Twas Not a Cabbage.

Before the eccentric George @.
Min became tragedian he was a
circuit clergyman in Iowa, and was
the pet of the women of his circuit.
When he appeared as star over the
same circuit his feminine admirers
We'd with each other as to which
could present him with the largest
and handsomest Bouquet, writes
Marie Adair, in the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
In Iowa City he appeared as Rich
ard III. A lady sat in a box with the
most monstrous bouquet the florist
could furnish. Frank Tannehill, ST.,
assumed the parts of Buckingham
and the dead king. Instead Of using
super, as is customary, to lie upon
the bier, Mr.. Min insisted that Mr..
Tannehill should lie there in his robes.
AS the funeral pageant crossed the
stage, this lady, not being a great
frequenter of the theater, regarded
this as the most fitting time to pre-
sent the bouquet.
AS the cortege reached the center
of the stage, the well-meaning wom-
an arose from her seat in the box,
and with all her strength hurled a
bouquet to the stage, 1t struck Mr..
Tannehill in the face with such force
that he decided it was a cabbage,
and regarded the situation as too
hazardous to permit his longer pos
ing on the bier. He sprang to the
stage and quickly made his exit.

oeered a bounty for English spar

offered a bounty for English spar
rows" said G. E. Reid, to a
Cincinnati reporter. THESE birds
had driven all others away, and had
multiplied until they became an un-
bearable nuisance. The son of a
brewer hit upon an ingenious scheme
and reaped a harvest. He arranged
little troughs through which the
waste beer would run, and scattered
food upon each side OF them. For
the first two or three days the birds
were not molested, at the end of
which time they had evidently noti-
fed all of their friends. They ate
the food and drank the beer and
every one of them became drunk. In
this condition they could be picked
up by the handful, and the boy gath
cred in hundreds of them. He would
eventually have lured every one in
the town into his trap if the bounty
had not been withdrawn"

s5,OoO,0O0 Tobacco Bill Saved.

CHICAGO, September 8 8-[Special. THE
Chicago Inter Oceans Illustrated Supple
ment. describing the great success and merit
of No-To- -Bac, has made it famous in day.
Mr. II. l.. Kramer, the active man, was
aeen to-day at his office, As Randolph street,
and In talking OF No-To-Bac's growth said
it was hard work to keep up with the rap
Idly increasing demand, as every box sold
advertised No-To-Bacs merit.
He said "No-To-Bac is not sold on the
strength OF the thousands and tens of thou
sands Of testimonial statements, but under
an absolute guarantee to cure or money re-
funded" That made long story about
merit very short, as it absolutely protects
the user from physical injury or financial
loss "Why," said he "No-To-Bac will
make 100, 900 cures this year, and the saw
ing will average $50. 90 for every one cured,
or grand total Of i5,000,0 900 saved from
going up in smoke and out in spit" No
To-Bac Is indeed, a God-send to the poor
man these hard times. According to the
testimonials, however, the money saving is
the least consideration, for almost every
one reports an improvement of the nervous
system, increase in weight, and a revival OF
physical and mental powers that is indeed
miraculous.
Prominent physicians look upon No-To-
Bac as great success, and are very free to
prescribe it.
Every wholesale drug house In this coun-
try and Canada sells No-To-Bac. and the
tail druggists are pushed TO supply the de-
mands of customers the direct mail demand
Is immense.
The cost of No-To-Bac compared with the
results Is a small matter as the saving in a
week pays the cost of cure for lifetime.
No-To-Bac is sold for 81 Il box, or three
boxes, 20. 80, with guarantee to cure, or
money refunded.

HARD TO KILL A GRIZZLY.
He Can Do Plenty of Damage When
NominaIly Dead


His Majesty, the Grizzly Bear than
for any other animal | ever tralled,
the tiger not excepted, writes W. L,
Hornaday in an article on the bears
of North America in st. Nicholas. 1t
is quite true that many an able
bodied Grizzly is caught mapping and
killed dead easy" as the baseball
language says, but so are big tigers
also, for that matter. In fact, l
know of one large tiger weighing
within five pounds of five hundred
who was promptly laid low by two
bullets from mere pop-gun OF
rifle, and there was no fuss about 1t,
either.
1t is easy enough to kill Grizzly
at a good safe distance of hundred
wards or so, which allows the hunter
to fire from three to six shots by the
time the teeth and claws get danger
ously near. But to ATTACK full y
grown and wde-aw axe UrsuS horri-
bills in brushy ground at twenty or
thirty yards distance is no chile, 9
play. As an old hunter once quaint
ly expressed it to me, GA Grizzly Bar
III git up an come at ye with blood
in his eye after he's nominally
dead !" The point of it is, this bear
is so big, and so enveloped in long,
shaggy hair, his head is so wedge
like, his strength and tenacity of life
so great, and his rage when wounded
so furious that at that short range he
is hard to kill quickly, and killed SC
dead that he cannot get a blow at the
hunter.
The strength in a Grizzly's arm is
tremendous, and when the blow
comes accompanied with claws five
or six inches long, like so many
hooks of steel on a sledge-hammer, it
tears to shreds what it fails to crush.
There are many authentic instances
on record of hunters and trappers
who have been killed by Grizzly
Bears, and / believe it could be proved
that this animal has killed more men
than all the other wild animals in
North America combined, excepting
the skunks and their rabies.
In the days of the early pioneers,
the only rifles used were the muzzle-
loading, hair-trigger squdrre[rlfies
of small caliber, and they were no
match for the burly Grizzly, either in
speed or strength. AS q result Bruin
had the best of it, and in time
brought about a perfect reign OF
terror among the frontiersmen who
trespassed upon his domain. For
my part l certainly would not want
to attack big Grizzly at short
range with my fathers old Ken
lucky rifle, Of 30 caliber, unless l
had my will made, and all my earthly
affairs in shape to be left for a
long period. But with the rise of
the breechloader the tables turned
and, like all other dangerous animals,
the Grizzly soon found out that the
odds were against him. TO be sure,
he still kills his hunter now and
then, sometimes by one awful stroke
of his paw, and sometimes by biting
his victim to death. But he has
almost ceased to attack men will
fully and without cause as he once
did. Unless he is wounded or corn-
cred or hinks he is cornered and
about to be attacked, he will gener-
ally run whenever he discovers a
man. But when he is attacked and
especially if wounded, he gets mad
clean through. Then he will fight
anything, even a circular saw, so it
is said, and give it five turns the
start
