Seriously. Irnot Fatally Bit en- by a Bear

Word reached town last week that a man
named Brown, who has been herding Proflitt
Bros, sheep, on Cherry creek, was on Tues
lay, the 10th inst, attacked by a she bear,
and so badly bitten that his lite was despaired
of. The particulars, so far as we could learn,
are about as follows:
a bear came into the flock of sheep, picked
up one and started into the brush with it.
The shepherd followed the bear into the
brush. but on seeing two cubs he concluded
to retreat, but before he had gotten fairly out
of the thicket a she bear was upon him. We
are not informed whether the man was arm
ed or not, but the bear soon had him down,
and after biting him severely in the back of
the neck, arm and twice on the thigh, left
him for dead. The unfortunate man succeed
ed in dragging himself some distance, when
he was compelled to stop from loss of blood
and sheer exhaustion. By accident he was
found, more dead than alive, by A. w. Tan
ner's ditch tender, who promptly cared for
him and sent without delay for a physician.
1t was reported in town OH Monday that
Brown had died, but on Tuesday Mr.. Tanner
informed us that he was still alive and would
probably recover.-Courier.

What Voices Indicate.

There are light, quick, surface voices
that involuntarily seem to utter the slang,
81 won't do to tie to-" The mans
words may assure you of his strength of
purpose and reliability, yet his tone con-
tradicts his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong
voices, where the words seem ground out.
rs if the man owed humanity a grudge,
and meant to pay it some day. That
mans opponents may we'll tremble, and
his friends may trust his strength of
purpose and ability to act.
There is the coarse, boisterous, dicta-
tor;al tone, invariably adopted by vul-
gar persons, who have not sufficient cul-
tivation to understand their own insig-
nificance.
There is the incredulous tone, that is
full of covert sneer, or a secret "You-
can't-dupe-me-sir" information.
Then there is the whining, beseeching
voice, that says "sychophant" as plainly
as if it uttered the word. 1t caioles and
fiatters you its words, say, 81 love yOu,

Then there is the tender, musical, COM

merely intensity of feeling and some
times blunt features, but always with a
genuine benevolence.
If you are full of affection and pre-
tense, your voice proclaims it.
If Won are full of honesty, strength
and purpose, your voice proclaims it.
If YOU are cold and calm and firm and
consistent, or tickle and foolish and de-
ceptious, your voice will be equally truth
telling.
You can not change your voice from a
natural to Ell unnatural tone, without its
being known that you are doing so.
