FOLLYOFAWISEBEAR THE CRAVINGS OF HIS SWEET TOOTH LED TO HIS DOWNFALL. He Got Drunk on Si Thompson's Rum and Molasses, and Si Killed Him—Tom Meserve Gives a New York Sportsman a Dissertation on Bears. To the ears of the New York sportsman and Tom Meserve, his guide, lying on the bed of evergreen boughs in camp on the shore of Moosehead lake, came the scream of a bear somewhere off in the dark forest. It was a queer sound that was much like the shrill call of dJ-n-n-e-r, with a rising inflection at the end, with which New England farm wives summon the men from the field to the noonday meal. It was repeated several times at intervals and came each time from nearer the camp. The guide put up and went out to the maple grove a few rods away, took down from a lamb the buck that was hanging there, clogged it nearer the camp and hung it up to a tree within plain sight of the doorway. "When we know that a bear is prowling round, it is well to have our venison where we can see it," he said. "He won't come so near the camp, but if we left the meat out among the maples he'd be apt to spoil some of it before morning. A bear is a hungry creature and will eat about everything, from honey to carrion—a stale salt mackerel will draw one farther than anything else—but he is shy about coming around camps where people are. You'll see that this one will come near enough to find that there are people here, and then will go away." The New Yorker was for going out to try a shot at the bear, but the guide told him that it was of no use. "He won't come into view anyway," he said, "and if you show yourself at the door he'll not come within rifle shot. Remember that he can see in the dark, but unless you should get a glimpse of his eyes you couldn't distinguish him among the shadows five steps away. Just listen, and we may hear him." The New York man lay down again upon the boughs. The scream came once again close at hand and after that was heard no more. Presently the guide lifted his head and signaled the New Yorker that he should listen. There was a sound of crackling twigs and rustling bushes somewhere outside the open space in front of the camp, but no noise THE MOHAMMEDANS. The Queer Manner In Which They Mis Up Religion and Murder. The month of Ramadan, in which the first part of the Koran is said to have been revealed, is observed as a fast by all Mohammedans. The fast extends over the whole "month of raging heat" and involves extraordinary self denial and self control. No food or drink of any kind may be taken from daybreak until the appearance of the stars at nightfall. The rigor with which a Mohammedan observes this fast and the great gulf between its observance and obedience to the moral code are both illustrated by a story told in the life of one of the heroes of India, Major John Nicholson. While Nicholson in 1854 was deputy commissioner in Bannu, a native killed his brother and was arrested. He was brought before Nicholson on a very hot evening, looking parched and exhausted, for he had walked many miles, and it was the month of Ramadan. "Why," exclaimed Nicholson, "is it possible that you have walked in fasting on a day like this?" "Thank God," answered the Banuchi, "I am a good faster." "Why did you kill your brother?" "I saw a fowl killed last night, and the sight of the blood put the devil into me." "He had chopped up his brother, stood a long chase and been marched in here, but he was keeping the fast," wrote the commissioner to a friend, that he might know what sort of blood-thirsty and bigoted people he, Nicholson, had to govern. One day a wretched little child was brought before the commissioner. He had been ordered by his relatives of the Waziri tribe to poison food. "Don't you know it is wrong to kill people?" asked Nicholson. "I know it is wrong to kill with a knife or a sword," answered the child. "Why?" "Because the blood leaves marks," answered the trained poisoner. A Pathan chief, who fell by Nicholson's side in a skirmish, left a little son, upon whom the English officer lavished care and attention. One day the 7-year-old boy asked his protector to grant him a special favor. "Tell me first what you want." "Only your permission, sahib, to go and kill my cousins, the children of your and my deadly enemy, my uncle, Faltri Khan." "To kill your cousin," exclaimed the Englishman, horrified at the answer. FACTS ABOUT ANAHIM Sketch of the industries and Resources Most Beautiful Part of California The City of Anaheim, with an elevation of 2500, is situated northern part of Orange county Southern California, 12 miles north of the ocean, 4½ miles from the hills, and 148 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles second largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area. The country is very attractive is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to adequate drainage. The river level, well graded, and we affording excellent opportunity for cycling and driving. The rich sandy loam which never makes it a very easy work; thus lending itself reckless cultivation of berries, ranges, etc. The variety of products, possibility of procuring small amounts of land at low figures, and terms, make our section county very attractive and geous for truck raising, or farming on a small scale. The fares are a few of the products: lemons, walnuts, grapes, apricots, sugar beets, berries vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possession Building and Loan Association Water company, two railroads cannery and drier, large oil industry farm, bank several commercial houses, two two newspapers. The city he said, "and if you show yourself at the door he'll not come within rifle shot. Remember that he can see in the dark, but unless you should get a glimpse of his eyes you couldn't distinguish him among the shadows five steps away. Just listen, and we may hear him." The New York man lay down again upon the boughs. The scream came once again close at hand and after that was heard no more. Presently the guide lifted his head and signaled the New Yorker that he should listen. There was a sound of crackling twigs and rustling bushes somewhere outside the open space in front of the camp, but no noise of footfalls. Then came a little sharp sound of snuffing and after that the noise of something moving through the bushes again. The snuffings and then the moving on again kept up until the bear had completely circled round the camp, and then the sounds from him died away. Bruin had found out all he wanted to know about the camp, decided that venison there was likely to come too high in the way of risk in getting it, and gone away without showing himself or exposing his skin to any greater risk than that of a random shot. "That's the way with bears," observed Meserve as the two men lighted their pipes. "You almost never get a shot at one unless you catch him swimming a pond—and in that case you want to make sure of your shooting or he'll come aboard your boat, which makes things bad—or run him down with dogs, which is expensive, for the more valuable the dog the more certain he is to get killed. It's only the curs that will yap at the bear's heels and run away when he turns on them that escape damage in a bear chase, and, once in sight of the bear, they're the most useful too. The bear is like what I have read of elephants. He can't bear the sound of a little dog snapping behind him and keeps turning round to drive him off and so gives the hunters a chance to come up. "There was one bear that stayed round this shore for years, and he gave fishermen no end of trouble by robbing their camps when they were out on the lake fishing. He bothered them worst in the early spring, when they came up to the lakes to fish through the ice. It was about that time that the bear would come out from his winter's sleep lean and hungry, and it took a heap to fill him up. He was a great traveler, and before the fishing season ended he would be heard of from one end of the lake to the other. They could tell that it was one bear that did the business, for this one had a foot with some of the toes gone, and the tracks about the camp always showed this mark. "This bear run his rig up and down the lake for three years without getting into trouble. He came to grief last in a very queer way. A man named Silas Thompson, camping alone on the east shore of the lake, was on out on the ice minding his lines one March day and thinking how he would have to go home sooner than he had intended, owing to an accident that had happened that morning at his camp. In some way he had dropped his rum jug and broken it in two or three places. There was a bottle with some molasses in it standing by the fireplace, and by grabbing up the jug quickly and holding it over the bottle he managed to save a quart or two of rum in the shape of 'black strap'— DID THE GIRLS PAINT? How the Question Was Decided and a Bet Paid. Two well known society swells went to the Imperial theater one afternoon when "East Lynne" was the bill. A few evenings before there had been discussed at their club the subject of women painting their faces. Several girls were mentioned who were suspected by their admirers of wearing an artificial carnation bloom. Others defended the young damsels and said it was natural. How to find out and win a wager that was laid then and there was the subject of the young men's visit to the Imperial. "East Lynne" is a play which ought to make all women cry, they reasoned, for it makes even men's throats grow thick. They sent tickets for reserved seats to the girls under discussion, begging them to invite whomsoever they pleased of their acquaintances, as they the donors, would not be able to escort them. The ruse was successful. In an upper box sat the young men ready to win or lose the wager, and right below, in the parquet, where they could see their faces and every move of their hands, were the young women. There were six of them, two of whom shed copious tears and hesitated not to wipe them away with their handkerchiefs, while the other four never winced. Among those who did not cry were the girls suspected of laying on the red pigment, and it was on just that evidence that the bet hinged. That night the wager was paid with a supper at the University club.—St. Louis Republic. Hot Weather Weakness If you feel fagged out, listless and lacking in energy, you are perhaps suffering from the debilitating effects of summer weather. These symptoms indicate that a tonic is needed that will create a healthy appetite, make digestion perfect, regulate the bowels and impart natural activity to the liver. This, Herbine will do; it is a tonic laxative and restorative. H. J. Freegard, prop. Grand View hotel, Cheney. Kan., writes: "I have used Herbine for the last 12 years, and nothing on earth can beat it. It was recommended to me by Dr. Newton, Newton, Kan." 50c at J. P. Hatzfeld's.

A Pathan chief, who fell by Nicholson's side in a skirmish, left a little son upon whom the English officer lavished care and attention. One day the 7-year-old boy asked his protector to grant him a special favor. "Tell me first what you want." Only your permission, sahib, to go and kill my cousins, the children of your and my deadly enemy, my uncle, Faltri Khan." To kill your cousins exclaimed the Englishman, horrified at the answer. Yes, sahib, to kill all the boys while they are young. It is quite easy now." You little monster! Would you murder your own cousins? Yes, sahib, for if I don't they will certainly murder me." The little boy wished to follow Pathan usage and thought it very hard that his guardian should prevent his taking so simple a precaution.

Orange county thus counts fifth the area of Los Angles its irrigated lands approach to one-half those of its near north. Riverside embraces nine area, yet it irrigates 9000 m² or a fourth more than the county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times yet its irrigated acres exceed this jumbo county by nearly approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times yet it irrigates 25,000 acres on the county on the south-centre is the former's irrigation as compared with that of almost the irrigated area Diego and Riverside combi Orange county possesses system of irrigation, the main water rights that exist in California.

There was a bottle with some molasses in it standing by the fireplace, and by grabbing up the jug quickly and holding it over the bottle he managed to save a quart or two of rum in the shape of 'black strap'—that's the state of Maine name for rum and molasses mixed together, and it's an enticing drink. He had just made up his mind to go to the camp to try a little of the mixture when he saw a bear coming out on the ice from that direction, and the bear was staggering drunk. It had broken into the camp and was drunk on Silas Thompson's rum and molasses. The bear didn't seem to know where he was at or where he wanted to go, and while he floundered round on the ice Thompson made a circuit past him, got to the camp and came back with his gun and shot him. It proved to be the bear that had robbed the fishermen's camps so long. He died happy, and the fishermen's troubles were ended so far as he was concerned. New York Sun. William Barrett, formerly a representative in congress from Massachusetts and a newspaper man of note in Boston, is reported to be more addicted to the abbreviation habit than any other man that ever lived.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foot-falls, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, offering excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Annaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns POINTS FROM FISH AND GAME LAWS Bag Limit. and Open Season for Birds—Penalties for Disobeying the Law. An abstract of the game and fish laws of the State of California for 1903-1904 has just been issued in the form of a small folder under authority of the State Board of Fish Commissioners.

At all other times the taking of game is forbidden. PENALTIES. The penalties under the law for violation of the game and fish laws are: For violation of the former, $25 to $500, and imprisonment; for the latter, $20 to $500, and imprisonment. Smallest fine for using explosives to take any fish, $250, and imprisonment. WHAT IS ALWAYS UNLAWFUL. It is always unlawful to buy, sell, offer for sale, barter or trade, at any time, any quall, pheasant, grouse, sage hen, ibis, plover or any other meat or deer skins. To have in possession doe or fawn skins. To take or kill at any time, does fawns, elk or antelope. To take or kill pheasants or bobwhite quail. DESCENT OF LOVE. Hath man ever had experience like this (For poets sing a love which children mock. And bliss of love therein is laughing stock). Their silly words make creed for common men? Our life had long been dreamy holiday Till when one even on the bleak highway. I told her that I loved her, and she left Her soul upon my lips, and thus we staid Bereft of earth, and then—oh, strange!—we fled Down the bleak highway till the place's fear Had closed his wings and left from following. So here, within sound of her sweet singing. This summer's day I fathed that dread time And liken it—how up some desert peak Sublime went ancient men and heard God speak And won his law. But once they went, no more! Yea, though God's dreams ran burning in their brain, They hurried to the ways of humble men. Nor prayed of him to visit them again! -A. Boyd Scott in Black and White.

City Consin—How does that come about? Village Consin—Why you see, he has kept a diary continuously since 1871, conscientiously and methodically jotting down from time to time all she important and unimportant happenings, episodes and incidents in our village life, marriages, births, the state of the weather, condition of the crops, what So-and-so paid for such and such a house, and so on and so forth, including the gist of everybody's political utterances. And whenever the revered oldest inhabitant says that this is the coldest, hottest, wettest or driest season in ten years, or a lady makes an assertion regarding her age, or some one declares he paid a certain sum for his property, or a local politician cries out that he has always worked for the success of some particular party and never scratched his ticket. The man with the diary pulls out his little book and calmly calls them down, as if it was his bounded duty to do so. Woman's Progress.

Acres. Los Angeles. 8844 Orange. 41049 Riverside. 22947 San Bernardino. 37877 San Diego. 15022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 8880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres or a fourth more than the belaued county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size; yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size; yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.

My sister-in-law bought me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription (after I had tried several of the other remedies which are so much advertised, and found no relief). I had little faith in the medicine at the time and was so weak and sick that I felt discouraged, but within a week after I had commenced taking your 'Prescription' I was like a different woman. New life and vitality seemed to come with each succeeding day, until in a few weeks, I was in fine health, and a happy, hearty woman.

"Two things are perfectly obvious with reference to the Cleveland third-term movement," said Cockran. "In the first place he has already received an expression of popular confidence beyond that bestowed on any public man throughout the history of the United States; second, his nomination for the fourth time, if accomplished, must result from an imperative demand springing directly from the people. It cannot be brought about by any manipulation of political machinery, because the management of the party is overwhelmingly hostile to him. "From these two perfectly obvious conclusions a third inevitably follows. If there is a popular demand for Cleveland's return to the presidency strong enough to force his nomination upon the Democratic convention that same popular demand will be strong enough to insure his election," because the opposition to him is strongest in his own party. Any movement sufficiently powerful to overcome the greatest obstacle is not likely to be arrested by a lesser." Driven to Desperation Living at an out of the way place, remote from civilization, a family is often driven to desperation in case of accident, resulting in burns, cuts, ulcers, wounds, etc. Lay in a supply of Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

"If women would pay more attention to their health we would have more happy wives, mothers and daughters, and if they would observe results they would find that the doctors' prescriptions do not perform the many cures they are given credit for. "In consulting with my druggist he advised McElree's Wine of Cardul and Theodard's Black-Draught, and so I took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with restored health, and it only took three months to cure me." Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the menstrual functions and is most astonishing tonic for women. It cures scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular and painful menstruation, falling of the womb, whites and flooding. It is helpful when approaching womanhood during pregnancy, after childbirth and in change of life. It frequently brings a dear baby to homes that have been barren for years. All druggists have $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui. WINE OR CARDIUI A Heart to Heart Talk We sat at the table—the alderman, the doctor and I. The subject of dieting was brought up in conversation. "No man," said the alderman, "can tell me what I ought to eat without knowing my habits of life, my temperament and all—is that not so, doctor?" "Perfectly right," said he, "what suits your stomach may not fit mine, and yet nine men out of ten are presumptuous enough to tell you what you ought to eat." "Yes," said I, "they don't appreciate that there is just as great a difference between two men's stomachs as there is between their brains. Overwork some men's stomachs and they will easily respond to the task, just as some men's brains can take care of endless details, but the majority will break down with the overload." "Indigestion," said the doctor, "is not a disease but an admonition—it is the red light that signifies danger. persist. Bitters and alcoholic medicines are poor means for stimulating the stomach to perform a larger share of work than it ought. The effect on the stomach is like the spur to the weary horse—it weakens him and shortens his life. A rational treatment," continued the doctor, "is moderate eating of wholesome foods, and only those which the person likes. Occasionally, say once a week, a dinner pill should be taken which should be entirely of vegetable ingredients—like Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets—that will not purge, but act gently on the liver, stomach and bowels. To my mind the main dependence for curing permanently the indigestion which has become chronic—the 'heart-burn,' the sour eructations, the worst cases of dyspepsia—is that alterative extract made from medicinal herbs that Doctor Pierce calls his 'Golden Medical Discovery.' For it but it simply goes to work in the right way—correcting the liver, purifying the blood and assimilating the food so that the stomach takes up its labors with activity and refreshed powers. It fills the arteries with the pure, rich, red blood of health. It tears down, and oarries off old, inert and half-dead tissues and replaces them by new. It builds firm, healthy flesh. It makes the muscles strong and elastic and steadies and tones the nerves. It cures debility and weakness of every description." W. Walter McGloshen, of Reinbeck, Iowa, writes: "I took only four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and two vials of his 'Pleasant Pellets,' and these remedies did me a world of good. I am thankful for your kind advice and praise the medicines highly. Will recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to all my friends as the best medicines ever made for the troubles for which they are recommended. There is nothing equal to them for stomach troubles." C. P. Spencer, of Plano, Okla., wrote: "I can hardly express my thanks for the benefit I have received from taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' They worked like a charm in my case. Am in better health now than for some time, and will not fail to recommend your medicines to my suffering friends. I hope you will receive my thanks for the good your medicine has done me." between their brains. Overwork some men's stomachs and they will easily respond to the task, just as some men's brains can take care of endless details, but the majority will break down with the overload." Indigestion," said the doctor, "is not a disease but an admonition—it is the red light that signifies-danger. It is the language of the stomach to prepare for serious trouble if allowed to not purge, but act gently on the liver, stomach and bowels. To my mind the main dependence for curing permanently the indigestion which has become chronic—the 'heart-burn,' the sour eructations, the worst cases of dyspepsia—is that alterative extract made from medicinal herbs that Doctor Pierce calls his 'Golden Medical Discovery,' for it contains no alcohol to overstimulate the stomach.

Hutchinson of Fresno has gone east on the mission entrusted to him by the California promotion committee. He will endeavor to bring farm laborers to the state. His plans were well matured as he has decided to devote his efforts principally to Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Mr. Hutchinson takes with him many effective arguments for inducing the farm laborers to come to this state, as he can point to instances of young men who have saved their money while working on ranches and becoming prosperous land owners. The men that he will bring from the middle west are those of a desirable class, and as many as wish to locate here will be welcomed. They are Americans, anxious to earn homes of their own. Florida Orange Crop Information received here from A.L. Reed, general passenger agent of the Atlantic coast line, states that Florida orange crop for this season will break the record of the last ten years. "The crop this year," said Reed, "will be worth $2,700,000, an increase of 1,000,000 boxes over last year. The indications are that the crop next year will be 2,000,000 boxes more than this year. The results of the big freeze a few years ago, in which nearly all the trees in the state were killed, are rapidly passing away, and Florida will soon again be able to furnish as many fine oranges as she did before the trouble." Cutting Rates The steamer Atholl, the first of the fleet of steamers of the China Commercial company to reach this port, sailed for Hong Kong and way ports in Japan Saturday afternoon. She took away about 1500 tons of freight, and there were about 100 Chinese passengers in her steerage. The agents of the company made a cut in freight rates to equal the reduction made by the Pacific Mall Steamship company in freight tariffs, and cut deep into the rate for carrying steerage passengers. The Atholl charged those she took away $15 per head, which is about one-third the rate.
