LASSOING A BEAR.

1t Is az Exciting Sport in the Great
Far West.
After an hours weary travelling down the
winding way we came outon the plain and
found a small cow outfit belonging to Mr.
Stevens, and under a tree lay our dead silver
tip, while a half dozen punchers squatted
about IT, says Harper's. 1t appeared that
three OF them had been working UP n the
foothills when they heard the dogs and
shortly discovered the bear. Having no
guns, and being on fairly good ground they
coiled their lariats and prepared tOdo battle.
The silver tip was badly blown, and the
three dogs which had stayed with him were
so tired that they sat up at respectable dis
tauce and painted and lolled. The first rope
went over bruins head and one paw. There
lies the danger. But instantly number two
flew straight to the mark and the ponies
surged, while bruin stretched out with a
roar. third rope got his other hind leg
and the puncher dismounted and tied it to a
tree. The roaring, biting, ella wing mass
of hair was practically helpless, but to kill
him was an undertaking.
"Why didn't you brand him and turn him
loose?" 1 asked of the cowboy
t'WeI," said the puucher, in his Texan
drawl 1--WE could have branded him all
right, but we might have needed some help
In turning him loose"
They pelted him with malpais, and II.
nally stuck knife into a vital part, and
then loading him on a pony they brought
him in. 1t was daring performance,
but was regarded by the punchers as a
great Joke. iss .....

A Hayseed In Town.

There were thirteen men of US holding
down seats In a Fourth avenue car the
other day, while four women who couldn't
get seats were hanging to the straps, when
a man at the front end of the car, who had
been busy with the contents OF his grip,
suddenly rose up and asked one of the wo-
men to accept bis seat. In reply to her
THANKS" he said:
Not at all, ma 'am-not, at all. I'm
sorry 1 didn't offer it before. Hope you
will excuse me, ma am"
She bowed in the affirmative, and he
said:
II am not New Yorker, ma'am. No, I
don't live here. You suspected as much,
presumed"
She looked up curiously, but didn't reply
aud he glanced around the car and contin-
ued:
I'm what you folks call a provincial.
you kuow-live out in country town. We
are hayseeds out there and have rustic
ways. For instance, you would never see
twelve Of our men occupying seats in a
street car while three ladies had to stand
up. Regular country style that is, but We
can't help it."
The twelve Of us looked full at him and
sought to bulldoze him into silence, but
it didn't work.
We've got few professional loafers, Of
course, but / can't remember when one OF
them kept his seat and obliged a lady to
stand. Twelve men comfortably sitting
down, and three women lurching around
as they hang to the straps! It's New York.

L do not know what he confessed to. 1 rose
up and went out and dropped off the car
aud was folio wed by eleven others and when
the car had passed we went into caucus
aud bound each other by solemn oath

our lives IL we ever ran across him again.

The climax in this modern activity Of
women was reached in Rome, Ga. one day
last week, 1t would SEEM A Roman youth

be said to an Atlanta Journal writer
Yes" he said, they ran the cars in our
town Friday. Some Of our prettiest girls
plumed themselves out in the nobbiest
gowns, and. perching a saucy little cap,
into which they had daintily and fancifuny
embroidered the word Conductor on top
Of their charming heads, they took fare
for day.
1T was a picnic for the passengers as
well as the girls. They enjoyed it i'm
mensely. 1t was jolly holiday affair all
around. Some of our young fellows rode
themselves into temporary bankruptcy.
They deserted their business entirely, and,
flling their pockets with nickels, they
spent the day with the fair conductors.
There wasn't any rule forbidding them
to talk TO the conductors.
"A good-looking fellow couldn't escape.
Every time be turned corner a sweet voice
would call to him to come and get on and
ride. IF you DON'T they would say, IN

sir, it meant boycott at the germans, the
teas, the swell outings for the next four or
five months. 1t didn't matter whether a
fellow wanted to ride or not; they didn't
care If he was going in an entirely differ
ent direction to meet An important business
engagement and couldn't spare the time,

1t was rare fun. Many funny and ridicu-
ious things happened, OF course, but the con-
ductor maidens acquitted tn hemselves

been made in a single day since the line was

He VIII Succeed.

Like his brother of the North, the South
ern small boy Is capable of much. A writer
in the New York Home Journal says that
upon her arrival in a Southern town her
cabman was a small boy, aged about 8.
The cab had two seats, aud the boy told
her that If during her stay she wanted a
carriage she could get him at any time by
inquiring for Jackson's express-price 6
bits an hour.
Are you Jacksou?'' asked
"Yes, ma am" said the expressmau, Do
1itely and with great dignity Then,
lapsiug into boyishness, he added:
You see, this used TO be our carriage
But papa died and mamma isn't strong
and there isn't much money-and--"
Something certainly filled the boys
throat, for his voice broke and, hastily
becoming cabman again, he frightened the
reius and indulged in flourish of the whip
But after little he turned about and added:
''Its real comfort 1 think, to earn
Jour living"

that degree of proficiency where they can
experiment on the innocent public.
Only day or two ago 1 was travelling
down the avenue in one OF the late, Mr.
Elliott shepard's stage coaches, mildly
adnjrinE the comeliness Of two demure
girls who sat opposite. Pretty soon a COR
pulent Germ. n entered with huge market
basket on his arm. In few moments
there issued from that ba sket a wonderful
succession Of crowings, cacklings, grows
and squalls that amused the passengers
and astounded the Teuton. He raised the
lid Of his hamper and anxiously peered
inside. There was absolutely nothing
there, as we all could see. Silence for
briefspace, and then the aosnd ofa frig htful

THE CIRCULAR SAW.
It Was Invented in America by q
Com bmRk ker.

II was Invented In America by q
COmbmaker.
A correspondent states that the circular
saw was first invented in America in 1870
by a bombmaker named Hartshorn who
used a common hand saw to saw out the
horn between the teeth, thus forming one
OF those o'd-fasaioned horn combs, say the
Philadelphia Record.
Finally, thinking 1t q rather slow pro-
cess, he took what used to be called a
"Bungtown "copper"" filed it down thinner,
drilled q hole through its center, then
squared the hole and cut the teeth around
its outer edge, placed it upon a mandrei
true and permanent, then put it upon bis
lathe. and with the flat horn lying upon q
wooden rest, he sawed out his combs.
From the copper he shortly cut up his
back-saw and converted it into circular
saws. This man, Hartshoru, lived and died
in Mansfield, Conn. He also invented the
screw and lip auger, also the bits, Fuch a.
are used In the brace. He was asked why
he did not put in ais claim for compensation
long afterward, whenhe had a patent office.
His reply was that il he had done any
thing that was benefit to his fellow men
they were welcome to It.

GRANTS SUMMER GIRL.

and Its Radiant Possibilities.
1t is safe to aIlege that the average sum-
mer girl in this country has been doing al
she ought to do in the way Of dancing, pranc-
Ing, gadding, going, working and generally
spending her vital powers in the autumn,
winter and spring Immediately preceding,

quite smuch as her parents, physical l, men-
tai and moral ozone, says Robert Grant in

But what does she perfer to do? Whittier
Is she bent on leading her father by the nose,
with the assistance of her mother? To
various places, according to her special pre-
dilection and the farthest linit of the par
entail purse. If possible to one of the gayest
watering places, where she hopes to bathe,
play tennis, walk talk and drive during
the day, paddle, stroll, or sit out during
the evening and dance until IL o'clock at
ut night two or three times a week
Else to some much advertised mountain
cataract or lake resort to lead a stagnant
hotel corridor and piazza life in the fond
hope of seeing the vividly imagined him
alight from the stage coach some Saturday
night. Meanwhile, she is one of threescore
forlorn girls who haunt the office and make
eyes at the hotel clerk. The summer girl
has a mania for the summer hotel. 1t
seems TO open to her radiant possibilities
She kindles at the mention of hop in Au-
gust and if she is musical, the tingle of her
piano playing reverberates through the
house all day until the other borders are
driven nearly crazy. And SO it goes all
summer. When autumn comes and the
leaf is about to fall and Dorothy returns
to town what has she TO show for it? A
little tan and a callous heart, q promised
winter correspondence with the hotel
clerk, ne W slang, some knack at banjo play

mind as to whom she is engaged to or
whether she is engaged at all

Japanese Armor.

An accidental but important discovery
is announced, writes a correspondent at
Yokohama. "It must have occurred to
many of your readers that although the
fights in Manchuria have been called v-Ey
severe tthe Japanese losses have invari-
ably been few and those OF the Chinese
were heavy. Much of this disparity has
been due to bad Workmanship on the part
Of the Chinese, but a part Of the immunity
has been owing to the fact that to keep out
the cold the Japanese wore quantity Of
floss silk under their clothes. This Is a
very light and flexible material, and in
many cases has acted as bullet proof
shield 1t is impoftaut-enough to deserve
attention at the hands of the British
military authorities, ,"-London Daily News.

leaving o wife and helpless family. Their
only property consisted OF an old mare, and
more to Oblige them than anything else I
bought the old horse. She wasgentle and my
wife adopted her for her own driving and
wasmuc pleased for awhile. a s the old mare
was so gentle that my wife could drive her
about town herself.
"It seemed, however, that the mare had
once belonged to an old lady over in New
Albany who had a ma mia on the subject
of funerals and made point never to miss
one. The old mares principal occupation
for years had been TO follow funeral pro-
cessions to the cemeteries. One day my
wife was driving down the street when she
suddenly encountered a negro funeral, fol-
lowed by a number of societies. with all the
paraphernalia of an imposing cortege.
"The old mare recognized the procession
at a glance nd calmly turned into the line
of the parade. In vain my wife tugged at
the reins and tried to turn out. The old
mare knew her business, and with head hung
down solenlnly followed close behind the
mourners. Occasionally they would meet
anacquaintanceo ofoursand they looked with
surprise at the tribute which my wife was
apparently paying to the decea sed, until my
wife was frantic with modification and an
ger.
AT every crossing she would appeal TO
bystanders to stop the old mare, but they
didn'tseem to understand. until at last they
passed policeman, who, in response to my
wife's fearful appeals, stopped the old mare
and dragged her out of the procession, much
to her eatsurprise and disgust Ofcourse, I
had good laugh over it. bltit wa nolaugh-
