Kitty Hill Has Been DOdging Bullets fn
Parts of Jersey for Two Years.
There is a bear in New Jersey that
lives a charmed life She mingles more
or less with civilization, but yet is her
own mistress This is the bear that
created much havoc in Somerset, Mer-
Ger. Uunterdon and Burlington coun-
ties. and seems to be bullet proof and
trap wise. She is now giving the farm
ers of the upper part of Mercer county
a lively existence.
She is the same bear that escaped
two summers ago from the Trenton
city park under sensational circum-
stances. She was then cub, pur-
chased for the park in the PocOnO
mountains by Councilman Edmund @.
Hill, who started the little geological
garden which delights the children of
Trenton When the bear arrived at
the Clinton street station by express the
box was roughly tuInbled from the car
and fell apart
Tie cub showed her teeth, and at
once got the right of way She dashed
across the lawn and finding an opening
in the fence, entered the yard of the
hotel near the depot. She proceeded
through the kitchen and wandered
into the barroom, which >was at the
time filed. The presence of the cub
cleaned out the barroOm.
The cub followed to the street, but
met with a reception of flying brick,
and then she took refuge in the Mercer
cemetery opposite the station, where
she held the fort against several hun
dred excited men and boys, and was
finally lassOed by colored man. The
bear pit at the park was not yet ready
for the cubs reception, so she was
locked up in the barn, and the news
papers, out of admiration for the precO-
ciousness of the cub, called it Kitty
Hill, after Councilman Hill. of the park
committee.
Two days Of confinement wore Kitty's
temper and one day Kitty unattached
the barn door and walked out She
reached the canal that winds its way
in front of the park and jumped in.
The park guards gave a lively chase,
and Kitty saved her bacon by swim
ming from one side of the canal to the
other until she distanced them; then
she took to the woods. Since then she
has been a veritable tourist, and has
managed to keep out of the range of
bullets and clubs and lived on the fat
of the land.
She has disturbed the suburban
quietness of many places, but defied
all the ingenious plans of men to cap
ture her. Her appearance in Mercer
county, only a few miles from the park,
is a matter of surprise. Those who
have seen her say that she is large and
fat She is now in the great Bear
swamp, five miles above Trenton, where
she is safe unless hunger causes her to
wander. Philadelphia Press.

The slave dealers extend their activi-
ty even to the very doors of Bisllra, the
headquarters of the order Of the War
rior Monks of the Sahara, and one of
the most dramatic features OF the cere-
mOny of the conservation of the monks
was when Cardinal Lavigerie led to the
altar a little brown girl, barely nine
years old, who had succeeded in conceal
ing herself and in effecting her escape
from slave caravan passing through
the desert a few miles to the south Of
Bislra. \ sudden movement of the
child caused her to drop something
that she was holding concealed beneath
the folds Of her diebba. The venerable
prelate bent down and raised it from
the ground,
1t was Il small, dusky hand-the
hand of the little girl who stood beside
him, and which in sheer wantOn cruelty
had been cut off by her captors. Hold
ing it aloft, and pointing it southwark
toward the great Sahara, while with
his own hand he raised the child's arm,
so that all present could see the man
gled stump, the cardinal exclaimed, in
tones which seemed to ring forth as a
clarion L would to God that all Eu-
rope could see this little hand May it
serve to direct your line of march. En-
avant for God, for France and for hui
mainly !"-Harpers Weekly.

DR.. Barrowby was canvassing for the
post of one of the physicians to Bar
tholomew's hospital. With a view to
obtaining the vote of a certain infuen-
tial grocer he called upon him and
found him bursting with Importance as
he strutted up and down his shop.
With a mixture of insolent patronage
and insulting familiarity he slowly APP
preached the doctor and said, well.
my friend, what is your business?'
Barrowby paused, looked him straight
in the face, and said, II want a pound
of plums.
Greatly confused, the grocer put up
the plums, whereupon the doctor put
them in his pockeF and marched off
without asking him for his vote Lon

Substantial comfort will not grow
On natures barren soil;
All we can boast till Christ we know
Is vanity and toll

Some of you got astray by looking
for better pasturage; others by being
scared of the dogs The hound gets
over into the pasture field. The poor
things fly in every direction. In few
moments they are torn of the hedges
and they are FLASHED of the ditch, and
the lost sheep never gets home unless
the farmer goes after it. There is
nothing so thoroughly lost as a lost
sheep. 1t may have been in 1857, dur
ing the financial panic, or during the
financial stress in the fall of 1873,
when you got astray. You almost be-
came an atheist. You said, where
is God, that honest men go down and
thieves prosperY You were logged of
creditors, you were logged of the
banks, you were logged of worldly dis
aster, and some of you went into mis-
anthropy, and some of you took to
strong drink, and others of you fled out
of Christian association, and you got
astray- o man, that was the last
time when you ought to have forsaken
God.
Standing amid the laundering OF
your earthly fortunes, how could you
get along without a God to comfort you,
and God to deliver you, and a God
TO help you, and a God to save you?
You tell me you have been through
enough business trouble almost to kill
you | know it. | cannot understand
how the boat could live one hour in
that chopped sea. But | do not know
by what process you got astray; some
if you could really see the position some
of you occupy before God this morning

Wilson's, Don't eat these. Wait
till you get on the other side; there
are two rows of the best berries

A Wonderful New Berry-Originated
in Oregon-The Matteson

A Wonderful New Berry-Originated
in Oregon-The Matteson.
There has been originated in the
great strawberry region about Turn
er aud Aumsville a new seeding va.
riety, ,propagated by Matteson & Mat.
teson, at their Red Hill Berry Farm
The first berries sent to the CAPITAL
JOURNAL Office, Salem, last year
were of this variety, and they were
the most perfect fruit in every re
spect that was shown in this city
The berry is of a deep red clear
through, high flavor, yet sweeter
than most kinds. An experience in
producing the finer sorts of straw
berries, leads the editor of this paper
to say that he does not know of a
SUPERIOR BERRY IN FINENESS OF
QUALITY in every respect to
THE MATTESON.
He has secured the sole agency
from the originators and now for the
first time places limited supply on
the market. Testing the fruit, and
a description of its habits, leads the
editor of the JOURNAL to conclude
that it has exactly those qualities
that must be sought after to produce
fine berries in Oregon. 1t is of high
color, great sweetness, rich flavor,
meaty, firm, not watery, no hard
center, and exceedingly palatable.
DESCRIPTION.
The originators have been straw
berry growers for more than twenty
years and call this their "Best," be
cause they have tried many new
and highly recommended varieties
and found this to possess more de
sirable qualities than any other. The
Matteson is an accidental Seeding,
from single plant found
on Red Hill Farm six years ago. 1t
