[San Francisco Chronicle.l
As the hot sun began to pour down
we wend ed our way back to the ranch
and whiled the time away listening to
the yarns reeled off by the Colonel,
whose experience had been rich and
racy.
Talking about sport" he said, ere
minds me of little experience I had
with an Englishman some years ago up
in the main range. He came down from
Frisco with letter of introduction to
me, and wanted to get into the heart of
the big game country. It 50 happened
that had 400 or 500 head of cattle up
valley and camp there; so I took
him up and introduced him to half a
dozen cowboys regular 'old-timers-
and they guaranteed to show him all
the bear he wanted. They got it into his
head that it was unsportsmanlike to
shoota bear, and that it should be taken
with lariat, SO he practiced with rope
at steers, dogs, stumps, and men until
he was fair hand at it, and finally one
day they went off on regular bear
hunt.
at SO happened that the boys knew
where there was large patch of wild
grapes that black bears are fond of, and
they made for it, fairly sure to find one
or more, and sure enough they did.
Coming down little side canon they
came out into level spot, with patch
of trees covered with vines in the CEN
ter. Some of the dogs were put in, and
IN few minutes out come an old brown
bear, snarling and showing her teeth in
terrible fashion. 'Now's your chance,
yelled the boys, and they all stood back
to give my new friend chance. tell
you he was no SLOUGH; he put his horse
up as near the critter as he would 60,
and, riding round, dropped his rope
over the bears shoulders the minute
she reared up. When she felt the rope
she grabbed at it, but the pony settled
back; then down she went, and began
just what the boys expected, the roll
ing business. Over and over she went,
winding the rope about her, getting
snarled up, but coming nearer and
nearer the pony all the time. The
pony was the first one to tumble to it
as the boys saw, and began to snort an(
buck; but it was no use. the old bea
kept coming, getting more and more en-
tangled every moment, and finally the
pony turned tail and began to drag her,
she yelling and whimpering and
scratching gravel, the horse crazed and
in this shape they came to the side Of
the hill. Over the horse went bucking,
the Englishman cursing things until
they were blue. When half way down
the rope broke, and, fearing the bear
would get away, some of the boys, who
we're laughing themselves sick, put her
out of her misery. The boys got rather
left trying to fool the fellow as he
showed SO much pluck trying to stop
the bear that they never tried any
games on him again. After awhile they
asked him what he proposed to do with
the bear after he got the rope around
him-and then he saw the joke, and
rather thought the bear was catching
him.

Coburn,s Report,

The Ninth Biennial report of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture is out.
The biennial period to which it re-
lates has been, for Kansas one of less
than usual prosperity. This has been
due not only to the two unfavorable
crop seasons that in succession have
been common to so many portions OF
the nnion. but also to the general depres-
sion existent in business throughout the
world. Yet, in spite of so many extra
ordinarily adverse conditions, Kansas, as
a whole, has not failed in the produc-
ton OF tremendous quantities of the great
staples, which conduce to comfort and
prosperity at home and demand gold in
the markets of the world. This is shown
in detail by counties, giving the vari-
Gus products and their values.
A state evolved within third of a CEN
fury from wilderness, that in the two
most unpropitious years of her history, as
to both agricultural and financial condi-
tions, produce from her soil the neces-
saries and luxurles of life to the extent
of $236,000,000, in the period covered by
this report, the years CT 1898 snd 1894,
both with lighter crops than the average,
has small occasion to feel Inundated,
but on the other hand has demonstrated,
once and for all, the tremendous resources
of her soil and people.
The conditions which have prevailed.
whatever their effects elsewhere, are to
result in a revised agriculture and a
new prosperity. Some of the ways and
means toward these are suggested in
the talismanic words, Irrigation" Sub
soiling," Alfalfa" and Sorghum"
All of these subjects are fully repre-
sented in the report.
