who relates the story. and the excitement
was great. 'One-eyed Kelley was a bear
For eight years he had helped himself
to mutton and pork in this vicinity, and
had de6ed all efforts to capture him. His
right eye was out II was put out In No
vember, 1879, by ALI. Dagger. lumber
man. Dagger had wounded the bear, and
they had come to q wrestle. Dagger fell
down in trying TO get away from the bear
The bear had its paws on the fallen hunters
breast, when Dagger jabbed a stick in
bruins right eye, gOuging it out of the
socket. The bear left Dagger. and before
1t could renew the attack the hunter es-
capped.
The next September Jim Shaftley caught
q One-eyed bear in trap. He made up his
mind to keep the big animal alive, and tied
him In log inclOsure. Shaftley gave the

Austin Gavin Opens His Mouth asd Puts
His whole Foot In It.
Austin Gavin, spirited youth In the
employ Of Kinnane, Wren Il Co., being
rather fresh and fond Of adventure, has
been known more than once to pass himself
of as local reporter. Yesterday he was
using the telephone at the Lagonda House
to talk 10 young lady. and happened to
mention ''the paper rather familiarly.
William H. MinYoung, the sport concern
ing whom so much sensational matter
has been published in the local
papers recently, 10 stopping at the
Lagonda, and was in the Office
at the time. When Gavin finished Min
Young approached and asked him what
paper he was on. Min Young is q portly,
well-dressed, sIeek-lOoking individual, and
Gavin sized him up at once for advance
agent of good show. Thinking there was
a good opportunity to work him for q
comp" he replied that he was reporter
for the Gazette. No sooner had the words
escaped him than the heavy hand Of Min
Young descended upon his collar and he
was yanked up to the counter, where Min
Young spread open = recent copy of the Ga
zette and pointed to long sensational arti.
Gle about himself and asked with blood
in his eye: "Did you write that blankety
blank lie?" Young Gavin suddenly re-
allied that reporters life is not always
jammed full of joy and crawfished, dis"'v,i-
ing connection with any Papti whatever,
and begging for mercy.
Later in the day he recounted the Incl.
dent to couple Of friends, and expatiated
at some length on the Min Young case, tell.
ing considerably more than he knew. After
he had finished Min Young's attorney, who
had been quiet listener to the whole con.
versation, asked his name and made note
of ii for future reference.

Everything Fair in War.

Jonas --, of Washington, Ind, toward the
close of the late war, was body servant to
auatermaSter, and after the close, and
when the quatermaster had been mustered out,
as Jonas tells the story, he requested Smith,
us a last service before parting, to take large
box on a dray to the freight depot and shipit,
asking Smith at the same time IF he could
read and write"
Jonas answered that he could not, started
of with the box, and on the way to the station
removed the shipping tag which bore the
name of the quatermaster and that of the
place the box was to be shipped.to, and subSti-
tuted his own name and address, and by
that means obtained a box of new army
blankets the quatermaster intentedto capture
or steal from Uncle sam.

A Scheme which is successfully Worked

A Scheme Which il successfully Noih'h
in Iuiuoi, Country Towns.
The ways OF making a living are rs multi
farous as the road To- heaven, and many OF
them are rs morthodoy. a reporter came
across an ingenious scheme the other day,
which was being worked with considerable
success in the country towns of Illinois.
Four fellows composed the business partner
ship Some bright morning they descend
upon the peaceful country village ana soon
the streets are flooded with circulars an
nouncing that Professor John Smith viii do
liver u lecture that evening on "Ihe Shakers,
their cli,ion, habits and pccuIlarltles ~
There Is nothing new IN the idea of a lecture,
but the circular goes on 20 say that the lee
turer was adopted at an early age 10y this
peculiar people, and finally became an elder
among them; thu, a genuine Shaker dance
will be performed, and that Professors Jones,
Brown and Robinson-uneXcclled artists in
their way-will sing plantation melodies,
with guitar, banjo and tambourlnc accompani-
ment This is quite in the beaten track, but
the final announcement catches all eyes.
Prizes viii be given 10 the --LATEST man, the
prettiest girl, the most popular married wo-
man and the homclicst man, the prizes to be
awarded according TO the popular vote at ten
cents vote. OF course everybody turns out,
including the young men with their best
girls The lecture is stuff cribbcd from the
encyclopaedia, the Shaker dance is travesty
on anything in the heavens above or the
earth beneath, and the plantation melodies
are not much better.
Then comes the voting. The cheap, snowy
prizes are exhibited from the platform, where
distance lends enchantmcnt. Some enthusi-
astic youth casts vote for a village belle.
Another chap starts rival beauty, and the
contest grows interesting. At this juncture
some village loafer, hired for the purpose by
the lecturer and his partners, steps up and
casts heavy vote for colored woman, This
knocks the boys silly for n moment and then
they join forces and proceed TO outvote the
latest candidate for popularity The upshot Of
the matter is that the colored woman is beaten,
but only after the boys have expended their
last dime. The prizes are then awarded, and
for a 80 cent album the schemers take in
anywhere from $50 to $40 in dimes, to say
nothing of the vote on the other prizes. OF
course they lose no time in getting out in
time. The country boy may be slow to see
that he has been viCtimizcd, but when his
eyes are opened he is apt to use vigorous
measures, and the lecturer and his partners are
well aware of the fact. Next day the same
programme is repeated in another town, and,
barring "A rough experience now and then,
when their scheme is seen through, the quar-
tet make an easy and comfortable living
