The Bear Enjoyed 1t.


Lawrence Talman, q young man about Is
years of age and son of william Talman, went
out from his fathers wood camp, about six
miles northeast OF town, to look for the cows
He had only proceeded about quarter OF q
mile from the camp, when suddenly there
stepped out from behind big log an ordinary
black bear. Now, ordinarily the black bear OF
this Northwest country can always be depended
upon to take to his heels at the sight of q man.
Young Talnan, however. concluded that he
had not lost any bear. Since this particular
one did not show any disposition to 60, he con.
cluded that he would go, ana that he would no,
s,rest upon the order of his going" end he went,
and 10 his horror the bear started after him. He
soon became convinced that he was no match
for bear on foot. and he Skinned up small
sapling The bear came up to within about
thirty feet of the tree, and there quietly sa,
down to rest and refresh himself. apparently
upon anticipation. Lawrence finally succeeded
in making himself heard at the camp, when
Marion Ewing. who is employed there, wen,
out to see what the row was Upon his approach,
this time the bear shuffied off. He had gun al
the camp, but no ammunition, and was CON-
PEELED to let him get away. Lawrence Is now
perfectly satisfied that bear can always be
counted upon to run-one way or the other, al

rossI BILITIKs OF AGRrCULrURE

In the August Forum is an able paper
from the pen of Prince Krapotkin under
the above caption. 1t is chiefly intended
as refutation of the Malthusian theory
that population is steadily and inevitably
tending toward point beyond the possi-
bility of production TO supply its wants.
This theory OF Nautilus has been contro-
verted by a number of able writer's, and the
concensus of intelligent opinion is against
Its acceptance.
Ii any doubts are still entertained on the
subject, they must be set at rest by the
statistics furnished by Krapotkin, which
without reference to the Malthusian theory
are interesting and instructive. He UNDER
takes TO show, and succeeds most happily.
that If the population of civilized commu-
mites were increased ten fold the possibili-
ties of agriculture can be made fully equal
to an abundant supply of their wants.
And the facts adduced in regard to ascer-
tanned results of intensive culture greatly
encourage belief that by proper methods
agriculture can be made to pay" and that
quite literally.

their several vocations. the present gross
product could be realized by an average
expenditure of three hours labor per day.
But our labor system and our system OF
distribution originated under conditions
that recognized law of force. the rule OF
the strongest, might makes right" With
the advance of civilization and the spread
of education these conditions have been
somewhat changed. To some extent the
gulf between the laborer and the appropri-
ator of natures bounties has been bridged.
To great extent the proportion allotted to
labor Of the joint product Of labor and cap
ital has been enlarged.
But still the demands for rent, and for
the use of capital in aid of production and
distribution are SO exacting that more
hours are necessarily expended in labor
than are at all proportionate to the legiti-
mate demands for its products for con-
sumption and use. Gradually. however. as
the laborer has been educated and elevated.
the proportion of his time which must be
spent in toll in order that he may live has
been reduced, and his portion of the pro-
duct of his labor has been increased.
And now 1t has become one of the fore
most questions of the day, to which there
can be no excuse for postponing an answer.
whether any man should be required to
tell more than one-third of his time to earn
livelihood. Greatly as the modes OF living
have improved. and much as the comforts
of life and the list of human wants hav.
multiplied. it is notorious that improve
ment in methods and increase In produc-
tiveness of labor have far more than kept
pace with them, and that If all who have to
be housed, fed, clothed and otherwise sup
pied with the qualification of their wants,
and who are physically able to work, were
to exert themselves for eight hours day.
the product would far more than satisfy
the needs of all.
1t is not necessary or desirable that all
should thus labor, nor is it necessary or
desirable that those who do labor should
be compelled to toll to an extent that will
deprive them of their fair share of the en-
joyments of our advancing civilization.
Eight hours for labor. eight hours for rest
and recuperation, and eight hours for re-
creation, self-improvement and the ENJOY
ment of home or social intercourse. is by no
means unreasonable. On the contrary, in
its eIeyating and ennobling effects on a
great mass OF the community, it cannot
but insure to the inestimable betterment OF
the general public welfare.

The mystery surrounding the muir.
der Of Mrs. MettiTnan, whose body
was found horribly mutilated in the
river n short time ago, seems likely
to be unraveled. The Times will
print tomorrow a letter from Suspect
Benson TO his wife, and an affidavit
made by Mrs. Runtzohn, the daugh-
ter Of the murdered woman. Ben
son admits criminal intimacy with
Mrs. RuntZDhn- The letters con-
tain a horrible intimation about
Mettiman. The husband was guilty
of incest with his daughter and the
latter wanted the mother out Of the

Zohn acknowledges relations with
Benson and states that she gave him
money after this murder had been
committed, but denies any knowl-

NEW ORLEANS, April Gov.
ernor Nichols has received the fol.
lowing from Bayou Sara: ave have
beep overwhelmed by the storm and
rain. Crevasses are numerous
along the front. The old Morganza
levee is broken. Send boat at once
to save the people, or there will be
great loss OF life.''
Governor Nichols at once made
arrangements with the owners OF
the steamer arthur LANDER and a
barge, then at Baton Rouge. The
boat started Immediately, with
harges, TO render assistance. Other
boats will be sent up tonight.
Governor Nichols was interviewed
this evening and stated that Cap
tain jackson, president Of the Inter-
national Transportation Company,
had placed two steamers with
harges, At his disposal. He had ac-
eepted them, and they mrs now en-
route for Morganza. He stated that
he had also telegraphed to Captain
Wheeiock and Captain John A.
Grant Of the Southern Pacific, ne-
questing the use OF the steamer So
ciety. The Texas x Pacific officials
in this city are in great fear Of an
overflow Of their lines which Traverse
The MCrganza country.
The suffering In Pointe Coupe is
terrible. Ii is reported that the
people are resorting TO trees for
safety. Skiff-loads of people are
passing through and over the in
undated street, seeking safety on
the hills. The situation in Bayou
Sara is frightful. Not house in
town is above the flood. The break
at Morganza is now 4e0 feet wide,
and no doubt will soon eat its way
down to New Morgan. There are
three breaks between Bayou Sara
and Morgan. and the river is wash
ing over the levee along the entire
line.
