The Goddess Coming.

There is now no doubt that the
great and beloved goddess, Pallas
Athene will make her fourth triumphal
march through the streets of Kansas
City, October ,. She is even now on
the high seas, having left her home in
the mountains more than a week ago
on her journey to the west.
The people of this city are extended
cordial invitation to witness the
great pageant on the evening of Octo-
Der 9 at Kansas City. The railroads
have all made reduced rates to the
giant young city of the southwest, and
the people of this place have the OppOr-
tunity of seeing the goddess in all her
glory, together with her gorgeous
chariOts and richly dressed attendants.

THE BEAR BACKED OFF A FEW PAGES,
yells for help continued, but the bear,
the moment it discovered that the
limb on which it was chewing was OF
good white oak, fell prey to astonish-
ment if not alarm. 1t dropped the leg,
backed off few PAGES, sat down upon
its launches and gazed at this strange
and inedible species of man. Jake
realized at once the creatures bewilder'
ment, but the crisis was such painful
one that the humor OF the situation
failed to strike him,
After a few moments of contempla-
ton the bear made fresh attack. 1t
was hungry, and perhaps thought some
other portion of Jake's body might
prove more delicate eating than hisleg.
Jake, however, gave it no chance to
try. The next hold the bear got was
upon the very end of the oaken mem
Der, where tho iron ring proved little
to its taste. 1t tried fiercely for an
other hold, but Jake, in his desperate
struggles, endowed with the strength
of his terror, succeeded in foiling it in
every attempt. At length, with the ut
most force of his powerful thigh, he
drove the end of the leg right into the
beasts open mouth, inflicting a serious
wound Blood flowed freely from the
animals throat, andA presently, after =
moment of hesitation, having probably
concluded that the morsel was not savory
enough to justify any further struggle,
the bear moved sullenly away, coughing
and whining.
Jake lay quite still till his van
pushed antagonist had disappeared in
the covert. Then he rose and wendell
his way homeward, thinking to himself
how much better his wooden leg had
served him than an ordinary one could
have done. In few minutes he was
met by some of his ellOw-townsmen,
who were fastening to find out the
cause of all the noise. To them Jake
related the adventure with great ella
ton, adding, as he concluded: "You
see, now, how every thing turns out for
the best. If hadn't lost that ere leg Of
mine this night ten year ago, I'd have
mebbe lost my head this very even
ing"
for truthfulness, his story was not be-
lieved in the village of Second West
cock 1t was voted altogether too i'm
probable, from whatever way it was
looked at. In fact, so profoundly In
credulous were his acknowledges that
Jake coule not even organize bear
hunt. Some ten days later, however,
his veracity received ample cOnfirma-
ton. A man out looking for strayed
| cattle, in the woods not more than a
couple of miles from Jake's pasture,
found a large bear lying dead in cedar
swamp. Examining the body curiously
to find the cause of death, he was
puzzled till he recalled Jake's story.
| Then he looked at the dead brute's
throat. The mystery was solved; and
the community was once for all con-
WINGED of the fighting qualities OF the
wooden leg. --Chas. G. D. Roberts, in n.
| Y. independent.

JAKE TOOK TO FLIGHT.

fellow, he made himself a new leg OF
white oak, around tho bottom OF which,
to prevent wear, he hammered a stout
iron ring.
The years went by in their usual sur
reptitious fashion, and brought few
changes to Second Westcook. One juno
evening, ten years after that on which
my story opened, Jake was driving the
cows home as usual, when once more, as
he passed the swampy thicket, he heard
that menacing growL Jake looked
about him as if in dream. There was
the same dewy smell in the air,
mingled with the fragrance of sweet
fern, that he remembered so painfully

yellow cloud over the black woods to

As before. he saw the cows breaking
into a run. In moment there was the
same dreadful crashing in the thicket-
Was he dreaming? He looked down in
bewiIderment, and his eyes fell on
the iron-shod end of his wooden leg!
That settled it Evidently he was
not dreaming, and it was time for him to
hurry home. He broke into a run, a.
rapid as his wooden leg would allow.

The question of the waterworkS for
Abilene will soon be decided. Consult
ing Engineer Eierson is expected to
return tomorrow and Will bring prop
osition definite and final from the bond
holders which lie will lay before the
city council. Pending their decision
the Company has four miles of pipe
awaiting shipment. Ii Abilene decides
to get Sand Springs water by stopping

pipe will be shipped at once. Il is now
left to the council t. decide and soon,
too. what shall he done. Abilene can
not afford any fDolishneSS. or false
economy. 1t is II matter of great i'm
portance and should lave careful
thought. The majority of the citizens
of the city are in favor of securing the
water believing that in the long run it
will be to our advantage.
The Chronicle Ia q sensible editorial
says:
The citizens Of Abilene do not want
several years litigation on their hands,
and be without water at the same
time. Much talk has been about say
ing tie city money; this will be doue
by accepting the proposition which tie
Waterwoiks company made; and the
people demand that the council take
immediate action in the matter.
The News which has had much To
say in favor of so-eaIled economy
asserts:
Our citizens want Sand Springs
water and if it is necessary for the
council to stop proceedings to anRul
the franchise 10 get it, then by all
means let it be stepped. That is pro-
vided new deal can be made giving
assurance, without doubt that We will
get Sand Springs water and nothing
else.
The newspapers are a good index OF
public opinion. The bOndhOlders guar
antee that we shall have Sand Springs
water and that the waterworks system
shall be put in perfect condition. The
council will stand in the city's light
if it does not take action to secure the
proposed benefit.

expect IN the present instance? Jake
looked over his sl1nlder and beheld
the bear hot on hi; tracks He could
have sworn it was the same bear as of
old. He made up his mind to run no
more, but to save his breath for what
he felt might be his last fight He
gave a series of terrific yells, such as he
thought might pierce even to the cor
ner grocery under the hill, and threw
himself fiat on his back on q gentle
hummock that might pass for post of
vantage.
Jake was not hopeful, but he was firm.
He thought IL would be too much to ex-
pect to come of twice victorious from q
scrape like this. He eyed the bear stern
", and it seemed to him as if the brute
actually smiled on observing that its
intended victim had not forgotten his
| ancient tactics. Jake concluded that
| the approaching contest was likely to
be fatal to himself; but he calculated
on making it at least unpleasant for the
bear.
The animal turned little to one side
and attacked his PROSTATE antagonist
in the flank, but Jake whirled nimbly
| just in time and brought down his iron
shod heel on the brute's snout. The
blow was heavy one, but that bear was
not at all surprised. If it was the bear
of the previous encounter it doubtless
argued that years had brought addition

copper piece on the outside skin over
the place where the tooth ached, and
the silver piece over and on the skin
lust in front of the middle of the ear, so
that the silver just touched the front Of
the middle Of the ear, and held both
pieces with just pressure enough to
keep them in their position. In thrce
