TIE Most Wonderful Escape Of . Hunter
Who Was Up a Tree.
They We're spinning yarns of the
chase, and this was the contribution of
the congressman: after a pretty hard
campaign went, with Il hunting party,
to the upper peninsula. I'm not u
Leather Stocking or a Daniel Boone
with Il rifle, but I'm far from having to
60 inside and close the doors in order to
hit IL barn. I'd brought down a deer
and bagged any amount of small game,
but wanted a bear. One morning 1 had
tram ped an unusual distance from camp
and suddenly came upon three half
grown cubs rolling and tumbling over
each other in play. l shot one, and the
other two beat Il clumsy retreat. Set
ting my gun against Il tree, 1 reached
my cub while he was still kicking.
Hearing a noise, l whirled around
to find the mother coming at me, her
mouth wide open and her eyes glaring.
There was no chance to reach the rifle.
I'm no Splinter and took the only alter
native by shining up a tall pine tree.
She stopped a minute to examine the
victim OF my shot and vas more en-.
ragged than ever as she came climbing
after me. Once i'll the tufted top of that
pine, ] did some faster thinking, gen
tiemen, t,lan l ever did on any question
of state. The bear was coming and les
ing no time. was without u weapon of
any kind. 1t looked as though bruin
had the drop.
but Il MIN in my prcdicameht over
looks no chances. In MY vest pocket /
had a well filled match safe. III my hip
pocket was Il pint of brandy, minus one
moderate nip. In my hunting jacket
was a bunch of tow. / saturated that
with brandy, and, as the bear approach
ed, l anointed her with the remainder.
Dividing the tow so AS to have two
shots, l lit the first half and dropped
it on the bear. | didn't need the other
half. There was u flash of light. as
though II pan of powder had been ig-
nited. The air was filled with the odor
Of burning hair. The bear let go and
fell down because it was quicker. Then
she left a fiery streak toward the hori-
Zon and made more noise than Il ordi-
nary thunderstorm. - Detroit Free

COOPER HILL NOTES.
Grist OF News Items Written by The
Republicans Correspondent.

Cooper Hill, Wyo., April 16.-(Special
Correspondence.)-We find but little to
write about at the present time as ev-
erything is still closed down waiting
for spring to pen up, with the excep-
ton of two mines. Mr.. John Watkins
was running his mine IN the platinum
ore. but he had not made public what he
intended to do before he stopped work.
The North Star Mining company Is
still driving their TUNED as fast as pos
sible. The formation has got very hard
being a dark granite. Progress is slow
but perseverance is great. No valuable
ore has been uncovered yet in the mine
but several stratus have been cut with
the tunnel.
The Little Ella mine, situated about
bne and one-half miles northwest OF
Cooper Hill is still running a full crew
OF miners 1t was reported at Cooper
Hill last week that the vein was looking
much better and was widening rapidly
much more metal can be seen with the
naked eye thar what could be seen here
tofore. The Cooper Hill stage arrived
in camp last week being II days late.
The snow has been very deep and al
most impossible to get through. The
creeks are rising fast, most Of the small
streams being three and four feet deep.
button creek has spread u on the fiat
just at the foot OF the mountain to about
three-fourths of a mile in width and is
about two feet deep and still rising.
Three-Mile is toaming also, but is not
wide.
The Gull Brothers lost a few sheep in
the big storm, but hat is all the stock
that was lost in this vicinity that is
known of.
Mr.. Thomas McFarlane Of Owen was
a visitor at Cooper Hill last week.. Mr..
McFarlane says the snow is bad up in
his part OF the country but not so rough
as it is in this vicinity. Miss n. NJ.
Dixon closed her school at Owen on the
9th inst. and arrived at her home or
Cooper creek the 10th. She reports hay
ing IA splendid time with her winter
school this term and is likely to return
to the same vicinity to teach for the
summer.

II the present war should involve the
great powers there Is a reasonable GER
tainty that Germany will put itself on
Turkeys side. Russia's attitude can not
be predicted with 80 much confidence, as
she has interests of her own in the east
ern question which are different from
Germany's. and far more vital. Ger
many's interest is sentimental and not
material. In the present conflict the Sui
tan stands for the divine right of kings
to consult their own caprices In govern
ment, and not the interest or welfare of
their subjects. Both the Kaiser and the
Sultan are belated survivals Of an age
which Is dead and discredited, and repre-
sent a spirit which has been outgrown
in all the rest OF Europe except Russia.
The moral tie between Abdul and Will
lam is rs close as was the physical bond
between Eng and Chang.-Globe-D Demo-
