THE LAWYERS STRATAGEM.-A New
York hotel clerk vouches for the truth of
the following story: A country guest at
certain uptown hostelry, having dread
of pickpockets and bunco steerers, went to
the clerk and handed him 500 bill to
be put in the safe. Asking for it next day
he was thunderstruck when the function
ary to whom he had given the money
coolly denied any recollection of the mat
ter. Whereupon the countryman went to
a lawyer. "Get another 500 BILL" said
the lawyer, "and 60, accompanied by a
friend, back to the hotel. Apologize to
the clerk for your mistake; say it was

The manner in which people meet
death has always been matter Of
deep interest to the living, and historic
al records abound with descriptions Of
the last moments of human lives. great
and small. 1t is thing about which
every one is curious. The death day
or two ago Of woman who had suffered
long from painful disease was a
striking exhibition of calmness and
thonghtfulness. 1t was in an early
hour Of the morning and the gas was
burning in her chamber. Apparently
aronsing from slumber, she said to her
sister: 1T is dark; light the gas. :
She was told that il was already burn
ing. "Then light the other jet. was
the response. This was done, but she
could not see. The film of death rest
ed on her eyes. She realized the truth
and said: Il am going over the ferry

and then brave spirit went to joib

scar story.

During the last summer the farmers
of Clarendon, n. b.. have been greatly
troubled by the depredations of bear
among their sheep and young stock.
Several attempts to capture him failed.
Last week a trap was set and fence
erected SO that he would have to step
into the trap in order to get at the
bait. Bruin surveyed the situation
and concluded, after some study, that
he could get over better. He went to
the rear Of the enclosure. dug q deep
hole under the trap. and then over
turned it, thus securing the bait with
out any injury to himself. Not to be
outwitted by 4 bear, the farmers tried
again. The old trap was left where it
was and another placed where the
bear got through before. The ruse
worked like charm. Bruin came
along, snutfed at the bait, and recollect-
ing his previous success, determined to
try the back entrances. He did not see
the second trap and coolly put his foot
into it. He was there next day, full OF
wrath, and bullet put an end to his
existence, When skinned the carcass
weighed over 400 pounds.
