where il is. There is one block here in
which !, 500 men, women and, children
eat, sleep and work. Not more than one
man in any of the big social clubs posi-

house, with its l,200 inhabitants, is
larger than many a country town. and

Teaching of the Hand.

Careful manual training is one Of the
few good things that are good for every
body. IL is good for tho rich boy, to
teach him respect for the dignity of
beautiful work. 1t is good for the poor
hoy, to increase his facility for handling
tools, if tools prove to be the thing he
must handle for a living afterwards. IL
k good for the bookish boy, TO draw him
away from books. But, most OF all, it is
good for the non-bookish boy, in showing
him that there is something he can do

and still the silver tip WAS getting the
better OF thu fight All a. once the des-
perate animal raised his huge paw and
brought it down with a terrific force
upon the head If the man. The scalp
was torn away by this last stroke and
the poor fellow was blinded by his own
blood. Again the bear struck him,
and the Swede tottcred on the brink
with nothing in reach to lay his hands
on by which he might save himself.
Evidently with the desperation Of death
staring him in the face Franck did the
only thing possible under the circum-
stances. As he was swaying backward
and ready to go over he threw from him
the useless knife. and. in despair Of all
hope. madly clutched the beast around
the neck with both arms. The force Of
the last onslaught carried the animal
too far. for the next moment both the
silver tip and the man. in that awful
embrace Of death. went rolling over
the frightful precipice together and
were dashed into an unrecognizable
mass on the rpcks and pines hundreds
of feet below. Franck's rifle was found
in bunch of quaking sspens. broken
short off at the stock. There were no
cartridges in the chamber, which
proved that the seven-footer had
certainly exhausted his magazine be-
fore drawing his knife. and that after
he had shot all his shells the silver tip
had insisted upon fighting at close
quarters. which accounts for the broken
stock aud verifies the probability of the
man clubbing his gun when the mad
dcned beast rushed upon him. 1t was
late in the fall when the encounter
occurred. probably at time when the
monster was heavily equipped with fat.

An Indians Sagaeity.

In one Of the Western States Was

One of these people. came home ono
day and found that somebody had
stolen a large piece Of meat that had
hung up by his door. His neighbors
were sorry for his loss, and were talk
ing with him about it, when an old In
dian came along and asked what was
the matter. They told him and he
went to the place where the meat had
hung. and looked about carefully.
Their he spoke: II do not know who
stole your meat" said he. .'but I can
tell yon what sort Of q man he was.
He was white man. He was short,
and lame in ono leg. He had dog
and gun"
W course they all wondered how the
Indian knew.
Il know he was short" said the In
dian. "because he moved up this block
to stand upon in order to reach the
meat know he was lame. because
one foot left q lighter mark than the
other when he walked know he was
. white man. because he turned out
his toes; and know he had dog and
gun. because here are the dogs tracks
and the mark OF the gun In the
ground where he stood It up against
the house"
Then he told them which way The
thief had gone. and they followed. and
caught him. and got the meat back
again.
