Walking up in front of his enemy, he
would taunt him, and then, sprlnging
away, avoid his stroke. When the
bear would drop on all tours to come
ut him Thomson would Jump to one
side to close in, and then up the bear
would go on his hind feet again. In Il
spirit Of rcclllessness Thomson stopped
this dilatory play by walking right
into the bears arms and cutting ter
riblc cash in his abdomen. Such n
howl of rage l never heard, and, of
course, all the claws on each of the
bears paws sank into Thomson's back
and tore outward. His flesh, as we'll
us his clothing, seemed to be furrowcd
as II with razors where the claws came
through, but as soon as this occurred
Thomson darted like a flash under the
left forclcg or arm of the animal, got
ut the bears back, and then, for the
first time, realized what he had been
trying to accomplish. Before the bear
could turn or drop on all tours Thorn
son had his left arm like bar of steel
under the bears chin or lower law,
and its long, ugly neck was stretched
backward till it seemed as if it would
snap. The terrible claws would come
up and reach for that enemy who APP
peared to be just at the back of his
neck. but only few strips of flesh and
clothing could he bring; and the bowie
knife was doing it's deadly work on his
neck, stretched to its utmost tension.
Dropping to its launches, the bear
tried to throw himself forward on all
fours,' and then it was that 1 saw the
most magnificent exhibition of the mus
cular powers of the human frame I
ever saw in my life.
Seeing the beasts intentions, Thorn
son braced himself against its hips and
back, and actually held the animal up
with that viselille grip under it's jaw,
when few more strokes of the keen
knife, moan and gurgle, were followed
by snap of the vcrtebra, and it was
all over.
Dropping the completely severed
head ut my feet, he staggered, covered
with blood, into the hut, with the re-
quest that cut the bear up before it
froze. In a short time lie came out as
fresh as ever. his clothing all scwcd up,
himself washed clean, and not drop of
blood about him pcrccptiblc. It is pos
sible that he was covered with the
bears blood instead of his own; it is
also possible that his clothing was so
thick that the claws didn't go into him
as deep as I had thought. At any rate
he never seemed to show the slightest
injury, and to this day have never

A good story is told on one of the
officers connected with local militia
company. For number of days before
the inspection of the citizen soiiiery the
officer in question would each afternoon
retire to the privacy of his own bed
chamber, in the second story of his resi-
dence. and after dressing himself in fnll
regimentals would put an imaginary
company Of soldiers through a lively
course Of drilling. He would clasp his
sword at the hilt with one hand and at
the point with the other, and then walk
backward IA II viewing the alignment OF
his troops
1t so happened that while going
through this maneuver one afternoon,
he walked backward into an open stair
way and tumbled into II heap on the
floor OF the room below. and presented
anything but soldierly and dignified
appearance as he lay there rubbing his
bruises. His good wife was in the room
attending to some household duty, and
she rushed to the side of the fallen hero.
and in anxious and tender voice asked
him If he were hurt.
With quick bound her husband re.

out: Hurt? No, woman: what do you
know about war; and then ran back
up stairs and dismissed his soldiers. =

An ADVENTURE WITH wolves.

A Young Girl with the Aid of Her Faith
full Pony Secures Four Bodies.
Once Nebraska had been to visit at
her neighbours and started for home
when it was nearly dark; but as it was
a moonlight night she did not feel lonely
and had just thought, What a lovely
evening for ride" when she heard pat
tering steps. Looking around, she saw
two wolves stealthily following She
urged her pony to his greatest speed, and
tried to think out what she should do.
for she was by this time NY half way
home, and seven miles from the nearest
house.
She kept perfectly still because she
knew that if she screamed before she was
attacked, although it would scare the
animals away for a time, they would
return and would soon get used to the
noise and not be frightened by it. She
felt certain so few of them would not
dare attack her, for wolves are very
cowardly, but she also knew that they
would summon the rest of the pack
almost instantly
The wolves were now in full pursuit.
and she, glancing back. saw there were
three She was alarmed indeed now,
and as they were gaining on her every
minnie she knew something must be
done If she was to reach home alive
She knew the wolves would not long
hesitate to attack her, for there was quite
large pack of them gathering Her
pony, too. shifted danger, and the next
instant, before she comprehended what
he was going to do, he had turned and
sprung right into the midst of the snarl-
ing pack, paving and kicking right and
left!
He had not forgotten his wild habits,
nor how he had many times saved him
self from the ferocious animals. And
now his bravery stood his mistress in
good stead, for as his feet came down ON
the wolves fierce yelps showed that he
was not dealing gentle taps, In a few
seconds there were four stretched dead
on the ground, and the Others had fed.
The young rider had thought, us soon
as she knew what he was going to do,
that she was safe il she could keep on
his back. and this required all her
strength and skill When the Jack was
gone she looked down at the dead bodies
and shuddered as she thought of her mar
row escape. With no injuries and only
few anxious minutes she had secured
four dead wolves. worth more than fifty
dollars.
She dismounted and slung them over
Pawnee's back and then galloped home
No need of saying that her father and
mother were surprised to see her come
up to the door and exhibit triumphantly
four slain wolvesl
After this glorious exploit the pony
was more petted than before. Did he not
deserve it?-Kate NJ. Putney in st.

Murdered bv Rnfiians.

Ell PAso, Tex, March 24.--An-
other murder has been committed
In the BOsque above the city aud
near the spot where the two straug
ers were killed four weeks ago.
Benito Castro is the victim this
time. According 60 his wife's state
ment, Albert +. Brown, Marcus
Medina, Eduardo Ortega and Vir-
ginio Gonzales appeared at the Cas-
tro house at an early hour this morn
ing and demanded admittance.
Castro's wife opened the door and
permitted Brown and Gonzales to
enter. Castro, who was asleep, was
aroused and told to dress aud ac-
company them. This he proceeded
to do, and Brown and Gonzales
joined their gang outside while Cas-.
tro was getting into his clothes.
His wife, fearing trouble, closed and
locked the door behind them, and
refused to open 1t when ordered to
do so by the ruffians. Without fur
ther ceremony, they began shooting
through the door. At the first vol.
ley Castro gave a cry and fell to the
floor mortally wounded. No cause
is assigned for the killing. Sheriff
Hillebrand today captured all OF
the parties but Gonzales, who, it is
feared, has escaped into Mexico.
