Don't Blame the Girls.

There has been deal of worrying
about the fact that the young women
of this country prefer single to married
life, but perhaps the dear girls are not
SO much to blame after all. There are
3, 600, 900 men over 80 years of age in the
United States who have never married,
and, as man proposes, the preference Of
so many men for bachelor life has much
to do with the number of single women.

Il have been very kind to YOU. i.

have been very kind to you.
haven't made this diskivery, but
if you have been kind to me I'm much
obleoged.
Il have been kind to you, and now
want TO tell you what l am goin to do.
I'm goin to maui you.
And he did maui him. He snatched
the mountain man out Of the wagon and
walloped him in the road. And during
the performance the bear sat in the
wagon and looked on with an indiffer-
ence complete in every detail. The
mountain man climbed back to his seat
as soon as Steve granted him that priv
ilege, and gathering mp his hickory SAT-: :
After all, | reckon you know yo'
own mind best-don t reckon you real
ly do want to buy bar. Goodby,
sah.''
Evening came, and strangers who had
heard that desperate man would wres-
tie with ferocious bear gathered at the
place Of encounter.
Now, gentlemen, -" said Steve, 1.-THE
time has come for me to show you what
white man can do. All my folks were
bar fighters, and so far as heard from
not one of them was ever whipped
Some hunters have Just brought in
monstrous bar from down in the bot
toms, and all that want to see me fight
him just pay 25 cents and come ahead.
A number of men paid their money
and followed him into the back lot.
Those who were acquainted with the
indolent habits of the bear said moth
ing, partly through fear of incurring
the enmity of old Steve, but mainly to
foster laugh at the expense of the gul-
lible tenderfeet.
Steve conducted the spectators to the
tree where the bear was chained. The
brown of evening, making a mystery of
the huge black mass of animal life and
hiding the patches on his coat, pro-
claimed him savage monster.
Gentlemen" said Steve, befo'
go into this here fight / want to tell you
that | don't deserve no sympathy, for
I've brought it on myself. Here goesl''
He made a lunge at the bear. The
monster threw himself in an upright
position against the tree and caught
Steve in his arms. For moment there
was silence, and then a loud yell split
the stiffness of the deepening twilight.
The bear boxed Steve, he hugged him
time and time again and then appeared
to be biting him.
Take him away! He's killing mel"
the gladiator cried. Two men seized
Steve's legs and drew him beyond the
BEARS reach, and the monster-and in
deed he was one ow-stretched his
chain in the effort to renew the engage
ment. Steve was taken into the house.
He was covered with blood, and it was
evident that number of his ribs were
broken.
Have You anything to say?" some
one asked. 1t may be probable that
you can't talk after awhile.
IAN I've got to say is this, )" Steve
groaned. II wish | hadn't got so in
termate with that blamed bar"
Several men went out with lantern
to look at the victor. They found moth
ing but a chain under the tree, but
down farther, in a fence corner, they
found worn and flea bitten bear asleep.
Had they continued their search, how
ever, they might have found down the
road mountain man helping his bear
into wagon, and they might possibly
have learned that the mountain man,
for purposes peculiarly his own, had
liberated the lazy bruin and had tenn
porarily chained his own bear to the
tree.-Exchange.
