Prof. Cummings, of the state geo.

or two ago to a Sandwich man;
Immense stores of wealth lie
concealed beneath the soil of Texas
only waiting to be developed and
utilized. There are 10000 men em-
ployed in Russian copper mines far
less valuable than some of the mines
of Texas. Silver ore in good paying
quantities exists in several Localities
in the state, and iron ore is unsur-
passed. We have sand and every
other ingredient necessary to maks
good glass and all that is needed is
for some one to go ahead and make
it. The asphalt beds of the state
are very fine, being almost exactly

A business firm once employed
young man whose energy and grasp OF
affairs soon led the management to
promote him over faithful and trusted
employe, says a writer in the Popular
Science monthly The old clerk felt
deeply hurt that the younger man
should be promoted over him, and COM
planned to the manager.
Feeling that this was n case that
could not be argued. the manager ask
ed the old clerk what was the occasion
Of all the noise in front Of their build
ing.
The clerk went forward. and return
ed with the answer that it was 4 lot
Of wagons going by.
The manager then asked what they
were loaded with. and again the clerk
went out and returned, reporting that
they were loaded with wheat.
The manager then sent him TO asceT-
tain how many wagons there were, and
he returned with the answer that there
were sixteen. Finally he was sent TO
see where they were from, and he re-
turned saying they were from the city
of Lucena
The manager then asked the old
clerk 10 be seated. and sent for the
young man. and said to him:
"Will you see what is the meaning of
that rumbling noise in frontT'
The young man replied: Sixteen
wagons loaded with wheat Twenty
more will pass tomorrow. They be-
long to Romero & Co, Of Lucena, and
are on their way TO Marchesa.. where
wheat is bringing one dollar and a
quarter a bushel for hauling"
The young man was dismissed. and
the manager, turning to the old clerk,
said:
My friend. you see now why the
younger man was promoted over YOU"

Tappan Adney in the St. Nicholas,
tells the story OF the bear cub, captur-
ed by a backwoodsman named Ben
Lawson, and saved as a pet for his
children.
Ben's little girl, about eight years old
took a fancy TO the young orphan, and
called him Billy" Billy looked like
big Newfoundland pup, black and shay
gy, but with tail conspicuous by being
hardly a tail at ALL" as Ben said. He
was as playful as a young dog or kit
ten, and used TO romp on the floor with
the children, hugging and pretending to
bite them.
But the good woman of the house
viewed the little fellow with suspicion.
and was not easily persuaded that all
bears were not equally dangerous. IL
was plain from the first that even a
baby cub was hardly welcome. So Bill
ly was provided with a small leather
collar that could let out as he grew,
and a small chain, which, however, was
never used. He was fed at first on
milk, and afterward on bread and buck
wheat pancakes Indeed, he was con-
fined to a strictly vegetable diet be-
cause they thought his savage nature
might be developed by eating meat.
Billy throve and soon needed a big
ger collar. Ii was never thought neces-
sary to keep him chained up, because
he was gentle. He had, therefore, the
run OF not only their own farmyard,
but those of their neighbors as well.
He was bent upon every sort Of mis-
chief: but it was not until long after
wards that he began the series Of depre-
datiOns that led 70 his untimely end.
Summer came and passed In the aut-
umn when Ben dug his potatoes. Billy
followed behind. watching what was
going on, and, il is said, as the child
rem picked the potatoes up, Billy him
self learned 10 look for them and paw
them out Of the soil BE this as 1t may,
every bear uses his paw with great cley-
erness-and Billy was a clever bear
When the days grew colder. at the
approach Of winter. he commenced TO
dig a hole under the side Of the barn.
and soon had a great cavity under the
floor OF the constable Into this den
he began to carry all sorts OF stuff and
Ben thought Billy was getting ready
for winter In his natural way.
One day when bread was being bak-
Cd Billy hung about the kitchen with
make-believe indifferent air. After
the bread was carefully laid away IN
der white cloth upon the pantry shelf
Billy waited until his mostrcss's back
was turned. In an instant the cub
made for the pantry. There was n
shuttle and rattle OF claws. followed
by a scream. The bear. quick,The
bears got the bread cried the wife in
distress, as she turned in time 10 see
the rascal running out of the door with
several fine loaves In his arms.
Ben. as il happened, was close by,
and heard the hubbub. He sprang to
the door Of the house just in time TO
intercept Master Billy. Billy reared
on his hind legs. and. as Ben caught
him by the back OF the neck. he grOwled
savagely and struck back at Ben with
one free paw. but never quitting his
hold of the bread
Finally, after getting a good shaking
and cutting about the ears. Billy broke
away. carrying Off the middle loaf Of
the three He disappeared into his
den. where he ate ii at leisure.
