mOld Chris"

nThe queerest character | ever met IL
old Chris Holgrave, Mormon mission.
arv. who lives in the Elk Mountains,
north of Laramie" said Major Thomas
Breckenridge. Pfesiden. Of the Story
Tellers' Club in session at the Southern.
"O,d Chris Is well known throughout
the entire West. He formerly lived in
Salt Lake City and was power in the
church, but when the split came on the
question of polygamy be cast his fortune
with the Joe Smith Saints and moved up
into the Elk Mountains, where he has
acquired world wide fame as a trapper
ard rifle shot. Every spring, when
the trapping season is over, be makes
his staff and sets forth to preach the
gospel of one wife Mormonism, tramping
over Wyoming, Idaho. Colorado and
Utah. lie is splendid specimen Of
physical manhood, six feet one, straight
as an Indian, tough as spring steel, with
long, white hair and beard sweeping
down below his belt. He enjoys the
reputation Of having killed more bears
than any American living or dead.
"a year ago last spring he brought
into Laramie and sold 500 bear skins,
the result Of one winters trapping. He
was assisted, however, by bis three
grown sons. Many Of the skins were
those of enormous grizzlies, that war
mint being extremely plentiful in the
Elk Mountains. He is marked all over
with the teeth and jaws OF bruin. /
bought an especially fine bearskin Of him,
and be told me that the original owner
came very near getting the best Of the
scrimmsge.
"He said be was trapping along q mar
row mountain path, en- route to his traps,
and In making sharp turn he met bruin
face to face. He had with him savage
wolf dog and muzzle loading rife. To
the left the mountain arose abruptly and
to the right was a chssm 300 feet deep.
The foot path was but a yard wide. The
dog sprang forwH1 and attacked the
bear, but bruin cpffed him over into the
chasm as though he were rabbit. Then
he advanced on the apostle of the silver
plate revelation. Old Chris threw down
on him, but his old rife hung fire, and
he only succeeded in wounding his as
sailant. The bear rushed forward and
he threw it his fur cap. 1t snuffed at it,
tore it into fragments and cufed them
over the ledge. That gave Chris time
to reload, and when bruin again ad-
vanced be got bullet in the brain. -

Our readers have doubtless noticed the

Of the evidence leaves no doubt as to the
superiority of the Royal Baking Powder il

given by Marion Harland, the well known

They All Loved Flowers.

1t stood In shabby neighborhood,
this house of which | write, but was
distinguished from others in the same
row by a small projecting window
filed with growing plants. Standing
on the street in front of it was a
young woman with a baby on one
arm and a market-basket on the
other, gazing delightedly at the
flowers, while the child, not accus-
toned TO such beauty and brightness.
was gazing with interest first at his
mother and then at the window.
Presently she passed on, and a group
Of boys-typical street gamins-ap-
preached. They were talking loudly,
and had reached the point OF heat,
when one Of them suddenly espied an
addition to the window in row of
pots close against the glass, in which
scarlet flowers were blooming "Say.
there are some more bloOmers," he
exclaimed, and five pairs OF eyes were
riyetcd on the window. and the dis
cussion began as to whether the
flowers were "the kind the rich buffers
thought so much Of" Nav, it's

clared the largest boy, pointing to a
chrysanthemum. Then they also
went away. Keeling from nearby
saloon, came a half-intoxicated man.
The bright colors caught his eye and
he came to swaying halt, catching
at the area railing beneath the win
dow. Some scene or phase of life
was recalled TO the -benumbed
brain by the flowers in this unwonted
quarter; there was a mental struggle
that became pathetic as he turned
unsteadily on his feet to go on his
way, shaking his head moufnfully.
But the lesson taught by the cheer.
fui blossoms-the glimpse of the bet.
ter things of life-may not have been
wholly lost: flowers have proved the
open sesame to many hearts when all
else has failed to find entrance. This
window has its mission; and through
its silent influence the world about it
is made better and brighter.

Cured OF n Broken Back.

Drs. James and Thomas Mccain, OF
Pittsburg, are about ready to report to
the medical fraternity the case of John
Mulligan, who was cured OF broken
back. In October, 1888, Mulligan re-
ceived n fracture of the vertebre, and,
as usual with such cases, was paralyzed
from the loins down.
Eight days after Mulligau's entrance
to the hospital the physicians, in the
presence Of seventy-fve students of the
West Pennsylvania Medical College,
made an incisiOn eight inches long in
the mans back. The vertebre we're ex-
posed. A fracture of the arches OF the
tenth and eleventh vertebre was found.
Fragments of bone were pressing on the
spinal cord. This pressure was relieved.
Two months later Mulliean could move
his right leg.
In ten months the patient walked out
of the hospital. He is now at work.
The report of the operation was kept
secret until it was proved perfect sue.
