II discovered silver quartz, and becoming
interested, left my rifle and wandered con-
siderable distance from It. / had started to
return, and when on a narrow ledge over
looking preoipioe perhaps 100 feet deep,
met grizzly. He was within six feet OF
me before | saw him, and, being unarmed,
l thought it was all up with me.
We stood staring at each other for per-
haps minute, then he came up to me and
deliberately snuffed me over. 1 stood with
my back TO the rock and he was between
me and the chasm. l dropped my hammer
in front of me and that attracted his atten-
ton. He snuffed at il and struck at 1t with
his paw, knocking It over the ledge

it, and bracing myself gave him a ire

Samuel Mfnturn Peck In the Century.
Her eyes display a blended hue
OF summer skies and violets blue,
With just a hint of April dew
To make her glances bright;
But. lest their luster be too fair,
And brighter than the world could bear,
Long lsshes, like silken snare,
Befringe her lids OF white.
Shy apple blossoms flushed with morn
Have lent their color to adorn
Her cheek, whereon is gayly born
A dimple with each smile.
Her Maynard tresses scorn to rest
By ribbon bound or fillet prest,
And ever weave at their behest
Fresh graces to beguile.
Her curving lips by turns recall
Red roses, poppies cherries-all
That wins the eye or could enthrall
A hermit or saint.
Her cleaning teeth t we're vain TO hymn;
The brightest words are all too dim;
The artist who their light would linn
Must crush pearl for paint.
Beneath her kirtle peeps foot
That charms in slipper, gaiter, boot;
Whose music makes the birds grow mute
With Bonded heads to hear
Her hand can boast perfecrion's mold,
In winter warm, in summer cold,
And Just the temperature to hold
At any time Of year.
A snowy neck, O witching chin,
An ear In tint the sersheii's twin,

Differed From Marv,s Lamb

Miss Julia A. Wragg, who teaches the Cherry
vale district school, had strange visitor last
THURSDAY afternoon, says a Scranton pa ) dis
patch TO the New York sun. A large flock of
geese belonging to Farmer Austin D. Mulkins
we're picking grass in front of the schoolhouse
while Miss WragE was hearing a recitation
suddenly the geese began to squan as though
something had scared them and they kent nm
their racket so long that Miss Wragg went to
the door TO see what the matter was.
a fox had seized one Of the geese by the
neck and the rest of the flock had formed a cir
Gle around bold Reynard, and were Kissing and
squslling and beating him with their bills, as
though they were determined to force him to
drop the futtering goose.
Miss WraRg shouted, and the fox broke
through the phalanx OF noisy fowls. dashed past
her, and dragged the goose into the schoolhouse
Miss WraRg followed him in and shut the door
and the pupils flung their books at the fox till
over the desks and benches. The boys yelled
the girls screamed. and the fox leaped upon
counter; made wreck Of window, and
damned his nose through pane of glass
Just as Reynard was about to gain his free
dom Miss Wragg seized him by the tail and
pulled him back from the window. Then he
curled up and bit her hand, and she let 20 his
tail very quickly. The fox was so badly fright
ened that he didn't know which way to run
The boys were yelling and trying TO get crack
at him. and he lodged their blows and dRrted
into lockwood stove In which there was no
fire. Miss Wragg slammed the door, thinking
that she had trapped the fox, and in doing so
INC stONeplpe DOWN, ana the fox
popped out of the pipe-hole as black as SCOT and
made break for the window again Elmer
Hastings, pupil, drove him back with q ruler
and the fox ran into a Closet where the girls
hung thoir buds The boys hustled him out,
and he darted into the entry, climbed q ladder
like fireman and hid In the garnet.
Miss Wragg took the ladder down and one OF
the boys ran and told Mr.. Mulkins about the
fox. MIR. Mulkins soon came with his hound
By that time his goose was dead in the school
house. He put the ladder In place, lifted the
hound into the garnet. and told him to 20 for
the fox. Mr.. Mulkins, Miss Wragg and the ex-
cited pupils heard a lively scrimmage In the
garrett for minute or SO. Then they heard
the hound yelp az though he was getting the
worst of 1t, ana the next instant the hound and
fox fell through the hole to the entry floor
The fall separated them, and the fox gave one
snap at the hounds nose, turned like fash
dashed out OF the door before any one had a
chance 70 stop him, leaped the fence with the
hound at his heels and went limping across tue
field. The hound soon caught him, but Reynard
fought him like a cyclone till he turned tail and
then the fox legged it to the woods and got
