A BEAR RIDDEN LIKE A HORSE,

People living in the neighborhood
OF new Chinatown witnessed a novel
sight yesterday, when Chinaman
went galloping along the street on
the back OF monster bear, which
was going at a lively rate. Old Bruin
was bridled and saddled in regular
fashion, and his slant-eyed rider wore
a heavy pair of spurs. The rider and
his steed halted in the main street of
the Chinese quarters, and the bear
was led through one of the stores
back into ID little shed. Learning of
the curious riding animal, Chroni-
Gle representative went to new Chi
natown to see it and the rider. The
bear was found to be of the black
species, and was Il regular Jumbo in
In size, standing nearly as high as a
COW. In conversation with the own
er, it was learned that he had captur-
ed his bear when it was a small cub !:
that he carried it to his cabin, cared
for 1t tenderly, and when it grew
large enough trained it to draw a
small wagon and to perform numer-
Gus tricks. The bear has ALWAYS
been well treated, and runs about as
1t pleases, but always returns to its
master when called, just as an intel
ligent dog would. When the bear
became strong, the Chinaman began
riding him, and never had any troub-
lie. He now rides him wherever he
goes hunting and fishing, and finds
the brute IA better companion than a
dog, Tor he will 90 into water and
bring out game, or carry to his own
er ducks or quail he had killed. The
Chlnaman lives near the Ten.mile
House, on the Humboldt road, and
yesterday was his first trip to Chico
with his trick bear. Chico (Cdl1

Don't scold. If people who are in
the habit of scolding and quarreling
at children and servants every time
some little thing goes wrong, would
TRIP one month to total abstinence
from the habit, they would learn a
lesson in that month that would do
them good the balance OF their lives.
The world would look brighter all
around them and they would feel so
much happier, besides imparting hap
piness t0 those about them. Chill
dren, servants, husbands, wives, all
make mistakes, all do wrong some
times. So do parents. One word
of reproOf spoken in kindness will
more readily rectify a wrong and
prevent its repetition than an hour
spent in cross words and reproaches.
Eye service is the result of quarrel
ing. Heart service, the servive OF
love, is the result of kindness.

A MAMMOTH MONOPOLY.

For some months past it has been
apparent to the knowing ones that
there was scheme on foot, institut-
ed by the American Oil company. to
get exclusive control of the manufac-
ture of cotton seed oil. TO do this
the company has been quietly buying
up the mills Of the south. This com
pany is said to be closely related to
the Standard oil company, of petro-
leum, fame and represents millions
Its procedure in securing control of
the mills of the south has boen sim
pie, but successful. Wherever the
management of "a mill proved refrac-
tory and preferred not to sell, it sent
money into the territory of such mills
and ran cotton seed up until there
was no profit in their product, thus
forcing the management to accept its
terms. A gentleman from Columbus
stated yesterday that the company
had recently purchased the mills Of
both Columbus and Macon. These
plants were under the management
Of one company and represented a
capital OF Sl25, 600 Constitution.

They get along fast in Dakota, and
to prove it a story is told of a recent
ly elected Judge. He had been a
sort of tree lance in his profession,
and had incurred the enmity of a
certain lawyer. This lawyer came
before the Judge the other day with
an ordinary motion which should
have been granted in due course Of
law, But it wasn't. "Motion de-
nied,'' yelled the Judge. But, your
Honor" "Motion denied, say"
"Your Honor, one word, if you
please" ''Not word, SIR" "Your
Honor seems to have a prejudice
against me" "Youred-d right
have" said the Judge. I've been
laying for you the past three years
and you don't get any motion in this
tONrt."

Beauty attracts the eye at first /;
but after you come to know beople
very intimately you do not know
whether they are pretty or not. Their
ways make an impression on you,
but not their noses and oars, their
eyes and mouths. In time the soul
expresses itself to you, and it is that
which you see. \ man who has been
married 20 years hardly knows what
his wife looks like. He may think
he does, and tell you she is bewitch
ing little brunette long after she has
reached middle life, because the I'M
age Of his early love is in his heart,
and he doesn't see her as she is to-
day. Or, being an Indifferent hus-
band, he may not know she is the
fine woman that other people think
her. You have known men who
have married the plainest women,
and think them beauties; and you
know beauties who are quite thrown
away on men who value wife fol
her success as cook.

PREPARING WHEAT LAND
Work That Should Begin Early and BE ES-
ccptionaIly Thorough.

ccptionaliy Thorough.
Begin plowing for wheat at the earli-
est post-harvest moment This will
prevent growth of weeds; and you
will gain the aid of the rain, sun and
air in pulverizing and packing tho
ground. Pass, each evening, with n
heavy roller, over what has been plowed
during the day. As the ground is dry,
there is no danger of its packing too
solid if this is done. Rolling will
crush the clods before they have hard
encd; it will also prevent the drying
out of the ground. 1t is great mis-
take not to follow close after the plow
with the roller; the clods harden and
the ground becomes so dry that part Of
the wheat will not gcrminate. Allow
the ground to lie until shortly before
you desire to SOW. Then harrow and
roll until the ground is fine and solid.
Apply the barn-yard manure just before
this, that stirring the ground may mix
it through the soil. The seed bed for
wheat can not be made too fine, nor too
solid if fine. No crop is benefited more
than wheat by undertaking. Wheat

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
How the Venerable German Monarch
Spends His Days.

Spends Ills Days.
Emperor William does not smokenor
take snuff. Neither does he wear spec
tacles. When reading or writing he
uses an eye-glass, although he does not
wish to admit that his eye-sight is
growing weak. His Majesty sleeps as
soundly as the healthiest of youths, and
never takes rest during the course OF
the day. He always receives standing
up in his salon, after having changed
his old uniform for more correct one.
Should he receive Prince who has con-
ferrcd on him the purely honorary com
mand of n regiment that bears his name.
His Majesty always wears the uniform
of that particular regiment. In this
respect there is never the slightest de-
rogation from the rigid rule of etiquette.
Hence His Majesty has frequently to
change his uniform three OF four times
within an hour or two.
The Emperor was always distinguish
ed for his exquisite courtesy and gal
lantry. And now. although ninety years
oil age, he bcstows upon the Empress
| the most delicate attentions. He loves
| to go and spend an hour ut the opera,
which is quite near, but he never dis
poses of his time during the evenings
without first consulting the Empress.
Every evening they take tea together.
and the Emperor is never absent
without first acquaintng the En-
press of his intention, and receiving
her permission. 1t is during dinner,
which takes place at six o'clock, that
his Majesty decides as to how he
shall spend the evening. These dinners
are of the simplest kind, never more
than three courses and the repast rarely
lasts more than half an hour.
| When the Emperor receives permission
to pass the evening in his own way. he
may be seen at the opera, not in the
grand reception box. which occupies all
the center of the hall, but in an avant
scene of the first story, where, near the
actors, he can see better, and catch
every word. The official box is filled
with chamberlains in grand tcnue, Off
GERS in brilliant uniforms and ladies OF
the palace in gorgeous toilet, while the
Emperor himself IN his plain uniform
bows and smiles to the aristocratic la
dies and distinguished danes in the
body of the house. When the play is
over, which is generally little after
nine o'clock, his Majesty returns to the
palace, he takes a cup of tea, and at ter
o'clock, if more. important receptions
do not retain him in the apartments o.
the Empress, he retires to rest like g
simple workman, satisfied with his day.
