THE BEAR AND THE eRoNCHO.

Tom Buckley Lassoed Bruin and Then
Bolted From tho Fight. =
Tom Buckley was working on tho
spring roundup in the employ OF ono
Of the large cattle outfits in southern
Montana. While riding through clump
Of bushes one day hunting cattle full
grown silver tip bear suddenly arose
and confronted him. The only weapon
at hand, was his lariat, and with vi.
sions Of juicy bear steak for the boys at
supper around the mess wagon that
night and a fine rug for the pretty
schoolmarm he quickly loosened his
rope and threw it. A few turns over the
saddle horn, at the same time squirting
his horse, and the shock came. It was
very severe, for unluckily the bears
fore leg as we'll 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 linger il the vicinity to ascertain
the extent Of his injuries. BE started
for the top of butte close at hand, and
although an Indifferent sprinter he man,
aged to make very fair time. q
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 as he expressed it. "They quit the
country, hitting only the high spots. !"

ABOUT TOBACCO.

Cynical Sentiments ~ to Its Uses ono
Abuses and Its Enemies.
Public sentiment is not unanimous in
regard to the healthfulness of using to-
bacco. Everybody who saw the body Of
a negro upon whom hogshead Of to-
bacco fell from the third story Of 9 New
Orleans warehouse conceded that to-
bacco taken in large quantities is in
furious. ~
Tobacco is said by some to have . de-
moralizing effect. An Indiana man
taught his dog, very fine setter, to
chew tobacco. Now the dog comes into
the house by the back door, naver scrapes
his feet on the mat, never goes to church,
is careless at his meals, gets burs In his
tail, goes with lower grade Of dogs
and is beginning to take an interest in
politics.
A goat, it is we'll known; is fond OF
tobacco, but he freely gives away bis
butts. ~
All kinds of troubles and complioa-
lions are ascribed to tobacco. 1t is said
to cause tobacco blindness. Still we
have never found any friends Of ours to
be afflicted with it when we have in
cautiously left choice cigar exposed in
our vest pocket.
Ladies generally object to smoking,
but it takes an old smoker to get up on
his ear and howl four bladed adjectives
at the ruffian who is idiotic enough to
smoke bad tobacco. If a woman's hus'
band smokes, she should not put him
out, but let him down as easy as she
would smoking lamp.
The smoker, on the other hand, haa
many compensations. If he should be
shipwrecked on cannibal island, he II
comforted by the thought that his body
will be respected. The cannibals don't
relish the flesh Of q man who ohews OF
smokes.
The man who smokes is not molested
by mosquitoes. They can't stand smok'

riddle was written by costermonger.
The riddle in question is q charade and
runs as follows:
My first's little biru as ops,

Ny ole is good with mutton chops.
The answer of course is sparrow

A little bit of wholesome indignation

Patriots Day, as the anniversary of the
battle of Lexington Is so fittinSly desig-
mated. is today being celebrated in many
portions of the country with appropriate
exercises. Particularly Is this so in the
public schools, where the occasion Is being
used to impress upon the minds of the
young the sublime character of the prin-
cipies for which the revolutionists of '76
suffered and died with cheerfuIness. There
is poverty of holidays in the United States
we have sacrificed too much In the ma
tional anxiety for wealth-so It would be
entirely proper If there should be great
access Of enthusiasm as to the few COM
memorative days which we have. including
Patriots Day. and a growing reverence
for the blessings Of liberty which came to
as the consequence of the valor of our
ancestors. Patriots Day should be an &C.
cason of general jubilation. 1t Is to be
hoped that as time goes on it's deep signifi-
canoe will become more and more con-
spicuous. To forget the men of Lexington
and Concord would be inexcusable in
gratitude.

A remarkable exhibition of partisan folly
Is being given just now by the machine
politicians of the republican party in New
York. Because Tammany happened to he
democratic organization which was re-
sponsible for very much of the evil from
which municipal New York was suffering
and long had suffered, there came to the
republican party last November a notable
victory in New York city and success al
most as conspicuous in the state. The
circumstances under which the radical
changes occurred were rich in promises of
long lease of power for the party that.
not through its own virtues but because
of anothers vices. achieved remarkable
supremacy. Weary of years of ring-rule
OF the most corrupting sort and sick of
dominating influences whose motive force
was personal selfishness the people of the
Empire State overturned Tanmany and
the democratic machine. New York city
elected a mayor who was pledged to real
reform; republican, but not a politician.
That mayor, in order that he might carry
out plans which met with popular approval
throughout the campaign. found 1t neces-
sary to appoint men of high character who
differed from him in their political beliefs;
men whose probity was undoubted and
whose executive ability has never been
assailed. Instantly there came expressions
of discomfort from some of the hungry
republicans, who fatuously imagined that
the victory was mere republican
triumph; they abused Mayor Strong and
would, had such q thing been possible.

President Roberts of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company. in his last annual re-
port, directed the attention Of those finan-
cially interested in the company to the con-
siderable sums of money spent by the
corporation recently in elevating the COM
pany's tracks at Elizabeth, N. j., and in
Philadelphia, both of those cities having
determined to abolish all grade-crossings
Following these statements, which could
not but be pleasing to the general public,
President Roberts advises suspension Of
the work of elevating or depressing steam
railroad tracks until an understanding is
reached as to how there shall be prevention
of the increase of crossings at grade by
electric railways. The Star has several
times called attention to the manner in
which the trolley companies are possessing
themselves Of privileges that ere long the
public will have to fight for in self-defense
There Is. therefore. something of reason in
the suggestion Of President Roberts that
there should be no more granting Of char
ters to electric companies that propose to
multiply the grade crossing crime. But
after all there Is a good deal of difference
between a steam railroad and q trolley
line; alongside one Of the Pennsylvania
company's trains trolley car is pigmy
The electric car even when running at its
highest rate of speed may be stopped with
in a distance of thirty feet at most, while
a heavy passenger train running from 60
to 20 miles an hour cannot be halted much
short of a quarter of mile. That legisla-
lures and councils are much too liberal
with electric road charters Is evident to
even a careless observer, but that fact
should not deter the Pennsylvania company
from continuing in other cities, and notably
well at Elizabeth and in Philadelphia The
offending of the trolley lines should not in
fluence the Pennsylvania company to con-
tinue its own wrong-doing

have read him out Of the party. These
men-unquestionably powerful in the re-
publican organization of the state-are per-
suading the voters Of all New York that
partisan control Of municipal government
Is fundamental republican doctrine. and
as consequence the republican party in
the Empire State is rapidly losing prestige.
Chauncey Depew has declared that the
republicans who are most in evidence at
Albany-Platt and his foIlowers-were
throwing away an opportunity for suprem-
acy in the state for the next quarter of a
century by their opposition to legislation
which Is necessary to the authorization
or reformatory movements promised the
people by the very men who now oppose
progress toward betterment. Dr. Park
hurst-reformer first, republican after
ward-says that Eat no time In the past
two years has the outlook been so dark.
do not know what to say about 1t. All
that / can say is that we shall continue
popular agitation In the firm belief that
at some time or other it will be sufficient"
From the day after election down to the
present time the machine republicans have
lost no opportunity to betray the reputable
democrats whom they were glad enough
to have as allies during the first week Of
this continuing breach of faith may be
the flocking of reasonably disconnected
democrats to the standard of reorganized
Tammany; If such a movement be any
thing like unanimous then we may look
for democratic success in New York city
next fall and that, as a keen observer has
said, will be the fine triumph of republic
can tactics and strategy in Albany. and
1t will go far to convince republicans else
where, who have always doubted the sim
certify and earnsstness Of certain republi-
can elements in the state. that their doubts
were perfectly justified"
Weakness, too, IS apparent In the treat
ment which unthinking, yet alleged-to-be-
shrewd. republicans are giving to the
proposition which will some day result in
that enormous municipal consolidation now
spoken of as 1.-The greater New York" For
the smallest of political reasons and to
bring about temporary advancement of
selfish individuals. the republicans in con-
troll at Albany have elected to delay
consolidation which was demanded by
majority of nearly fifty thousand people.
There Is manifest democratic advantage in
this and it Is well that such Is the fact.
for when any party repudfates decency, is
careless Of its pledges to the people and
uses dishonesty the powers given it by
popular vote, 1t deserves only to fall. In
its place there will surely come something
better
