There has been no appreciable rain
fall In any of the sections from which

up the cotton and corn in the northern
part Of the State, and would b of
great benefit to tho growing crops Of

HIS FIRST GRIZZLY.
A NEWSPAPER HUMORISTS ENCOU y
TER WITH MIGHTY SMART
BEAR.

1t was this way:
We had been out from camp-Jim
aud for three days, and the whisky
was getting low. We had first emp
tied both our TASKS into the coffee pot,
pooling our remaining stock, and
were going to make an even divide,
when the bear came in.
He had not been invited, nor did he
knock as he came in. He just came
strolling out OF the brush, in listless
distingue way, up to the camp fire.
We rose, of course. 1t is the inva-
riable custom in the mountains, when
a bear joins party unexpected, for
the members Of the party to rise. If
the bear is small one, it is not consi-
dered necessary to rise higher than
the lowest branches-some seven or
eight feet; but, on the approach Of a
grizzly or large cinnamon, it is Gus
tomary to rise five or six feet higher.
Social etiquette is very strict on these
points.
This was grizzly; SO we did not
stay even to look for our guns; but
rose at once about twenty feet.
He hardly acknowledged our cour-
tesy-.just the dearest recognition
and then proceeded to take an inven-
tory of our outfit. It was not long be-
fore he struck the whiskey. Then he
sat down to make a night of it.
"Jake," said Jim, calling me across
from his tree to mine: 81 poured my
whisky into the pot first, didn't I 7"

$50 my shares at the bottom, and
it's your half he's drinking now, amt
fite,
1t was low-down way for Jim to
talk, and felt like dropping out Of
my tree and climbing up to thrash him.
But didn't.
Soon the liquor began to tell on the
bear, rs we could see from his hic-
coughs and the unsteady look in his
eye.
Then he-the bear-began overhaul
ing our packs. Soon he came to my
spare overalls and, diving his fore paw
into the pocket, pulled out an old
ticket and key. The ticket
had run out, SO he threw it away.
Then he grabbed tho key; and, pick
ing up my hat and putting it on over
one ear, staggered across to the foot
of Jim's tree, and commenced jabbing
the key into the crevices of the bark.
''Looking for the keyhole, by all
that's holy" said Jim, as he drew his
legs up couple of feet higher.
Presently the bear dropped the key
into the grass, and tried to look as il
he had done it on purpose. Then he
saw my rubber boots /; and you should
have heard him laugh as he grabbed
them! Then he sat down ON his
launches and began to pull the boot,
ON.
But he had his back turned to M

ing to put his left foot into the righ

The sport of thieving, in its various forms,
is the most irresistible of all pastimes writes
the late Chief Justice Cockburn in his re-
miniscences. What have the moors equal to
itl No license to pay for, no permission to
ask, no close time, total idleness, great risk,
frequent success, constant excitement, a
community Of their own, the whole public
their preserve, the delight of eluding the
law, and the many chances of escape even
after being caught trespassing,' If anything
could be required to whet their appetite for
this game, it would be its contrast with the
dullness of a good prison recently left l
hope Pm wrong, but if there be a thoroughly
reformed twice convicted thief, ! would
rather pay shilling to see him than to see
any other wonder in any living show.-Home

The Edinburgh Review takes view quite
contrary to Walter Besant. 1t says that,
however we may try to conceal it, there is a
vast amount of unhappiness among married
people of all classes The fault is not with
the men nor with the women, but it is in
volved In our social system 1t obliges her
to sell herself to a man-that is, secure hus-
band before her salable commodities, youth
and beauty, are gone from her. As there are
more women than men the woman has prac-
tically no choice, and some women no chance,
even to sell themselves. The remedy, it is
suggested, lies in giving the woman work and
money-in other words, equality of position.
Probably the instincts of the sexes are by no
means SO easily disposed of as this writer
supposes. lobe-Democrat.
