American Lager Bcer.

Proof is not wanting, says the Gin.
cinnati Commercial Gazette that
better beer is made in this country by
German-American brewers than even
the lannon's beverage OF the Father
land. Some English ales are good,
but the common run of English beer
will bear no comparison in quality
with that produced in half a hundred
American cities. What American beer
is too apt to lack is sufficient time for
the aging process. The ingredients are
all right, and so is their manipulation
but the beer is thought SO good, and
the demand for it is SO great, that it
is usually pl,lcked, so to speak, before
it is ripe. German beer is imported
in considerable quantities, and is call
ed for by those who allege thatit is
superior to that made here, without
being able to give any good reason for
their opinion. Epicures have queer
tastes, which they have the right to
indulge. German beer may have old
home f1avors that are pleasant to the
palate on accouot Of cherished asso-

A New Bear Story.

Good bear stories are SO scarce that
the reader should not treat this one
flippantly. Henry Whiteside of Har-
Dor Point, Mich: was out with a fish
ing party at Bear Lake land happened
to stray alone up to a brook about
four miles from camp. While engaged
in fishing he caught sight of q bear cub.
He gave chase and captured young
bruin, and started off for the camp
with his prisoner. The latter did not
relish his new acquaintance and kept
up a squealing that made the woods
ring. Whiteside had barely started
when he heard q cracking in the bushes,
and glancing back saw young bruins
mother, q huge black bear, rapidly
bearing down upon him. Whiteside
took to his heels, and to facilitate his
flight dropped in succession his SIS
fish pole, hat and coat, but Mrs. Bruin
cared for none of these things, and
came on like an avalanche. After
many regrets he concluded it would be
best to drop the cub; but what was
his surprise and terror to find that the
bear passed it's offspring without
recognition and continued the mad
charge. 1t was gaining every minute,
and once, as Whiteside slipped, it
caught mouthful of his shirt. In the
desperation Of the moment it occurred
to him to try the effect Of fire, and
taking q newspaper from his pocket
he lighted it and thrust it into the
BEARS eyes. The effect was magical.
The bear wheeled about and White
sidecontinued his detected Journey in
to camp. 5.7.sg p: t''3@ '", .f@

Stepping up to the fence he looked
over and saw an unusually fat pug,

turning somersaults in Che air and
frantically yelping the while. Some

was bathing Fido. He had chained

Greek Meets Greek.

One day last week a lightning-rod
man and life insurance agent made
their advent in this commmunity,
and that without the knowledge OF each
others presence. They both began
toscanvass Merrill avenue with an
ardor of enthusiasm peculiar to the
profession only. It is unnecessary to
say that under such an accumulation
OF horrors most OF the residents yield
cd in apathetic despair. One indi~
vidual yetremained to beinterviewed
and as fortune ordained it the two
agents arrived simultaneously one
morning at his gate. They fell into
mutual error of imagining the other
to be the person with whom they were
seeking All interview. The lightning
rod man opened fire first, with:
"Good morning, SIR
GOOD morning, good morning." re-
piled the insurance agent, cherrily.
81 am glad to meet you,' continued
tho other. Il wish to avail myself OF
the opportunity OF addressing you up
On a subject OF vital Importance"
"By all means, by all MEANS" re-
sponded the insurance agent, delighted
in being anticipated as he imagined,
upon the subject nearesthi heart. at
will afford me indispensable pleasure
| TO-"
"Thank you, thank YOU" eagerly
interrupted the dealer of lightning
rods, delighted III his turn, at getting
such a customer, and continuing: II
| have no doubt that you thoroughly
comprehend how essential it is for the
security--'
"Just what Twas about to observe"
again chirped in the insurance agent.
1.-THE danger"
ayes, yes - said the other. "The
| danger is more than enhanced by neg
lect and the only effectual---"
"Just So" again interrupted the life
insurance agent. II felt sure that you
would comprehend at once how abso-
lutely necessary. it was to establish
safeguards calculated--'' =.
"Of course of course" said the
lightning-rod man, running over in his
mind whether he had enough rods on
hand to supply such all ca ger customer.
Then again continuing:
"You are doubtless aware of the
fact that false economy often
leads"
"I perceive" said the insurance
agent, t'that your mind is above the
ordinary level, andis one that can cas-
lilly recognize the pennywise foolish sys-
tenl--"
THANK you. And your opinion is
but a reflex OF my own" answered the
other
And thus they continued, the one
interrupting the other, and both en-
deavoring to impress his listener until
it became a question OF endurance
merely. The lightning-rod man, though
of O. stouter build, was the first to
succumb, and at length he sank with
an expiring gasp, casting look Of re-
proach upon the insurance agent. The
life insurance agent lasted few mo-
ments longer, but he,. too, at length
sank by the side Of the lightning rod
man, whisperingin his ear. Then they
both persisted, literally talked to death.
The sad affair has cast a gloom over
the community. .>
