sI.oo A YEAR.
A Bunch Of Bears.

al believe l got as big bag OF
bears in as short time as any man
ever did" said Doc Stadley. the ex-
Sheriff and bear hunter Of Mendocino.
"a bag of bears2" exclaimed the
young man who had just been telling
about bag of snipe he had once killed.
What were they-little fellows; what
is it you call them--kittens; no, cubs
that's it ?"
No, sir; they were not kittens or
cubs. They were bears" declared
Doc. Il piled up about ton of bear
meat in about thirty seconds. | was
out hunting in the southern part Of
Trinity county about seventeen or eigh-
teen years ago. We had killed about
forty deer and three panthers and
bear or two in a couple of weeks. and
were pretty near ready to break camp,
when thought would so out and
kill another deer 10 take home fresh.
Ii was late in the afternoon, and was
creeping along in the brush, when
suddenly came out into little open
ing, | stopped to see if there was any
sign Of deer, and while ! stood looking
about big black bear climbed up on
the trunk of big fir tree that had been
uprooted. He wasn't thirty yards
away, and | plugged him in the ear.
He rolled off the log and down the hill
toward me, but before had time 10
see if he was dead another bear climbed
up on that same log to see what the
row was about. / shot it in the heaG,
and it rolled down the same way the
other had done. Up climbed a big
two-year.old to take its place, and al
ter had shot it two big yearlings, one
after the other, clambered up on the
log to be shot.
Every one rolled down the hill to-
wards me, and were kicking and
thrashing around not ten steps away.
By that time came to the conclusion
that ! was in bear country, and !
didn't lose any time climbing a sap
pling. When got well braced up
among the limbs sat and pumped
lead into that pile Of bears; every time
one kicked gave him a bullet, till
they all stopped kicking. | had FIVE
bears in one pile, aud think they
must have weighed over ton altogeth-
er.

He was an ex-member Of the Uni
ted States army, and was naturally
proud Of it. His experiences during
the civil war were many and formed
the staple Of his conversation not only
when he had guests, but in the bosom
Of his family. As time went on, his
adventures grew in Importance and
magnitude and there came 70 bea pro-
nounced belief among his friends that
his imaginative powers were becoming
by no means impaired by advancing
years. Most sppreciative Of all bis
listeners was his youngest son. who
night after night delighted toclambsr
upon his fathers knee, with the never.
varying request Of Papa, tell US
some more about what you did in the
war" And he was always ready to
tell the boy something more; and a. the
narratives grew in number and the pa
rental feats increased in valor, the
boy grew wids-eyed and proud TO
think Of the warrior-like qualities OF
his father. until one night. when the
story was told, the child innocently
said. But, daddy dear. couldn't
you get somebody to help you put down
that rebellion :"

FALL.

When the fields are lone, deserted,
1t is Fall;
When the plowmen are departed,
1t Is Fall;
When you hear the Lonesome lowing
OF the cattle homeward going.
When the west is faintly glowing,
1t is Fall.
When you feel dreamy sadness,
1t is Fall;
Or melancholy gladness,
1t is FALL
When you feel mid dying clover
Like broken hearted lover,
Almost wish that life were over,
1t is Fall.
When the past comes like torrent
Ii is Fall;
When the future seems abhorrent,
II is Fall;
When there's naught but memory left us
And our fondest hopes bereft us.
And, respondent, naught can lit us,
II is Fall.
-RObt. Johnston dustin.

Whether Robert Langdon had an
appointment at home or not, does not
matter much. Sufficient is it to say
that he did go directly home, where
he found his wife on the lounge, just
where she had thrown herself as he
left to go to the club. A sob greeted
him as he approached her.
"Genevieve, can you forgive me? T?
1t was ali my fault and if yOu'll for
give me, I'll never do it again.
She turned her tear-stained face to
him and he bent over and kissed her,
wondering how it ever entered him to
be 50 cruel.
"No it was not your fault; it was
mine. actually drove you TO that
horrid club, when l know you don't
care to go there. -
well, we will not fight about that
Just now. Do you remember Major
Hunt, at the fort? l Iheard him tell a
story at the club, tonight story OF
how a young girl at western fort, a
few years ago, rode out in the snow to
rescue a man who had got lost from
his troop and how she brought him IN
safe and sound. Shall tell it to your
I remember it, word for word. "
"No, you need not and if you are
not going to stop your everlasting talk
about that, lam just going to get mad
again now
He stopped.

Gladness Comes

NxIith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante fforts-
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo of Figs. prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsO of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs ON which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need Of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
