and Ephraim mad not yet whipped a
bear.
One day fine yearling bear was
freed, and as Cuffy was climbing to
place of safety old man Hatfield cut off
a piece Of the animals tail with quick
blow of his knife, and the bear came
down. Ephraim threw his gun and
knives to the boys and cried out;
Hes a likely varmint Stan aside,
boys, an watch yo' dad. I'm comm,
BARI And he clutched the bear by the
throat
The animal got its paws around
Ephraim, and they fought, rolling in
every direction, until it was almost i'm
possible TO distinguish man from beast
in the cloud. The boys held the dogs
and encouraged the old man by shout
ing TO him:
$50 it, papl You've got emf Give
1t to i'm, dad!
Down the hill the two rolled until
they could roll no farther.
''Let loose the dogs p' shouted the old
man. Let 'em loose The critters got
mep'
But the boys thought the old man
would never have better opportunity
to realize his ambition and whip year
ling bear and kept the dogs away.
Finally Ephraim, seeing that he was not
TO have assistance, began 60 use his feet
and hands with an energy born of de-
spair, and il half an hour he succeeded
in choking the animal to death, but not
until his clothes We're torn to shreds and
his face and body We're covered with
gaping wounds, from which the blood
flowed so freely that it left crimson
trail wherever the man went. Dragging
the carcass out of the pit Ephraim start
ed after the boys, and it would have
Jared roughly with them, but they fed
The old man reached his home and was
almost dead from loss of blood, but his
ambition had been realized-he had
whipped yearling bear in a fair fight
The boys hid out in the woods for sew
eral days, and would not return until
their father, whose joy at his success
had got the better of his pain and an
ger, sent them word that he would not
whip them if they returned. Hatfield
never wearied telling how he whipped
ayearling bear, and his sons are equally
croud of their fathers achievement

NEW YORK. Sept. &.-An attempt TO
blackmai well-known Newark lawyer
a short time ago was frustrated by his
hrmness and prOmptncss Of action, and
punished in q novel way.
a hne-lOoking and somewhat notorious
woman. who keeps a saloon in an adJon-
ing village. called at his Office and de-
mandcd 500 lie promptly refused 10 give
her a cent, and she threatened 10 go and
call upon his wife.
Go along at once" he said. not baliev-
ing that she would carry out her threat.
But after thinking after she had gone
that she might 10 so. ne called up his
home on the Office telephone. He has two,
big. stout. and faithful German girls en-
p.1Ned as servants, and when one or them
responded 10 the call he gave her a
description OF the adventures and told
i'er 10 be on the lookout for her.

her i'm and take her to the reception room
Don't call my wife. but get Lena, and
then both Of YOU pitch IN and give her a
licking. Take broomstcks or anything
else TO her and after you nave pounded
her throw her out. II my wife asks any
thing about II tell her that it is by my

the two German girls We're TOO heavy for
her. She made a stlff fight in the little
room, but emerged In five minutes with
both eyes nearly closed and with innu-
merablc bruises on her arms and body.
How the lawyer explained the matter
20 his wife is entirely private matter
The girls could tell her nothing when she
came down stairs and saw them throwing
