Among the hundreds of New Workers
in the Catskill Mountains the other day
We're Cyrus w. Field, DIR. j. Marion
Sims, F. B. Thurber and Joseph Jeffer
son. The visitors risked their necks 90
ing down and up the rickety stairways,
over which mighty volume of water
was not pouring. On their way they
read an inscription cut into the stone,
about a noble dog that had, in 1876,
leaped down the precipice / asked
the Snowman, on reaching the top, how
and why the brute had done such an I'M
doglike thing.
He was trick dog was the reply,
belonging to the circus that went
through here. His master left him on
the platform and started down the gorge.
The man got halfway down-aeross yon-
der where the stairs turn-and then whis-
tied. The dog heard the call, sprang
up on the railing, lost his balance, and
went whirling down through space to
the rocky bottom, being of course in
stantly killed by the fall"
Five minutes after, Field and Sims
caught their breath, with the usual diff

used it instantly to ask about the dog.
''He was a trick dog" said the ex-
hibitor of the dry cataract, land be

did you see it?" Mr.. Field inquired.

happened, and the man pointed out the
exact spot as conclusive evidence.
1t was his word against the guide
book now. Five minutes later Mr..
Thurber put the inevitable question.
Field and Sims had departed, and
turned away all but my ears-so as not
to influence the man in his choice be-
tween the two stories. Two? 1t turned
out to be a third.
THE dog was p'inter,n said he,
''and he hearn a partridge som'rs over

it's now. So he jumped clean over, and

hung around to see the earth yawn
and swallow him; but before it had done
so Mr.. Jefferson came up. He called
for the dog story, and got it like this:
The dog was 'normous big St Ber-
nard. He belonged to lady that was
stoppin' here at the hotel, and she had
child that he sort of guarded Well,
that day the lady took the child down
the gorge. The dog was asleep, exactly
there where you're standin'. The child
got dizzy and scared, halfway down,
and Civ a scream. That woke the dog,
and he leaped plum over the rail, ker-
flop down to the rocks"
And broke into half dozen separate
dogs said l.
''What makes You say that?" the man
asked.
Because it needs a separate dog for
each story"
Look here, now" and his tone was

A Mail.Carrier,s Adventure.

The fourteen feet long snow-shoes OF
''Snow-shoe Thompson will be sent to
the Louisville exhibition by H. McKu-
sick. Superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service on the Pacific coast. The shoes
are those built for Thompson, who was
mail-carrier on the various Sierra Ne
vada routes for many years, and who
died only few years ago. If history
of few of the startling adventures en-
countered by Thompson could be sent
along with the shoes, they would indeed
be an interesting exhibit. One morn
ing when Thompson was resting in
hut near Hanks station, something
knocked at the door, and, going to open
it, Thompson saw big grizzly. Thomp-
son jumped back and the grizzly waddled
in and gave evidence of his satisfaction
at the prospect of mail-carrier for a
winters feast. He couldn't get out of
the door, so Thompson jumped up,
caught hold of crossbeam, and drew
himself up. The bear camped under
meath and grinned Indignantly. as
though saying; well, old fellow,
you've got to drop down sooner or
later, so here goes to SEQ which one of
us can outlast the other.
Thompson sat it out all that day and
the following night. There was no use
in CRYING for help, as none would be
within hailing until spring. He could
not Jump down and fight the bear with
his pocket-knife, his only weapon, and
altogether the case looked pretty des-
perate for the old mail-carrier. His
snow-shoes were leaning from one end
of the cabin to the wall at the other
end, and Thompson finally opened his
knife and dashed it with his scarf, torn
in strips, on one end of one shoe, max
ing a formidable lance of it. While the
bear camped under him he could not use
his lance, the cabin not being long
enough. Thompson at last got the ami
NAL outside the door by tossing one of
his stockings out, which the bear
lounged out to investigate. That got
him far enough to be prodded and
Thompson prepared. When the grizzly
had shifted the bait, it turned round
facing the door, and found itself within
foot of Thompson's lance point. The
old mail-carrier only had a foot to draw
back his lance, but he used it to good
advantage, for carefully drawing it
back, he gave it a sudden lunge forward,
the knife entering the bears brain
through one of its eyes.
| When the exhausted mail-carrier
reached Yank's and told his story it
was doubted, although Thompson had a
remarkable reputation for truth-telling
among those hardy liars of the noun
tains. There, if you don't believe me.

States mail ken wait until my carackter
Is vindikated I'll not leave this place
until some of you doubling lubbers has
gone back thar and brought me steak
from that thar bar " And it was done.
Yank himself and some of the men
about the station went back on snow
shoes, and Thompson had his dinner of
steak of the bear he had killed with
his snowshoe lance.-San Francisco Call.
