A Glacier Dam Bursts,

The Marielen lake. which lies at the
foot ofthe Eggischhorn, in the upper
Nalais, had burst the glacier dam
which lay across the valley. and
spreading over the glacier had poured
n black mass of mud. stones and
broken ice into the Rhone below.
Fortunately there was little water in
the river at the time, otherwise the
consequences might have been very
calamitous for the people of the up.
per Nalais. a peasant who was close
to the lake at the time declares that
the scene was most terrible and in
describable. When the ice dam gave
way the vast mass of water came
tumbling out, sweeping away the
huge fragments of the glacier, with
the rocks upon it, tumbling into the
crevasses, bursting them up in turn,
and rising over the glacier, in gigan-
tic waves, again to carry all before
it.
Just Mt the end of the glacier the
valley had narrowed into little de-
file, while the face OF the glacier was
some hundreds of feet high. The
water seemed to have tunn sled under
the ice, which attacked above and
below, gave way Mt last with n deaf
ening crash, while the food hurried
+ down the mountain side into tn,
/ Rhone. The lake was nearly 5000
I feet above the sea level, and usual!
discharged its surplus water by sub
terranean channels, OCCASIONAL!
bursting its ice barriers, as on tn
present occasion. The cantonal gov
eminent are constructing an over
! flow cuual, which it is hoped will pu
an end to these periodical outbursts

A New Bear Story.

From the Anaconda Standard.
Everett Paxson, A. Rudolph, Will
Morris and Julius Jacobs, brother OF
City Treasurer Jacobs, returned from
Yellowstone Park, where they have
been fishing, hunting and loafing for
five weeks. They are as bronzed as
Indians and as fruitful in yarna ne
sailors. They killed car loads q
small game, all of which was shipped
East. AS to large game, many bears
were seen, but the gang fought shy
of them.
Julius Jacobs, however, had
wonderful adventure with a bear,
which is worth recording. On horse
back he rode some distance from the
camp and got away from his COM
panions. lettering his horse to
tree in the dense forest, he cast his
eagle eye around for game, and when
several rods from his horse he de-
serted an immense bear glaring him
full in the face. Jacobs wasn't load
ed for bear. If he had been it would
have been a simple and ordinary
bear story. The bear wasn't very
troublesome, but whenever Jacobs
started to retreat bruin would ad-
vance few PAGES towards him.
If he advanced toward the bear,
the bear would show his teeth
and retreat few steps. Thus, with
considerable man9uyering, about
the same relative positions were
maintained. Jacobs searched all his
pockets for a suitable weapon, and
finally found a tenpenny nail. A
bright idea seized him, and he care
fully drew the bird shot from his gun
and loaded it up with the tenpenny
nail. The bear was standing with
his tail against the trunk of a tree.
Jacobs took careful aim, fired and
nailed the bears tail fast to the tree.
The bear was now unable to advance
toward Jacobs and he retreated in
| safety to where his horse was tether-
. ed.
c Arrived at this point another
+ brilliant idea struck Jacobs. He
I took his riding whip and returned to
s the scene of the adventure. He be-
. gan faying the bear with the whip,
= in spite of the bears bowls and pro-
e tests. Finally the hide was so loos-
] ened that the bear jumped clear out
of his skin and made his way into
the woods with yells of distress. ia,
o cobs calmly drew the nail from the
tree, slung the skin over his shoulder
mounted his horse and returned to
camp.
Unfortunately, while the caravan
k was crossing the Jefferson river The
Is bear skin tumbled off and was lost
:, Jacobs, however, still has the ten
Y penny nail and can show it.

What She Feared.

The car was filled with excursion
lists. Every seat contained pair o.
lovers. The last bear died in Ohio
some time ago, but the art Of hug
cling has survived. 1t was the mid
night express and the air was right
chilly, but not soul noticed that
except poor little married man who
sat alone in the half seat by the un'
lighted stove. He looked down the
car and noticed that apparently all
the young men were one-armed; at
Ieast but one arm of each male was
visible. The light in the car was very
low, however. and that may account
for the phenomenon.
Lovers like twilight; if Adam and
Eve did not sing 'In the Cleaning
it was because they new a fresher
song. And it was twilight in that
car, for all three double lamps were
turned down very low, and before the
train was out of the Allegheny yards

How to sweep a store.

We don't use II leaky old sprink-
ling pot to sop the fioor all over in
puddies when we sweep. No, sir, We
have wet sawdust, and / put n row
of lit across one end OF the store and
sweep that right along to the other
end, Just like regiment marching
across n ten acre lot. II catches all
the dirt and carries it along. Hit
gets little dry, l add some more.
Some folSs scatter sawdust all over
the floor, but Mr.. Nanders says that's
no good, that the reason Tor using
sawdust is to avoid wetting the
floor all over and to have something
that will absorb the dust.-.Commer-
cial Enquirer.
