THE BEAR AND THE eRoNcHo.
Tom Buckley Lassoed Bruin and Thel
 Bolted From the Fight

Tom Buckley Lassoed Bruin and Then
 Boited From the Fight
 Tom Buckley was working on the spring roundup in the employ of one of the large cattle outfits in southern Montana While riding through n clump of bushes one day hunting cattle a full grown silver tip bear suddenly arose and confronted him. The only weapon at hand was his lariat, and with vii sions of juicy bear steak for the boys at supper around the mess wagon that night and a fine rug for tho pretty schoolmarm he quickly loosened his rope and threw 1t. 4 few turns over the saddle horn, at the same time spurring his horse, and the shock came. It was very severe, for unluckily the bears fore leg as well as his head was through the loop of the rope. Tom was about to drop the rope like a hot cake when the horse suddenly put his head down and started bucking in true broncho style.
 Thomas didn't last long. He suffered when he struck the ground, but he did not finger in the vicinity to ascertain the extent of his injuries He started for the top of n butte close at hand, and although an indifferent sprinter he man. aged to make very fair time.
 Looking back from his position of comparative safety, he could see that both animals had become entangled in the rope and were having it out in great style, making frantic efforts to free themselves. The rope finally parted. and away they went in opposite directions. or us he expressed it. They quit the country. hitting only the high spots. '' Chicago Record.

chosen assistant to Bishop Stevens of Pennsylvania, and on tho death of tho latter the next year was chosen as his successor.
 The public mind was somewhat excited in January, 1890, by an attempt to as- sassinate Bishop Whitaker during an evening confirmation service in St Johns church, Philadelphia Rev. Dr. George Latimer was reading tho Psalter and Bishop Whitaker was standing by the communion table when O lad of 20 years, David Alexander, in the third pew from the front, aimed pistol at the bishop and fired. He was instantly dis armed and taken out, and beyond Q scream from a lady there was no con- fusion. Bishop Whitaker proceeded with the service without pause, and till it was concluded did not know he had been shot at. Alexander was O mono maniac on prohibition and thought the bishop should be killed because he had advocated a license law.

A Dog Habit.

Have you ever thought why it is that a dog turns around and around when he jumps up on his cushion or starts to set tie himself anywhere for a nap? Now that you are reminded, you can recall that you have seen a dog do it many times, can't you? This habit is about all that is left to our tame little doggies of the days long ago. when they were a race of wild animals and lived in the woods. Their beds then were matted grass and leaves. and it was to trample enough grass and properly arrange the leaves that the dog always trod around O narrow circle before he would lie down The dog of today keeps up the same old habit, although there is no longer any need for 1t. and of course the animal has no notion why he does it, New York Times.

 In one of the valleys of the Smoky mountains I came across a.squatter who sat smoking his pipe on q stump at the door. The log cabin was a wretched affair. and the only crop in sight on the land around was half an acre of corn which had grown knee high and then turned sickly yellow. The man was ragged and had a starved look, and his wife on the doorstep behind him seemed still worse of. After the usual saluta- tions and a little general talk said:
 You don't seem to be getting along here very we'll. ''
 "Only jest tolerably-jest tolerably, 7" he replied

In China Lenz narrowly escaped death at the hands of supersti- tious natives on several occasions. At Mioweichow, near the hostile province of Human, Lenz was attacked by a crowd of farmers, who struck at him with hoes and carrying poles. A blow aimed for the plucky riders head missed that part of his anatomy, but carried away part of his ear. Better disposed citizens then interfered, and Lenz es- capped death.

Frank G. Lenz. the young Pittsburg bicyclist who left New York in June, 1892. on a tour around the world for an American magazine, has not been heard from for several months, and some fear is felt that he has met with foul play or succumbed to disease. Instead of going east. as did the pioneer globe trotter, Thomas Stevens. and his more success ful imitators. Thomas G. Allen and William l.. Sachtleben, the St Louis students, Lenz went westward on his worlds tour and was last heard from at Tabrees, not far from Teheran, the cap ital of Persia He had then passed through the dangerous portions of Chi na, where ignorant and hostile natives are inclined to attack any foreign dev
