not need to run. He can stand and fight.
Dropping his RATA, Ramon led the animal
back little way to where the ground was
better. leavin & it there, and then he resumed
the trail Of the bears. His Winchester,
with full magazine this time. was in one
hand and his 6-shooter In the other. In
his belt rested the knife, long and keen,
that bear hunters find useful Ia close quar-
tiers.
The trail still led up the canyon. growing
rougher and rougher. Presently, rounding
point of rock, he came full upon the head
Of the gulch, a steep, rocky slope, stretching
to the top of the range, and just at its base
a large
CLUMP OF THICK LAUREL.
The leaves made perfect shelter, and the
twisted branches grew so thick as to be al
most impossible; but into that laurel
thicket not Eenty feet from him, the trail
of the bears led. There was no sound, but
Ramon fancied he could see the rich, lus-
trous green leaves of the laurel move now
! and again, though no wind was stirring, as
if some creature slept behind their screen
! ard breathed regularly. He crept closer.
peering into the thicket.
In the darkness be could see nothing,
though it was high noon, and all about him
! fell the hot sunshine. There was but one
course. lie saw that his rife was loaded.
/ he closely examined the cartridges in his
| 6-shooter, He drew bis long knife, placing
the keen blade between his teeth.
| Then Tightening his belt, he dropped upon
his hands and knees, and, pushing his rifle
upon the ground in front of him, proceeded
deliberately to crawl in the den of the bears.
And then the silence was broken, senior.
1t was broken, first, by a shot, for
Ramon had come upon them so stealthily
that the first bear had a bullet behind
his ear as 1t slept before his approach had
been noted.
There was a loud snorting and a crashing
of brush, and the Yells of man with the
thirst for blood upon him-the thirst for
blood awakened and satiated and awakened
again. Then there was another shot and
another, and brush crashed and broke and
beasts snorted, and the man yelled again
| the yell Of demon.
There were splashes OF blood upon the
lustrous laurel leaves and then the thicket
was borne down in the center and shaggy
| form arose there almost touching the erect
| form OF a swarthy man whose bloodshot
| eyes gave out sparks.
| His rife was gone, but blood dripped
from the knife he held in his left hand, and
his right, extended, held a 6-shooter almost
| in the eyes OF the bear.
Again the horse, far below in the canyon,
| heard shot and quivered, and the bear
dropped from sight, leaving the man stand
| ing erect in the bushes.
Then once more there was a crashing Of
the brush the fourth bear, little
one, broke cover, making for the hillside
and close behind it the man crawled
out from the laurel thicket and from
his revolver sent messenger that stopped
its fight forever.
Ramon Ortega, senior, had once more
conquered peace.

Two Very Prominent Merchants Pub
licly Dispute an Election Wager.


Two very prominent merchants came very
near coming to blows yesterday over the
coming election. By the request Of the
parties interested we will suppress names
1t was brought about in the following man
ner:
1t appears as If Bay street had wagered
with Broughton street $500 one hundred
dollars that RuGh's papa would occupy the
white house for the coming four years
from March 5, 1893, which Broughton street
disputed. One word led to another, until
finally friends interfered to prevent what no
doubt both gentlemen would have regretted.
1t was finally decided to deposit with Dry
fus q Rich, the liquor and cigar merchants.
lGl Congress street. the 500, and the sue
cessful man would give the above-men-
toned firm carte blanche to stock his wine
cellar with the winnings from their large
stock CT imported and domestic wines and
liquors.

BROKE THE sSAL's SHELL ON STONE front of the hedge that parts the lawn from the public road. The bird seemed to be intentionally making for a gravel path that, after passing almost close to the windows bends to the northwest, towards the small gate of my front gar den. It was bearing something in its bill. On coming to the path it at tempted to break this on a stone. It did not succeed. It then tried another stone. This time it succeed. There upon it flew away. On the spot found a remarkably big stone embedded in the path. and round it were scattered bits of snail shell. The bird had eaten the snail. The second of the obscrva- tions would note, and the more strik- ing of the two, happened on June 5, 1890. then was viewing the gravel path from the westernmoSt of the four windows. Just beneath me, standing on the path, was female thrush. She had succeeded in breaking a snail shell. She had the snail in her bill, but, despite vigorous efforts, she could not swallow it. Up hopped a male thrush. Standing before the female, he opened his bill. She dropped the snail into his bill. He chewed the snail. He dropped it back into the females ready bill. She swallowed it. The pair blithely trotted of side by side toward the small
 gate. I saw them no more"

LARRY.

we'll educated young gentleman. He is quite a musician, and has entertained many a passenger on long voyage with his songs. If asked: ''Sing a song, Larry" he at once sits up on his hind legs and does as he is bid. His range is immense, for when told to sing tenor he pitches his voice in high key, and if bass is preferred he becomes very Stanley. Unlike many of his brethren, the piano has rather soothing effect on him, nor is he averse to singing in general; but he is discriminating, and there are two or three songs that his mistress sings which upset his equanim- ity. He first accompanies her through half dozen bars. and then runs out of the room as fast as his legs will carry him. This invariably happens with the same songs. Larry has ex- cellent manners, too. He always comes into the dining-room on his hind legs in the morning, and presents paw to his master and mis- tress, and. having walked once round the table in this fashion. demands his breakfast, which awaits him ia-the cor ner, but which he would never touch without being told to take it." There is not much ceremony about this light bread and milk meal but when dinner time arrives Larry spreads his cloth. He fetches Q folded newspaper out of the basket. brings it to the hearthIug. and there most ingeniously unfolds it, and then sits down before it awaiting his plate or the occasional bone. After his dinner he has his nap, but as the clock strikes four he is of like a shot, for d miles run to meet his master $ train. His greeting when I arrive is always a warm one, and we then tramp home together. One day not long since, poor Larry had mean trick played him, the author of which he surely does no suspect. The hall clock was put on an hour. At the stroke of four he de- parted on his errand as usual. For a whole long hour he waited in suspense on the platform, and shudder to think of all the terrible railway accidents that took shape in his little brain until at last the train steamed into the sta ton. My reception when l did arrive
 was so overwhelming that l feared poor Larry was going mad. and he could
 not be suppressed the whole way home. Since Larry has learned to count he
 never misses meeting that train, and il
 am not in it, which rarely happens,
 am told he returns home very sad and
 sorrowful. Larry does not make friends easily, but when he does he is the most faithful little fellow living. The ae companying portrait was taken some time since, but is still good likeness
 though perhaps too juvenile-looling.

CHINESE MAFiAS.
An Organization of Assassins That the
 Law Is Powerless to Suppress


 Law Is Powerless to Suppress.
 There is quite striking analogy be- tween the Italian Nafia, as it is com monly understood, and the Chinese Tong, or organization of cutthroats. murderers and highbinders in this city, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The chief point of difference is that the sub divisions of the Mafia are not at con stant war with each other, while the Tongs have deadly feuds continually on foot, and generally select their victims from among Il. 1T rivals
 The question of these organizations of assassins in the heart of civilized community like ours has grown to be a serious one. We know, in general way that each Tong is bound together by oaths which its members dare not break: that its purpose is crime of the deepest dye: that it shelters its mem bers by every artifice which Chinese cunning can devise, and that it sets at defiance the laws of the land; but here our knowledge on the subject ends. We do not know the motives which under lie the frequent murders, nor do we seem to know how to break up these Tongs or put an end to their career of crime.
 The suggestion has been made, and it is worth considering, that an indictment for criminal conspiracy would lie against an entire Tong or society whose members were known or believed to be guilty of murder. So far as we can know anything about the secret work ings of these organizations there is ample reason to believe that the mur- ders are committed after full discussion l and the murderer selected by his SO ciety and instructed as to how and when he shall do his deadly work. If this be true there is certainly a crim- inal conspiracy preceding every one ot these highbilder murders, and the whole society is liable to indictment | Such wholesale attack upon these secret societies would do much to break them up. As it is now they care very | little if one of their number happens to fall into the clutches Of the law. They have plenty of assassins left. and one more or less makes no difference to the Tong. If, however, the whole Tong were indicted the Chinese would be. | lieve that the officers of the law were in earnest and it would work a change in their system of getting rid of those who were inimical to them

Pussy Men.

Men are often more fussy and par ticular about insignificant things than women. There are thousands of men in New York who go miles out of their way to get shaved. know men. says writer in the New York Herald, who come down on the elevated, and who get of at some intermediate point to patronize favorite barber. They have done so for years. The array of private cups in any shop illustrates the strength of this shaving habit. When a busy business man will sit half an hour in one of these shops and tumble the flash papers while he waits for his particu.ar tonsorial artist to be at liberty, it strengthens the conviction that he is weaker than ss vsOI...1- The man --ho doesn't learn to shave himself while bis beard is young is laying up life of slavery to publie barbcrs. In the course of an ordinarily long lifetime he will spend about three years sittiBg around barber shop and year or two more going and coming.

 Tragedy and comedy are very close together sometimes, says the New York World, and the same swell which near ly ended the life of one person upset a group of a dozen merry bathers and tossed them topsy turvy toward the beach. One of the number, a New Yorker, was thrown headlong into a bevy of girls, and he has a distinct inn precision of shapely limb grazing his waist just as the breaker rolled over
