FOOLED BY A BEAR.
An Ex-Cowboy Given Surprise by Beast
He Had Lassoed.


He Had Lassoed.
n Once a year a party of crack shots
start from Hiawatha for a hunt in the
wilds of Colorado. One of the party at
one time was George Greene, an expert
with lariat, and although rich, mid
dle-aged stock-buyer at Lincoln, he has
never lost chance to test his skill with
his favorite weapon. He was quick
with rifle, but when he began an at
tack with lariat he disdained to take
advantage of his foe with powder and
ball. Mr. Greene developed his wonder
full skill by long service on ranches as
cowboy
The hunting party was mounted one
morning early for day in the saddle,
when Mr.. Greene saw large bear
making tracks across clearing for
the woods. He was a master horseman,
and his horse was not unlike him,
being well bred and fearless. With
cowboy yell he clapped his spurs to his
partner" and away they went like mad
to head bruin off. and 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 standing position, with a
taut lasso about his neck and in under
the fore paw. Then there was wild
scuffie, and, though the brute pulled
and danced about, the trembling horse
held him tight. After few seconds the
bear quit trying TO get away, and
thoughtfully looked matters over He
glanced along the rope, and saw Mr..
Greene grinning in the saddle on the
horse at the end of it. His rage at it all
was terrible. Mr.. Greene's nerve was
beyond any thing he had ever thought
of. Growing fiercely he proved
himself equal to the emergency.
Reaching out one paw after an
other, as a sailor would, he rap
idly 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 programme was any thing but sat
isfactory to Mr.. Greene. Quickly 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, before he
could attend to business again at the
old stand, Mr.. Greene's gallant horse
got both out of his reach.
Bruin trotted ON to his death, every
hunter in the party who had seen the
fun pouring a bullet into his body. To
Mr.. Green's credit he told them he
should have liked to have seen the
''bar" go free; it deserved only to die,
if need be, with an equal chance for
life with its observation-disclosures City

THE GAME OF BILLIARDS.
It's Origin and How IL Obtained Its
Name.

Its Origin and How IL Obtained Its
Name.
The game of billiards was invented
about the middle of the sixteenth cent
ury b. a London pawn-broker named
William Kew. In bad, stormy weather,
when trade was slack, this pawn
broker was in the habit of taking down
the three balls of his sign, and, with a
yard-measure. pushing them about the
counter. billiard fashion. into boxes
fixed at the sides. In time the idea of
fenced table with pockets suggested
itself. A black-letter manuscript of
1870 contains the following in reference
to the game and its originator: Master
Will Kew did make un lionel boarde
whereof a game is played with three
balls, and all the younge men were
greatly recreated thereat. chiefly the
young clergymen from St Pawles;
hence one of We strokes was named a
cannon having been by one of We said
clergymen invented. The game is now
known by We name of 'bill-yard.' be-
cause William. or Bill Kew, did first
play il with a yard-measure. The stick
used is now called 'kue,' or kew in
memory of Mr.. Kew, who has been dead
some time"
II is easy TO understand how bill
yard has been modernized into bill
iard:' the transformation of kew" into
''cue" is equally apparent.-St- Louis
Globe-Democrat.

The Hat In the Elevator.

The question of taking ones hat off
in the elevator may be readily disposed
of when one takes into consideration
the fact that the elevator is merely a
means of passage from one portion of a
building to another, as is the staircase
or hallway. One does not go about
with ones hat in ones hand in the cor
ridor of hotel or mounting the stairs
of business building. The lifting of
the hat in an elevator is a custom of
English derivation but if it is against
reason and common sense it need not
perforce receive a sanction here. Be
sides in England the elevator is lift, !"
and perhaps the male passenger uncon-
sciously lifts his hat in sympathy with
that enelature.-Clothier and Fur

The .ce-house would be filed from
the rear, but the ice would be taken cut
in the passage through which current
of air would pass by the windows, one
at each end. This passage might be
used for various purposes. The tank
would be made in the dairy, and water
from cistern or pump would be used
to supply it. II might be too great a
cost to use the ice for the water supply,
although this has been done by an ar
rangement of this kind, as follows: The
dairy is connected with the ice-house as
above, but the dairy is sunk three feet
below the level of the floor of the ice

The ice-house has a water-tight.
cement floor, painted with best gas tar,
and slopes slightly toward the front,
and also from the sides to the center,
thus forming channel by which the
water from the slowly melting ice runs
into the tank in the dairy. Where ice
can be procured in abundance and
cheaply, this plan might be adopted,
and if the flow of ice-water is at any
time deficient, ice can be procured and
put into the tank from the attic above.
The tank in either case should be pro-
vided with drop doors to close it in, to
maintain as even and low a temperature
as possible Gentleman.

How TO XIII Chicken Hawks.

Various methods are proposed for kill
ing or capturing hawks. A ''hawk
trap" is a board with a number of long
spikes driven through it and sharpened.
A chicken is tied to the board and the
hawk in trying to catch the chicken
sticks himself on the spikes Some
farmers kill chicken, pierce the flesh
with a knife and put in strychnine.
Then they hang the carcass to a tree.
A remarkable 81 story comes from
Connecticut of a farmer who took a
scythe blade. ground it as keen as a
razor and bolted it to a high pole with
the edge up. at an angle of - degrees,
