Advertising,

The Dallas Times aptly remarks that

that the most enterprlsing advertisers in
Dallas (as elsewhere) are the most pros
porous traders. Some men say, Il can't
afford TO advertise as If 1t were n lux

LOOK DEEP.

Sometimes the dazzling insect. with its form
of perfect beauty,
Has the deadliest OF poisons I'm its sting;
Sometimes the venomed serpents are con-
cealed i'm greatest numbers
Where the sweetest flowers and why cur
tains cling;
While the pure and waxen blossom that we
Nay have death and desolation in its odor
or its touch.
Sometimes the plainest plumage covers Ger
the sweetest warbler
That has ever tuned IT'S anthems for the
heart;
Sometimes the darkest mine conceals the
greatest store of treasure,
And the gem is oft disguised with rudest
art;
Some homely things are priceless, and behind
the rough outside
Are concealed the rarest objects of our graft
tude and pride.
The glossiest of blessings and the most at
tractlve joys
May hide a sorrow in their grace concealed:
The things we highly value often prove but
childrens toys
When the hollow in their substance is re-
yeaed;
So we value toy balloons well padded out with
shining sin,
And globes of downy pleasure that are dyna-
mite within
Too oft we gaze at sorrow, and its somber
garb Of woe,
Our eyes turned from the glimmer at its
heart.
The soul oft chills and hardens till, with deep
affections blow,
The workman breaks its fettered scales
apart.
The ministers of sorrow are the messengers
of rest:
And hearts that know its purpose are the ones
supremacy blest
The purest ight-refector is the prism of a
tear,
The heavens in pools of sorrow mirror deep;
The trust that leads to patience is begotten
from our fear,
And tender spirits come to those who weep:
The death angels from evil many thoughtless
souls beguile,
And sorrow when transplanted into Heaven
becomes a smile.
The most enchanting vanity may blast beyond
relief,
The peace OF God may blossom from the min
istry of grief.

DR.. Hoyt looked cut of the window,
and there was queer smile on his

crammed girls; more nearly in the i'm

Vivid color rushed over her face, and
she put up her hands. despairingly.
"They said l would be lost among

"No, Marier' and Philip Hoyt took
her hand, as he had done that other
day. which both silently remembered.
"You will not be lost as my wife; your

we not be happy together, caring for

Her face grew pale again and her
eyes were bright with happiness.

she questioned.
Men never tell their real thoughts a,

Mrs. Hoyt retains many of her orient

Her thoughts are still largely of service.
She has way of slipping out of the

will listen at midnight. with wide

she does not assert herself, and is no.

A BEAR STORY.
STILL Hunting the Grizzly in the Rocky
Mountains.

STILL Hunting the Grizzly In the Rocky
Mountains.
Sure enough, there were two bears
(Which afterward proved to be an old
she and nearly full grown cub travel
ing up the bottom of the valley, much
too far for us to shoot. Grasping our
rifles and throwing off our hats. we
started off as hard as we could run di-
agonaily down the hillside. so as to cut
them of. 1t was some little time be-
fore they saw us. when they made off
at numbering gallop up the valley. 1t
would seem impossible to run into two
grizzlies in the open, but they were GO
ing up hill and we down, and moreover
the old one kept stopping. The cub
would forge ahead and could probably
have escaped us, but the mother now
and then stopped to sit down on her
launches and look around at US. when
the cub would run back to her. The ap-
shot was that we got ahead of them,
when they turned and went straight
up one hillside as we ran straight down
the other behind them. BY this time /
was pretty nearly done out, for RAINING
along the steep ground through the
sage brush was most exhausting work
and Merrilield kept gaining on me and
was we'll in front. just as he disap-
peared over a bank, almost at the bot
tom of the valley, tripped over q
bush and fell full length. When l got
up knew l could never make up the
ground had lost. and besides could
hardly run any longer. Merritield was
out of sight below. and the bars were
laboring up the steep hillside directly
opposite and about three hundred yards
off; so sat down and began to shoot
over Merriield's head, aiming at the
big bear. She was going very steadily
and in straight line, and each bullet
sent up puff of dust where it struck
tn. dry soil so that could keep cor
recting my aim; and the fourth ball
crashed into the old bears flank. She
lurched heavily forward, but recovered
herself and reached the timber. while
Merriiield. who had put on squirt, was
not far behind.
toiled up the hill at a sort OF trct,
fairly gasping end sobbing for breath;
but before got to the top l heard a
couple of shots and shout. The old
| bear had turned as soon as she was in
the timber and come towards Merri-
field; but he gave her the death-wound
by firing into her chest, and then shot
at the young one, knocking it over.
When l came up he was just walking
towards the latter to finish it with a re-
volver, but it suddenly jumped up as
lively as ever and made oil at great
pace-for it was nearly ll-grown. 1t
was impossible to fire where the tree
trunks were so thick, but there was a
small opening across which it would
have to pass, and collecting all my en-
ergies, made last run, got into po-
sition, and covered the opening with
my rifle The instant the bear ap-
peared fired and it turned a dozen
somersaults down-hill, rolling over and
over; the ball had struck it near the
tail and had ranged forward through
the hollow Of the body. Each of us
had thus given'the fatal wound to the
bear into which the other had fired the
first bullet. = Theodore Roosevelt, TN
