stuck out all over him. The bear In the pasture didn't have time to figure out what had happened I to him, for the black ram landed on c him again, and down he went., "The bear in the bush now danced about all excited, Farmer Morely said, and the farmer hurried on again to get in %ure gunshot of the one the ram was pounding, but he needn't have s been anxious. The bear hadn't got all t the way to his feet the second time C when the ram hit him again. This i: time the blow fell square on the bear's z neck. The ram stood ready to give b It to him again when he got up, but fI he didn't get up. And he never dida get up. When Farmer Morely ar rived he saw that the bear was dead. 1 The black ram's last smash had bro- h ken his neck, killing the big intruder,a doubtless instantly.b RESCUED JUST IN TIME FROM THE QUICKSAND IAN STRUGGLES FOR TWO HOURS IN TREACHEROUS SLIME WHICH ENGULFED HIM. White Plains, N. Y.-Gilbert Ste )hens is under the care of physicians Lt his home in Silver Lake Park, and nay be weeks in recovering from the .hock of a long battle with death in iuicksand recently. Stephens had aken a short cut homeward and tumbled into a depression which'was ormerly the bed of a small lake. The lace is widely known as spotted with langerous quicksands and Stephens 'ound himself in the grip of one of hem. The more he struggled to get >ut the deeper he went in. For two iours he shouted for help, until finally 113 voice was silenced by the mud, rhich rose about his shoulders and ressed on his lungs so that he could )arely breathe. The quicksand -eached his chin and was pulling him lowly but surely to death by suffoca Ion. William Piscule, a town con itable, who was out duck shooting, taw him and went running to his res ue. Piscule hurriedly picked up an Trapped in Quicksand. Lrmful of brush and several boards rom a fence, which he threw out on op of the quicksand. This gave him foothold and he reached down to tephens. tying the straps of his gun ag beneath the helpless man's shoul ers. Then, after a long struggle, he ragged the prisoner out and laid him own, exhausted. ~EW MAN UP INSIDE A MULE eorgia Jokers Treat a Comrade to an Experience Similar to That of Jonah. Young Harris, Ga.-Bart Brown of um Log, recently emerged from the tnusual experience of being sewed up !x hours in a mule's carcass. Brown and several companions were vending their way homeward down he country road. The "going" was oo heavy for Brown. He collapsed by* he roadside, near the carcass of "old iumpback," a mule that had carried he mail to and from Brasstown for nany years, but died several hours be ore Brown and his companions came long. Brown's companions stowed him tway clumsily in the mule's carcass, titching up the hide with strings so he man inside could get air. The leepng man finally awoke' and be ~an to scream. Several people pass ng along the road heard the screams, nade sure that they came from the sody of an apparently dead mule, and hen ran for their lives. Finally two nen, braver than the rest, were at racted by Brown's cries, examined he dead mule, cut the stitches and ulled Brown, covered with blood, but erfectly sober and badly frightened, ut. Brown at first threatened a court uit, but finally compromised by nounting the water wagon. Men Doomed to Freeze. Washington.-Men will freeze to leath on the equator millions of years ience, according to Dr. Harvey W. Niley, who forsook the subject of ~erms in food, in addressing the Secu ar league in Washington, and dis ussed the question. "Is man ultimate y to starve or freeze?'' Doctor Wiley said he believed the ~arth was slowly cooling, and that the eople of the distant future must reeze, though he declared that for "a ililion years. at least," humanity vould not suffer from lack of food or ul. In the frigid days to come, ac ording to Doctor Wiley, the winds il serve as fuel. Bulldog Beheads a Spaniel. Logansport, Ind.-When a small toy paniel rushed into t'e street and at acked "Jack," --. brindle bulldog wned by Allen Nelson, it looked as lthe toy dog had "lost his head." A aoment later he had literally lost his ead, for Jack resented a nip on the ank by turning on his little assail t. The little dog's head was grabbed y the bulldog and when the spaniel ad been decapitated the bulldog ran ter his master's buggy, carrying thg eand na trophy. MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW Conditions Are Only Different, No Matter What Sentimental * Writers May Assert. The "popular" writer who bewails what he assumes to be the' fact that the "old-fashioned" mother is no more is liable to defeat his own purpose if that be inculcating in children the highest possible regard for their pa rents. It is a danger which even the quantitative theory of literature or space rates cannqt justify. The mother of the past, of course, was different from the mother of the present, as different on the whole as the conditions of life then and now, but since her daughter is the mother of the present there must be some points of similarity. All the good in our mothers and grandmothers cer tainly could not have vaniihed. It will be paying scant tribute- to those dear, good women who have laid down their precepts and examples and passed on to say so. And, of course; this writer does not mean to do that, yet he comes very near doing what het does not intend. The fallacy of the whole sentimen tal notjon that because things and people are not like they used to be they are not as good, lies in the pat ent fact that they cannot be alike, and if they were it would simply be be cause of the present generatin being so much inferior to the past that it was unable to do no more than stand still. SKIN TORTURED BABIES SLEEP AND MOTHERS REST A warm bath with Cuticura Soap, followed by a gentle anointing with Cuticura ointment, is generally suffi cient to afford immediate comfort in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly eczemas, rashes, ir ritations and inflammations of in fants and children, permit sleep for child and rest for parent, and point to permanent relief, when other methods fail. Peace falls upon distracted households when these pure, sweet and gentle emollients enter. No other treatment costs so little and does so much 'for skin sufferers, from infancy to age.

Elihu Root, at /the luncheon In Providence preceding the dedication of the John Hay Memorial library at Brown university, said of John Hay: "His diplomacy was gracious, and it was prudent as well. I remember in an argument about a certain inter national complication, how very warmly and aptly he once insisted on prudence. "It was the Christmas season, and he said that we might learn a lesson from a little girl who was naughty in the early part of December. "'Bear me,' her mother said, 'if you're going to be naughty I'm very much afraid Santa Claus won't bring you any presents.' "The little girl frowned. "*'Well,' she whispered, 'you needn't say it so near the chimney.' " -Children's Food. Certain littl'e suggestions are always to be followed when planning the diet of the little ones. To keep healthy little stomachs in the nursery never serve hot stewed fruit to the children. Plenty of stewed* fruit and baked ap ples they should eat, but they must invariably be cooked the day before and dished up cold. The nursery po tatoes should always be baked or boiled in their jackets. Stewed and fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with out their skins supply starch, with a loss of all the wholesome potash salts that the skin gives out during the process of cooking into the white part of the vegetable. ,A Deadly Error. Dr. W. B. Cannon of Harvard, dis cussing anti-vivisection literature at a dinner in Ne'w York, said with a smile: "T-his literature, in part, at least, is as flagrantly erroneous as the medical department conducted by a young col lege girl in a weekly paper. A sam ple reply in this department ran: "'Bereaved.-The reply given last week was a mistake, it should have been ten drops of laudanum, not ten cups of laudanum. Yes, we advocate cremation rather than the old-fash ioned burial.'" Remarkable Dental Freak. An unusual case is reported from Parkes, N. S. W., where a young wom an some time ago had 17 teeth ex tracted which were causing her trou ble. Before the gums had sufficiently healed to permit of artificial teeth be ing fitted, new teeth began to make their appearance, and every one of the 17 has now been replaced in this man ner..

Doctor-You sort of wonder at the survival of the fittest, eh? The Shadow of Science. It Is bard to believe that a shadow is probably the origin of all astronom ical, geometrical and geographical science. The first man who fixed his staff perpendicularly In the ground and measured its shadow was the earliest computer of time, and the Arab of today who plants his spear in the sand and marks where the shadow falls is his direct descendant It is from the shadow of a gnomon that the early Egyptians told the length of the year. It Is from the shadow of a gnomon that the Inhabitants of Up per Egypt still measure the hours of work for a- water wheel. In this case the gnomon is a lhurra stalk support ed on forked uprights and points north and south. East and west are pegs in the ground, evenly marking the space of earth between sunrise and sunset. In a land of constant sun shine a shadow was the primitive chronometer. It was also the primi tive foot rule. Just Shopping. A fashionably dressed young wom an entered the post office in a large western city, hesitated a moment, and stepped up to the stamp window. The stamp clerk looked up expectaUtly, and she asked: "Do you sell stamps here?" The clerk answered politely, "Yes." "I would like to see some, please," was the unusual request The clerk dazedly handed out a large sheet of the two-cent variety, which they young woman carefully ex amined. Pointing to one near the cen ter, she said, "I will take this one, please."-Everybody's. Hand Beats Machine. Cigars are still made by hand, no machine having yet been Invented that will roll them so nicely and evenly as do deft human fingers. The cheap est cigars-the three-for-five variety are made of French, Kentucky, Alge rian or Hungarian leaves. At the other extreme are the cigars smoked by the czar of Russia, which are of the choic est and best matured Havana, and which cost $1.50 each. Cat's Tigerish Nature. A shocking affair In which a domes tic cat displayed tigerish qualities oc curred at Ayr recently. A woman named Mrs. John Scott had occasion to go on a message and left a child, six weeks old, in the house. On her return she was horrified to discover that the cat had eaten the small fin ger of the child's left hand, and had commenced on the next finger.

Miss Venus is a lovely girl; not one time has she muttered; against her pale, Illumined life not one word has she uttered. Just think, she's been without her arms for many dusty ages, and yet she never drops the brine or rants in hopeless rages. She has to stand a bunch of guff from art bugs down to draymen, and yet she never once comes back and grills the heathen layman. When some low brow of brutal mien starts merrily to panning and says her face is worse than wood and that her hair needs 'canning, or that he has a waitress friend who jerks a coffee jigger could give her many, many leagues and beat her out on figger, she never even looks at him, that rank untptored sin ner, but holds her tongue and pe4es tal, 0, Venus is a winner. She's on the job both day and night, she bears man knock or flatter and women not of classic mold get madder than a hatter.
