lshing. He was one night looking out
whether any bear had come into his ''trom
ba' field. He saw that bear was there,
and that he with his paws alternately took
apawful of "tromba," blew the chaff away
and ate hastily. The man was blind of one
eye and ran to his hut to get his gun He
came out and pointed it at the bear. The
animal, who saw this, ran roull the blind
side of the mans face, snatched the gun
out OF his hand and threw it away.
The bear and the man then wrestled for
time, but afterward both gave up the
struggle and retired the man, after he
had recovered himself, went to look for the
gun, the stock of which he found broken.
The matchstring by which the stock had
been tied to the barrel had gone on burning
all night and had been the cause of the gun
being destroyed. The son of that man still
lives at the village and tells this story.

lighted fresh cigar and pared his nails
with his pocketknife.
Of course two or three of the group
wanted to know all about it, and he
continued:
Zone of you let me have clean 81
bill for a moment. All, that's a daisy
of bill-just off the press last week.
Now, then, lay the bill face down
ward ON the floor-thus. The chap who
did the trick was not II professional jug
gler, but he did it with neatness and
dispatch. don't say can do it myself,
but I'll try"
But what is the trick?"
why, take my knife and cut the
bill lengthwise-so. Then cut it cross
wise-so. That divides the bill into four
equal portions, doesn't it?''
Every one in the group answered that
it did. and the drummer gazed at the
pieces awhile and said
1.-THE trick is to blow the pieces to-
gether so that the edges will unite. The
Chicago man did it, but Just how
couldn't find out. Let's see. l will now
blow. All, they do not unite. l will
blow AGAIN.
what in the Old Harry are you try
ing to do?" demanded the owner of the
bill.
why, I'm trying to blow the pieces
together, " innocently replied the drum
mer.
But you can't do it,
"No, see can't. The Chicago man
did it, but I'm not ON to the trick. Here
are the four pieces, and guess you II
have to get bottle of mucilage and o
sheet of paper and paste them together.
Awfully cute trick, but can't do it.
Wish could, but l can't"
And, strangely enough, the owner of
the bill looked at the pieces. and from
the pieces to the drummer and back,
