PRICE ONE CENT.


In tho "IIistory OF Henniker," New
Hampshire, 1t is related that Mr.. Moses
Huse set of with a friend on a bear hunt
one autumn morning to be gone for the
day. A little before sundown Mrs. Huse
began her preparations for supper against
the time of the hunters return. In those
early deys few houses had cellars under
meath; but a potato hole was dug near the
dwelling and covered over during the win
ter with sods or thatch. In this hole the
seasons vegetables were stored.
Mrs. Huse handed pan to her little
girl, and bade her go out to the cellar hole
and getsome vegetables. The child obeyed,
but soon ran in, saying that she had heard
a noise in the leaves and was afraid. Her
mother assured her there was nothing to
be afraid Of and sent her back, but the lit
tie girl soon returned with the same story,
when the mother said impatiently, "Wall,
you stay here, an I'll go myself"
AS Mrs. Huse neared the potato hole she
heard the noise which had alarmed the
child. Upon going nearer she espied bear
digging In the leaves for acorns.
She Immediately gave chase, picking up,
as she rar, huge pine knot, with train
as long as yer arm" she said afterward,
and came up with bruin just us he had
begun the ascent of tree.
Mrs. Huse was of Indian descent; of
wry, powerful muscle. She had often
taken her end OF the log in clearing the
land, and now, equal to the emergency.
she dealt the bear a heavy blow with the
knot, which broke his back and he fell to
the ground. She quickly dispatched him,
dragged him to the house and dressed him.
When Mr.. Huse and his comrade re-
turned, the woman was cooking bear
steak for supper They were much aston
ished, and asked where she obtained the
meat. She told them, and added, in her
quaint dialect, "When he failed from the
tree, damned on, did; and killed him.
did, did"
The energetic woman had beaten the
fruitless and who had returned without
game Of any sort.

THE INDIANAPOLIS STRIKE.
A Receivers Appointment Brings a
Temporary Cessation Of Iostilities.

A Receivers Appointment Brings a
Temporary Cessation of Hostihties.
INDIANAPoLIs, Ind, March 2.-The
street car difficulties have been settled,
temporarily at least, in very emphatic
and unexpected manner. On appiica-
ton of w. b. Fishback, John w. Kern
and few other prominent citizens
Judge Taylor, of the superior court, ap-
pointed Thomas Steel receiver of the
Citizens Street Railway company. The
applicants for the receivership allege
that President FrenZel is incomplete ent,
and that continuance OF the strike,
which is the result of that incompetence,
may result in bloodshed. Mr.. Steele
was for many years superintendent of
the company, but was removed by Presi-
dent FrcnZel when the latter accepted
the position of president.
Receiver Steele promised to have the
cars running yesterday, but as he had
secured possession of but one barn his
promise was not fulfilled. All the other
burns were securely locked and barred
by the company. President FTenzel
went into court and asked for an in
juction against Steele.
As the company is perfectly solvent
the appointment of receiver has caused
not little surprise. This. Of course,
has been construed as partial victory
for the strikers, and it was celebrated
by organized labor in street parade of
800 or 600 men, headed by brass band.
The court will refuse to take any ac-
tiOn on President E'renZels application
until he turns the entire property over
10 the receiver.

A Tutor who Maintained His Dignity.

DR.. Chalmers always had high sense Of
personal dignity. When young man he
was engaged as tutor in private family.
His young lady pupils resented his strict
ness, and the mother foolishly took sides
with her daughters. In petty spite, when
company was invited to the house. young
Chalmers was shut out from the table and
dinner was sent to his room.
He made no protest against the treat
ment, but when it was attempted again he
told the servant he had ordered dinner at
a neighboring town and should need moth
ing. When this had been done few times
an explosion came. The master of the
house called Chalmers to account for in
sulting his family. Chalmers replied that
he had been insulted by Punishment from
the table. The young teacher conquered,
and ever after held his place as one Of the
family at all social satherings.-New York

seven were killed instantly, one was
seriously injured and twelve were so
badly hurt that they had to be taken
Gw5J in ambulances, though all of the
latter will probably recover.
