"A hunter riding through the woods
near Gray's river, Wash, recently,
came to a big fallen tree in his path.
The ground seemed clear on the other
side. and he leaped his horse over the
trunk. The horse landed squarely on
the back of a bear, which evidently
had been asleep there. The bear was
as much startled as the horse and
quickly made off, while the hunter was
thrown to the ground, the horse pitch
ing him out of the saddle sideways in
its frightened leap away from the bear.

AN old wooden-wheel Bartholomew
clock, of the kind in common use at the
beginning of the century, was brought
to a jeweler in Hazel Green, Ky, one
day recently, to be repaired. The old
lady who brought it said it had been in
her family since 1884, and had kept toll
erably good time. But one of the
wheels had become worn out. The
jeweler sawed out a new wheel with a
jig saw, and fixed up the old clock so
that it licked out the time as accurate
IL as ever.

More than one attempt has already

the whole diplomacy of Europe into a

The one prominent fact was as simple
as It was astounding. Whilst congress
was sitting to settle the terms of a

matsts was known to depend largely
on their keeping their proceedings abso-
lutely secret until they should have ar

of the treaty suddenly appeared in the
columns OF a wellknown London news
paper. A thunderbolt falling in their
