A True Bear Story.

Senator Watkins has beaten all his pre-
vious records as hunter. After shoot
ing pine stump which he mistook for
a wild cat, the same stump, by the way
that Isaac Joles shot dead last year un-
der the same circumstances, few days
ago the Senator met a real live CHINA
mon bear, sure enough, and gallantly let
her have the best his Winchester had
got. That it was bear and not a stump
was proved by the fact that after the
shot the animal set up most unearthly
howl as she disappeared in an adjoining
clump of brush. AS the racket contin-
ued and the Senator every moment ex-
pected, to see the bear emerge from the
thicket and go for him, he hurriedly
threw back the lever of his rifle, but the
empty shell stuck in the barrell 1t was
an interesting moment. The bear con-
tinued to howl as the senator tugged at
the empty shell and his hair would have
begun to stand on end if he had anv.
To highten the interest, four good sized
cubs dashed up a tree within few yards
of him. Then it dawned upon t. e Sem
ator that he had not lost any bear, par
ticularly as it appeared "the woods were
full of them, I" and as fast as his heels
could carry him, he struck for camp
Next morning George Anderson, Isaac
Joles and the Senator went back to the
scene of action where they found fine
large female bear stiff in death. Hel
unearthly howls were her death agony
but the cubs of course had escaped.

An accident was avoided, however, by
the stoppage of both trains, and switch
ing. the passenger on. the side track, thus
letting thee other train by. Had the pas

the freight was under very strong head

A correspondent of the Eugene Guard
who has ranch on the Sinslaw, in de-

not get there: so 1 am guessing under

that the writer used to be a truthful
man.
There is not doubt in the world that
when Portland wants an open river we
will get it and not before. So long as
that city is more enamored of the chains
of the Union Pacific than of the millions
of dollars worth of trade that naturally
belongs to her but which will go to the
cities on the Sound unless there are
lower rates on the river, SO long the
river will remain closed.
a Mr.. R. w. Crandall returned to town

"When Ismail Pashs, the extrava.
giant Khedive of Egypt, reigned over
that historlcalland," #" said an acquaint-
ance of the notorious ruler, "he had in
his garden large cage of African lions.
Noble brutes they were, and until the
event of which never tired looking
at them. One day while walking with
his Highness in the garden the keeper,
accompanied by a pretty little girl,
entered, carrying a basket of meat for
the lions. The Khedive and walked
toward the cage to watch the beasts eat
They were hungry, and pOunced upon
their food with ravenous fury that
chilled me. Standing close by the stage,
with her hands resting on the bars was
little girl, her long golden hair at
times blown by the breeze inside the
enclosure.
"'Why do you permit your daughter
to go so near the lions?' the Khedive
asked of the keeper.
Oh replied the keeper, they are
so accustomed to her they would not
hurt her.
Then open the door and put her
inside, said the Khedive.

for command it was. tried to speak
but could not, / was unable to move.
The keeper, with the submissiveness
of those who know their lives will pay
forfeit if they disobey their ruler, made
with his eyes a plea for mercy But
seeing none in the Khedive's face he
kissed the little ore tenderly, lifted
her up, opened the door placed her iu-
side, and as the door swung to he
turned his face away and groaned.

stir, seemed not afraid. The lions ap-
peared surprised, and as the largest
and hercest rose and walked toward
her [ thought L should choke. Hap
PLY, the father did not see the beast.
The Khedive alone was unmoved
and stood gazing at the scene calmly
! and with curious smile j had so often
seen play upon his features when
watching the dance of ballet. The
lion went up to the child smelled OF
her, looked at her fully half a minute
then lay down at her feet and beat the
floor with his tail.
"Another lion approached. The
first one gave an omnibus growl and
the second lion went back. The Others

five minutes, the big lion never taking
