Bear River South Notes.
The wister is almost gone without any snow, which is the cause of most of our enterprisiog farmers having no woodpile. lhe time is drawing nigh when we shal! all have to use coal,—sothen we wont look for snow. The people here do not want snow for obtaining longers as they are all uniting to put up wire fences.
Our genial grocer, Mr. Daniel Mcleaac. still continues todo arushing business at the old etand.
Miss Mary C. McDonald has returned from Monticello where she has beeu -pend- ing @ few days with her friends.
Our school is progressing favorably un- der the careful management of Mr. Stephen Larkin.
Mr. Alfred O’Henley, of St. Peter’e Bay, spent a week here asbort time ago. He was the guest of Mr. Donald H. Mc- Donald.
This place is about to lose one of its fair maidens, in the person of Mies Mary N Scully, better krown as Mary-Nancy as she is going to take a course in Harvard College, Boston.

A THRILLING TALE,
Mr. Peter Jacques, the commission merchant of the Queen Citv, sells a re- markable story of a midnight adventure.
“Icame home rather late on Tuesday night,’ says he, “and went immediately up stairs to mv bedroom. [ had been over at a friend’s house all evening assiat- ‘og in the disposal of a Welsh rarebit. I didn’t waste any time in proceeding te un- dresa and in less than five minutes! was ready to turnout the gas. Once in bed I dropped off to sleep almost instantly.
“It must have been two hours later that I became eonscious that something was wrong. I was being forcibly held dewa in the bed. I tried to sit up but could no more than raise my head from the pillow: My hands were held at my sides. I tried to speak but distinctly felta grip on my throat. I could hear nothing but the blood singing in my ears.
“] lay there in an eternity of suspense for five long minutes, the celd perspira- tion of korrer breaking out from every pore. Then I suddenly felt the bed sink frem under me and knew I was being lifted I felt myself carried gently and then set down, Then tomy horror I found that my legs were swinging in space. I was on the eage of something, possibly the railing of the bannister on the Janding. I felt | was ina decidedly dangerous posi- tion and if left unsupported, bound as I wae, [ must fall,
“That is exactly what happened. I wae released frem the balancing grip; I tottered dizzily and then I felt myself falling. Oh! the agony of that fall. It was the lougest journey I ever embarked on. I fell, fell, fell, and kept on falling. My nerves were all at the utmost tension waiting for the inevitable shock: But the shock wouldn’t eeme. Finally, how- ever, it did come and my strained nerves relaxed. [had fallen on my back in my own bed. It wasthe Welsh rarebit.
““I got up, took a Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablet from my vest pecket swallowed it went baek to bed and slept the rest of the night like a policeman.”

MY FIRST HIGH HAT.
A USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING STORY FOR SPRIGS OF SOCIETY.
Conveying In a Delicaic Manner the Moral That a Novice Should Prac- tice Well In Private Before Wear- ing a Ping Hat In Public,
It was during opera week that my wife said to me, “You must have a bigh hat to wear with your dress suit.”
1 looked aghast. 1 had never worn a high hat. I had never wanted to.
“But, my dear,” I exclaimed, “I'd look like a blooming jay in a plug hat. My head isn’t the right style for it.”
“You can get it shaped,’ said my wife.
“Well, that I'll never do,” I said firm- ly. “I’ve worn this shape for a good many years and’—
“Stupid!” said my wife. the hat.”
Of eourse 1 knew she did. I was playing for time.
“Anyway.” | said, “I couldn’t keep it in order. I'd be forever rubbing it the wrong way. And with this face’—
“You can have it ironed,” said my wife.
I stared at her with drooping jaw.
“Ob, you know well enough,” said she, “that I mean® the hat.”
She was right. Of course I knew.
“Well,” 1 persisted, “up in Chicago the men wear golf caps with their dress suits, and tan shoes and tennis belts.”
“How do you know?” sharply inqvir- ed my wife. She lived in Chicago be- fore the fire.
“I meant
The Sunday Yawp,” I said.
“Nevertheless,” said she, “you'll have te wear a high hat to the opera.”
She knew she was right. I wore it.
It was not a pleasant experience. On the way to the opera house I couldn’t help a continual stooping. That hat looked high enough to brush the gold leaf off the eternal stars. When the conductor came along, he knocked it to an angle that made me look like a retired bartender. When I got out of the car, I bumped the hat off against the door casing. When I walked dowa the aisle, I carried the hat in a way that made my wife nudge me and sav- agely ask if I was taking up a collec- tion. When I put the hat under my seat, a pretty girl in the seat behind me insisted upon playing a tattoo on the crown with her patent leather toes.
The opera was the “Marriage of Il i- garo,” and my wife, who had never heard the opera, presently whispered, “That air sounds strangely familiar.”
“Yes, it does,” I agreed.
“What is it?” she asked.
“T think it is ealled ‘Where Did You Get That Hat? ” I replied.
After the curtain fell I got the hat on wrong end to the front and for a mo- ment fancied my head suddenly and alarmingly swelled. But wife detected the blunder, and I reversed the chim- ney pot In such a hurry that my elbow knocked off my wife’s eyeglasses. In the car, too, in bowing to a lady friend who, I fancied, looked highly amused at seeing me I brought down the hat so far that it banged into the flower garden on the hat of the lady in front of me.
When I got home, my wife said, “You'll have to practice a little with that hat before you are really comme i) faut.”
“Commy il nonsense!” I cried. going to take it baek tomorrow.”
And I did.
I suppose the dealer thinks I borrow- ed it just to wear to the opera. But I don’t care what he thinks.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
