his hold upon the tree but short time
longer.
In about three quarters of an hour after
the man left him, he heard the distinct
sound of voices, and soon saw the CLEAN

They were accompanied by large num-

with torchlights.
The remainder of the story is soon told.
They built up a large fire, by which they
could take good and certain aim at the
bear, who was still on her perch in the
tree, and now remained there to keep out
of harms way; but she had not been ini-
tiated into the science of gunpowder and
ball. They soon brought her down, but
not until they had fred ten or twelve shots.

home next morning to his anxious friends.
The fright and over-eXertion he had en-
dured had shattered his constitution and
his nervous system, and though he had
been an uncommonly strong and athletic
youth, he was ever after comparatively
weak. He would never venture into the
woods alone, and the mere chipping of a
bird or the chippering of a squirrel would
make him nervous. He died in 1920, or
thereabouts, before reaching his siXtieth

SENATOR BROWNLOw INTERVIEWED.
His Views on Tennessee Politic..

from Knoxville letter to New York Tribune Aug. g.
Speaking of Tennessee politics, Mr..
Browrlow said that the Legislature met in
October and would try to gerrymander the
State so as to make all the Congress dis
tricts Democratic. They could not do this
with the First District, but they might
with Maynard's district-the Second. The
Democrats hated Maynard, and envied
him his talents and consistent record. He
spoke in high terms of MIR. Maynard's
ability, integrity and usefulness az n rep
resentative. The Legislature would, no
doubt, instruct him (Brownlow) how to
vote in the Senate, but he should pay no
attention, he declared, to their action, and
should reply that he did not acknowledge
the right of traitors 10 instruct him.
The Senator expressed strong hopes of
carrying Tennessee for the Republican
candidate for President next year. If har-
mony prevailed among the Republicans,
he was sure the State could be redeemed
from the Democrats. There is still consid
cradle feeling among the Republicans who
supported Stokes at the last gubernatorial
election, against those who voted for Sen
ter, whom they are disposed to prescribe
for their course in that campaign. This
trouble, he believed, could be healed. The
| Senter men were as good Republicans as
any in the State.
inquired whether he thought the Ku-
kluA nau an organized existence IN rem
nessee. He replied that they had not in
East Tennessee, except at Chattanooga.
The Republicans were 100 strong here, and
If n company of KukluX should make
their appearance in Knoxville, in their
disguises, they would all be slaughtered.
| In Middle and West Tennessee the Ku-
klux had formidable organization, as he
believed they had all through the South,
ready to spring into activity in time to
control the Presidential election by keep
ing the negroes from voting, or forcing
| them to vote the Democratic ticket. He
believed the only remedy for the KukluX
troubles lay in the use of military force,
and it was folly to expect fair election in
| the South unless sufficient troops were sent
there to protect the blacks in their right to
! vote without intimidation.

Short Dresses.

Jennie June, speaking of the August
fashions, discourses thusly on short
dresses
1t is not very long since q lady's social
position could be gauged, it was said, by
the lengtlT of her train; to-day, tits not too
much to say that her standing can be best
judged by the greater or less cost of and
elegance of her short dresses.
The lady of economical habitsan limit
ed means, who lives in city, and wishes
to present a good appearance upon small
sum, is afraid to put money in short dres-
ses, so she makes them out of cheap mate
rial, or alters them over into scant gentili-
ty from some worn and faded representa-
tive of former elegance, which has seen its
chest days" and deXpends her principal en-
ergies upon her long dresses, which are to
make q first appearance at winter balls and
parties and prove her claim to social dis
tinction at summer watering places.
This is the best she can do, Hcf train is

| in it she is "a success, but in the beauty,
elegance and variety of her short dresses
she falls below her average, and she knows
it.
Miss A. and Mrs. B. can afford to keep
an elegant short dress of silk and muslin,
because it is lovely, either in the day or
evening, and they have fresh one ofwhite
