A BOY BEAR SLAYER.
Four of the Animals Fall Before His
Rifle and He Closes with the Fifth.

Four of the Animals fail before HIS
Rifle and He Closes with the Fifth.
The hero of q 'bear" adventure is
Bert Monroe, son of Henry Monroe, OF
the valley near Helena, Mont. The
boy is about nineteen or twenty years
old, and is an enthusiastic hunter and
dead shot. Last fall, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, he killed the largest
bear that had ever been killed in this
section, and he refused seyentyliye dol
lars for the hide.
Young Monroe started out for st. Pc
ter's mission not long ago on hunting
expedition. He was after bear, and he
found more than he had bargained for.
His journey took him up toward the
head of Milk river, and while not ex-
pecting it he came face to face with
bear, which emerged from what after
wards proved to be a bears den or lair.
He had no sooner killed the bear with
his trusty rifle than another one APP
peared. He killed this one in the same
way, and the third appeared. He killed
this one also, and, before he had time to
realize that he was getting about all
the bear he caraG for in one day, bear
number four appeared. This fellow he
also killed, and there was only ono
cartridge left in his magazine. He
needed this cartridge, too, for fifth
bear, and larger than any of the other
four, came out of his den and made for
him.
He fired his last shot and though it
probably hit Bruin, 1t did not do the
business, for he came straight at him.
Monroe did not have time to get another
cartridge in his gun before the infuri-
ated beast was on him. The animal
made slap at him which sent the use
less gun flying out of his grasp, and he
| Just had time to draw his hunting knife
and give Bruin an ugly cut in the throat.
| In doing this he received severe
squeeze from the monster and fearful
bite on the shoulder.
Then he lost consciousness. IL must
have been only for few moments, how
ever, for when he came to again his
horse was between him and the bear
The latter was evidently hurt, for he
was making feeble attack upon the
horse, and was bleeding profusely from
the wound in the throat. When the
horse turned tail to his adversary, and
began to kick, the bear made off to tho
brush, leaving q trail of blood behind
Monroe found that he was hurt in his
back and side, which had been terribly
torn in his brief struggle. With Diff
Guilty he mounted his horse, which wa
quite unhurt, and rode two miles to ;
point where men were at work on rail
road grade of the Great Northern From
here he was taken to the Piegan agency
A party which went out the next day.
found the four bears which had been
killed, and trail of blood leading a
far as the stream, made by the tiftl
bear. The gun was also found where j
had fallen.

INDIAN MEASUREMENTS.
How Distances Are Computed by tit
Red Men of the West.

How Distances Are Computed by tire
Red Men of the West.
Savage people are content with units
Of measure which, though indefinite,
answer the purpose Of men who have no
use for exact knowledge, but who do
want to know what comes within the
scope of their vision, or of their ability
to travel on foot or on horseback. Their
ideas of distance will conform to the
way in which that distance is to be COW
cred.
We know how natural it is for us to
speak of places as being SO many days
journey away, and in crossing the ocean
place was so many weeks sail dis
tant until recent times. In the East
distances are reckoned by the hour, an
hour being about three miles. 1t is not
at all strange, then, to find the Indians
reckoning in similar manner.
1t is said that the Indian and half
breed canoe-men compute distances on
the water by pipes. One pipe is the
distance they can paddle In the inter-
val between the haltings they are al
lowed to make in order to have smoke.
Permission for this halt Is given by the
person in charge at intervals which
vary according to circumstances. If the
guide is indulgent, he makes the pauses
frequent; if the travellers are in hurry,
or the weather Is threatening, fewer
stops are made. A "pipe" is, therefore,
wholly indeterminate.
A portage is measured by different
standard. If the distance which the
goods have to be carried exceeds half a
mile in length, it is generally broker
by one or more pauses, which are or
dered by the person in command OF the
expedition just as the halt is called fol
asmoke. The distance travelled between
these stops for resting is called pause
This distance vii. vary according to thu
greater or less difficulty of the portage
and its length. A pause" is understood
to mean about one-third Of mile.
The Menomonee Indians of Wiscon
sin have the usage of dividing lont
distances into looks. A ''look" is tn
distance. between the person and tn
farthest object he can see in the direc
tiOn he is going. The first 'look''
taken from the point where his journe
begins. When he has reached tho OK
ject first selected, he from that poin
selects the object to which his secon
''look' is taken, and so on. 1t is need
less to point out the circumstances tina
may make this unit Of measure VI
certain. Youths Companion.

THE INDIAN MESSIAH.
A Strange Belief That Is Spreading
Among the Various Tribes.

A Strange Belief That Is Spreading
Among the Various Tribes.
For many years we have regarded the
Indians belief in Supreme being as
very vague and underlined. He has, how
ever, appeared to recognize Great
Spirit" and "happy hunting-ground,'
the home of the departed braves-a
country where beautiful prairies and
forests are abounding in game, watered
by cool streams, forming an ideal In
dian heaven. This belief, says Lieuten-
ant Mans in IIarper's Weekly, seems a
part of his nature, just as his love for
his free and savage life, which the ad-
vance of civilization is forcing him to re-
nounce. The buffalo is thing of the
past, and even the elk, the antelope
and the deer have nearly disappeared,
and he finds he must live on the bounty
of the white man or starve. For years
he has been confined to military reserva
tions, and has chafed under the re-
straint thus put upon him. Little Won
der he looks for change, and longs for
his once free life, and gladly grasps the
new belief in the red Saviour, which is
rapidly spreading to every Western
tribe, and which the great chief Red
Cloud says will spread over all the
earth"
1t seems impossible to trace the exact
origin of this Indian faith. An Indian
from the upper Columbia River, named
Smohalla, preached the doctrine of an
Indian Messiah some ten years ago.
This Indian taught that there would be
an upheaval of nature, which would
destroy tho white man, and restore tC
the Indian his ancestral domains, and
that the dust of countless dead Indians
would spring to life, and would surround
without one word of warning each pale
face, who will be swept from the face o
the earth. No one of the deadly weap
ons of civilization or skill in their us'
will avail, and the blood of eight,
millions of whites will atone for th'
wrongs done to the red race. Within
few months the belief in this new reli
gion has spread from tribe to tribe wit
marvellous rapidity. Runners hav
traversed thousands of miles to reac
distant tribes and bear the glad tidings
The Arapahoes, the Shoshones, tn
great Sioux tribes, the Cheyennes, bot
North and South, and many other tribes
have been taught the faith; and tn
, .ghost Dance" the religious ceremon
of the creed is being danced by all thes
tribes.

SOME CONDOLENCES.


A Eib,e Lcsson That Was Appropriate In
More Ways Than One.
An old friend (call him W. relates
how, whilo he was in Florida last win
ter, his watch stopped one evening.
Since it was very good watch, and
never stopped before, and had been
duly wound the evening before, w. was
much surprised that it wouldn't go. BY
and by the head of the house (call him
b. came in. "Will you please give me
the time?n said w. Certainly" said
b., and pulled out his watch. B. had
time-piece which was entirely trustwor-
thy, not given to Irregularities OF any
kind. He pulled it out of his pocket,
by Jove." he exclaimed, my watch is
stopped; that's queer" They compared
the two watches, and they had stopped
at the same hour and the same minute;
and why they had sto pped neither man
was able to discover.
None of the condolences SO far related
was as droll as another which has just
come to the Boston Trapsaript Listen
er's notice. Within a hundred miles OF
Boston there is pleasant little Episco-
pal chapel where services are regularly
conducted. and where cabinet organ
which stands at one side of the church
is played by q young lady from neigh
boring parish who kindly comes
in for the purpose. AS the
organ is situated in some
what inconyenient place at one side OF
! the chapel, and as the young lady knows
the service thoroughly we'll, she is in
/ the habit of leaving the organ when no
music is needed, and passing around at
/ the back of the room and sitting with
4 the congregation. At exactly the right
1 moment she leaves this place and re-
turns to the organ for the music. The
other Sunday, as she was seated in a
pew. she got her "cue" in the service,
and rose softly to go around to her
post As she moved out of the pew her
skirt caught upon nail, and, with
tear that loudly echoed through the
chapel, her gown was torn almost its
whole length. She was in confusion
but the minister, of course, did not in,
terrupt the holy service. He was read
ing the morning lesson from the second
chapter OF the Book of Joel and went
directly on with the passage before
him:
"And rend your heart and not YOU
garments"
Here the congregation was dangerous
ly near snicker; and the clergyman
himself, suddenly struck with Tho
extraordinary aptness of the passage hi
had read, was obliged to suspend hi
reading for at least moment, while HI
overcame perfectly natural impulse t.
burst into fit of laughter.

WILL BE A QUEEN.
A Little Negro Girl Now in virginia Who
Is to Wed a King.

Is to Wed King.
In London County, Va, not very far
from Washington, there is girl who
will some day contract an alliance with
King. Her dresses on that occasion
will not be particularly splendid, and
for that reason, perhaps, the event has
not attracted the attention that such
marriages usually do. The truth is,
says the Atlanta Constitution, that
the girl is ncgrcss, and the man
she will marry is King of tribe in
Africa She is at present being trained
for her future position in African court
circles, and is an inmate of the family
Of Rev. John $. Chester, a clergyman
WIN, several years ago was missionary
to gue west coast of Africa. His wife
became very fond of young African
girl while he was there, and asked per-
mission that she return with them when
they left the dark continent Her fa-
ther, thinking the missionary was jok-
ing, gave his consent, but when the
time came for parting wanted to be re-
leased from his promise. Chester still
persisted in his request, and finally, as
no member of the tribe is allowed un-
der pain of death to break a promise, he
had to allow his daughter to depart
The child was given the English name
of Nellie instead of the unpronounce-
able one she at first possessed, and al
though Chester already had children of
his own she was treated as member of
the family. Since Nellie has been in
the United States she has made great
progress in her education, and now at
the age of fifteen is model of scholar
ship and politeness. She can speak
French and English we'll, and combines
the winning ways of an American girl
with the politeness of Partisan. Nellie
looks much older than she really is, and
would be eligible to marriage If she
we're with her own tribe. Since they
came here the Chesters have kept up u
correspondence with the parents of the
girl, who have been delighted with the
progress which they have learned she is
making under her instructors. About
"a month ago they received letter from
her father asking that she be returned
to Africa, as the King wished to claim
his bride. The tribe of which she is a
member is a polygamous one. and Ches-
ter refused to do this unless the girl
was to be the Kings only Queen.
The King, who is charmed with the
stories about Nellie, has promised to dc
as asked, and it is likely that within q
few months Nellie will be sent back tc
mount throne in her native land. She
has had several offers of marriage from
negroes living near her home, but she
has refused them all, and the King viii
find her heart whole and fancy free
African-like, she does not care much fol
sentiment, and seems perfectly conten
to wed man many years her senio
and whom she has not seen since sh'
was very small child.
