Carried AWAY the Tran.

Not long ago a COW died in the vicinity
of the Quinn ranch. near the head OF
Goose Creek, south Of Wagon Wheel Gap,
Cal. 1t soon became apparent to William
Quinn, owner OF the ranch, that the carcass
OF the COW was being visited by a bear Of
very large dimensions, and, in company
with Dell McClelland, Mr.. Quinn decided
to " sit up with tue bear, and endeavor
to get shot at it by night. This was done,
but owing to darkness tie bear was not
killed by shots fired.
AS the next resort. a large bear trap,
weighing about seventy-five pounds, was
produced and set near the dead critter,
and the trappers went to bed laughing at
the trick they had played on the bear.
The trap was chained to pole eighteen
feet long and eight inches through at the
large end
In the morning an examination of the
premises about the dead COW showed
plainly that the bear and cub had been
there during the night. There was a
large track. eighteen inches long and six
or seven inches wide, and small track,
evidently made by cub. The trap, how
ever, was gone. and with it the eighteen
foot pole, and the disturbed condition OF
the ground showed conclusively that the
bear had been caught in the trap. G
Trail, however, away from the scene, was
only the trail of two bears-there was not
a mark of dragging either trap or pole.
Mr.. Quinn took up the trail, which he
followed eight miles without coming upon
the bears, trap. or pole. At the camp OF
MIR. Tom Carey, seven miles away, that
gentleman told how, in the night, he had
been awakened by sound as OF some.
thing walking. with an occasional pause
and heavy fnll on the ground as thOu ~ r
something had been dropped. Having nc
gun Mr.. Carey sat up In his tent the bal.
ance of the night and endeavored to keeI
warm by poking wood into sheet-iror
stove.
The trail was followed mile or sc
further and then lost. In one place the
bears had passed through a heavy qiak
ing aspen thicket and had literally
moved swath through the sapliugs
showing that the trap and pole were be
ing taken along.

The people often wonder and ask why
the Mexican always calls the American
"Gr1ngO, OF what the word means. That
can be explained much easier than why
the American calls the Mexican q
GreaSer.' When the Americans went
to war with Mexico, Il melody, each verse
OF which ended with Green grow the
PUSHES, o. was very popular. 1t pleased
almost everybOdys fancy. and was sung
by old and young. While in camp the
soldiers would sing it constantly, and all
the MeXicans could hear was Green grow
the rushes, o." They Immediately began
to call the American soldiers by the
nrSt two words. as 1t sounded to
them, "Gringoes." They made it into
one word, by which they will ever
know the American" GringO." Another
word which the MeXcans captured
from Americans during the war is the adj
5ectiye gallon, as applied to horse. un ca
ballo gallon, the Mexican horses which
are very small being called simply cabal-
los. The word gallon is a corruption Of
go long" which the American team
sters called at their large American
horses. The Mexicans ina gined that "go
long was the American name for horse.
How the Americans came to call the Mex
leans Greasors' is not very clear. The
chronic Discrimination Of the Mexicans to
utilize "ablutionary studios" as bath
rooms are called in Mexico. is supposed
to have something to do with it. On the
other hand, it IS asserted that greaser ID
merely a corruption Of graZier. When
the Americans first went to Texas they
found the Mexicans principally engaged
in grazing cattle

4 PRETTY ROMANCE.
Parted In Anger Years Ago, and United
by Matrimonial Paper.


by \ Matrimonial Paper
The marriage OF Charles s. Denning and
Clara Oakley, which took place at Bing-
hamton, N. Y. on November n, has q ro-
nance. The couple were betrothsd q
good many years ago, and the marriage
day had been fixed for the ceremony. On
Thanksgiving Day, a week previous to
the date set for the wedding Denning and
his aft1anced, then q girl OF nineteen, took
drive to Vestal Village, fifteen miles
west OF Binghamton. The couple spent
the day with relatives Of the young lady,
and toward night started to drive homo.
Denning lost his way, and day WAS just
breaking when the young man made
the startling discovery that he was
nearly thirty miles from homo and drlv-
ing In direction opposite to the one he
should have taken. The horse was turned
about and the tiresome ride toward homo
was begun. The lady, In a fit OF anger,
returned the lovers betrothal ring and
broke off the engagement. She told Dem
ming never to cross her path again. The
young man was nearly heartbroken, but
he went West and was heard from no
more. The young lady repentsd her folly
in a few weeks and tried to discover the
whereabouts Of her lover without avail
She mournsd him as dead, and in time
ceased to think OF him entirely The
young lady's parents died and she went
to Cincinnati to reside with q rich aunt.
The latter also died several months ago
and bequeathed a snug sum to her niece.
Miss Oakley came East on visit re-
Gently and while here secured possession
OF matrimonial journal. One ADVERTISE
ment seemed to possess a peculiar fasci-
nation for her, and she answered 1t. A
correspondence spranR up and she was
moro favorably impressed with each let
ter, as they had the ring OF something In
that struck her being very familiar. So
great was her confidence in her unknown
suitor that she consented to fix day for
the wedding. Arrangements were made
whereby he was to come East to meet her,
and they were to be married and start i'm
mediately on the return trip for the West,
where homo was in waiting to receive
them.
With some misgiving yet much eager.
ness, Miss Oakley awaited the coming OF
her bridal day and her lover AS might
be expected. she was very anxious to see
what her lover looked like, for she did not
even know his name, as he had always
signed his initials and the number Of his
post office box and she had not even a
photograph Of him. depending entirely
upon the description which he had fur
nished OF himself. He arrived at last,
and what was the amazement OF the pros
pectlve bride to see in the smiling and
handsome man before her, her boy lover OF
ten years ago? He was some what chan ged,
beard adding much to his dignity and
manliness OF bearing and making him look
much older. Otherwise he was the same
man from whom she had parted in anger
years before.

4 SONG OF CHRISTMAS,

Only Christmas ballad
Sung to a careless throng;
There were nO1e that knew the singer
And few that heed ed the song;
Yet the singer voice was tender
And sweet as with love untold:
Surely those hearts were hardened
That is left 50 hard and cold.
She sang Of the wonderful glory
That touches the woods In spring.
or the strange soul-stirring voices
When "the hills break forth and sing
Or the happy birds low warbling
The requiem OF tho day,
And the quiet hush OF the valleys
In the dusk Of the cleaning gray.
And one in a distant corner
woman worn with strife
Heard in that song a message
From the sprlngtime OF her life.
Fair forms rose up before her
From the mist Of vanished years;
She sat in happy blindness,
Her eyes were yelled in tears
Then when the song was ended,
And hushed the last swee, tone,
The listener rose up softly
And went on the way alone.
Once more to her life Of labor
She passed. but her heart was strong;
And she prayed " God bless the singer!
And, OH, thank God for the son2i"
