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

KEEPING A HOLIDAY.
Th Truw Remedy.
W. M. 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,
