Tho Extremely Cool Proceedings of
 Two Montana Cowboy Hunters.
 From the Glendne (Mont.) Independentl
 As Hank Cusker, the famous bronoho
 in the employ of the MN outfit were driving
 bunch of horses from the head of Big Dry
 to the roundup they encountered four griz-
 Ely bears They determined to make 1t as
 interesting for the quartet as possible and in-
 stantly gave chase, armed with their lariats
 only. After chasing them couple of miles
 and getting them separated they closed in on
 two of the ferocious beasts and proceeded to
 use their skill as rope-throwers in very
 novel manner. They did their respective
 acts simultaneously and with precision, one
 catching his bear around the neck and the
 other surprised his by roping hind leg.
 Then the fun commenced, 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 tractabls again. Cusker having caught his bear by the neck soon had his bearship in 8 strangling eondi- ton, and with his usual courage proceeded to time him as he would have done with steer or bronco, and he eventually succeeded in his intended purpose. In the meantime McNaney wes doing his best to interest his charge and no doubt did so.
 After making sure of his victim Cusker had great curiosity to know how McNaney 1 was getting along with his protege and inn mediately started to hunt him up. He suc- l eeeded in finding him shortly ,and his sur vices were welcome, as the bear, being l caught by the hind leg, had full control of ! his lung power and was making day hideous by his enragsd cries Cusker then under l took to do the tying act with this one, and, l becoming very bold after the experience l with the other one, he proceeded at his vic tim without fear, and got a couple of good rounders from the bear to pay for his im- | patience. However, they were not very severe strokes, and after dodgipg around awhile they succeeded in getting a rope around hia neck sRd then made short work | of him.
 The only knife they had was very small | penknife, but they were bound to have the | belts, and after working hard for a couple of I hours succeeded in securing their skins. l When they had despatched the two beasts ! they became quite bloodthirsty and wanted ! to do some more killing, but the other two bears had made hasty retreat into the Bad l Lands and could not be found, 50 they pro- oeeded on to the ranch. They took their skins to Wolf Point, and will have them tanned to preserve for heirloons.

Quiet Life at wtesbadsn.

The life of the empress of Austria, who is
 at present undergoing "oure" at Wiesba-
 den, is simple in the extreme. The people
 respect her peouliarities. Even before her
 malady had taken the acute form which it
 now shows she was avsrse to crowds; to be
 stared at made her positively i'll. A few
 years ago she spent the summer at the fla
 nous Schloss Hotel, in Heidelberg, and fear
 ing the curiosity of the students and masses,
 requested the mayor and rector to intercede
 in her behalf. The behests were so. rigidly
 regarded that she was unmolested, fact which induced her to send letter of thanks to the ''good people of Heidelberg" upon her departure. A request to the inhabitants or Wiesbaden was unnecessary. She rises at six o'clock in the morning and takes prom, enade in the forest, generally accompanied 1 by her gifted daughter, the ArchduGness Valerie. After returning to the vlila Lan- qenbeck, where she is living, she drlves 70 Tr Mezeer. to receive the massage. when | it is ended she bathes in the healing waters ne tha Kochbrunnen and then takes her braakfast. A second walk in the forest fol lows. from which she returns at half past nine After dinner she goes again to the Tannus forest, accompanied always by the Arcf,dnchess Valerie and her fance, Arch dnke Sslvator Their destination is usually a small hut in the middle of the woods, where the empress is accustomed to drink several glasses of fresh milk. which is one of hex faYorite beverages.

A Romantic incident.

Jos. Duquette, the Oldest convict at Jack
son prison, arrived from Detroit in 1883 and
served twelve years in solitary confine-
ment OF late years he has been regarded
in the light of trusty employe. He is III
years Of age.
A few days ago his son, Joseph Duquette,
Jr., of Walkerville, Ont, arrived and call
ed on the old man at the prison. He was
born u week after his father S sentence and
knew only few weeks ego that the Old
man was living. DuquCtte senior did not
know he had a son, and the interview be-
tween the two, after the son had proved
his identity, was romantic and touching.
Jackson Duquette was a r0ustabout on
the steamer Dart. He married the female
cook, VINO had a child by her former hus-
band. Io killed tie child with burning
hot iron as punishment. He lived in
Detroit ut the time. The boy was raised
by friends, who told him his father was
dead. The old mans mind is very much
impaired.
The governor will be asked to pardon the
father as the son promises TO care for him
as long as he lives. The wife sud mother
has been dead eight years. Young Du-
quette has wife and son at Walkerville,
and is well TO do.

ed: One of the gang drives up TO the
farmer house and requegts permission 10
store in the b I'm number of pitchforks of
inferior quality. A permission beng
granted the farmer il told that the forks
comprise the last of large consignment
and will be sold ut very low figures IN
order To close transaction. A tempting
offer is then maze OF fifty per cent com
mission TO the farmer upon any sales made
while tho forks are temporarily in his
charge, and long agreement, most OF
which is in fine print and alleged to be
only stipulation as 10 commission, is in
most cases signed by the tempted tiller OF
the soil, who neglects TO read the paper
circfully and learns when too late that he
has contracted to buy the worthless forks
at an eXhorbtant figure. Don't sign any

lround about five feet square, used for q
lellar. A large pool of blood was discov
pred on the Boor near tho trap door, on
raising which the horrible discovery was
made OF the bodies Of mother and son.
They were both shot in the back OF the
heads with buck-shot the charge passing
clear through and nearly tearing the heads
from the trunks. The son appeared to
have been dragged some distance through
the mud, which leads 10 the superstition
that the mother was killed in the house,
her body being thrown in the hole first, the
s0n meeting his death outside and thrown
in after Neghbors remember 10 have
heard two shots fired in the direction
where tho murder occurred. AS yet there
is no direct clue, although there is gen
