Tender Hearted.

Bears were 50 numerous III the early settle
ment Of Ohio that one man has been known
to kill sixty-tive in a sing season; but the
war of determination greatly reduced their
numbers in a few years. Mr. Barker, of
Athens, relates the following hunting incident
of pioneer times:
Chris Stevens and German named Heck
were hunting one day, and freed bear in a
large poplar not far from Stevens house.
The bear climbed nearly to the top Of the
tree, which was very tall. The hunters had
but one gun between them, and Stevens was
to shoot. He leveled his piece, took aim and
then waited as if taking a more careful
sight.
Heck waited anxiouIy for his companion
to fire. Out of patience, he at length e1-
claimed: "Why don you shootF'
Stevens, who was a very kind hearted
man, deliberately lowered his gun and said:
Il can't bear to see the poor thing fall 50
farrn
''Ain't you soft oneT' exclaimed the Ger
man. ''Gif me de gun den-I shoots him if
he falls NIT de ground till tousand feet"
He seized the gun and Bruin soon came
tumbling down.-Y ouths' Companion

In Vine street cable car, the other day,
were an old gentleman with an ear trumpet
and a very psetty young woman, acoompa-
MED by a little boy. She smiled at intervals
on the boy and showed her pretty teeth in a
be~itching way. All at once the old man,
in the way peculiar to 50 many deaf people
who do not know how to modulate their
voices, said, in tones so loud as to be audible
all over the car: Il only paid S. for my up

that the pretty woman was mad is putting IL
mildly She fiounced around with flush Of
anger blazing in her cheeks, and signaled the

Pathetic Burial of All Indian Girl.

"Plenty Corn was sweet little Indian
girl, writes the Rev. j. C. Ryder to The
American Missionary, who attended the
mission at Fort Bertnold. She had won her
way wonderfully into .he hearts of the teach
ers, and when she died there were sorrowful
hearts in the mission as truly as in the Indian
tepee. The parents had been reached also by
the influence Of the mission. They permitted
the missionary to lay the body in a coffin.
The Indians took up the little white casket
and bore it to the boat in which it was to be
taken across the Missouri river. The father
rowed the boat as the mother sat on the OPP
posite bank waiting for her dead darling, and
from the boat there went up the piteous wall
ing of the father. which was echoed back
from the be>,k "a the piteous wall of the
mother.

Archbishop Janssens' Letter.

On last Sunday WAS read in st. Jo-
seph's Catholic Church Archbishop
Janssens' first pastoral letter. 1t was
a pastoral replete with sound advice
on the subject of the education Of
the youths of the country and
sounded a note of warming to those
parents who devote SO little car to
the proper training of their children.
The archbishop brings out in a strong
light the fact that the whole founda-
ton of society rests upon the family,
and upon the heads of the family
the fathers AID mothers-devOlves the
great task of purifying and strengthen
ing the atmosphere surrounding the
family. Habits of obedience and sub
mission to parental authority should
| be inculcated in the tender minds of
children, if we would have them to
grow up as good citizens. having a
proper regard for the law and legiti-
mate civil authority.
These are wholesome counsels which
should be taken to heart By all parents
of whatever religious creed they may
be, and put faithfully into practice.
Nothing 5nt good results can come OF
such &; course. The great need OF the
age is undoubtedly more obedience
and less Observation-Disclosures obedi-
ence to the laws of religion, to the
laws Of nature, to parental authority
to the civil authority. 1t should bt
more assiduously taught that all au'
thority comes from God. if we would
argument the sum total of obedience
and lessen the amount of i~9subordina
ton in this world. And this doctrine
should be early taught to the children
of the nation by the fathers and moth
ers of the land. In the children lii

desirable, comfortable and pleasant
town to visit and to live in and it's
people are kind, neighborly and gen.

there are no street lamps to light the

darkness sets in? Is it because its
good people have never been in the
habit of being away from home after
