"The bear sat on his launches and tried
to look pleasant, probably believing that
the organ grinder was an amateur photog-
rapher endeavorng to snap him. The
musician was afraid to move while the
bear sat still, for fear of being pursued
Finally it flashed across his mind that
sometimes an animal may be hypnotized
by music. He had heard dogs howl with
delight under the influence of certain melo-
dies during his many travels with the
hand organ So he lost no time in grind
ing out the liveliest reel he had to offer.
The bear Immediately got on his hinder
members, folded his fore paws across his
chest, and while a happy smile lighted his
countenanee and trickled off his tongue,
danced beneath the spreading trees in the
liveliest possible manner. When the reel
came to an end the bear resumed his sitting
posture and howled for more He seemed
in agony. When the organ grinder re-
sumed the grinding of the reel, the bear
again danced in the most ecstatic manner
"The organist backed off to the road and
the bear followed him to the village.
Every tune in the organ made him so hap
DIV that he would not leave the musician
They travelled all over this section and
finally through the great cities. The bear
would dance and pass the tambourine, and
he never failed to fill the congregated OBJ
servers with delight. He danced from one
end of the country to the other, continued
the barber, as he threw the ten cents in
the drawer, land never wearied of the
same old tune that won him first. Other
organ grinders have travelled with dancing
bears, but this pair was the origin of the
great popular combination that has de-
lighted thousands of people from one end
of the land to the other"

A Standard Oil millionaire.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Mr. William Rookie
feller, the younger brother of the founder
of the Standard Oil company, as vice presi-
dent has charge of the New York office of
that large and wealthy corporation. The
administration of the affairs within his
province keep him so busy that he is not a
very well known man in New York and is
not very often seen in public. AS an Off
Ger of the Standard Oil company he has
but to carry out the policy which the ex-
ecutive committee DEGREES AS private
citizen he is unostentatious and is much
more approachable than his elder brother.
He is not nearly so rich as John d. Rookie
feller, but he has accumulated in the past
fifteen years some fifty millions of dollars
To live in a manner appropriate for man
of his substance has bothered him some
what, and he has several times changed
the hobbies from which he hoped to find d
relaxation from his business cares and a
pleasure for the moments when he could
escape from the tall white building in
Broadway where he does his work.
When he first came to New York he
bought a place up on Long Island sound
at Greenwich in Connecticut and went in
for the breeding and training of trotting
horses on large scale. He tired of this,
however, and sold off nearly all of his
stock. He had in the meantime bought
the old Aspinwall estate near Tarrytown,
on the Hudson river, and he transformed
that old fashioned mansion into veritable
modern palace. Here he now lives in the
summer time, and, emulating the example
of Jay Gould and Cyrus Field and other
millionaires who live in his neighborhood,
he keeps fast steam yacht to bring him
to town every day. He is a liberal buyer
of pictures for the adornment of his houses
in town and in the country, and in his
purchases he has developed shrewdness
which commands the respect and admira-
tion of the dealers. The capacity of the
newly rich American to acquire the skill
of a connoisseur is something truly re-
markable. He has joined with his brother
in liberal gifts to the educational institu-
tions of the Baptist church, and he receives
enough begging letters in year to rob
him Of all his millions if each request were
granted. j. u. D

TIE eeAa LORE BARBER.
A Unique Creation from Munkittrick's
Facile Pen.
Especial Correspondence.


EL1zABETHTowN, Essex county, N. Y,
Nov. AIT this time of the year, when
the summer tourist has flown, every man
In this region devotes himself to keeping
warm and telling bear stories. OF the tell
ing of bear stories. like the making of
books, there is no end in this wild but
beautiful region, where nature has success
fully spread herself to produce grand
landscape poem. The barber shop is the
place where most of the idle gossip of the
village takes place, and it is not going too
far to say that this tonsorial establishment,
on the strength of the proprietor's bear
stories alone, lives in halo of mystic
romance. 1t is quite as much to the bar
ber's consummate skill in telling bear
stories as to his ability to give one close
shave three days under the epidermis that
he is enabled to thrive and flourish.
When you enter his shop he will talk
bear from the time he puts the lather on
your face until he puts the bear grease on
your hair, and one man last summer said
there would be delicate propriety in his
printing an illustrated advertisement show
ing bear shaving himself.
dropped in on him the other day to get
shaved-I mean to hear bear story.
"This is great place for bears, have
heard" began, to start him.
"Not as great as it used to be" he re-
piled, seeming glad of an opportunity to
talk on his favorite, his only subject; there
was time up here that bears were as thick
as flies around huckleberry pie No one
ever thought of molesting them and the
result was they became as tame as pet rab-
bits, and would smilingly accept a lump
of sugar from your hand. | have often
had them come along and lie on the stoop
to take rest, and continue on their way
to the woods. Once upon a time an organ
grinder came to this region, and met big
bear up in the woods where the Windsor
now stands. He didn't know that the bears
in this region were harmless and full Of
fun, and in his fright stopped behind his
organ and looked oter the top.

A. ii. Clark, president of the Fairhaven
National bank, is of the opinion that the
present stringency In the money market
has seen its worst days. and that the fu-
ture looks great deal more promising
than for months past. "Some friends
from New York visited me yesterday" he
said, "and they bring the cheering lntelll
gence that the money market OF the East
IS much easier, and is gradually resuming
It's old-time buoyancy. This is good news
for us Western people, and an early re-
vlyal Of business all along the line may be
anticipated"
Talking about curious pronuncia
tons," said DIR. NJ. NJ. Hopkins yesterday,
reminds me of an incident that occurred
in Calavsras county, California. Every
body knows how slow an English speak
ing person is to catch on to Spanish pro-
nunciations, so arbitrary are the rules
governing the pronunciation of Spanish
words. OF course Americans who
sojourn for short time even,
in Southern California, or in
any Of the states or territories where
there is Spanish population, readily
learn how to pronounce the most difficult
words. Now. there is station on the
railroad down in Calaveras county. called
Jesus Marie, but which in Spanish sounds
like Ha -soOs Marie. A stranger arriving
in town one day, after viewing the sights,
wished TO travel to Jesus Marie. The
train was due and rushing to the station,
he loudly demanded ticket, In a good
old Yankee nasal tone, for Jesus Ma
riar." The ticket agent looked at him
for a moment unable to comprehend his
destination, and then it occurred to him
that the ticket purchasers pronunciation
was little off and he provided him with
ticket for the town with the Spanish
name, pronounced so differently from
what an English-s speaking person would
imagine.
