A black bear, probably the larg
est seen in this section of the state
for a number of years, was found
dead in the dense woods near Proc
tor last week by a party of men.
From careful estimation it is be
lieved that the animal would have
tipped the scales at over 400
pounds. It was pronounced the
greatest black bear ever seen by
people in the vicinity of Proctor.
. The bear had been wounded by
some hunter but escaped at the
time. When found its carcass was
too badly decomposed to be of any
use.

over a year ago by a falling pulley
and he has since undergone a
number of operations, all the bones
in the back of his hand being
crushed. They were substituted
by chicken bones and this last op

The wNe ladies anil gentlemen ol
the land are just now discussing the
subject of trial marriages. The plan
contemplates a sort of pre-nuptial
probation during which the pros
pcctive bride and groom get togeth
er on more serious and intimate
planes than they do during our for
mal engagement period. The why
or the wherefore of the change we
know not. Hut we do know that if
this trial marriage scheme would
ever receive the sanction of the
church or the state most ofthe shift
less young fellows of the country
would be boarding with the parents
of the silly girls of the land and we
would have to put crepe on that
beautiful song of content "Every
body works but father."

Secretary (Joorge R. Drake of the
New Hampshire state grange, being
asked by the editor of this department
Cor an opinion on this subject, said: "It
is my deeiileil opinion that it Is better
to pay the actual traveling expenses
of the delegates in attendance at the
state grange, but it dons not seem best
to pay their expenses for board.
"'The New Hampshire state grange
officers, the forty deputies and the
masters and tuelr wives or husbands of
each snbsordinate and Pomona grange
In the state draw pay from the state
'range for the actual amount of car
ami fare, and each is paid $1.25
per day for tlio time In actual attend
ance at the meeting.
"The committee on mileage and per
diem can easily make tip the expense
account of the session from the printed
list of railroad rates always at hand,
which Is 1 cent a mile for the round
trip. By paying each delegate and le
fial attendant at the session a specified
sum we avoid any complications and
very much simplify any delicate ques
tions that might arise concerning any
extravagant board bills."
Tli«? Grannf «nd Tempera nee.
The question occasionally arises In
grange communities as to what the
position of the grange is concerning
temperance. At the last meeting of the
national grange the following resolu
lou was adopted:
Resolved. That the grange hereby re
lews its fealty to temperance in all
hlngs; that it emphasizes Its belief that
he degrading American saloon ought to
ie carefully and rigorously guarded until
t can be abolished and In ths meantime
>e made and held to a strict responsibility
or the harm it does, and that It believes
hnl every community should be empow
ered by law to vote every saloon from Its
nldst or borders.
