NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Refiectlons.

At Wheeling, Bridgeport and Bellaire,
spelling classes have been organized and
several contests between classes from
different towns have been held. The
contests have been of much interest.
The plan has room for infinite develop
ment. Why should not town have
spelling clubs as well as foot ball and
base ball and bicycle and tennis clubs !?
Certainly the profit to the members Of
the club would be infinitely greater as
well as the profit to the public. Is it not
possible that in these latter days the
rage for battles of physical powers has
gone too far? And would it not be of
advantage to temper this spirit little by
occasional combats of intellectual gym
nastics? Barnesville and Cambridge
have the privilege of witnessing yearly
contest between their high schools. The
idea, as well as the spelling idea, seems
worthy of general imitation. In few
years, we might have county, state and
even national organizations. a code OF
laws and even stated meetings, such as
now exist in baseball and tennis. 1t
might not be so great an honor to be the
champion speIler of country as the
champion batsman or champion slugger,
but it would be a certain distinction to
be fought for.
The mere fact that Hawthorne wrote
a fine monologue represented to have
been spoken by the town pump, should
not be an excuse for the innumerable
jests that are being worked off by the
town wits on the digging of the well in
front of the Courthouse. This harmless
and necessary well is being made the
subject of great and toiisOme mental &C.
ton. For instance. one man inquired OF
another just after the machinery was
brought up, where is the well to be dug?"
to which the other replied, +" / am not
certain, but hear it's to be dug in the
ground" Another man thirsty for in
formation, asked, what are they digging
that well there for?" The other man an
swered him briefly and to the point, for
water" Another bold and reckless man
said of the boring apparatus just after a
team had been frightened by it into run
ming away, "isn't it a great bore?" This
sentiment we echo heartily. The thing
that excites a man to punning is as
suredly bore, as well as the man who is
so excited. No soeU drilled man viii al
low himself to be so carried away.

To what extent grasshoppers have devoured

With figures he will demonstrate the tragedy

He'll do any thing you want him to, except to

He will tell how many gravestones are exported

How many pairs of shoes trings, and the

"DE LOAD"
Autocratlc Colored Hack Drivers OF
Washington and Narseilles.

Autocratlc Colored Hack Drivers Of
Washington and NIarseilles.
The colored hack drivers of the city
of Washington are well known to be
more ''set in their ways" than almost
any other public carriage drivers in the
world. On one occasion some visitors
from northern city who had little in
terest in the public monuments OF
Washington. but who were greatly in
terested in the exuberant tree and
flower growth of the District of Colum-
bia, engaged a '.hach" in Pennsylvania
avenue, and asked the old colored driver
to take them to some of the quiet coun-
try roads and lanes about the city.
The old man looked at them with a
superior air and proceeded to take them
to the Washington monument, the
patent Office building and to other we'll
known show places in the capital.
"But we don't want to see these
things!' the visitors protested. I'VE
want to go out IA the country"
"Wha' de load know bout whar dey
wan to go?" answered the old driver,
eontemptuously. "De load ain gwin
know muffin bout Wash'nt'n! Igwine
show you de princcrpull objicks oh
int'russ!"
And he continued his drive up and
down Pennsylvania avenue through X
street and in front of the public build
ings.
But in the old world there is said tc
be set of drivers who are still more
autocratic with their ''loads" than those
of Washington. They are the cochers
of Marseilles. Once lady, having
been stranded in that French city fol
few hours between trains, and seeing
the blue sea glinting in the distance
was filled with desire to go and see it
She went out and found sleepy
facrc driver doing on his seat.
Driver she said, 'plcase take mi
out to the sea-"
''To the sea!' exclaimed the driver
"And what do you want to go ther
for, little one?"
ITO see il, to be sure!"
''To see the sea! Now that's YER
foolish. You would get all burned u
you would get all dust and sand. Nc
don't go to the sea shore, little one; g
back to your room and take littl
nap; thatll do yon a lot more good!'
! The driver resumed his DOING on hi
seat, and the lady, finding nothing bel
ter to do, obeyed his command

OF large stone tnat ne held In nie
hands and struck the bear over the
head with It. The blow only stunned
her for moment, but he struck her
several times and soon she lay quiet.
He knew she would be unconscious
for several minutes, so he ran for his
rife and then went to see how Harry
was getting along. He found things
just as he left them, and went for the
cub, which was still keeping the dog
busy. A few blows with the rifle soon
put the little fellow to sleep for good.
as the heavy barrel crushed his thin
skull us II II were china bowl.
When the cub lay still the dog did
not seem the least exhausted, but went
to where the old bear was under the
tree to see how she was getting along.
She was still unconscious, so he lay
down near by to wait until she came to,
as he could tell that she was not dead.
But this never happened, because
Charley, as soon as he saw that Harry
was all right, managed to fix his rife SO
that he could shoot with it, and put a
couple of bullets into the bears heart
as she lay under the trunk of the tree.
This ended the fight, and Charley and
the dog went to where Harry was lying
and sat down for moment to breathe.
! Harry was very weak, but there were
NC bones broken. He was scratched
about the arms and face, but the ter.
rible squeezing he received had bruis ed
his chest and crushed his lungs until he
| could hardly breathe. He said that he
didn't know what had happened to him
until he felt the bear dragging him out
of bed and carrying him off. He strug'
gled, but, of course, it did no good, and
had it not been for Charley waking up
he would, no doubt, have been devoured
While they were talking the dog had
gone to sleep, but suddenly pricked ur
his ears and listened. He heard a noise
and started for pile of rocks a few
hundred feet away, where it was evi
dent that he found something from the
way he commenced to bark.
Charley did not feel much like doing
any more hunting, but he took his rifle
in moment and ran to the spot. But
it didn't amount to much. Only lame
bear cub in very deep rift in the
rocks.
The little fellow just about had room
to turn around and could hardly have
got out by himself, even if he had moi
been lame. Charley could have killed
him, but concluded to let him live and
come after him some time.
When he went back and talked with
Harry about it they both agreed that
the cub was brother to the one that
had been killed. 1t was also clear that
the old she bear had intended Harry a.
a meal for the youngster and would
have thrown,him down to be eaten.
Charley obtained some water at {
water hole near by, and in an honl
Harry was strong enough to stand OF
his feet and be helped home. He il
still sick in bed from the effects of hi
hugging, but is getting better all th'
time.
Charley went after the cub the mex
day and he is now chained up in from
of Harry's tent He is quite tame ant
his lame leg is about well. But Harr.
never looks at him as he rolls over play
fully on the ground without thinkin:
how near he came to feeding the youn.
