AN EFFECTIVE RERuKE.

A short time since a party of men
were passing an evening in an Indiana
hotel playing game of ''clinch." Seated
near by was an Onlooker, callOw youth,
evidently making his first trip, who at
every fine play that was made or good
hand that was held would emit series
of Oaths as sulphurous as Sam Jones' S
sermons. One of the party, portly dig
nified man, was manifestly annoyed by
the young man, and finally asked him TO
desist from such profane comments, re-
marking that it was useless and foolish
habit. The callow youth replied that it
was habit that cost no money, and he
had lots of company. For a few seconds
he remained quiet, but at last broke
out again worse than ever, as an unusual
ly good hand was beaten. Rising from
his chair and towering above the little
fellow, the dignified gentleman said:
young man, asked you as a gentle
man to desist from your profanity. By
your continuance of it consider it di-
rect insult to me. wish to inform you
that the name you take in vain so glibly
is that of dear friend of mine, ana an
especially dear friend of my mothers,
and, doubt not, of your mother as WELL
If another oath passes your lips in my
presence [ shall be tempted to forget
myself and teach you by bodily force a
lesson you have evidently failed to learn
reverence of your Maker"
With these words he again seated him
self, and the youth skunk from the room
like a whipped cur.

TRICKS OF PENNSYLVANIA BEARS

While Augustus SwartZkopff of the
Dutch Mountain, Pa, was grading buck
wheat at the foot of steep bluff on his
place last month, a log came tumbling
down the hill directly toward him. He
had lot of log heaps on the level top of
the bluff that he was going to burn in a
few days, and he imagined that some
mischievous boys had come along from
the chestnut woods and rolled the log
down just to see him jump. 1t knocked
down some of the uncut buckwheat,
and as Swartzkopff couldn't see any one
on the crest of the bluff, he kept at work
as though he hadn't noticed the log. In
a little while another log rolled down,
eight or ten rods from where the other
one had startled him, and he dropped
his cradle and ran up the bluff to catch
the unruly boys. When he got to the
top he didn't see any boys, but he got a
glimpse of pair of goOd-sized bears
that were waddling toward the opposite
side of the choDping, and he made up
his mind that they were the scamps that
had rolled the logs. The bears looked
over their shoulders at him every few
steps, and in telling about his experience
the next day, Swartzkopff said they had
appeared to be gloating over the trick
they had played ON him. They soon
disappeared, and SwartzkOpff found
their tracks in the wet soil around two
of the log heaps, and also discovered
that log had been removed from each
heap. He returned to his work, and
about shutdown another log came bound
ing down the hill at him. When he
looked up he saw two bears peering
over the top of the bluff, and he decided
to put veto on the playful bears before
another day passed.
SO after dark that night Swartzkopff
set two steel traps close to pile of logs
near the edge of the bluff that the bears
had not meddled with. He placed the
traps on the side of the pile that faced
the buckwheat field, and fastened a
small log to each chain. Then he hung
a chunk of Limburger cheese over each
trap from the top log, and piled logs up
or the outside of the traps so that the
bears would have to go over the traps
to get the cheese.
At daylight the next morning the traps
hadn't been disturbed, and the Limbur-
ger hung over them all right. AS soon
as the dew was off, Swartzkopff went to
setting up buckwheat under the bluff,
on line with the Limburger, keeping
an eye out for the fun-loving bears.
They hadn't mace their appearance
when he raked up all the buckwheat
opposite the traps, and he began to
putter around he shocks in order to

stay on a line with the Limburger, think
ing that the bears would attempt to roll
a log down on him from the pile by the
traps. In little more than an hour
SwartzkOpff had the satisfaction of see
ing the bears come to the edge of the
bluff. few yards from the traps, and
peep down at him. He made believe he
was busy, but he saw the bears, and in
moment they started to sniff the air,
with their heads up. Suddenly they
wheeled toward the lOg-heap and made
dash for the Limburger. Both traps
snapped just as the bears sprang at the
cheese. There was loud cry Of pain,
and in an instant the bears came tearing
down the bluff toward Swartzkopff,
dragging the traps and logs after them
Swartzkopff ran to the house, for his
Winchester, and while he was gone the
bears knocked down lot of buckwheat
and lugged the traps to swale, fifteeA
yards away, where he shot them. One
weighed 29l pounds and the other 287.
Early in November, Parker Hartwell
of Tunkahanna Creek, in the Pocono
Mountains, missed some of his best
winter apples from the trees for several
nights in succession. One morning he
found the tracks of two bears in the
white frost IN the orchard, and at night
he set steel bear trap under the bOughs
of seek-no-further tree, and hung a
sleeps head to limb over it. The
moon was about full, and Hartwell
stayed in the barn, where he had good
view of the apple tree, and watched for
the bears to come. A little after 2
o'clock he spied two bears climbing over
the orchard fence. They waddled
stealthily from tree to tree, sampling
the apples as they moved along, and
pretty soon they made break for the
seek-no-f further tree in bee line Stimuli
taneously they sprang at the hanging
sleeps head; each got foot in the trap,
and there was vigorous pulling and
hauling and much music in the orchard
until Hartwell emerging from the barn
with his rife and shot both bears. The
old bear weighed 3l2 pounds and the
young one 143.

HOW 1T HAPPENED,

II found a curiosity in my Post Office
box the other day." said young broker
to Tribune reporter. II have been
trying to account for its presence ever
since. About week ago l went over
to the Post Office for the Office mail in
stead of sending the boy, and among the
ten OF a dozen letters was letter mailed
in Washington, d. c., addressed to
some one in that city. 1t was plainly
directed to number in f Street, N. W.
OF course it was easy enough to under
stand how local letter might have been
placed in New York package, but
what puzzled me was to account for it's
presence in my box. Among the hun
dreds of thousands of pieces of mail
matter distributed in tho New York Post
Office, how did that lie ter reach my
particular box?'
''Pll tell you a still more curious
story" said another in the group.
