A MASSACHUSETTS farmer who inva-
riably carries the weed in his waistcoat
pocket went to Springfield to sell a
load of apples. When he found pur-
chaser he took the money and rolling
it up into little wad stuffed it into his
pocket. Not long afterward he emp

into his pocket for fresh supply of
tobacco bit off fair-sized section, and

barely worth eighty cents on the dollar,
he smiled sweetly and murmured, 81

peasants surrounded it, and word of
its whereabouts was sent to the Inn
perial sportsman. Unfortunately, while
those preparations were being made.
the creature contrived to slip through

Russias should come and find no game

one of the foresters. Regardless of
cost, q tame bear was procured in the
nick of time, turned loose within the
ring, and now all was ready. The
circle closed in /; Bruin was discovered
at the foot of q tree the attendants

the trigger was about to be drawn,
Bruin rose slowly on his hind feet and
began to perform the National dance!
The exhibition saved his life, but it did
the reverse of securing for those who
introduced him to the presence that
royal favor which their ingenuity de.
served.-Foresgn Paper.
