The ForkB, Sic The fourth mnn to be tackled by n bear In the woods pear here recently was Wallace Dur gln, who had his adventure the other day, near his father's house. Durgln bad his rifle close at hand and ho made short work of despatching the brute, but this was not the luck of Ernest Gubtll of New Vineyard. Gub Ul had been hunting for moose for two weeks. Ho dropped a fine buck, and then placed his rifle against a tree and began the work of dressing the carcass. Tho hunter, knife in hand, was nt work when suddenly he received a blow on the left side which sent him to the ground half stunned. Gubtll then found himself grappling with a black bear, which, when cold that evening, weighed 4C0 pounds. By moans of rollings and tumbling, kicking at the bear and warding off nttempta to grapple. Gubtll finally, with the blood streaming from two dozen bad scratches, reached his rille. By exerting all his remaining strength Bubtil dropped the muzzle against the bear's breast as the brute rose, and, with the trigger close against his left hip, pulled. The expansion bullet killed the bear almost instantly. At the moment of the discharge the bear was making a blow for Gubtil's face, but tho claws dragged against his shoulder. Gubtll was found weak from the loss of blood and unable to proceed to camp, but Horace Adams, the hunt er and trapper, heard his call nearly 100 yards away. Gubtll was taken to the farm and a Dr. Billiard of New York attended him. Horace Adams has killed fourteen bear this fall, others have killed In nil eleven. The local hunters never know bears to be so lerocious before and the reason for It Is ascribed to the lack of wild berries. NO CHARGE IN THIS HOTEL.

HCSQKEN BABIES UP IN ARMS What May Happen If Others Follow Example of Hamburg-American Line Caputo'B Parents. Hohoken, N J. The announce ment in a Hobokcn paper that Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cnputo have nnmed their baby Hamburg-American Lino because the father works for that com pany hns thoroughly stirred up Hobo kcn babies to the necessity of taking some action ngalnst tho infliction on them of similar names by their par cuts. A superficial study of the situation laid bare by the case of young Ham-burg-Amerlcnn Lino Cnputo shows to what danger the babies of Hoboken are exposed if the landmarks of tho city's water front exorcise such fatal InPuence on their pnrents. Among the names which a Hobokcn baby may find Itself condemned to bear through life are these: , Norddeutscher Lloyd Mueller. Christopher Street Ferry Leber wurst. Hudson Tunnels Schultze. Steamer Parties Accommodated Schwartz. Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Pumpernickel. Kaiser Wllhelm der Gross Schlllere. This Car For Union Hill Schmidt. This Way To Trains Bummelvogel. Exit Only Donnerblltz. Hot Free Lunch To-day Huber. The trouble Is, most of the Hoboken babies can't protest becnuso they don't know how to talk and can't tako steps because they don't know how to walk. FINDS COIN IN STEEL TUBE. Sliver, Gold and Greenbacks to the Amount of a Thousand Dollars. Blaze, Ky. While breaking away the point of a small sand rock cliff to facilitate the binding of saw logs near the mouth of Blackwater Creek, In Morgan county, Kentucky, Mr. Wil liam Cox found a steel cylinder filled with silver, greenbacks and gold coin. Mr. Cox refuses to disclose the ex act amount of money the can contain ed, but It is known to have been In the neighborhood of a thousand dol lars. The coins were of very old dates and the paper money of old Issues. The silver was In the bottom, the paper money in the middle and the gold on top. Mr. Cox will surrender the money to any one who will satis factorily describe the money, amount and the receptablo. Beside a lonely forest path, not far from the place the money was found, Is a solitary grave, known as "the soldier's grave." During the civil war two Confederate soldiers, while with a small scouting party, quarreled, and at the point where the grave is, fought and one whs killed. It is be lieved that the soldier who killed his comrade knew the money was con cealed, killed him with the intention of getting it, but afterward could nev er find the exact spot.

Tax on False Hair and Wigs. Paris. Franco needs MO.000.000 to balance her budget and does not know what she can tax to get it. It has been suggested to the Minister o! Finance that he tax wigs and false hair. The amount of artificial hair worn by Frenchwomen in their coif fures Is enormous.

' In France The Hunt Truffles and I Draw the Plow. Owing to its obstinacy nnd seem ing stupidity tho pig Is usunlly classed among the dull animals. This, how ever, Is not a Just estimate of its In telligence "Learned" pigs that could pick out letters of the alphnbet have been exhibited r.t fairs. Throw a pig Into deep wnter, and It will bpgln BWlmmlng ashore at once, which Is more thnn most men arc able to do. In France they have been trained to hunt for truffles (which are hidden underground) nnd to draw the plow. Thoy have even been taught to act as pointers. In most cases they are trained by means of rewnrd for suc cess. In pointing, for example, when they spot tho bird, they drop their tall and cart, ana sink on their knees and do not rise until after tho bird has risen they are rewarded with pud ding. Fear of the Law. The literal strictness of Gorman rules and regulations has always been a matter of amusement to other na tions which do not Insist so rigidly on tho letter of tho law. A writer in the Washington Star recently told a story Illustrating this point. Two men, Schmidt and Krauss, met one morn ing In the park. "Havo you hearu," said Schmidt, "tho sad news about Muller?" "No," said Krauss. "What Is it?" "Well, poor Muller went boating on tho river yesterday. The boat cap sized and ho was drowned. The wa ter was ten feet deep." "But couldn't ho swim?" "Swim? Don't you know that all persons aro strictly lorblddpn by the police to swim-In the river?" Penholders Made from Packing Jox. Both Ingenuity and economy are represented by a practice reported from Calcutta, India. A firm in that city Imports drugs In wooden boxes from the United States and Englnnd. It then works up good material from the packing cases into penholders. Both the city and provincial govern ments buy these products, but tho penholders are said to be rather crude. Labor is si very cheap in In dia that it would be hard to compete with any manufactured article there, but Inexpensive penholders made In large quantities In America might have a chance of selling In that far off land, nevertneiess. A great saving in cost always r;-3Ults from tho use of machinery. Slang in England. Hotten's division of slant' terms for Inebriety would be useful in police courts if fashion did not so quickly change In this respect. Tho following were classified as denoting mild intox ication: Beery, bemused, boozy, bos by, hudy, corned, foggy, fou, fresh, hnzy, elevated, kisky, lushy, niooncy, muggy, muzzy, on, screwed, stewed, tight and winey.

Ballasted with Gold. A section of the Canadian Northern Railway running northwest from Sud bury and crossing at Vermilion river, Is unlquo in that It is ballasted with gold. Every yard of tho gravel used for ballast has been found to contain from CO cents worth to a dollar's worth of tho precious metal, in tho shape of fine dust. Government Runs Bars. In some parts of Russia the bar rooms are run by tho government, ac cording to a recent law. It is tho rule for all males to remove their hats when in. a government building, and It is ludicrous to seo tho patrons of the barrooms standing, hat In hand, while waiting for the barkeepers to serve their toddy. A Sharp Answer. "I am not happy with my husband. Can I get a separation?" asked a lady of a lawyer. "His life is Insured In your favor, Isn't it?" "Yes; I made bm do that before we married." "Well, don't separate. He'll live long er away from you!" Educated to Housework. Housework and marketing Is part of the education of a Belgian girl.

Text: Phlllpplans 1:22-24: ''What I sh.-ll choose I wot not. .For I am In a strait betwixt two having a desire to Jepart, and to be with Christ, which Is iar better; nevertheless, to abide In the flesh Is more needful for you." Tho words of the text remind us of sood Isaac Watts, who said: "Thank Una, I can lie down nt night with no coutern whether I wake In this world or the next." Some people nre world ly, chiefly concerned for things here below. Somo aro other-worldly, hav ing thoughts and nffoctlons set on things above; and such a man was Paul. This thinking about tho future Is by Bomo called "Impracticable star gazing." But Dr. Samuel Johnson orrectly remnrked, that "those who hink most about the next life are the ,jeoplo who best perform the duties of .ills life." First of all, the text speaks of our morality. In saying ho has a desire .o "depart," Paul Is not thinking of roing from one place to another on ho earth, but of going back to mother jarth "earth to earth, dust to dust, iohos to ashes." This is the way we nust all go very soon. King Philip jf Maccdon had a servant whose duty it was to wake the King each morn ug by saying, "Philip, remember thou art mortal." Surely, wo need no such reminder. Wo have enough all around us to impress us that "all flesh Is as grass." Passing through a street of a very healthful mountain town, and seeing a man with a hose washing mud from the wheels of a hearse, I said. "Do you use such things up he'-e?" "Oh, yes," said hp, "we car ried out three yesterday." And that is just what is going on everywhere. The cemeteries are fast receiving the teeming populations of cities, towns, villages and country places. Well may It be said: "Death floats upon every passing breeze. And lurks In every flower; Each season has its own disease, Its peril every hour." Agiiin, the text speaks of our Im morality. Paul has a deslro to de part, "aud to be." He has no thought of ceasinr; to be, when death comes. Death do-is not end all. Wlren "Ino earthly tint Is taken down, its occu pant Willi still exist na a conscious, thinking, alert being. The body Is corruptlbll, it perishes, it dissolves; but there is that within the body which is incorruptible, imperishable and Indissoluble: that which no floods cai drown, yo waters can quench, jio firs consume; which Is destined" to outlive moul tains, firmaments, suns and stars, n prominent city social club has for is motto: "While we livtj we live in clover; When wo Jle, e die all over." Oh, no, we sluftl none of us die "all over." We dien part only. And oven though thevody only Is to die, evon it is to be raised ngaln, and y and by soul and! body shall be re joined, and then iqan in his complete personality shall live on and forever. Further, the texttpoaks of our chief fe'lclty hereafter. tPaul's desire is to depart, and to be "Jvlth Cr-ist." The Bible gives different concaptlons of Heaven, such as a place of rest from toll, release from nersccutlons, free dom from sin mid reunion with friends. But Paul's) favorite Idea of It Is as n place of companionship with Jesus. True, Christ clples hero and now. is with His dls jy His Spirit, but In the herenfter they aro to seo Him In His glorified Immunity, Just as He v.'.ns seen after His Iresurrection and wlion He went up frtnn the slopep of Mount Olivet. Wo Vsay "no home without a mother," and! what a mother Is to a homo, and infl lltoly more. Is Christ to His redee ned ones in Heavon. "When death these moHal eyes shall seal, And still this throbbing heart, Tho rending veil shall JThee reveal, All glorious, as Thoii art." Next, tho text speakfs of the imme dlnteness of this hcfivenly felicity, after death. Paul's expectation Is to depart, and then at ifinco to bo with Christ. The language will admit of no other Interpretation. He gives no intimation of a mldwa.'y station, a half way house, between lho deathbed nnd Heaven. Some people carry very vasuo notions of wmat Is called the "Intermediate state," As there Is an Intermediate time, beftween the body's death and its resurrection, bo there Is an Intermediate degreld of blessedness for Christ's saints, wllo are not to re ceive their full and jllnal recompense of reward until after the general Judg ment; but there is no gloomy abode for the righteous, after this death, where they watt to bob Christ. "To-day thou eh tilt be with Me In paradise," were Jusus' words to the dying thief, and sjuch is the glorious privilege awaltlpja every saint that passes dojtetfflAui valley of the shadow ol 3t vwr . I Sugar In the French Army. In tho French JournnI of Military mnillclno nnd Pharmacy reference Is fade to tho fact that during somo military mnnocuvcrs for threo weeks tho aoldlors were given from CO to IBS grams of sugar, replacing one-half of meat ration of two companies of I'm nch soldiers. Tho sugar was tak hi readily In wlno. wnter or coffee and no digestive disturbances woro noted. Pvc soldiers for threo days took a Irrger amount of sugar, viz., 300 grims, In place of the entire meat ration. Tho author's opinion was to Mio effect that the men were In better ''vilcal condition nnd had more en trance than on their ordinary ration, 1 of which coincides with very many ) ill or similar observations.

Little John Is the voungest of a family of five boys. One day his mother said to him, "O. John, Isn't It too bad I haven't one little girl? I could curl her hair and make such pretty little dresses for her. Don't you wish you were a little girl?" John grunted disgustedly.
