Mrs. McCue heard the report at the house.
1t made the windows rattle, and reverberated
among the hills like a 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 and 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, as stiff as
the lear. 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 as his hat, and swollen three
times its natural size. His right shoulder
was disloca. ed, and his arm was black and
blue from he shoulder to the elbow. 1t was
a good while before he could be brought to.
Then he opened his left eye, and, looking at
his wife, said, firmly, but feebly:
Mother, thirty -sevens enoughlr
There was hole through the bear amid
ships, big enough to run a stovepipe in

he is, but willing to own up like a man when
he finds he is wrong, is doing as well as could
be expected-New York Sun.

A UsefuI Bug For the Ranch.

owns a large fruit rance near Penryn, in this
county, has been introducing the two spotted
ladybug, or scale destroyer, in the orchards
of his neighborhood. They are said to be q
very thorough and efficient remedy for tho
San Jose scale. The scale lives on the tree
and the ladybug lives on the scale. 1t is said
that whole orchards in San jose valley have
been entirely cleared Of the pest that threat
ened their destruction by this little bug. In
one case q twenty-acre orchard had been
abandoned TO the scale, the owner having
despaired of a remedy. The ladybug came
along and attacked the scale in that orchard
in one year it had much improved, and in two
years every scale was annihilated, and the
orchard is now as healthy and thrifty as it
ever was-Placer Call Herald.

An Awful Story.

There was once little girl who had a way
of saying awful" to everything She lived
in an awful house, in All awful street, in an
awful village which was an awful distance
from any other place She went TO an awful
school, where she had an awful teacher, who
gave awful lessons out of awful books. Every
day she was so awful hungry that she ate an
awful amount of food, so that she looked aw-
full healthy. Her hat was awful small and her
feet were awful large. She went to an
awful church, and her minister was
an awful preacher. When she took an
awful walk she climbed awful hills, and
when she got awful tired she sat down under
an awful tree to rest herself In summer she
found the weather awful hot, and in winter
awful cold. When it didn't rain there was
awful drought, and when the awful drought
was over there was an awful rain. So that
this awful girl was ali the time IN an awful
state, and if she don't get over saying "awful"
about everything am afraid she will by and
by become an awful bore.

An old gentleman at TewkeSbury for many
years rode blind horse Though sightless,
the steed. which had probably been good
fencer once, had learned to jump whenever
he received a hint that he was desired to do
SO. One day, after a run with the hounds,
some hunting men were talking in the bar OF
hotel about big jumps, and the owner Of
the blind horse stoutly maintained that that
animal would Jump over a single obstacle
which none oftheir hun tiers would leap. He
was ready to back his words with money,
and as the result of the conversation he made
four bets of s. each On the subject. Very
soon the four spOrtsmen repented Of risking
their money SO rashly. The owner Of the
blind horse put down a straw in the street,
and this constituted the obstacle" He rode
up to it, and the blind steed, responding to
his call, rose at the rasper,n clearing it with
a bound four feet in the air, and covering
twelve feet Of ground at least. None Of the
other four horses would rise at a straw, and
the owner of the blind horse was f20 richer.

WALTON, Oct 23-JoSeph McCue of Sui
ivan cor " is little set in his opinions, but
owns up ike a man when he finds that he /,
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
Beayerklll country, near the Ulster county
line Mr. McCue had heard quail whistling
i'll his turnip patch, and had taken his shot
gun 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 glimpse Of
something passing along. Farmer McCue
raised himself up. As 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 it
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 hruin The bear stopped,
looked in a deprecatory manner at the
an AAi'af anu biASh lSAN-7A Oii- hc iiNl
watched it until it disappeared in bend OF
the road. Then he examined the hammers of
his gun and blew into the barrels Satisfied
that the gun had gone OF, he exclaimed:
Missed him, by jee!"
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 But
there was laying for quail, and what do l
flush but bear as big as yearlng colt. II
that bear bothers me tomorrow, though, I'll
be sorry for him, and I'll load the old gun
now. Mother, count me out thirty-seven
buckshot for each barrel!"
You mean nine, Joseph" said Mrs. Nc
Cue.
Thirty seven, mother, for each barrel
Mine buckshot, Joseph, is big load for
any gun, and will kill an elephant"
mime buckshot won't hurt a coon, mother,
and I'm after bear. Thirty-seve is what
want, but it isn't enough I've a notion to
put in forty-seven, to make sure. No, I'll take
thirty-seven; but thIrty-seven amt enough
So Farmer McCue put in a double charge
Of powder and thirty-seven buckshot in each
barrel. Mr. McCue is a good farmer but his
early education as a hunter was sadly neg
lcrted.
Now let that bear trespass on me again,
by jeei" 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 turn in the field he
came almost face TO face with it, evidently
enjoying itself among the turniTs, from the
way it was pulling them up and munching
them, the farmer was obliged to open his eyes
wide again and e1claim, with more visor than
before: by jee!'
Farmer McCue was bound to get the bear,
however, and, backing off few feet to where
his gun lay, he picked it up, took good aim at
the bear, and fired
