BY BIG BL.AK RAMt

A CATAPULT.

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

Thlolt was so great and unex

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

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

he didn't get up. And he never dida

The black ram's last smash had bro- h

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. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

A Lesson for Diplomats.
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..

Jinks-Do you know, I was we

Blinks-I see. Just like a patent
medicine: "Well shaken before taken.''

The greatest glory of a free-born

Mr. Fitz-Doctor, I'm subject to vio

that I survive them.
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.

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Has Drawn is
Not Without Some Points of
Worthiness.
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. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner; in cold
no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, no
hands to fan her. She is a lesson In
herself-a fruit for daily picking. Just
spare the world your trouble tales and
scratch the useless klcking.-G. S., In
