uNPARDONABLE CRUELTY.

A Species of Torture to Which Inyallds

The horrible brutal speeches to In.
valids that are made by visitors appar-
emily friendly and apparently sane are
inexcusable. Some of them are SO hor-
.rible that one must laugh at the very
remembrance of them.

after Bruce at q rate Of speed that.
would have surprised q race-horse.
Bruce apparently looked upon q posi-
ton in under my tree as 9 safe and
impregnable one, but the bear quickly
stormed it. lisa
Bruce started and ran in a circle
around and around the tree, and tho
bear followed. For at least five min
utes that circus was kept up. The bear
couldn't get nearer than one good jump
to Bruce, but the dog wasn't at all,
happy for all that. At last the bear
got tired Of the chase and stopped.
Then if he had had his wits,
about him he would have had Bruce
foul, for the dog was going SO fast that
he plunked right into Bruins rear be-.
fore he could stop. The shock OF the
collision threw Bruce back about ten
feet, and before the bear exactly nm
derstood the situation the dog had.
picked himself up and made q safe re-
treat. The bear gazed after him and
groWled savagely and started back
again for the woods. Bruce came back
to the tree, squatted down and watched
the departure of the bear with appar-
ent regret. The bear had got good
distance away, and / made up my mind
that / could safely venture to leave the
tree and fly for home. i had just
started to, let myself down when what
did that crazy fool Of dog of mine
do but spring up and tear away like
mad after that bear again. / called
and begged and whistled for him to
come back, but I might as we'll have
tried to stop stream in its course. The
dog caught up with the bear, and again
Bruin chased him back to the tree and
around it as he had before. The re-
suit was the same, and the bear once
more retreated in disgust. Three
times after that started to leave that
tree, and every time Bruce started out
and fetched the bear back to have that
circus repeated. / at last realized the
fact that it wasn't the bear that was
keeping my life in the balance, but
that my own dog was the animal re-
sponsible for my peril. If had had
a revolver I'd have bored a hole
through him, but I had none, and so
my only hope Of escape was that the
bear would eventually overh aul the
dog and pack him snugly and effect
ually away.
The bear, the last time his attempt
to let me escape was interferred with
by Bruce, had reached the very edge
OF the woods. The dog was a little
late in starting that time, but he got
off. The bear had disappeared in the
woods before Bruce got there, and the
dog dashed in after him. Time passed.
Dog nor bear appeared in the open.
Hope grew so strong in me that let
myself out of the tree and flew. /
reached my friend Finnegan's in safe
ty. I was there two days afterward.
Bruce had not turned up yet. He is
following that bear yet by easy stages,
or has served as refreshments for him.
I incline to believe that the latter is
true, and / fondly hope it is. q - Ed.

1t may have been that my trout had

Northwestern Crops.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi: April 27.-The
Northwestern Miller's report OF the crop
condition says: Instead Of improve.
ment there has been a steady decline
in the general condition Of the winter
wheat crop for the past six weeks. In.
sects have already appeared in Kan
sas. Illinois to-day makes the poorest
showing for crop of winter wheat Of
any State in the belt and indications
are that the State will prove failure
as far as the wheat yield is concerned
unless the present conditions are miti-
gated. Indiana and Ohio show some
improvement. The prospects in Mis-
souri, and Michigan are not flattering.
A survey OF the spring wheat shows
that in Minnesota and Dakota seeding
is about twelve to fourteen days late,
but the condition of the ground is
thought to be an offset for the late.
ness Of the season. Seeding practi.
cally commenced this week. The re-
ports show a decrease of acreage il

EDITORS HERALD: We would like
to know why it is that the "Grain
Exchange" corner OF Main and Re-
quena streets, is allowed to run, and
that too, before the very eyes OF the
Council and City Fathers. Look at
the number OF young who have
been lured there by the oppor-
tunity for speculation, have lost all
they possess and are now going
around broke,) to use the express
sion, without, in some instances, the
means Of existence. can name lots
of young men who have come to this
noble city to better themselves, and
before they could procure a situation
have run foul Of the same clock
and been despoiled Of the only means
of maintaining themselves while look
ing for position. They say it is not
a gambling concern. Under what
heading can they class it? consider
it, after watching it for long time,
worse than any faro bank ever invent
ed or run. I think had our noble
Councilmen been little more careful
in their observations before reporting
to the Council (as whole) they would
never have given license to the
same. 1t is shame that such thing
has been allowed to run so long, and
the sooner it is closed the better foI
the city and it's inhabitants.

A Restaurant Blaze.

At midnight last night fire broke
out in the basement of the Queen
chop house, formerly the Boston res.
taurant, on the corner of New High
and Temple streets, in the Downey
Block, run by Mr.. John Brink, who
rented the restaurant from Messrs.
Pierson and Crawford. The fire orig
mated in the kitchen from a cooking
range, which was apparently all right
at 10 O'Clock, when the restaurant was
closed, but no doubt the smouldering
fire had heated the store and the
grease had been ignited. Dense clouds
of smoke arose from the cellars and it
was not until large quantity of water
had been poured into the basement
ment that the smoke decreased. The
firemen worked we'll and boldly, and
headed by their Chief d. Morlarity
and Assistant Chief @. j.. Miles, were
down the batchway and got the hose
into position where it did great
execution.
Mr.. Brink had his stock insured for
$500 in the Oakland Insurance Com
pany, which will entirely cover his
loss. The building was damaged to
an extent of $500, making the total
loss 800.
