SUI nad upset me. / had q stout hunting
knife, and had just begun work on the bear
when heard the voices Of Indians outside.
1 also heard them inside, for one of the fel-
lows crept into the tunnel Q few feet and
shouted In his own language to his friends
outside:
at smells very strong Of bear In here, but
the beast doesn't seem TO be at home"
He backed out after Hinging several mis-
siles at the rear Of the cave, and from the
voices and movements | was satisfied that 1t
was hunting party numbering eight or ten
persons. They sat down right there for the
night, and built camp fire, which reflected
right into the mouth of the tunnel, and kept
their chatter a-going until nearly midnight.
They had three or four dogs with them, and
the miserable ours took turns at sticking
their heads into the opening and trying to
raise an alarm. One Of the Indians encour-
aged his dog to enter, and the animal came
almost to the dead bear, and raised such a
fuss that had the red men been the least sus-
picious they would have investigated. did
not get a wink of sleep that long night, and
was thankful man to hear the Indians move
OFF in the morning about sunrise. They had
no sooner departed than fell to work upon
the bear, and in the course Of half an hour
had cut him up so that could squeeze out.
As the Indians had gone down the ravine
from the mountain ! expected they would
discover my camp and lie in ambush for me.
There was also a likelihood that the wild
beasts had killed both mules during the
night
Luck was with me, however. The Indians
crossed the valley too high up to discover my
camp, and found the mules safe and sound.
That afternoon, as | was looking after some
traps set on a creek about a mile from camp,
found a panther dead in thicket He was
an enormous fellow and had two bullet
wounds. and it did not need much cogitating
to convince me that he was the male of the
pair which sought to get at me in the cave.
One of the bullets had gone square into his
head, and almost any other animal would
have died at once, but be had not only sur
vived it for two or three hours, but had
travelled long five miles from the cave

Whep good man wants to buy 'hoss,"
the wicked encompass him round about, and
he gets no peace until he has acquired, at an

Dom Pedro Murciaga y Alcantara, who Is
what Mexicans call viejo verde, or gay old

The Race Which Dies Not.

The Jews sometimes call themselves ''the
deathless race" They are the only people
who apply the extraordinary term to them
selves, and what is most strange and signif
cant, all other nations, including those that
have been trying for eighteen centuries to
annihilate them, admit the propriety and
reason of the claim, and recognize in the
lsraelities people who will probably out
live the present governing nations, as they
have outlived those Of the past The Egyp-
tians, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks,
and the Romans have passed away success
sively, leaving the Hebrews behind them
and if history teaches anything, the Hebrews
will still be here when the English, French,
Germans, Russians, and even Americans.

How new and raw do our centennials and
tercentennials, and even the millennials in

that the very prosecutions this people were
subjected to were the agency that preserved
their coherency and identity; but as they
have never been prosecuted in the United

Probably no commercial tourist is
better known in the United States than
the subject of to-day's illustration in
the GLOBE, and the mention of the
name of Ed Smith anywhere in crowd
of statesmen is sure to bring out a COM
mandatory and f1attering tribute to him.
E. L. Smith is now nearly in the middle
age of life, and during his career he has
confined his operations exclusively to
the tobacco business, in which he is re-
garded as an expert, and he has the
favorite brands at his finger-ends, and
is rarely caught mapping or smoking
poor weed.
He is native of the Badger state,
having been born in Wisconsin in 1910,
but in 1854 his parents removed to Min
nesota, and he now claims this state as
his home. Among the firms with which
he has been connected since the war,
when he first went on the road, are
Day, Allen & Co., KantZler q Hargis,

Sprague, Warner & Company, of Chi

ting somewhat monotonOus, he resigned
his position with the latter firm and set
tied in St. Paul, having acquired part

Forty years ago Joseph Miles, of Mill
erton, N. Y, married neighbours
daughter and settled down to farming.
He got tired of this, and told his wife
that he thought they'd better make
change. She objected, and, in fact, re-
fused to quit her old home. So he left
her and their boy. She made her home
with her parents on their farm. The
husband fought through the war. went
to Sidney, N. Y, and began to
make money. He acquired a snug
little fortune, but had no one to share
it with. A friend who knew his story
went to Millerton, found Mrs. Miles liv-
ing on the homestead with the boy,
man thirty-four years, told her all
about Joseph, and induced her to con-
sent to 60 to Sidney and Join him. She
didn't need much persuasion, and Jo-
seph, too, was glad when he learned of
the negotiations. The neighbors heard
of it. and the other night thronged to
the railroad station to meet the train
that brought Mrs. Miles. She didn't
recognize Joseph, and he didn't know
her, but after the introduction they
seemed very happy, and have taken up
welded life where they laid it down
tnirty-two years ago.

We notice that commercial fellows as
