CHAINED TO A MAD BEAR.
Decidedly pheasant Experience of a
Maine Woodman.

Decidedly pheasant Experience of a
Maine Woodman.
Milton Pike lad bear trap set up near
Locatoan on the biggest hill 10 the south
OF the stream. IL was near the bears den,
which was hole or small cave in tho
ledge. The old lady had two paths leading
from the mouth of her den, and when
Pike set his trap in one she Travelled by the
other route. Pike had another trap, but
it was not provided with chain long
enough TO attach it properly to a clog.
After thinking the matter over awhile he
set his trap q point where the two paths
come near together. Then he set the trap
with the short chain in the other path and
stretching the few links across the inter
vening space attached IL TO the longer
chain, which had n clog attached.
But two days later Jerry Perkins came
along the trail not far from the hillside.
He had an AK, and said he was whistling
and enjoying an hour of fair weather,
which by some chance visited the section
that day. Jerry was destined to meet that
bear, and he did. He saw that the animal
was in trap and that the clog had stuck
fast in some bushes. Thinking il would
be a very easy matter TO advance and
TO do so. His AK hit the bear quite n
thump, but as she lodged the blow took
effect n little lower on her skull than the
woodsman had intended 1t should, and
just as tie blow fell Jerry heard a strange
sound in the neighborhood of his feet, and
he found a bear trap on his ankle. The
bear had gone such u short distance before
being brought up by the clog that the 9TH
er trap had not been sprung.
Perkins found himself hitched to an
ugly old she bear with cubs only few
rods away in a crevice in the rock. The
bear was fresh, having dragged the clog
no distarce, and she went at Jerry in a
very businesslike manner. Again the Ak
was brought down on her head, this time
with better effect than before. Before the
third and final blow could be struck she
had lacerated the flesh of Mr.. Perkins lef,
leg The man got out of the trap after
some difficulty He could move about
enough to cut sapling and with this as q
lever he put the spring down so that thu
Jaws fell back and released him. He ant

WAYS OF FENCING.
Two Methods and Their Chief Point. -,
Difference.

With the Italian method the foroor or,,,
aooAs 10 touch his adversary, and TO that
emu al means are good. He runs. iumns
una leaps upon his adversary like TIGER
ne FENCES with his arms drawn back TO his
nody-in fact, he fences no more bnt nsos
MS ioll as he would dagger. When he 10
on the defensive, no performs regular cir.
cles with his foil and USES it as he wonld n
cane ~ "'Ni0
WIN tho Italian method one must have
great quicknesS of legs, for If the fenccr
attacks you with a jump and does not
touch you he will nc once iump bocl,
TO the end of the room to avoid vour ro.
poster &c Is what | call parry with your
legs Now, If you learn 70 use foil It
is TO parry with that foil, not to run away
IN order to give you chance 10 leap again
10 Is all right TO retreat but not too much
prefer TO be touched rather than 10 run
away from an attack Ore step back Is
quite sufficient.
In the French method the teachers aim
IS 10 give his pupil all the elegance posi-
Die In each one of his movements No ierky
movements must beexecuted. for it is nee
ness In the shoulder while he must mag
Inc that he is holding in his fingers a pen,
not u foil This is especially true for the
feints, where the lingering plays the big
gest part in fooling your adversary in the
parade. The point of the foil must move
and turn without the hand moving from
Its regular position. OF course it takes a
great deal of practice. The teacher never
allows pupil to enter into a contest with
anybody until he knows how to make q
frank attack with the arm extended with
out jumping or to parry without running
away. If he enters into a contest without
these qualities, he will naturally become &
fencer of the Italian style and find that
his touches are not counted according Il
American rules.
When pupil is entering an assault ant
Is touched by his adversary, 10 must b.
able to tell what kind of an attack he ha
made or what attack his adversary ha
made on him. Then he becomes gooC
fencer, for be uses Judgment In TIL
French method the contest Is supposed t.
show elegance, quickness and good breed
ing between the adversaries, and not
regular rough and tumble as it does in tn
Italian method. -Minneapol Times.

SLAPPED A PRINCES FACE.
A Man Doesn't Like Being Laughed at
Even by Royalty.


1t Is not given to every one to enjoy the
distinction of slapping princes face.
person who arrived at Colombo about the
time the king of Siam was leaving for Eu-
rope is in that position.
According to The Times of Ceylon, the
king and his immediate attendants had
left; the remainder of the suit and the four
young sons of the king waited for the
launch which was to take them to the YES
sci.
The princes were standing close to the
waters edge, looking very smart in their
eton jackets and large white collars, when
boat containing several passengers from
one of the steamers in the harbor came up.
One of the occupants Of the boat In get
ting on to the jetty was clumsy enough
to fall into the water. There were good
many natives standing by and they all
began laughing at the occurrence. 1t
rather rifles an Englishman to be laughed
at by n crowd of gaping natives, and this
particular Englishman gave vent to his
feelings and smacked the face of the first
person he encountered when he had scram
bled on to the jetty.
The youthful princes had been laughing
with the rest of the people when the man
fell into the water, but 1t was unfortunate
that the irate passenger should have first
come across one of their royal highnesses
when he landed, because 1t was on one OF
their smiling faces that the blow de-
scended.
Without being in the least aware that he
had hit any one out Of the ordinary the
passenger was passing on to get ashore.
| There is no knowing how the matter
would have ended if Major Knollys, who
had charge of the police, had not induced
the wrongdoer to make an apology. AS
soon as the prince understood the nature
of the mistake he treated the affair with
! all Dossible good humor.

has the energy to develop that lovely carpet
ing of grass and flowers which gives to the
low lying lands, even to the eighty second
parallel of latitude, Il charm equal to that
of the upland meadows of Switzerland, is
in Il measure wanting in the south. In it's
place frequent cold and dreary fogs navi.
gate the atmosphere and render dreary and
dosolate a region that extends far into
what may be properly designated the hab-
liable zone The fields of peoples, anem-
ones, saxifrages and mountain pinks, of
dwarf birches and willows, are replaced by
interminable snow and ice, with only here
and there bare patches of rock to give as.
surance that something underlies the snow
covering. Mans habitations in the north
ern hemisphere extend to the seventy
eighth parallel of latitude and formerly
