BROUGHT IN THE BEAR.

l o J ka district. The members of the party had arr anged that they should each take turns at the cooking. The gentleman in 1 question did not take kindly to this work, and when the remainder of the party re- | turned from the chase he was invariably asleep, not having prepared meal. His companions became somewhat dis turbed at this laziness, and declared that he should go out and bring in some game. This he proceeded very gladly to do.
 In a few minutes, however, he was seen at the top of his speed rushing frantically toward the camp with an inn mense bear in hot pursuit. He dashed into the shanty, the heavy doors of which were at once barred against the would-be intruder the frightened hunter exclaim ing, between gasps in trying to catch his | breath
 "Boys-here's your-fresh meat-an alive"
 | After some dozen shots had been fired from the roof of the shanty, where the gallant hunters had managed to crawl through one of the numerous smoke- holes, the bear was killed and the men descended and soon were enjoying hearty dinner of bear steaks. COME, LOVE, COME. A young lady leaned so far out of second story window to listen to her lover singing "Come, Love, Come" serenade, that she lost her balance, and alighting on the youths head, nearly drove it into his shoulders up to his ears. He was so mad that he refused to finish the song. He saic he was only joking, anyhow, when he invited her to "come, 1 love, come," and she should have sense enough to know it-or else come little less tumultuously.
 TO BECOME POPULAR.
 "How can become popular with the masses ?" asks newspaper correspond ent of Judge; to which the following re- ply is given
 Frequent the gorgeous establishments where fiery liquids are for sale. Invite everybody within gun-shot distance to take drink at your expense. Repeat this act from sunrise until sunset, and until long after dark. Do this every day for two years, at all times and in all places, and when at length you fall in fit of appolexy and expire, your funeral will be largely attended by the masses, and everybody will say of you: "He was good fellow"
 THEN HE CONTINUED.
 Several men were seated in Detroit drug store the other day with their feet on the stove and a cigar in each mouth, when boy looked in and yelled out:
 ."Some of you had a horse hitched out here ?"
 sI believe did," quietly replied one of the sitters.
 "Well, he's gone" ''Did he walk off?" "No; a runaway horse came along and upset the cutter and frightened him."
 "Ani did he kick himself clear of the cutter ?"
 "Yes."
 "I supposed he would. How did he , start off ?'
 "On dead run.
 (Which way?"
 "Up Woodward avenue" s'Did he turn in at Montcalm streetP'' "I guess he did," "Well, he's probably gone home and will be around there somewhere when I go up. Bub, you might draw the cutter to some shop and tell 'em to fix it, and here's quarter for you."
 The boy went out to pick up the kind , lings and invent way to draw cutter half a mile on one runner, and the sitter , relighted his cigar, got new brace for
 his feet, and said: q "As I was saying, every sign indicates
 that this is to be year of great confia- grations. It sometimes seems as if great i, calamities moved in waves through the
 world. ."-Det,oa Free Press.
 ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN. }, "I have had great deal of advice" s says Burdette of the Ha,Okeye, given 0 me by older people than myself. In }. many instances I know would have d been much wiser had followed that ad- d vice. When boy, was told to keep V away from the canvas of the circus tent, d but I didn't. I am wiser now. Although ,- 8 circus mans arm is.not as swift .as e lightning, yet it is much more likely to n strike twice in the same place. Young e men, you must be somebody to begin o with. I don't mean by this that you e must be born of some big family, for Is ancestry don't count for much in this d country. If you have got the idea into
 your head that it does, you ought to be
 stuffed and set up in front of cigar ,- store. When the world wants you, my l. son, it will find you. It won't ask who e your grandfather was, for it don't care. n People soon forget the names of the an-
 cestors of distinguished people in this e country. I don't believe there is a man
 who can tell me the name of Brigham et Young's mother-in-law.
 "Make up your mind to do great it deal of hard work It won't kill you. w It's the intervals between work that kill - people. It's after one of these inter
 vals' that you wake up and find your hat
 four sizes too small and your coat several le sizes too big. It's the recreation that t. kills. Oh, but it's only once in while, g you say-a very small matter. Well, al ct though bumble-bee is not as large as 8 - dray-horse, you mustn't handle him care k.,-. Ar~. kal vxSAh
