LOADED FOR BEAR.
Farmer McCue Shoots Thirty-seven Buck
shot at Onca from his TrnstY Gun.

Farmer McCu Shoots Thirty-seven Buck
shot at Once from his Trusty Gun.
WALTON, Oct 2~3.-Joseph McCue of Sui
Ivan county is a little set in his opinions, but
owns up like a man when he finds that he Is
wrong. The other day he was working in
his turnip patch, which is right across the
road from his house. There are not many
~neighbors in the part of Sullivan county
where Mr.. McCue's farm is, which IS the
Beaveriill country, near the Ulster county
line. Mr.. McCue had heard 4 quail whistling
in his turnip patch, and had taken his shot
gui with him, thinking that maybe he might
get the quail for his supper. As the farmer
worked he was finally brought with his face
toward the road, and he caught a glimpse OF
something passing along. Farmer McCue
raised himself up. Is he looked toward the
road his eyes opened very wide. As they
opened Mr.. McCue exclaimed:
"By jee!"
What the farmer saw was a bear, and 1t
was slouching deliberately along in the road,
past the house. There was nothing but bird
shot in Farmer McCue's gun, but he felt that
he must get that bear. He seized the gun and
fired both barrels at bruin. The hear stopped,
looked in q deprecatory manner at the
farmer, and then passed OH. The farmer
watched it until it disappeared in a bend of
the road. Then he examined the hammer OF
his gun and blew into the barrels. Satisfied
that the gun had gone off, he exclaimed:
missed him, by jea!
Farmer McCue finished his work in the
turnip field and went to the house.
IF | had gone out loaded for bear" said he
to his wife, IL couldn't have seen my way,
the quails would have been so thick. Blu
there | was laying for quail, and what do l
that bear bothers me tomorrow, though, I'll
be sorry for him, and I'll load the old gun
now. Mother, count me ont thirty-seven
buckShot for each Darrell
you mean nine, Joseph" said Mrs. Nc
Cue.
'Thirty-seven, mother, for each barrel"
"Nine buckshot, Joseph, is a big load for
any gun, and will kill an elephant"
"Nine buckShot won't hurta coon, mother,
and I'm after bear. Thirty-seven is what l
want, but it isn't enough. I've a notion to
put in forty-seven, to make sure. No, I'll take
t~hirty-seven; but thirty-seven amt enough"
So Farmer McCue put in a double charge
of powder and t~hirty-Scven buckshot in each
barrel. Mr.. McCue is q good farmer, but his
early education as a hunter was sadly neg
lected.
Now let that bear treSpass OH me again,
by iee!' said Farmer McCue.
The next day he went to work again in his
turnip field. His gun, loaded for bear, was
with him. He had no idea of seeing the bear,
so that when in making n turn in the field he
came almost face to face with it, evidently
enjoying itself among the turnips, from the
way it was pulling them up and muncling
them, the farmer was obliged to open his eyes
wide again and exclaim, with more vigor than
before: "By jee!"
Farmer McCue was bound to get the bear,
however, and, backing off a few feet to where
his gun lay, he picked it up, took good aim at
thn hear and fired.

the bear, and fired

Mrs. McCue heard the report at the house.
1t made the windows rattle, and reverberated
among the hills like q Fourth of July salute.
The farmers wife ran to the door and looked
over into the turnip field. There was a thick
cloud of smoke over by the stone wall, where
she had last seen her husband at work.
Joseph must have killed the BEAR" she
said.
But there was no bear aud no Joseph to be
seen. Mrs. McCue ran down into the field.
She had not gone far before SHE saw the body
of the bear stretched out among the turnips.
Looking further, she saw Farmer McCue also
stretched out among the turnipS, rs stiff as
the bear. Just then Farmer Rose and his
son, ~neighbors, happened to be driving by.
Mrs. McCue hailed them. They carried Mr..
McCue into the house. One side of his face
was as black rs his hat, and swollen three
times its natural size. His right shoulder
was diSlocated, and his arm was black and
blue from the shoulder to the elbow. 1t was
a good while before he could be brought to.
Then he opened his left eye, and, looking at
LiS wife, said, firmly, but feebly:
Mother, thirty-seven's enough"
There was n hole through the bear, amid
ships, big enough TO run a ~stovepipe in.
Farmer McCuc, a little set in his opinion as
he is, but willing to W up like q man when
he finds he is wrong, is doing as well as could
be expected.-New York Sun.

It will be seen that to n certain extent con
sumption is least prevalent where malaria is
most so. Map 2 shows the range of fatality
for malaria. Curiously enough, in Florida,
which is claimed to he the home Of health,
malarial fever reaches the highest per cent.
Of fatality, while consumption reaches 20
per 1000. This, however, may be partly
owing to the great number Of invalids who
resort there annually. In Utah neither ma
laria nor consumption prevails to any extent
worth speaking Of. But a reference 10 a
third map DR.. Billings has prepared shows
that in just this locality pneumonia is espec.
tally virulent. When it is not one thing it Is
another.

A Glass Mountain.

'hHc'
One of the forthcoming reports Of the geo.
logical survey will contain a paper by Pro
fessor Joseph =. Iddings upon an obsidean
cliff in Yellowstone park. This cliff is an
elevation half a mile long by from $50
to 200 feet high, the material Of which, Pro-
fessor lddings says, lis as good a glass as any
artifcially manufactured. Its colors and
structure make il not only highly interesting
to the visitor, but furnish TO the scientific IN.
~vestigator phenomena Of Importance. Tho
cliff presents part Of q section OF q surface
flow Of obsidian, which poured down an
ancient slope from the plateau lying east. IL
is impossible TO determine what the original
thickness Of this flow was. The dense glass
which now forms Its lower portion Is from
IS to 100 feet thick, while the porous and
pumiceous upper portion has suffered from
ages of crosian and glacial action.
A remarkable feature of the cliff Is tho de-
velopment Of prismatic columns, which form
the southern extremity. These are Of shining
black obsidian, rising from tho talus slope,
and are from fifty TO sixty feet In height,
with diameters varying from two TO four
feet.
The color Of the material Of this cliff Is for
the most part jet black, u tmuch Of II ia mot

and various shades OF brown. from dark to
light yellowish, purplish and olive green. Tho

trasts OF colors with the black arc very strik-

cooling has been broken into small angular
pieces, which have been again cemented by
the later flow, producing many cclored and
beautiful breccia. In some places the ma
terial shows a fine satin lustre, while IT. others
a deep golden sheen Is noticeable, which,
under the lens, resolves itself into thin beams
