Bear Story An enormous bear having
made great ravages in the commune Of Ur-
doz, near Oleron in the Bases Pyrenees, a
peasant named Bernatn, and another pea
SAINT of the hamlet, went out in the morning
of the 23d ull. each armed with a gun and
after great labor made their way 10 the sum
init of rocky mountain as the most likely
resort of the shaggy monster. Bernatln
having desired his companion to keep his
gun ready cooked, approached covert of
brushwood and heath which he beat for
some time with the butt end of his gun with
out raising the game, and had concluded it
was elsewhere, when bruin suddenly came
upon him. and before he could raise his gun,
or draw his knife, caught him in a deadly
embrace. Bernatn's associate saw the I'M
equal conflict, but dared not fire for fear OF
woundng the man instead of the bear
Bernatn, though severely torn, retained his
presence of mind, and struggled with his ad-
versary till they both rolled over the edge
of a precipice 800 feet deep, when bruia re.
linqushng his grasp, fell TO the bottom and
was dashed to pieces. Fortunately for the
intrepid hunter, there was stunted tree on
the face Of the cliff, a broken branch Of
which caught his frock and held him sus-
pended till his companion reached and saw
ed him from the abyss.-Paris Paper.
Sketches Of Rochester Nth Notices Of
Western New York, is the title of bool,
just published, intended to illustrate the pro-
gress Of Rochester during the first quarter
century Of its existence in which short
space it has become one of the largest inland
cities in our country. The first settlement
at Rochester was made in 1912 and in 1916
1t contained but 33 inhabitants The pres
ent population is about 10000 The Seneca
Indians, who lived in the valley of the Ger
nesee, did not abandon the place where the
city now stands till 1918. The first church
was erected in 1922; now there are twenty.
two large and elegant edifces
The first flour was manufactured in 1914,
and for several years the product was con-
fined to a few hundred barrels. There are
now twenty large mills, with upwards of
ninety runs of stone, capable of manulactur.
ing five thousand barrels daily. Rochester,
besides supplying the city and vicinity, ex-
ports by the Erie Canal alone between four
and live hundred thousand barrels annually
The growth of the city has been amaz-
ingly rapid-almost without parallel, but
1t has been substantial and has only kent
pace with the advance of the fertile region
by which it is surrounded She is as the
