The following lines contain every word
in the 117th Pslam. Read and
compare.
Let all the people praise the Lord,
And learn each promise in His word;
Study and learn the precious truth
Taught to the aged and the youth.
His deeds of kindness always flow
Toward His people here below;
He's merciful and kind and true,
This mercy He bestows on you.
o, praise Him for His matchless love,
And truths. that tower far above
The groveling thoughts of sinful man.
And points US to that better land.
His truth so great, and yet so plain,
VIII never, never. wax and wane;"
His love endureth much for thee,
And ever shines for you and me-
For His great love and truth give thanks
Ye people all Of every rank;
We nations all, from shore to shore,
On Bonded knees the Lord adore.

Was it surprising that the firm of Hill

difficulties which at length engulfed it?
This account of the real cause of a
failure which caused much sensation is
strictly true in every respect. The facts
are vouched for by New York merchants
of integrity, and it is absolutely true that

they had expected, and the TACT that they
were entirely at it's mercy in the thick
underbrush, caused them to experience
a sudden change of heart. They were
only anxious to get away from the vicin-
ity of their quarry as soon as possible,
evidently concluding that as they hadn'
lost any bear, they were not looking Tor
any.
But bruin had no intention of parting
with his unlimited guests so speedily NO
sooner did they commence their retreat
than the animal sprang after them with
gigantic bounds, sweeping aside the SIN
cedar branches like straw in his progress.
Henry Granou had been the foremost
of the hunters when they enterd the
thicket and was now necessarily in the
rear of the retreating column. He quickly
realized the utter folly of attempting
to escape from the bear in the vast tan
gle of underbrush, and springing behind
a bush he opened fire with his six-shooter.
The heavy 45-cahber bullet struck the
animal square in the side, but the lead
only buried itself in the thick folds OF
flesh without any perceptible effect upon
the big brute.
Denton had also turned and attempted
to bring his rifle to his shoulder, but
the weapon was instantly dashed from
his hands and he was crushed to the
ground. breaking off young cedar az
large as a mans limb that stood behind
him. as he fell Before he could move
the bear was upon him, the long claws
Of his paw penetrating his left hand ana
pinning it to the earth. The claws OF
one hind foot were buried in Denton S
ieg and with wide open mouth that showed
his shining white tusks, the animal was
about to seize the young hunter by the
throat. But Denton. who had now fully
recovered his presence of mind, struck
him a desperate blow on the side Of tho
head with his free right hand.
The bear turned It's head and gave vent
to a savage growl-that growl saved Dem
toms life. Henry Granou. who had been
firing shot after shot into the bear i,.
short range with his six-shooter, but ne
might as well have fired them into a SAND
bag so far as practical results were con-
cerned. The sting of the bullets seemed
only to make the bear more angry. At
the first crack of the pistol Jack Granou
had halted and turned about AS he did
so he saw Denton hurled 70 the ground
by thu infuriated animal Without lesi-
Eating a moment he rushed back and
thrustlng the muzzle Of the gun almost
against the bears forehead, pulled both
triggers.
There was q loud report that echoed and

CLUTCHES OF A GRIZZLY.
The Thrilling Experience of "A Hum
ter in the Bad Lands.
From the Philadelnhia Mines


Chamberlain, S. D.-Although the eriz-
Ely bear has become scarce in many of
his former haunts, there are still a few
Isolated specimens in the almost impreg-
nable Businesses of the South Dakota bad
lands. These bad lands, which form a
sort of natural preserve for wild animals
extend on both sides of the White river
for nearly one hundred miles. and its
western border is bounded by the south
fork of the Cheyenne river 1t is
strange, weird country, a wild chaos of
walls, buttes and spurs, intermingled
with basins and canyons. The basins are
themselves 1ntersected by a labyrinth of
deep, narrow gulches and winding creeks
most of which are dry during the greater
portion of the year, but are converted
by brief thunder shower into roaring
torrents of milk white water. The water
is given this peculiar color from the fact
that for a considerable distance the river
flows between soft, white bluffs which are
rapidly washed during high water by tn,
7wl1t-howing current. 1t is from these
uurbid floods that occasionally pour from
the bad land creeks that White river dc
rives its name.

gold at ratio slightly in excess of 1615
ounces OF silver to ounce of gold, and while
her minis are freely open to both metals at
that ratio, not single dollar in gold bullion
Is coined and circulated as money.
Gold has been driven out of circulation in

1t is the plain duty of the United States to
maintain the gold standard. 1t is the recog-

DUMAS, FATHER AND SON.
The Latter Was Made Legitimate when
His Mother Was DYING.


Dumas does not seem at any time to
have thought seriously of matrimony.
Perhaps, had the Rouennaise seamstress
been free to marry him, his relations
with her would have been legalized, and
the current of his life would have run
IN less zigZag channel. She was per
son of rare constancy of purpose end
dignity of character, living always by
her work, and carefully watching over
her son. When she and Dumas quar-
relied, the filiation of the younger Alex.
ander was recognized" by the elder, a
legal formality which gave him pa
ternal rights and enabled the father ia
take him from his mother and place
him as boarder in the College Chaptal.
But as the fathers anger was evanes-
cent, his heart soft and righteous, the
maternal claims were not long denied.
The woman urging them sought and
obtained, to be near her child, the d.
rection of the linen and the shirt-mend-
ing department in the college, and not
only lived on her salary, but made pro-
vision to help her son forward when he
grew up, and for her own old age.
The son cherished her in her life and
revered her memory. AS he married e
Russian lady of high rank, his mothe.
would not live with him when he was
rich and renowned until she felt she
was dying. This was in 1868. The
prodigal father, who hardly deserved
the name of Dumas pere, was then
broken in health and falling into the
state of permanent somnolency which
took hold Of him before his death. His
daughter, Nine. Petel, with impulsive
generosity, asked him to make her half
brother legitimate by marrying his
mother in extremis, and this he did
