by which one knows how to do the right

1t delights in emergencies and glories
in exceptional cases. It arrives at a
conclusion teQ quickly for analysis of

Talent knows what to do, tact knows

intentional, the other is long and labori-
GUS. Tact presupposes quick perception,
lively sympathy, versatility and ready
adaptability to circumstances. It can
be cultivated but is largely q native
quality. When cultivated it is apt to
become cunning, craftiness, manipula-

let of battle. Meehoo Immediately
pulled down upon him with his rifle, but
to his d'smay the powder refused to go
off. TIE cap exploded with a loud
noise. It was Immediately replaced by
fresh one, but before Meehoo could
fire second time the bear was upon
him, and IN such close proximity that
it was impossible for him even to use
the rife as club. The man and beast
closed in terrific struggle, the bear in
his characteristic game of hugging, the
desperate Indian struggling to draw his
knife from his belt. Meehoo laughingly
said to the reporter, II tell you, my son,
the hing that bear gave me was the
worst I ever had in my life. At first 1
thought my very RIBS were broken, and
1 felt as if my entire body was mashed,
to complete jelly. My breath was en-
tirely taken away, and for a moment I
was entirely exhausted, but realizing
the desparate nature of my situation,
made struggle to free my right arm and
succeeded in drawing my knife. Before
could useit the bear hugged me again,
but / managed to get small cut in upon
his shoulder. The animal released me
and began to snap at me with his teeth,
and he struck at me with his fore paw.
One blow felled me to the ground and
almost stunned me into insensibiity.
By the time I rose the bear was upon
me, but had my knife in time and gave
him thrust that made him growl with
anger and howl with pain"
The old man then proceeded to relate
to the reporter the several details of the
fight and its result. The contest lasted
ten minutes, the bear getting in blow
upon blow, knocking his antagonist
down, but never succeeding in getting in.
a hug upon him. In the meantime
Meehoo used his knife in savage desper-
ation, though for long time unable to
touch vital part of the monster. Final
~ he managed to stab the bear in the
heart and kill him.
Meehoo now owns forty acres of land
and lives in very primitive cabin. He
is an inoffensive old man now, and con-
tinues his daily avocations, molesting no
one.
