"The cub looked so cute" said tht
teamster, Lying there with its paws
dropping over the edge of the rock
watching the horses as they came up
Presently the old bear came bounding
back to the cub, and, giving 1t a nudge
with her nose, started mp the mountain
again, expecting the young one to fol

But the cub made no move. The
old bear then came back the second
time, and, taking up the cub in hel
arms. gave him several cuffs.

followed the old bear in a gallop up the
side of the mountain.

The Name of Smith.

A man who has inherited the name

such patronymics as Flantagenet, or
MOntmorenci. or DetereauN. ! have
often wished that / might change my
name to De Courcy, or De We're, or
some such specimen of fine old Nor
man nomenclature; but somehow |
have become attached to my name, and

as it is the only one | ever had. ] have
become in a measure identified with it;
then, too, it would seem ungrateful td
cast off a name that has served me
faithfully for a number of wears There
are many people who think there is
something infinitely amusing about
the name of Smith Whenever / am
introduced to one of these humOrists,
he always says: What name? OH
seems to me | have heard that name
before;' and then he laughs and hugs
himself as who should say: by me
halidome, in good sOoth | am a merry
wight" The popularity about this
remark is that every comedian who
fires it at you imagines that it is en-
tirely original, and he actually expects
you to laugh. [ used to smile amiablv
when people said it to me, but after
meeting 1000, 0l6 people, and hearing
in each instance the same old moss

on me.
There is another disadvantage en-
dured by man whose name is Smith
People are always meeting you and
saying: Hello! Thought you were
dead" | have had number of men
extract funeral notices from their
pocketbooks and endeavor to convince
me that | must be dead; that my cor
poreal presence was due to some occult
science. A man owed me some money
once. | don't remember how the debt
happened to be that way, but it was,
and, do YOU know, he met me on the
street and actually refused to pay me,
because he produced from his pocket a
notice of my death, or of some person
bearing my name. He threatened to
hand me over to the police as an inn
poster unless l would sign a receipt in
full, then and there. What could | do?
Then | have such a time with my
mail. / get any number of bills be-
longing to some other fellow, and per-

which l have referred. Now, if man

if the enemy will dismount fifty men

The idea of fighting filled both of them;

pay any attention to the position where
the enemy was to be met, further than to
secure barrier against the charge of the

been among them but month, and who
with the eye of an experienced soldier
was able at once to seize upon the posi-
tons in the vicinity which nature had
made strong against attack from below

His simple reasoning went direct to
their understanding.

They Might Have Been.

In a little village some twelve miles
distant from Cleveland, Ohio, there
lived, some thirty years ago, two very
attractive girls. To one of these Presi-
dent Hayes became a suitor, but the
parents of the young lady vigorously
opposed the courtship, on the ground
that young Hayes was poor, and gave
evidence of hardly sufficient ability to
warrant risking their daughters fu-
ture. The match was broken off. and
the lady Is to-day married aud well
known IN Cleveland society. The other
young lady had received many atten-
lions from young Garfield, and was
quite disposed to reciprocate them.
Her parents, however, objected to their
intimacy, giving as a reason for their
opposition the poverty of Garfield and
the anything but bright prospects of
his future. The chief coincidence of
these courtships consists in the fact
that Redford, where both these Young
ladies lived, contained at the time less
than five hundred inhabitants. and
both refused two future Presidents of
the United States.
