As Hank Cusker, tho famous bronco
breaker, and James McNaney, cowboys
in the employ of the Nm outfit, were
driving n bunch of horses from the head
of Big Dry 10 the round up they encoun-
tered four grizzly bears. They deter
mined to make it as interesting for the
quartet as possible and instantly gave
chase, armed with their lariats only.
After chasing them n couple of miles and
getting hem separated they closed in on
two of the ferocious beasts and proceeded
TO use their skill as rope throwers IN n
very novel name They did their re-
spective acts simultaneously and with
precision, one catching his bear around
the neck and the other surprised his by
roping n hind leg. Then the fun com
menced, in one going in one direction
and the other in the opposite, with the
horses ~plunGing and snorting and trying
to get away, but they were hitched to too
heavy loads and soon became tractable
again. Cusker having caught his bear
by the neck. soon had his bearship in a
strangling condition, and with his usual
courage proceeded 10 tie him as he would
have lone with n steer or bronco, and
he eventually succeeded in his intended
IA Ibot. III lnt nlttIlllilc NlCENuleJ was
doing his best to interest his charge, and
no doubt did so.
After making sure Of his victim Cusker
had n great curiosity to know how Nc
Nancy wa getting along with his pro-
tege, and Immediately started to hunt
him up. He succeeded in finding him
shortly and that his services were wei
come, MS tho bear being caught by the
hind leg, had full control of his lung
power and was making day hideous by
his enraged cries. Cusker then under
o 10 do the tying act with his one,
and becoming very bold after the expert
euce with the other one he proceeded at
his victim without fear and got n couple
of good FOUNDERS from the bear to pay
for his impatience. However, they were
not very severe strokes, md after dodg-
ing around awhile they succeeded in
getting n rope round his neck and her
made short work of him. Tho only
knife they had was n very small pen
knife, but they were bound TO ave the
pclts, n after working hard for a
couple of hours succeeded in securing
their skins. When they had dispatched
the two beasts they became quite blood
thirsty and wanted to do some moro kill
ing, but tho other two bears had made n
hasty retreat into the Bad Lands and
could not be found, so they proceeded on
TO tho ranch.-Glendive on. IT, indie

A boarding House Secret.

A certain lady who keeps n rather
fashionable boarding house in this city
is troubled with ten boarders-no less
than NV possess enormous appe-
tites. Everybody that knows n board
ing house can realize that ten boarders
with large appetites are very hard upon
tho profit of the concern. She tried, like
a thorough business woman, all sorts of
methods to check these ungodly appetites,
but to no anvil.
One day she happened to tell her family
doctor of these ten hungry men and how
they worried her, and he said immedi-
ately:
"Why, 1 an give you an easy remedy
for that"
She told him that she would be very
much obliged TO him for any help that
he could give her on the subject, and
moreover said that it would be worth a
great deal of money to her.
"Well," said he, "next week bake a
lot of lemon pies and see That those ten
boarders get their share of pie"
"ls that all your prescription, doctorY'
said the lady.
eyes ma'am," he replied, "and you
will find it is quite enough"
SO the next week she baked q number
of lemon pies, and she saw to it that the
ten boarders We're helped twice to pie on
tho first day. After that she noticed grad
ually that their appetites fell away, and
Mt tho end of That week there was an
unmistakable diminution in the bill for
provisions required for that boarding
house.
The lemon pie diet was continued un-
til the boarding house became as profita-
bic as it had previously been Improbable.
1t is not within my power to say exactly
how the lemon pie acts on the average
boarder, but it is certainly q fact hat in
this case the lemon pies produced what
no other system of dieting could accom-
plish. This recipe may be of use to some
of thed down trodden boarding house mis-
tresses.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

She Wished to Sell a Library.

One of our most genial auctioneer's
eyes have n half wicked twinkle as he
relates a good one" which was play
ed on him the past week. He was
tired and the weather was sultry, but
when he came into dinner his amiable
wife said that Mrs. A. had called and
wanted him TO come over to her house
right away, as she had some books to
sell.
20, thunder" said he: "I can't go
over there now; it's hot and a good
half mile"
80, but you must, my dear; 1 as
sured her you would come over at
once after dinner"
Dinner over, the auctioneer posted
otftothe lady's house, where something
like tho following dialogue ensued:
Auctioneer-Mrs. A, I understand
you have some books you want to
sell.
Mrs. 40, yes; how much will
you give me for them7
Auctioneer-Well, really, Mrs. A,
l should have to see them. Where are
they7
Mrs. 40, they are not picked up
yet, but they r around the house and
| want to dispose of them. How much
do you think you could give7
Auctioneer-Well, what are they
and how many of them2
Mrs. A.-Well, Ican't tell exactly,
but my husband says there are three
singing books, two biographies and
an arithmetic, anyway.-Worcester

A French chemist claims to have
discovered an artificial substitute for
silk. Nitrated cellulose is the base of
this new silk. The cellulose is rem
dered soluble by the acid of certain
chemicals. 1t assumes a certain con-
sistency in the acidulated water and
can be drawn out by a regular move
ment: The thread thus formed must
be dried quickly, as it passes through
a recipient in which dried air mot
heated c~irculates freely and may be
reeled off when dry. The flament
thus obtained is gray or black, and a
great number of soluble colorinp sub
stances may be introduced into the
etherized solution, in order to obtain
ilament of various colors. The fila
ment so produced is transparent,
supple, cylindrical or hattened, and
silky to the touch, the breaking strain
being twenty-five kilos per square mil
limeter. 1t is not affected by acids or
alkalies of average strength, by hot or
cold water, alcohol and acetic ether.
Spun glass, which has been known for
SO long, Is not a more wonderful pro-
duct than spun cellulose, but the lat
ter may be applied in many o
ways than the former New York

Out On n Yolo county ranch n few
years ago a small band of hogs were
confined in n lot fenced in with logs. In
II part of the fence there was n hollow
log, shaped something like n joint of
stovepipe, one opening being inside the
lot and the other outside. One day an
intelligent porker discovered this fact
and thereafter went out and returned at
his own pleasure. Tho owner of the
ranch happened to witness the mode of
egress of the hog ono day and decided
to put up a job on him. BY Slowing the
log around n little he so contrived as to
place both openings of tho log inside the
lot. In n few moments the hog ran up
to his usual exit and passed through the
log. Imagine his surprise when he
walked out the other end Of the log and
found himself still inside the lot. He
looked about in n puzzled way, scratched
his ear and tried again. Same result.
well, I'll DO DANCED" grunted the hog,
Again no ran into the log and ran out
again with the same result. He became
wild with rage and dashed through the
log so often and SO fast that the smoke
began TO issue from the cracks. Then
he gave it up as n bad job, and, SO the
owner of the hog says, never went near
h fence until the day of his DEATH

The Swiftest Fish.

I asked an old salt the other day
which was the swifter, a flying fish or
a dolphin. why, a dolphin, of
course 1 have seen it proved. One
day our ship was in the doldrums
near the equator, and all hands were
lolling about deck grumbling and
whistling for a breeze. 1 had just
gone aloft, and, standing upon the
topgallant crosstrees, with my body
resting upon the royal yard, was look
ing off on the starboard beam. / saw
a flying fish spring up out of the
water, followed by a dolphin, and both
made straight for the ship. When they
arrived at the vessel the dolphin went
under and the flying fish went over,
dropping square into the dolphin's as
he struck the water on the other side
The ship drew eighteen feet of water
and only about nine feet above water,
SO l say, in this case, the dolphin was
the swifter fish. "-Martha's Vineyard

Experiments have been made at the

officers of the government with n
boiler furnished with tubes having

of the Red Cross association during

Lfk an eagle few the train,
In the warm November rain,
Through The sunny southern lann,
Blasted nov on every hand
By the fever's scorching breath,
booming multitudes to death.
Guaranteed on every side
Was Macclenny, where had died
Many n doctor, many a nurse,
Till It seemed as II a curse,
Dark as the Almighty's frown
Rested on the little town
Not an engine Stacked It's speed
To relieve the awful need,
For the order stern was given
That b iron horse be driven
At his very swiftest pace
Through the fever stricken place.
But there came an evening, when
'Mong the passengers were men
Wearing on their breast the sign
OF a ministry divine
Just n simple cross, blood red,
On a fair white surface spread;
Emblem that they knew no fear,
Counted not their own lives dear,
Ready were for sacrifice,
Coming In whatever guise-
Famine, pestilence or flood,
Or other IN allowed Of God.
Women, too, the symbol wear;
In Its name they boldly dare

Mingling with the means of pain,

Leaping from the train for Him.

So again the land was made
Joyous with the bloom of health;

OF a love poured forth as free

For that single evenings ride,
