Let the Bear Eat Him.

Speaking Of hair-raising adven-

Order of Ananias the other day, as he
lighted a match at the tip of his nose,
reminds me of little picnic excursion
I had about five years ago up in the
Rockies. There was a party Of us out
there from Chicago hunting and fishing.
We were camped on trout stream
away up in the Ute Pass, and, as
would rather fish than lug a gun about
all day. made daily trips to the stream.
One day I went much farther than ever
before and finally came to a pool that
lay between two high rocks. To reach It
had to climb up the mountain side and
out on a shelf of rock that overhung
the pool twenty feet below. 1 dropped
my fly and as fast as 1t struck the water
I had spreckled beauty on the end of
my line. But all at once / heard a
scratching on the rock behind me and
on looking around I saw big she griz-

wide open. There was, without gun.

BILLY PARKS MUSTY ALE.

And the Mistake That Two Young Ladies
from Maine Made About 1t.
Billy Park introduced the public to
musty ale and broiled live lobster, says
the Boston Courier. The musty ale be-
came famous, and 1t became necessary
for dealers in beer to keep something
for their customers bearing that name.
But somehow no other kind tasted SO
good as that sold by Billy Park. The
fame Of the musty ale penetrated to the
wilds Of Maine, the SUBMITS of the
Green mountains of Vermont and the
granite hills of New Hampshire. Anent
It's fame in this respect 1 heard good
story the other day. Two young ladies
from Maine, where, by the way, there
Is no beer sold, were visiting Boston,
and having at home heard of the musty
ale, resolved to try 1t in a restaurant
where they were dining. This being All
afterthought, they were obliged to re-
call the waiter. When he came they had
forgotten the auJcVo.e .nat u.y,, ipcp
and gives the ale its fame. They looked
at each other and at the waiter in en-
barrassment. At length one Of them
smiled.
II have got it," she said to her COM
panion.
Then turning to the waiter she gave
him, with all the dignity and politeness
appropriate to the occasion, the order:
"Please bring us two glasses Of
smoky ale"

Cancer
OF the Breast.

Mr.. A. H. Crausby is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
zens of Memphis, and resides at 158
Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed a
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing of it, but it increased in size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but they very
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had died with cancer, and when APP
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurable. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep
seated and her health very low, one of
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the

Boys, do you know why you say,
You're 1t! when playing tag? OF course
not; the professor didn't either when we
asked him the other day, but he prom
ised to put his entire mind upon so i'm

once.
This Is what he says, though with
some Of his big words left out:
"The people who live over in England

1t from the words where 1t belongs and
putting it where 1t does not belong.
What fun there is in it, or why they do
1t, no one can tell; but they have been
In the habit Of 1t for good many hun
dred years.
For this reason, when the little Eng
lish boys who were great, great grand
fathers years and years ago were hav-
ing grand times in their games, they
too, kept dropping their his from the
words they were shouting.

And all the generations Of little boys
who have since then been playing the

America to always put their his in every
other word where they belonged.
NOW, boys, let me whisper a word Of

You know the old man was dying. and
we had taken him in and cared for him,
and can't believe that he would hatch
up a lie under such circumstances Just
to get us to make a chase like this"
"It don't look like he would, shore
enough" Jonas admitted, scratching
his head perplexedly. But what
puzzles me is this, Bob. If thar's any
gold here like that old Injun told bout,
whar is it? That's the question I'd like
to have answered, If you please.

Bob said, with a shake of his head.
"Still, think Old Washita was honest,

'It certainly looks like it."
There followed a long silence, during
which Jonas and Bob appeared very
thoughtful. The failure to find the
great amount of gold Old Washita had
