ALost Fisherman,s stnrr.

81 had been fishing for trout one day
in a North Carolina mountain stream, !"
said sportsman, ''and was entirely un-
successful. Upon trying to reach camp
/ became lost and took refuge for the
night in small cave near Grandfather
mountain. The cave was dry and COM
Portable, and making a pillow of my
coat soon fell asleep. The next morn
ing l was awakened by something pull
ing at the coat, and opening my eyes saw
that it was cub bear.
"a few feet distant was large bear
sitting on its launches and another cub
playing around her. l had no weapon
of any kind and was completely at the
mercy of the animal, but she was not in
the humor to dispose of me Just then.
She sat watching the cub as it pulled at
my coat, and was careful to make no
motions that might be considered as hos
tile. For two or three hours we looked
at each other, and then the mother bear
ambled off with her two cubs, and l beat
a hasty retreat. st. Louis Globe DEM

avenue. paid his expenses there. We
ran along very comfortably for three or
four months. He kept at me to marry
him, but l refused. Then there came a
reason why should marry him-a much
more potent one than any argument he
had advanced or could advance. wanted
to do away with this argument He re-
fused to let me. He said he would report
it to Inspector Byrnes if did. He fright
ened me. Sometimes he would say it was
the best thing that ever happened, and he
would talk for hours about the delight of
having little one about.
FINALLY consented to marry him, and
the date was set for Christmas eve. But
when that day came didn't feel like get
ting marriea. was very fond of Frank,
but told him l would love him Just as
much If we were not married. That did
not content him. l believe he was really
fond of me, but l am sure he wanted
money more than anything else. On
Christmas eve went out of the house to
do some shopping When 1 returned, it
was after 10 p M, and Frank was sulky.
He said l could not care for him much to
treat him in that manner. l soothed him
and gave him the present had bought for
him.
"The following Saturday he asked me If
was going down town to my marketing.
l said was. went to store in Vesey
street, where l have always traded, and
there was Frank standing in the doorway.
when we left the store, Frank said he
was going over in New Jersey to see his
aunt, and he asked me to go along, as
had never met any of his relatives. He
took me to Elizabeth. When we arrived
there, he left me in the station while he
went out, as he said, to find out where his
aunt lived and to get carriage. He re-
turned in about an hour. l got into the
carriage, and we drove to three or four
places. Each time he got out he said his
aunt had moved. Finally he said he had
found the place. He took me into the
house, and then he said: Eva, this is the
house of minister and have brought
you here to get married. You will marry
me now, won't you?' At first refused. I
said that l didn't want to get married, but
he finally persuaded me.
And now, right here, let me say one
thing In the stories which Frank gave
to the newspapers shortly after this time

A Pleasant Man to Interview.

Professor Felix Adler. the founder of
the Ethical Culture society, is most
pleasant gentleman to interview. He
says that he has found the newspaper
man to be honorable in the highest de-
gree, and that he has never found it nee
essary to indicate what part of his con-
versation is intended for publication and
what part is to be considered as purely
personal. This of course means that
Professor Adler does not limit himself
in an interview to the matter directly in
hand. He is not unwilling 10 speak OF
things that are entirely too personal for
publication and will give an elaborate
discourse on metaphysics to his inter-
viewer and not express the least shade
of doubt as to its being correctly put
down.-Chicago Post.

How She Wears Her Hair.

Hardly a woman wears her hair en-
tirely plain. She may not be given to
putting and waving and curling the locks
themselves, but she is very apt to intro
duce some sort of ornament into It.
Bandeaux are very popular, and come In
gold, silver and tortoise shell, as well rs
in ribbon to match the gown. Then
there Is an especially elaborate piece Of
network Of gold and pearls called the
Mary Stuart Golf, which is worn over the
loosely coiled hair, but is rather expen-
sive for the woman of moderate means.
Very pretty braids in silver, with high,
crownlike fronts cut in long. slender
points, and either FURNISHED until thsy
,ldne like diamonds or left dull, are be-
coming to all faces, and need no special
a, rangement of the hair. us they sit well
ru the head, whether It Is arranged high
or ,ow.-New York Letter.

we were married, he told the minister he
was 40 years old, and that is the age which
appears in my marriage certificate, now In
my possession. His face shows that he Is
more than 30, and it did at that time.
After the marriage we went home, and
we lived along pretty much as we did be-
fore. For months we had happy time.
Along in the spring Frank got letter
from his brother Joseph, in Chicago, ask
ing him to come out there and assist him
in his work. Frank did not go at once, as
he wanted to finish his course in the col
lege. About April l he started for Chi
cago He remained there until June.
Then he and his brother quarreled, and
Frank went to Pittsburg to assist his fa-
ther in the bottling business. l remained
in New York Frank wrote loving letters
to me every day. giving me constant ad-
vice about the approaching event, to which
he referred constantly.

Pittsburg Aug. 8. For awhile everything
was lovely. Then the jealousy of Franks
NJ other began to make trouble. She and
Frank were together all the time. After
awhile he paid little attention to me. 1
could not understand the relation between
Frank and his mother. Once he had told
me that she was not his real mother.
Our life flowed along peacefully and
pleasantly for five months" Then, accord
ing to Mrs Buffum, began series of cruel
prosecutions by all the members of her
husbands family, which finally forced her
to leave Pittsburg and return to New York.
Then the doctor began an action for d.

She says when she married Buffum she
weighed 1888 pounds. In her youth she
must have been handsome woman. She
says she Is only 36, and she also says she
looks 10 years older, which is the truth.

fun, is handsome and sturdy and bright.
This baby plays most important part in
this case. In the suit for divorce Buffum
declares that his wife bought the baby and
palmed 1t off ON him. He insists that he
knew nothing about 1t until short time
before it was born. He has said that he
has discovered the woman from whom the
baby was secured.
II have said nothing in answer to these
charges" said Mrs. Buffum. MY time
will come when the case is called in court.
1t will be proved by the physician who
brought the baby into the world. Because

prove this. They will discover their blunder
