'l IBS Joseph Mahn, of Elk county, once famous as a mighty hunter, died a few days ago, nearly 90 years old. It was less than ton years ago that foiling eyer sight compelled him to give up his life in the woods. He had hunted and trapped in the Pennsylvania woods siince 1820, and the stories of his ex ploits are household words in the west ern and northern portions of this state. He remembered when elk were yet numerous in the state, and one of his favorite stories was of the time when he was a boy and went with his father on an elk hunt. They followed the elk from the headwaters of the Alleghnny river until it crossed the river below where Oil City is now, and led the chase into Ohio, where, on the third day of the hunt, it was killed not fax from what is now. Mansfield. This old woodsman ended his career as a hunter and trapper by a series of successes which he declared were the most satisfactory to him of all his ex ploit. He was trapping in Center county, and had four bear traps out. Ihj started out one morning to look after them. The first trap he visited had done good work. It had a big bear in it with a magnificent coat of lUr. The old trapper shot the bear and went on to another trap. That one had a surprise for him. It was not a bear, but an ugly, glaring, snarling cata mount, the largest one Mahn had ever seen in all his career in the forest. It was not only ugly, but extremely tough, foi the trapper had to shoot it five times before it would die. This trophy was over four feet long. After killing the catamount Mahn went on to the third trap, and there he found awaiting him a monstrous old- timer of a he bear, caught in the trap by both fore feet. How the bear man aged to get both feet into the trap was something Mahn could not understand, as it was a thing unheard of in bear trapping. This bear wa a savage old chap, and resented its capture with so much tenacity that he would not give up until four rifle bullets induced him to. That three traps in succession thould have yielded each so fine a prize was enough to astonish even a veteran trapper, but when the fourth one came to the front with a third bear, as fine as either of the others, the old trapper re joiced greatly. It was a trapping event without precedent in the Pennsylvania woods, and as it was a fortnight since Mahn had shot the bitrtrest buck on record as having been killed in the state he was willing to go home and rest the remainder of his days on the laurels these exploits alone had won him. And he fully intended to do so, for he had lost the Bight of one eye entirely, and the other eye was failing. But he was not permitted to retire just yet, A few week after his great trapping experience a delegation of backwoods farmers waited on him and solicited him to go kill a bear or something that w as playing havoc with their sheep and pigs. The weather wan warm, and Mahn did not care to undertake the tiVKk, leing then almost 80 years of age, His neighbors insisted, and he took The United States, Dominion of (1,.)wn ,,i8u"om'',"re.a"dBhoulu'red ii in ii u jm. lie (Mil uuv HA nuiiutib unj' all.

Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., 'Chief," says: "We won't keep house without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex perimented with many others, bat never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its plaoe in onr home, as in it we nave a oertain and Bare cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on yon as just as good as Dr. King's New Dis oovery. They are not as good, beoaase this remedy has a record of cures nod How SbjtU We Flan to Get from It All the Good It Can GlveT What is sure to make it a red-letter day? What is the very best way to spend it? How shall we plan to get from it all that it can give? To make the very most of a single day, a holiday, a day that we are at liberty to spend as we like, may be something of a puzzle. It suggests the question what do you care most about doing witn all your time? Time is the stuff of which life is made, and just to be sure of what we care most to do with it is worth thinking about.- Most young people, and in fact pretty much all persons-, have some favorite occupation or study, Or both in one, some special direction in which they are strongly drawn, that lies outside of the daily necessary routine of work. For those who have ordinarily but lit tle leisure (and in this busy work-a-day world this includes the majority), the indulgence of this private liking is a capital use for at least a part of the holiday. It may lead to important re sults or it may not-the thing we are most eager to do may be a mere amuse ment of which we soon tire, or it may be the thing that we were made to do, the real serious business of our lives, which circumstances have seemed to put beyond our reach, yet which per severance will enable us to achieve. However that may be, there is no question about the pleasure of doing the thing one likes best. It may be nusic or history, or football, or wood carving, or what not there is certainly n very keen satisfaction in following one's own personal taste. And the chances are that if you are enough in earnest, something worth while will come of it. Too much is made of the motive of makinsr money. It is well to remember that there is another kind of satisfaction in good work, in every kind of employment, done for its own sake. It does not make much difference wnat the work is. Anv kind of useful or beautiful thing done, in the measure in which the heart is thrown into it, doing one's very best for the sake of seeing it well done, is good and satisfy ing. Time spent in this way is wen spent. If there is any such thing as a secret, of happiness, it ia surely this make others happy. And all good work is an antidote for selfishness. Not only that, but it is one of the surest, most lasting and rightful sources of con tinual happiness. To talk about work as the best play the best resource for enjoying a holiday, seems on the surface a contradiction. But the best play is not idleness merely. To be worth havinpr, it must be some kind of activity, and to be really delightful, it must be something loved. To make the most of a holiday, then, it is quite fair to do the very thing that you care for personally, however unimportant it may appear to somebody else, Something is due to trie (lay liseu, Is it Thanksgiving day?
