1t was admitted that they had bed
some wine during the day, but whether
they were under it's influence at the time
of the trouble we are not cerrain, yet one
thing we are certain of and that ia that we
consider the vendors OF wine, especially
without q license, culpable before the
law, for the Ordinance reads: "Sec. 1z1.
No person shall manufacture, sell, bar
ter, deal out or otherwise dispose of any
spiJituous, viuous, malt or other intoxi
cating liquors, without first obtaining
from the City Council of this city, o Ii
cense as hereinafter provided" (See

Although we are I'm favor of everybody
complying with the law, yet we are con-
fldent that it would be much better tor
the community If the sale Of wines and
liquors were entirely prohibited, except
10 cases where it is required for medic
inal purposes, under extreme penalties.

AT the time brother Winterton
said the sun should shine on him
when he was baptized, elder Welsh
gave notice that he would preach
the next Sunday at one o'clock at
the place named by the old man
for baptism. Accordingly the fol-
lowing Sunday he was there and
the people turned out enmass,
some on mischief bent, some for
curiosity and a few to hear the
Gospel and to see the ordinance of
baptism performed. It was one of
Englands dark days, very heavy
clouds covered the sky so it was
impossible for the sun to shine
through them. After the preach
ing was done and the time came
for baptism, the Elder stepped in
to the water and the old man stood
on the bank ready to 60 into the
water. Then an old woman on
mischief bent yelled out at the
top of her voice 'gThe old liar said
the sun should shine on him when
he was baptized, but it won't"

down into the water and baptized
him, and as soon as the old man
was on the bank again before the
elder got out Of the water, the
clouds closed over the sun and it
did not shine any more that day

Maceo was in the very heart of Havana
city last Monday, and more than that had
his picture taken, and handed a copy of
the same to Ryan SO that he might show
1t to the president and to General Lee.
Maceo went to Havana and then friend

Sallie said that It was not far, and that
she could walk. As she went out at the
yard gate swinging her hat over her head
she met one of her brothers, who asked her
to carry pitchfork over to the next ranch.
Sallie said that 1t was not very nice for a
girl to be carrying pitchfork
, "But I'll take it," she laughingly re-
piled, for might meet bear"
She little dreamed that there was any,
thing prophetic in her words, for no one
had seen a bear in that vicinity for three
or four years, though there are plenty of
them in the mountains few miles away.
Nearly every day now Sallie has to tell
some one who wants to hear the story from
her own lips how she was walking leisurely
along the narrow trail when big black
bear stepped out of the bushes right in
front of her His nose, she said, was al
most touching her dress. Her first impulse
was to run and scream for help, but it
flashed over her mind that that would sim
ply be extending an invitation to bruin to
spring after her, and she knew that he
would catch her and tear her to pieces be-
fore she had made a half dozen steps.
Fortunately she was carrying the epitchfork
by her side, with the tines in front of her.
A glance showed her that the sharp prongs
OF the fork were only n few inches from
the bears ribs. Quicker than words could
express anything it occurred to her that if
she could drive the three little fangs of
steel into the bears cart, if it did not kill
him on the spot, it ould so much disable
him that she would have a chance to es-
cape. 1t was her only hope and suitinR
the action to the thought just as bruin be-
gan to growl the brave girl summoned all
her strength, and aiming at the monsters
heart she drove the three prongs of the fork
into hip just behind the fore shoulder up
to the handle.
And then, she says, "I turned and ran
home as hard as ever could" Her aim
had been true, for one of the sharp tines of
the fork had passed through the bears
heart When old Uncle Dan and his cow
boys reached the place, they found that the
bear had received a death wound. He had
broken the handle of the fork and struggled
about little, but he had died almost in
his tracks.
The bear weighed 400 pounds and as he
was very fat Miss Sallie Mahone's friends
ate 6arbecued bear meat while celebrating
her birthday.
