An hour later, at the rising Of the
moon, they started for the bear hunt.
Reinaado was not Of the party.
They rode over the mountain, through
the forest and down into little farm In
the valley. The Indians were waiting
and killed o bullock at once. placing the
carcaSs in conspicuous place. Then all
retired to the shade of the trees. In less
than half hour bear came prowling
out of the forest and began upon the
meal 30 considerably provided for him.
When his attention was fully engaged
Rotscheff and the officers, mounted,
dashed down upon him swinging their
lassos. The bear showed fight and stood
his ground, but this was an occasion
when the bear always got the worst Of
1t. One lasso caught his neck, another
his hind foot, and he was speedily
strained and strangled to death. No
sooner was he dispatched than another
appeared, then another. and the sport
grew very exciting. absorbing the atten-
tion of the women as well as the ener-
gies Of the men.
Estenega lifted Chonita from her horse.
"Let as walk" he said. They will not
miss us. A few yards farther and you
will be ON my territory. I want you
there"
She made no protest and they entered
the forest. The moon shone down through
She lofty redwoods that seemed to scrape
It's crystal: the monotone Of the distant
sea blended with the faint roar of the
tree tops. The vast gloomy aisles were
unbroken by other sound.

A Shred of Silk.

In the church of Alverstock down
by the Hampshire coast there is hang
ing a stained and tattered piece of
silk, the sight of which can scarcely
fail to rouse sense of pride in the
breast of even the most phlegmatic
of Englishmen. It is all that war
and the seasons have spared of an
old regimental color of the Forty
fourth Foot, but it is record Of inn
perishable heroism.
It was waved through the battle
smoke around the Burmese forts; it
has traversed the Indian plains it has
climbed the mountain wall that lifts
upward from the Indus shore; it has
witnessed a struggle between hand
full of Englishmen and whole ma
ton in arms; it is the very flag that
foated over the bayonets on that
fatal morning in the year 1S4S as the
battalion filed slowly through the
breach in the contonment wall at
Cabul out into the winding sheet Of
snow stretching from the city to, the
grim defile of the Jugdulluck.
The men who guarded the banner
are sleeping by the Cabul road. It's
blackened shreds, perhaps the only
vestige that is left of the whole
doomed column, rest there in the
quiet Hampshire church in a case Of
glass and oak.-Temple Bar.

Rank and lSiAtiOnA.

Two distinct military organizations
were at first created in the south, 70.
spectively known US the regular and
the provisional or volunteer army.
The former belonged to the general
or state government. The latter was
the offspring of the people. One was
intended to be permanent. The ex-
istence of the other depended on the
duration of the war. In a measure,
however, the regular army was
merged in the provisional organiza.
ton, and it's officers, who were gen
orally graduates of West Point and
other military schools, were trans
ferred to the volunteers and pro-
NOTED to high grades.
The men were not unlike those in
tho regular service in all civilized
nations and were restrained by the
same rigid discipline. On the other
hand, the volunteers were a free and
easy lot, who fraternized with their
officers, and until the severer lessons
Of the war were taught maintained
all equal footing with them.
One day an alteration took place
between a captain and private. In
the course of the dispute the subor-
dinate made an irritating remark,
when the officer exclaimed, IF you
repeat that again, will lay down my
rank and fight YOU" Lay down
your rank was the indignant re-
spouse. That won't make you a gen
tleman. A coward ought to fight
with straps on his shoulders, but it
takes a gentleman to fight for $11

Different Ways of Putting It.

This is scientific way: IF man
falls asleep in the sitting posture with
his mouth open, his jaw drops; the
tongue not being in contact with the
hard palate, the succotorial space is
obliterated; the soft palate no longer
adheres to the roof Of the tongue,
and if respiration be carried on
through the mouth the muscular cur
tain begins to vibrate." And this is
the popular form, IF man doesn't
keep his mouth shut when asleep, he
will snore. "-L0ndon Tit Bits

Weight of Gold and Bills.

Said Mr.. C. K. Stout of the treas
ury office, as He sat before the scales
with $4,000 or $4,000 in double
eagles at his elbow, "How many 81
bills do you think it would take to
weigh as much as one Of these coins?''
The reporter considered a moment
and made guess.
1T takes just q, unless the bills
are trimmed close. Twenty-eight
new 81 bills always weigh little
more than double eagle. Don't you
believe it? Just wait"
He disappeared in a vault for few
minutes and presently emerged with
package Of brand new dollar bills
in his hand. Then he counted out q
of them and said to the reporter:
''Choose any coin you will"
The reporter chose a coin, which
Mr.. Stout put on one of the scale
pans. Then he put the % dollar bills
ON the other pan. The long needle
that moves on the index showed that
the beam was almost level The man
of money added another bill to the
~, and the coin went up. Then the
reporter offered to treat, for his guess
had been shy just 973 dollar bills

Window Reporter: The Marshall
News Messenger has been studying
the question q, churches in the eastern
states and finds that the people there
are suffering for the want of religious
instruction, but in the West the News
Messenger finds states of things
bordering on the excess of religious
work. "There is another side," says
this journal. ITO this picture of appar-
ent zeal, and we have come to the be-
lief that many western towns are
church poor with an over abundant
supply. With salaries of clergymen
maintenance of church expenses, and
parsonages, and interest on indebted
ness, the expenditures of Marshall
churches can hardly be less than
$1,000, or an aggregate of $4,000 per
year." The case of Marshall is some
thing not dissilnilar to Window,
where we have six church denomina-
tons, w. G. T. U. organization and
a surfeit of lodges. The financial call
upon the community is very large
and is frequ emily spoken of as bur
densome.

Hills Crescent:-For some time past
St. Paul firm has been manufac-
turing aluminium checks for the use
of merchants in country towns, who
deal them out in place Of cash for
country produce. Last week treas
ury official appeared upon the scene
and demanded stop to their manu-
facture upon the grounds that they
are violation of the counterfeit law.
A large number of these coins, or
checks, as they are called, are in Rock
county, and the Crescent suggests Il
discontinuance of their use until this
question is settled. 1t may save much
money and trouble.

The firm referred to in the follow
ing article by the Luverne Herald is
Nelson Bros: One of the leading
mercantile firms in this place takes in
on an average about $25,O0O worth Of
butter and eggs every year, nearly all
of which is produced in Rock county.
This firm keeps record Of all the
butter and eggs it takes in and the
names of the patrons who furnish this
produce. 81 looked over this list a
short time ago." remarked member
Of the firm few days ago, "and OBJ
served those who sell us butter and
eggs do not owe Us anything" The
fact thus disclosed is certainly signifi
cant and important. The conclusion
to be drawn from it is that those far
mers who raise grain exclusively run
in debt for their groceries and other
merchandise, while those who give
attention to minor products Of the
farm are able from the proceeds of
these products to 'pay as they co.

The federal election laws, says the
Manka alto Free Press, ''have been an
object of deadly hatred by the demo
Gratis because they stood in their way
in the matter of a complete sweep in
the South, and the carrying of North
ern cities by fraud. The growing
restlessness in the South was simply
the forerunner of the break that must
in time come to the solid South, un-
less something is done to prevent.
With the hated laws out of the way
of counting up as large majorities as
desired and nothing short of revolu-
ton will be able to overcome them.
The people may grow as restless as
they please, but if the oligarchy can
have have the counting of votes free
from all danger of federal interference,
they do not care for whom they are
cast"
