They argued that the horse had escaped

cans had got all the Offices. There were
only two small places left In the custom
house. Whether negro would get one of
these was doubtful, but they entertained
the hope that Mr.. Agnew would recognize
the Afro Americans by appointments in the
postoffice. One of the speakers said he had
seen much service in the republican party
and had supported zsalously white republi,
cans in Alexandria city for Office, but after
the election colored men were invariably
left, and as the republican vote of this city
was composed of SO per cent, colored, it was
time for that SO per cent. to vote for men in
the future who would do justice by them.

CHERISH YOUR IDEALS,
Genuine Intellectual Life Must Always
BE Personal Matter.

Genuine Intellectual Life Must Always
BE q Personal Matter.
In every community there are to be
found men and women who are steadily
moving ahead of the rank and file OF
their neighbors and companions; every
year reveals wider separation and
stamps them with more aspiring per-
sonality. Even the most unobservant
begins to feel that there is something
unusual about these marked men and
women; something which defines them
from the mass of commonplace about
them. There are men and women who
are born to rise by the possession of
some spiritual quality, some aspiration
which by it's own impulse lifts them out
of their surroundings and sets them in
new world of thought and feel.
ing. 1t is not necessary that
one should be born amid the
surroundings of refinement and culture
in order to attain the very best results
which these things have to give. 1t is
an advantage to be thus born, and to
absorb in childhood, by the unconscious
process of early education, much that
must otherwise be learned: but this is
an advantage which good many strong
natures have missed without apparently
suffering any real loss. The making of
an intellectual life is always personal
matter. Intelligence, culture and the
resources that come from these attain
ments lie within the reach of almost
every one in this country who gets a
clear vision of what he wants, and is
willing to work for it. There is some-
thing very noble and inspiring in
the spectacle, so often presented in
American communities, of boy or girl
who, by some finer quality Of character
OF mind, is steadily moving away from
commonplace life and achieving that
personal distinction which belongs to
those who live in fellowship with the
highest intellectual ideals and in COM
panionship with the finer minds of the
world. Such an aspiration is often un-
recognized by those who stand nearest
and ought to help most; is often misun-
derstood and resented as an ambition to
be better than ones fellows or ones
family; but those who have the real
quality can we'll afford to disregard this
lack of sympathy or the criticism
which comes from this kind of misin-
depreciation. A genuine aspiration is
never otherwise than noble and unset
fish, even when it draws one away from
the natural companionships Of life;
separates one, that is, not in feeling
or in sympathy or in the common
hdelities, but in taste and habit and in
tellectual companionship. No young
man or woman need live commonplace
life. There is always an open path to
the higher ranges of living for those
who are willing to take it. Cherish
your aspirations and live by them; they
are your real guides; they embody the
divine ideal Of your lite!-Christian
Union. ... " -.. -.s@.s.E ,..s.

had killed number of young cattle.
Hollywood lived in an adjoining coun-
ty, and Blackwell sent word for him to
come over and see whether he couldn't
be match for Old Clubfoot. 1t was in
November, six years ago. Hollywood
went to Blackwells, and with Black
we'll and his neighbor, Farmer, Rice,
started out after the big bear. They
came in sight of him in wild and
rocky place high in the noun
tains. He entered a thick growth
of willows, which hid him from
sight. The two farmers were
frightened so by the awful appearance
of the enormous grizzly that they would
not go any nearer the spot where the
bear was hiding, and they were not yet
within gun-shot of it. Hollywood went
on alone and entered the willows. The
report of his rife was soon heard, but
only once. Blackwell and Rice could
hear the fierce growls and snappings Of
the grizzly, and knew that Hollywood
must have been forced into a hand-to-
hand fight with the bear. In spite of
their fear they hurried forward to be Of
aid to the hunter, but before they
reached the willows out came Holly
wood, retreating backward from the
bear, which was erect on it's hind feet,
and lowered far above the hunter, who

three feet, his right foreleg having been
broken by the fall over the ledge. The
farmers went around to the foot of the
rocks and found Hollywood dead and
frightfully mangled. They found his
gun in the willows, broken in two at
the stock. It was supposed that the
bear had rushed upon Hollywood before
he was aware Of its proximity, and he
had not been able to fire more than
once before the grizzly knocked the gun
out of his hands and forced him to the
defense that had ended so disastrously.
''After the tragic ending of that hunt
Old Clubfoot was not seen again for a
long time, and it was hoped by all, and
believed by many, that the wounds poor
Hollywood had inflicted on the bear had
been fatal to the grizzly. But the hope
was baseless, for the dreaded bear put
in an appearance in the same locality
year later, and he had been having
pretty much his own way on Battle
creek, in spite Of the big price on his
head, when he was discovered one day a
few weeks ago by a trapper and hunter
named Jim Hendrix in an old stubble
field, enjoying itself hunting field mice,
a seemingly insignificant recreation for
an animal that could carry off a
yearling bull, but favorite pas
time with grizzlies. Hendrix had
probably sent more lead after and into
Old Clubfoot during all the year the
bear had run things in that region than
any other man along the creek, and he
says that he felt it in his bones that day
that he was going to bag the big beast
there and then. He crept stealthily up
in the bushes until he was within
twenty feet of the club-footed bear with
out the grizzly suspecting his presence.
Hendrix took sure aim and sent bullet
plumb in the great bears right eye.
The grizzly sprang like fash to an
erect position on his hind feet, gave
loud snort of rage and pain, and fell like
a tree to the ground, and Old Clubfoots
days were numbered.
"When the news of the killing of tho
bear got around, the farmers had a days
public rejoicing. The five hundred dol
lars was paid to Hendrix. He found
eleven bullets of different shapes and
sizes in various parts of the bear when
he dressed it, all of them encysted,
showing that they had been carried
about by Old Clubfoot for years. The
figures they gave me as to the weight of
the bear seemed incredible to me, but
they declared that they were true-2, 300
pounds. The largest grizzly ever
heard of before this one weighed 1900
pounds, and was considered mammoth

A Strange Belief Existing In the Western
Part Of the Dark Continent.

A Strange Belief Existing In the Western
Part Of the Dark Continent.
BY all the tribes of these three lngual
groups the indwelling spirit is believed
to afford some protection to man. 1t
the anniversary of each individuals
day of birth is held as a dav sacred to
the spiritual tenant. On this account
the krG may be regarded in some re-
spects as guardian spirit, dwelling in
the body of the man; but it is more
than that Its close connection with
the man himself is indicated by the fact
of it's nocturnal adventures during its
absence from the body being remem-
bered by the man when he awakes.
The latter even feels physically the ef-
fects of his kra's actions; and when the
negro awakes from sleep feeling stiff
and unrefreshed, or with limbs aching
from muscular rheumatism, he in
variably attributes these symptoms to
the fact of his kra having been engaged
in some struggle or some severe toll.
If, moreover, man dreams of other
men, he believes that his kro has met
theirs; consequently, the kra is held to
have the outward appearance of the
man whose body he tenants. Hence the
kra is more than mere tenanting or
guardian spirit. He has, though doubt
less only in q shadowy form, the very
shape and appearance of the man; and
both the mind and body of the latter
are affected by and register the results
of the kra's actions. Major A. B. Ellis,
in Popular Science Monthly.
