Bruin Put to Flight by a Dog.

Ben Moore, Montana boy, was herd
ing his fathers sheep, and had for
companion little black-and- tan terrier
which some friend had sent him from
the East. He was lying on the ground,
half asleep, when the sheep became
frightened, and on looking up to see the
cause'of the commotion, found cinna-
mon bear facing him. He turned to
run. but had gone only a few steps when
he fell into a hole. Before he could
climb out the bear seized him, and COM
menced to hug him vigorously. Ben
had knife, but he could not reach it,
as his arms were pinioned to his side.
At this critical time the terrier, who
had never seen a bear, sunk his sharp
teeth into Bruins hind leg. The bear
dropped the boy and turned on the dog;
but he might as well have tried to catch
fly. The terrier nipped him at will,
and while the bear was dancing around
in frenzy, Ben got out his knife, and
gave him an occasional dig. The enter
tainment proved too lively for Bruin,
and he actually turned and fled, the ter
rier barking at him triumphantly..-

How a Man from Indiana Surprised Il New

How Man from Indiana Surprised New
York Smart Aleck.
I have a friend in New York who
thinks that he can tell man who didn't
live in New York from ''New Yorker"
without ever making a mistake. l held
that he couldn't, and proposed trial of
his ability. We were standing on the
corner of Broadway and Fourteenth
street at the time. Two gentlemen
stood on the opposite corner. One was
nattily dressed in the latest style, with
clothes that fitted like a postage-stamp
on letter, and patent-leather shoes
that shone like new buggy; the other
had on an out-of-date straw hat a paper
collar and shoes size too big for him.
"Well," said 1 to my friend, "are those
New Workers standing over on the OPP
posite corner?" 'Why, the one in the
silk hat is said my friend; nobody
could mistake that. Look at his style
and general bearing and the AT home'
way in which he looks about
him. I'll wager every cent l have
that he is a New Yorker born and

straw hat?" "Why, he is some Jay
from Podunk, just getting the country
dust rubbed out of his eyes. Where did
he get that hat, do you suppose; and
look at the dazed way in which he looks
around him." just then the two sepa-
rated. The man with the silk hat
sauntered down Broadway and the sup
posed 'iay'' came to our corner. Nov
ask him." said my friend. / stepped up
to the man and said: 81 beg your par
don, but where is the gentleman from
to whom you were talking just now?"
The man looked surprised and then
said: "Why, he's from Greencastle,
Ind" "And, if not too impertinent, might
I ask if you are from there, too?" "No,"
said the man; II live in Brooklyn"
My friend was the most surprised man
ever saw. In these days of steam and
telegraph people who live in cities Of
any respectable size have the same
fashions and pretty much the same man
ners as those who live in the largest
cities.-springfeld (Mass.) Republic

AMERICAN STABILITY.
The Practical Character of Democracy In
tho ITDifeI States.

The Practical Character of Democracy In
the United States.
Nothing establishes the republican
state save trained capacity for self-gov-
eminent, practical aptitude for public
affairs, habitual soberness and temper
ateness of united action. When we look
back to the moderate sagacity and stead
fast, self-contained habit of self-govern-
ment of the mon to whom we owe the
establishment of our institutions in the
United States, we at once are made
aware that there is no communion be-
tween their democracy and the radical
thought and restless spirit called by that
name in Europe. There is almost moth
ing in common between popular out
breaks, such as took place in France at
her great revolution and the establish
ment of government like our own. Our
memories of the year 1889 are as far as
possible removed from the memories
which Europe retains of that pregnant
year. We manifested one hundred years
ago what Europe lost, namely, self-com-
mand, self-possession. Democracy in
Europe, outside of closeted Switzerland,
has acted always in rebellion as de-
structive force; it can scarcely be said
to have had, even yet, any period of Or
ganic development. 1t has built such
temporary governments as it has had OPP
pOrtunity to erect on the old founda-
| tions and out of the discredited materi-
ais of centralized rule, elevating the
peoples representatives for a season to
| the throne, but securing almost as little
as ever of that everyday local self-gov-
eminent which lies so near to the heart
of liberty. Democracy in America, on
the other hand, and in the English col.
truly organic growth. There was moth
ing revolutionary in its movements; it
had not to overthrow other politics; it
had only to organize itself. 1t had not
to create, but only to expand self-gov-
eminent. 1t did not need to spread
propaganda: it needed nothing but to
methodize its way of living.
In brief, we were doing nothing essen.
TALLY new century ago. Our strength
and our facility alike inferred in our
traditions; those traditions made our
character and shaped our institutions.
Liberty is not something that can be
created by document; neither is it
something which, when created, can be
laid away in document, a completed
work. 1t is an organic principle-a
principle of life, renewing and being
renewed. Democratic institutions are
never done; they are like living Tissue,
always a-making. 1t is a strenuous
thing, this of living the life of free
people; and our success in it depends
upon training, not upon clever inven
tion.-WoodroW Wilson, in Atlantic.

Hot Water for Wrinkles.

A very beautiful, though no longer
youthful, society woman owes the pres
ervation of her charms to little habit
she has of lying down when dressed for
the evening with cloth wrung out of
hot water pressed closely over the entire
surface of her face, and allowing it to
remain there half an hour. ALI the
wrinkles are, she claims, smoothed out
of her face by this process, which is in
striking contrast to the way the average
woman flies into clothes for an evenings
outing, hurries the crimp all out of her
hair while the carriage waits. covers her
hot, tired FACE with polka dots of powder

nymph, her pink dress telling white in
the soft light of the summer night. He
had almost caught up with her when he
stumbled and fell over the protruding
root of an old tree. She fleeing breath
less, came suddenly upon her father and
mother, who, having returned from their
drive, had alighted from the carriage at
the gate, and walked across the lawn.
They stood now hand in hand, looking

Millicent stood and looked at them,
with sudden tears yelling up into her
eyes. They turned and saw her, just as
Jacob came up, somewhat confused at
the new situation.
Mrs. Fuller spoke first. "Why, Mil
licent, is Mr.. Raus here? thought he
had gone"
"Why, yes, Jacob, we thought you had
gone," said Mr.. Fuller, with an nnex-

friends son, awakened by Mrs. Fuller's
treating him as stranger in calling him
Mr.. Raus. The good gentleman had felt
no sympathy whatever for him on &C
count of Millicent's refusal. 1t had APP
peared to him great impertinence that
he should propose to take his daughter
so far away.
Jacob stood silent. Millicent took her
| fathers hand, and, throwing one arm
around his neck, kissed him. This ac-
ton, which conveyed nothing but his
daughters affection for himself to the
old gentleman's mind, explained the
whole situation to Mrs. Fuller, who was
not unprepared when her daughter, turn
ing to her, clasped her in her arms and
said:
"Yes, dear mamma, Jacob is here
