An Unpleasant Bridal Trip,

A newly-married couple recently made
bridal trip to Hemlock lake in Western
New York. When the ceremony was
over the father of the bride harnessad up
his two-seated wagon and with his wife,
the pair, bridal cakes and provender,
started for the lake--a journey of a doz-
en- or more miles. Meanwhile the frown-
ing elements gave portents of a coming
storm, but all anticipated a good shelter
and a warm reception at the hotel half
way down the lake. Alack! the house
was closed, and no entertainment was to
be had tor either man Or beast. A fog
was settling down upon the lake, night
was coming on, and the clouds began to
give forth rain. The only thing to be
done was to seek shelter under the cherry
trees, and thither the patty drove. Soon
the rain came down in torrents, and the
party had to make the best of the situa-
ton under the cherry trees. The horses
were unhitched, while the occupants off
the wagon spread out their basket of
cakes and cold meats under the cherry
trees. The rain continued to pour in
torrents, and tho bridal pair sat out the
night hand in hand in the wagon. The
old people found quarters as damp and
dismal in the hulk of stranded vessel.

LassOing a Bear.
How Bold Texan Handled Bruin in a Mes
quite Thicket

ii. T. Fancher was trying to catch a
horse, and was riding rapidly after him
through thicket Of mesquite, when he
suddenly came upon huge bear. A
chase at once commenced, Mr.. Fancher
attacking with his pistol, and bruin, pro-
badly nearly overcome with heat: trying
to make successful retreat. Mr.. F. fired
five shots without bringing down his
game, and having only one charge left,
concluded to change his tactics. Uncoil-
ing the rope used as a lariat, which was
tied to his saddle, he made lasso, and
attempted to rope his bear. The first at
tempt was unsuccessful, the rope getting
into the animals mouth. The next
proved a successful throw, the lope get
ting on the ANIMALS neck. A QUICK
movement on the part of the bear jerked
the rope off MIR. F.'s hand and the bear
resumed his retreat, closely followed by
his pursuer on horseback. Finding it
difficult to approach the bear near enough
to catch hold of the rope, Mr..
F. dismounted and continued the
chase on foot. Seeing this the bear
slackened his speed, evidently not caring
if his pursuer did come up with HIM. He
occasionally stopped and looked back, as
if expecting company. Declining hand
to-hand encounter with large bear, Mr..
F. returned to his horse, and calling to his
cousin, Mr.. T. Fancher, resumed the
chase. With the aid Of the stick he pos
sessed himself of the end of the rope,
which was about thirty feet in length,
and fastened it to the saddle. Now com
menced the frantic actions of the bear in
his savage efforts to release himself. He
plunged in every direction, nearly throw
ing the horse, and showing evident in
tention to free himself at all hazards.
But his captor managed to retain his
| prisoner and at the same time keep his
horse out Of the way OF the savage brute.
| until shot from the six-shooter Of his
cousin put the bear hors du combat The
fore paw exhibited by MIR. F., and left
us, is the largest ever seen in this section,
and indicates, so old hunters tell US, that
the owner, in good condition, would have
weighed 600 pounds.

The Queen and the Herd Laddie.

One day some years ago, when Her
Majesty was standing on the public road
near Balmoral sketching the castle from
a particular point, flock Of sheep ap-
preached Her Majesty. Being intent on
her work, she took no notice of the flock,
and merely moved little nearer the side
of the road. A boy in charge of the
sheep shouted at the top of a stentorian
voice:
"Stan' DOT y the road, oman, and lat

Her Majesty not moving out of the way
quite SO fast as the shepherd wished, he
again shouted:
"Fat are ye standin' there ior2 Gang
cot O. that, and lat the sheep pass!'
One of Her Majesty's attendants, who
had been at distance, on hearing his
Royal mistress thus rudely assailed, went
up to the shepherd and thus addressed
him:
"Do you know whom 1t IS you have
been speaking SO rudely to, boy?'
"Na,-I neither ken nor care; but be
she Ia she likes, she sudna be i the
sleeps road"
"That's the Queen" said the official.
The boy looked astonlshed, and after
recovering his senses, said, with great SIM
plicity:.

A Mad OK.
A Farmers Experience with an Ok Suffer.
...a. ing from HydrOphObia

A Farmers Experience with an OK Suffer-
g.. ing from HydrophObia
Reading Pa.) Eagle.
"A horrible scene was witnessed near
Orwigsburg, Schuylkill county, Thurs
day. George Herman, we'll do farmer,
narrowly escaped being killed by an OK
which was suffering from hydrophobia.
A few days ago it was bitten by dog
supposed to be mad. Wednesday even
ing Mr.. Herman noticed that the OK act
ed strangely, and he penned it up in a
shed in the barn-yard. About four
o'clock yesterday morning he was
awakened by hearing strange sounds in
the direction of the barn. Surprising one
of his hc1ses was unweli, he went out,
and was surprised to see the OK raving
around the barnyard, uttering low means
and tearing up the ground with it's horns
When he was about twenty feet from the
animal it lowered its head and with a
blood-curdllng roar made rush at him.
The man retained his presence of mind,
and as the animal approached him he
stepped to one side, but in doing so he
was struck in the face by hoof. He
staggered to his feet and made toward a
garden fence. but the OK turned and
charged after him. The distance was
about thirty yards, and the race was won
by the man who reached the fence, and
fairly threw himself over it. Before he
could rise from The ground there was
terrible crash, and the OK. dashed through
the fence, scattering boards right and
left and rolling headlong over Mr., Her
man. 1t didn't take the man long to get
on his feet and escape over another fence
which surrounds the house. His clothes
were badly used up, and his face was
covered with blood from the wound
caused by the kick he had received, but
he was not seriously injured.
After getting gun and loading it
with powder and a handful of bird shot
wrapped in !; rag, Herman returned to
the fray. He found the OK paving the
ground wrathfully, and pausing occasion
ally to dig his horns viciously into it,
at the same time giving vent to roars
that could be heard more than mile
away. The suffering animals head was
covered with blood from cuts received
by butting it's way out of the stable, and
great quantities of saliva issued from its
mouth. Herman mounted a stone wall
which runs along one side of the garden,
and from that place fred two shots at the
Infatuated bovine. The first shot took
effect in its neck and only seemed to in
crease its rage: Tor with blind fury it
charged at the stone wall and battered
its Lead against the stones. the second
shot, however, struck the OK in the side
and killed it. On gong to the stable
where the animal had been penned the
night before, Herman found the sides of
that structure completely battered to
pieces, and in another part of the yard
he found hog weighing nearly 200
pounds dead, and gored to shapeless
mass of jelly.

Or if my parents were rich or poor,
Whether they shrank at the cold worlds scorn,
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure;
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,

1t matters much! nv,
It matters little how long stay
In a world of sorrow, sin and care;
Whether in youth am called away.
Or live till my bones and head are bare;
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch
On the faded cheek Of my fellow.man
It matters much!
1t matters little where be my grave,
Or on the land or on the sea;
But on. purling brook or meath stormy wave.
It matters little or naught to me:
But whether the angel Death comes down
And marks my brow with his loving touch,
AS one who shall wear the victors crown,
1t matters much! s

The doctor was right. The mark
which I, and others more experienced,
had believed to be the dreaded plague
spot, really turned out to be produced
by the bite OF one of those poisonous flies
which in Syria are often found in prox-
unity to water; while from the fever which
resulted, Miss Wynne we'll nursed and

my escort, reached Damascus first and
Beyrout afterwards in safety. At the
seaport I was fortunate enoug h to find a
respectable old Scotchwoman from Aber-
deem, widow of sergeant who had died
in India, and who, III consideration of
passage home to Southampton by the P.

chargeaof Miss Wynne on the homeward
voyage.
We reached England in due course,
where Ethel's brother was ready to receive
US on the landing-stage. Ethel's brother
has been my brother-in-law these six
years now, and darling Ethel my wife.

greeting to me atj our first meeting at
southampton. And thanks to his preserv-
ing friendship, I obtained four years ago
the comfortable Government appointment
in my own line, which will suffice to
keep my unworthy self and those who
are dearer fanny wife and little ones

JOE, THE WOLF.
A Tragic Episode of the Sage Brush.
RY MARINER T. KENT

Tragic Episode of the Sage Brush.
BY MARINER J. KENT.
Battle Mountain, nearly the centre of
the desert State of Nevada, Is not par
tlcularly attractive village. A railroad
office and freight depot, a row of bust
ness houses and saloons, and a cluster of
unpretentious dwellings, comprise its ex-
tent. At the time of which I write, some
five years ago, it was lively burg, how
ever, and rough one. A small army of
teamsters and miners, and a coterie of
three-card monte men, who made it their
headquarters, kept tho otherwise peace
full village in fcrment of wild excite
ment. The course of these reckless deni-
zens was marked by periodical shooting
scrapes, frequent fstic encounters, and
continuous drunken bouts.
Half doing, one day, in saloon, I was
aroused by the remark, most emphat1cal-
ly delivered, "1t's fourteen inches be-
tween my eyes, and I smell like wolf!'
The speaker, large, magnifcently-pro-
portioned rufian, supplemented the Pc
culiar desert ption of himself with, "Pards,
come an drink2'' With the exception Of
myself, every man in the room gathered
around the bar, addressing the powerful
stander Of treats as Joe. The glasses
were filed and tipped, when he turned
and noticed me. l saw the quick, wick
ed flash OF anger in his eyes. After a
momentary survey, he broke silence, and
this tcrse dialogue followed:
eyer from the city, amt yer2"
II am"
eyer don't know me, do yer?''
IL don't''
"Take drink an git acquainted, then"
''Don't drink
"Smoke, Them
"Don't smoke
"Do yer shoot?"
"Not worth continental"
My years of assurance acquired as a
correspondent, ana my knowledge of ag-
gressive characters, did not prevent me
Of feeling some uneasiness as I observed
my interrosater's dextrous fingers slide
to his belt and grasp the hilt of his whis
tier. An unpleasant termination Of the
conversation was avoided by the appear
ance of woman, who stepped from the
overland train, just then arrived, and d.
rected her steps toward the saloon. She
was rather a comely looking female of
thirty-eight or more, and evidently ill
and suffering from the effects of an ex-
tended debauch. Joe stared at her, as
one looks at the arisen dead for moment,
and then walked quickly to the door
threw himself into the saddle, and rode
away. As he passed the woman, she lift
ed her hands impleringly toward him
and fell to the earth UNCONSCIOUS. She
was borne to the hotel, and the kind wo-
men of the village did what they could
for her. She spoke no word when re-
covered from her swoon, but lay quietly,
unmindful of Ter life fast ebbing away.
During the day I inquired Of Broken
nosed Charley, who knew everything and
everybody about the farm, regarding the
man Joe. Charley said that little was
known Of him except that he mined some,
gambled some, drank like mad and was

Flinging it hither,
This is the way the rain behaves!
Pelting the garden,
Begging no pardon
Though all the roses
Fall on their noses,
This is the way the rain behaves!
Drubbing and rubbing,
All the leaves scrubbing
Then the trees shaking,
Leaving them quaking,
This is the way the rain behaves!

Each other hustling-
