EPHRAIM AND THE BEAR.
Mow He Killed a Yearling In Fair
Fight without Weapons.

Fight without Weapons.
Old Ephraim Hatfield, father of Anse
and Elias Hatfield, of Mccoy Hatfield
feud notoriety, was born fighter. He
was also mighty hunter, and had one
ambition. 1t was to kill a yearling bear
in fair fight without any weapons
other than those nature provided him
with. Every day that he felt especially
strong he would go out with his dogs
and his boys, and, freeing bear, would
get him down and fight him. When
bruin would begin to get the best Of the
encounter, he would call his boys to let
loose the dogs. Year after year passed
and Ephraim had not yet whipped a
bear.
One day fine yearling bear was
freed, and as Cuffy was climbing to a
place Of safety old man Hatfield cut off
a piece Of the animals tail with quick
blow of his knife, and the bear came
down. Ephraim threw his gun and
knives to the boys and cried out:
"He's likely varmint. Stan aside,
boys, an watch yo' dad. I'm comm,
bar!'' And he clutched the bear by the
throat.
The animal got its paws around
Ephraim, and they fought, rolling in
every direction, until it was almost i'm
possible to distinguish man from beast
in the cloud. The boys held the dogs
and encouraged the old man by shout
ing to him:
$50 it, papl You've got 'eml Give
il to i'm, dadl'
Down the hill the two rolled until
they could roll no farther
"Let loose the dogs p shouted the old
man. "Let 'em loose! The critters got
me!''
But the boys thought the old man
would never have a better opportunity
to realize his ambition and whips year
ling bear and kept the dogs away.
Finally Ephraim, seeing that he was not
to have assistance, began to use his feet
and hands with an energy born of de-
spair, and in half an hour he succeeded
in choking the animal to death, but not
until his clothes were torn to shreds and
his face and body were covered with
gaping wounds, from which the blood
flowed SO freely that it left a crimson
trail wherever the man went Dragging
the carcass out Of the pit Ephraim start
ed after the boys, and it would have
Jared roughly with them, but they fled.
The old man reached his home and was
almost dead from loss of blood, but his
ambition had been realized-he had
whipped yearling bear in fair fight.
The boys hid out in the woods for sew
eral days, and would not return until
their father, whose joy at his success
had got the better of his pain and an.
ger, sent them word that he would not
whip them if they returned. Hatfield
never wearied telling how he whipped
ayearling bear, and his sons are equally
proud Of their fathers achievement

Cost of City Goycrnment.

The estimated cost OF running the
city of.Nsw York for this yea- is but lit
tie short OF 100000. The World 70.
marks that this is "two.thirds the cost
OF the national government before the
war and far exceeds the expense Of any
state government in the Union"
It is not strange that whore there was
SO much money to BIO handled shrewd
men without conscience wero ready to
Shandle it to their own profit. Using
the Tammany organization as basis OF
operation and the name OF the Democ.
racy as a rallying cry they had entrench-
ed themselves in absolute control. 60
that the people OF that great city had ITO
more TO say in the levying and disburs.
ipg ot,tax moneys than they had in the
government OF Turkey.
Tho lingering OF tho public fund.- was
nosthe only resource OF the men who
ruled the city. Tho blacknail they
levied on vice and on business men who
were permitted to violate certain city
ordinances is estimated at not less than
Sl5.000,000 year. Every dollar Of this
was ajax that did not appear in tho
budget OF the board ofestmato aud ap-
portionmont. The ,blackmsilers did
their own estimating and apportioning
,nd pocke.ed the plumber.
The great city has taken the first
steps to emancipate itself from this
rule. 1t has made only good begin
ming. What it has done against great
obstacles ia an encouragement to every
city. the small as well az the great, to
assert the right Of the people to rule
and to be served by homes: men.
All that has happened in New York
within the past year makes clearer than
ever that the weakest point in our
whole system OF government is in the
4 management of our cities. To remedy
this defect must be tho next great con-
Germ Of public spirited men.
