A Bear Story.

Mr.. PuxtOn tells US that a Tapper named
Glass and his companion were one day set
ting their beaver traps i'll stream near the
river Platte, when they saw a large grizzly
bear turning up the turf close by, searching
for roots. The men crept to the tbicket,
fired at him and wounded him severely.
The animal groaned. jumped up from the
ground, and snorting with pain and fury,
charged towards the place from whence
came the smoke of the rifles. The men
rushed to the thicket, but their speed was i'm
peded by the underwood, so that theinfuri
ated beast soon came up with them at
that moment Glass stumbled and fell
When he rose the bear stood before him
on its hind legs he called instantly to his
companion to fire, he himself sending the
contents of his pistol into the bears body,
which, with the blood streaming from It's
nose and mouth, knocked the pistol away
with one paw while it stuck the claws of
the other into the flesh of his antagonist
and rolled him on the ground. Glass man
aged to reach his knife and plunged it sew
eral times into the bear, while the latter
was tearing his flesh with tooth and claw.
At length, blinded with blood and exhaus-
ton, the knife fell from Glass hand and
he tainted. His companion fed to the
camp and told his party of the sad fate of
their companion. Assistance was instantly
sent Glass still breathed, but the bear
lay deed across him. The trapper's flesh
was torn away in slips, and humps of ii Law
beside him; his scalp hung bleeding over
his face, which was much torn. The men.
thinking he was already dead, dragged the
bear off the body and took away his hunt

turned TO the camp, saying that they had

A WHITE IBEX KILLED.
A Rare Animal Disposed of by Trapper
in Owl Mountains.


In the Owl mountains, wy. T., is seen at
long intervals snow or white ibex. One
of these rare animals was recently killed
by an old trapper and hunter known as
Shoshone Jack. The snow ibex attains the
size of the big horn or mountain sheep, has
u coat OF dazzling white and is of the true
ibex breed. tits both active and powerful,
and when driven tc bay is a most danger
Gus adversary. Its massive horns, with
their backward sweep of two feet are form
liable weapons and are formidably used.
Some years Tom Anton, then mountain
prospector and hunter now half owner in
the noted Bonanza Old Spring, Big Horn
Basin, came near losing his life in an en-
counter with a snow ibex in the Owl
mountains. Tom was in pursuit of band
of blacktail deer. when he espied ahead of
him what he first took for moving snow
heap. Soon, however. he saw it was an
animal and moment later knew that it
must be the famed mountain rara avis a
snow ibex. The ibex, an old ram, was
within fair range, and Anton at once pulled
down upon him. At the crack of the rife
the animal fell in its tracks. Fastening up
to secure the rare prize Anton suddenly
found himself confronted by the infuriated
animal. A most tremendous " butt sent
the hunter flying into the air, and when he
struck the ground the ram was on top of
him. And now the heavy, curved horns
of the furious brute were dashed again and
again against the anatomy of the hunter.
Every bone and joint felt the fearful pun
ishment. Finally Anton succeeded in
grasping one of the heavy horns, and,
dragging himself to his knees, confronted
his furious assailant. He held on desper-
ately, and was forced to the brink of rough
and steep mountain washont Here Anton
succeeded i'll drawing his hunting-knife.
He made several Intellectual passes with
this weapon and the closely-clasped foes
went down the washout together. The
ibex struck the bottom underneath, and
the keen and ready blade of the hunter
drank deep of its life blood. Again and
again did the knife strike home, and the
snow ibex was corpse. When dressed the
carcass weighed lbs pounds, and the flesh
proved excellent eating. The Owl mount
ans seem to be the only Wyoming district
IN which the snow ibex is found. There
are saia 10 be few IN certain localities of
the Montana mountains.-[Exchan

BAD EFFECTS OF lee WATER.-Americans
are oyspeptic people; they drink much
iced water at meals, ergo, iced drinks at
meal times are bad They may he when
carried to excess this is not denied But
iced drinks are not the cause of the wide
spread dyspepsia in the United States There
are other potent factors in action. Iced
drinks are very grateful to the thirsty, but
too much indulgence therein produces a
torturing thirst, as the person who indul-
ges in eating snow in the Arctic regions
discovers quickly. Just as snowballing
causes the hand first TO feel cold, and then
TO glow with heat if continued, so the con-
slant application of an iced fluid to the
tauces, at first grateful, becomes q source
OF intense discomfort for the blood vessels
are first contracted and ultimately para
iyzed, and then the fauces glow with warm
blood, like the skin of the snowballer's
hands. Iced fluids are not desirable for
dyspeptics, to say the least of it. Ordi-
narily at dinner the pudding is followed
by glass of liquor" to correct it." 4

ton, and too much cold is considered bad
