there was In use on shipments Of bullion, ore

per cent to the same lines. In accordance with
clause OF the old triple agreement.
After the traffic contract between the Union
Pacific and the Northwestern the division on
merchandise from Montana points allowed to
the latter road was reduced to % per cent.
The competitors OF the Northwestern were
subsequently authorized to meet this compe-
tition. The old percentage Of 19x per cent
was continued on bullion. ore. and matte. but
recently oil the Eastern connections OF the
Union Paclfl 0. including the Chicago and North

carcass of yak. Taking gun from
one of my men fred at 1t, breaking its
shoulder. When my men saw what I
had shot at they turned and beat a
hasty retreat, shouting to me to run,
that the wild man" might not devour
me. Another shot, better aimed, put
an end to the bear, but not to the
fright to my Mongols, who even then
would not approach. Our failure to
skin my prize nearly broke my Tientsin
servants heart, for by it he lost the
chance to secure the gall, a much
valued medicine in China, and worth
eight or ten ounces Of silver In any
drug shop. Mongols and Thibetans at
tack a bear only when they are strong,

one of these dreaded monsters alone
seemed feat of great daring, and the
story was told to every Thibetan we met
afterward as proof positive of my
dauntless courage.-W. Woodville Rock
