HOW THE BEAR FOOLED Mr.. GREENE.
An Ex-Cowboy Given Surprise by q
Rear He Had LasSoed.

Once year a party of crack shots
start from Hiawatha for hunt in the
wilds of Colorado. One of the party
at one time was George Greene. an ex-
pert with lariat, and although rich,
middle-aged stockbuyer at Lincoln, he
has never lost a chance to test his skill
with his favorite weapon. He was
quick with a rifle, but when he began
an attack with lariat he disdained to
take advantage of his foe with powder
and ball. Mr.. Greene developed his
wonderful skill by long service on
ranches as a covboy.
The hunting party was mounted one
morning early for day in the saddle,
when MIR. Greene saw a large bear
making tracks across a clearing for the
woods. He was a master horseman,
and his horse was not unlike him, being
well bred aud fearless. With cow
boy yell he clapped his spurs to his
partner" and away they went like
mad to head bruin off, aud succeeded
in doing so. Swish-sh went the lariat
through the air. The horse snorted.
set back, and the astonished bear was
roughly jerked into a standing posi-
ton, with a taut lasso about his neck
and in under the fore paw. Then
there was wild scuffle. and though
the brute pulled and danced about
the trembling horse held him tight.
After 4 few seconds the bear quit try
ing 10 get away. and thoughtfully
looked matters over. He glanced along
the rope, and saw Mr.. Greene grinning
in the saddle on the horse ut the end
Of it. His rage ut it all was terrible to
see. Mr.. Greene's nerve was beyond
anything he had ever thought of
Growing fiercely he proved himself
equal to the emergency. Reaching out
Que paw after another. as a sailor
would, he rapidly pulled horse and man
toward him. His great strength made
the task easy for him and they were his
meat" instead of him being theirs.
The horse was struggling now, and the
change in the program was anything
but satisfactory to Mr.. Greene. Quick
ly he made up his mind that he must
cut the lariat. Out came the knife
from the sheath at his side, the throng
was in two, over fell the bear, and, be-
fore he could attend to business again
at the old stand. Mr.. Greene's gallant
horse got both out of his reach.
Bruin trottcd on to his death. every
hunter in the party who had seen the
fun pouring a bullet into his body.
To Mr.. Greene's credit he told them
he should have liked to have seen the
bar" &c free; it deserved only to die.

An Electric Car That Leaks.

The electric street-cars between
Ausonia and Birmingham. Conn.,, have
always been source of pride and Won
der as we'll to the people of the two
towns. Never Il country visitor comes
to see his relatives but he is taken for
a ride,ou the 'lectric ears. aud the
workings are explained 10 him. Some,
of the cars leak and the metallic
parts are highly charged with the
electric fluid. One car especially
is noted for this. The conductor aud
those who know the secret have lots of
fun seeing the look of painful surprise
that spreads itself over the faces of
those who are shocked. Recently a
lady got on the car us it started, and
as her feet touched tie iron doorsill
she gave Il startled scream and look
of blank amazement spread over her
features as she remarked: Some
thing is the matter with my Limbs; l
can't move them" The conductor
gave her little push into the car. and
a sigh of relief escaped her as she
sank into seat and blushed like an
Italian sunset.
The next one TO enter was big
Irish washerwoman. She was fat and
jolly. and her size required an effort
on her part 10 squeeze through the
door She planted both feet on the
iron plate and then screamed: s:'Howly
Moses. me legs is full of pins" The
conductor didn't laugh. He had too
big job to push her off the sill. Then
came a gentleman. whose little dog
followed him. The dogs feet struck
the door sill. his tail dropped down,
the hair on his back rose up. and with
a pi,ifu. howl he dropped back, jumped
off tue car, and has not been seen
since.
The man with rubbers OH smiles q
superior sort of smile rs he steps in,
and this angers the conductor. TO get
even with him he asks FOR the fare just
as the rubber shod man gets inside the
door. Then the man with the bell
punch steps on the door-sill, touches
the other mans hand with his
finger as he makes change. aud a
stern compression of the lips and a
muttered oath is the only token the
conductor has that his little scheme
worked. The sensation is not at all
painful, but its suddenness is apt to
take the resolution out of man as
quickly as anything. People who are
troubled with rheumatism ask per-
mission to stand in the door during
the whole trip. and declare that the
shock is beneficial.

There's a good deal of
guarantee business in the store
keeping of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words only ororaS.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, Is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
YOU know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the " average
practice
DR.. Pierce's medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money

parent.
Doesn't it strike you that

have SO much confidence in,
IS the medicine for YOU?

The Worm in the CiRarette.

The worst trouble that cigarette dealers have to contend with is the to- bacco weevil. It is a new insect, or at least it was a few years ago, when it appeared at leading cigarette factories in the south and bid fair to ruin the business. It was the only insect. so far as known, except the tobacco worm. that could thrive on tobacco, and no insect powder had the least effect on it. One or two factories in Richmond were, some years ago, compelled to change their quarters to get rid of the weevils. They finally succeeded, but every little while big box of cigarettes is found spoiled, the insects having bored through 1t in every direction. They seem to prefer cigarettes as places to deposit their eggs, and if any oneper- ceives a strange taste or smell in a cigarette he Is smoking, just let him stop. pull 1t to pieces and ascertain whether or not he is smoking tobacco buzz. .-Interview in St. Louis Globe 0on0onaA

Visiting southerners-at least those from Te1as-are not at all pleased with the rush Of northern railroads. if we may believe Maj. Martin, of that state. They are used to a very different sort of do ings. By way of illustration the major tells this story:
 l remember that woman one evening asked the conductor of a train in my state to stay at certain place all night She wanted to spend the night with some friends, she said. and if he didn't oblige her she should have to wait twen- ty-four hours for train
 The conductor said he hated to be dis obliging to lady. but he didn't like to delay the other passengers. Finally he agreed to talk it over with them. and we decided that if her friends would give us lodging and breakfast we wouldn't mind an extra day spent on the way
 The train waited half an hour while she got off and consulted with her friends. and just as we were about to leave the place she came and told Us that they had agreed to the terms The tires in the engine were banked. and the train left on the track Next morn 'nx after comfortable night spent in the farm house. we left the place twelve hours late. Talk about accommodating railroads!-N York Tribune.
