THE KITTEN AND THE BEAR.
Puss Frightened Bruin Up Tree and
Kept Him There.

Puss Frightened Bruin Up Tree and
Kept Him There.
Chris Burns, the veteran first SER
geant of troop d, had kitten which,
during the summer camping of the
troop at the Lower Geyser basin, made
her home in the sergeant's tent, says
st. Nicholas. Here, curled up on
pair of army blankets, she defied the
world in general and dogs in particu
lar. When the latter approached she
would elevate every bristle on hel
brave little back, her eyes would grow
like live Goals and her tail would swell
up threateningly If dogs approached
too near she would hiss and exhibit
the usual signs of hostility until tbs
intruders had vanished from her neigh
borhood. One day. when the camp wal
bathed in sunshine, and every soldier
in camp felt lazy, an inquisitive blact
bear came down the mountain side
and, whether because he was in searct
of adventure or because attracted by s
savory smell from the cooks fire, be-
gan to walk about among the white
tents of the cavalry command. Sud
denly the kitten caught sight of him.
Dogs by the score she had seen, but
this particular dog" was the largest
and the hairiest dog she had ever seen'
But she did not hesitate. 1t Wa2
enough for her that an enemy had in
vaded her special domain. Kissing
forth her spite, while her little body
uuivered with rage, she darted forth al
the bear. The onslaught was enough
for bruin. With a snort Of fear bruin
made for the nearest tree, short dis
lance away, and did not pause until
he was safely perched among the up
per branches Meanwhile the kitten
stalked proudly about on the ground
beneath, keeping close guard over hel
huge captive, her back still curved IN
to a bow, and her hair still brstllns
with righteous Indignation, while hei
tail would now and then give signln'
can't little wave, as if to say, That's
the way | settle impertinent bears.
The soldiers, who meanwhile had pour
ed forth from their tents, could scarce
ly believe their eyes; but there was tht
bear in the tree and the kitten below
and there were those who had seer
the affair from beginning to end. Anc
perhaps the strangest part of it all wa'
that the bear would not stir from his
safe position in the branches until thu
kitten had been persuaded to leave
her huge enemy a clear means of re-
treat. Then he slid shamefacedly
down from his perch and ambled has
tily off toward the mountain.

CUT DOWN THEIR TREES.
Peculiar Punishment Inflicted on Re-
beIlious Tribes in India

Simla, Nov 3.-A dispatch from Mat
sura says that Sir Lockhart's columns
are encamped in the Maiden valley,
hitherto unknown district, which the
Afridis had boasted no invader could
penetrate.
A column has visited the notorious
mosque and grove at Bagh, where the
Afrfdi rising originated and which has
been the center of the political and
fanatical intrigue which has animated
the outbreaks of the tribesmen. The
mosque was left untouched and was
not entered, but the trees in the grove
We're hewed down as a mark of pun
ishment and a sign of victory
The enemy offered the feeblest resist
ance and was easily dispersed, but as
yet the tribesmen have made no pro-
posals of peace.

M'KINLEYIS PLEASED.
Thinks the Returns Indicate That Re
publicanism is as Strong as Ever.

Pfttsburg, Nov. ST am well pleased
with the result of the election, it indi-
Gates that fealty to the Republican party
and the principles it represents is as
strong as ever
So spoke William Mckinley, president
of the United States. in the private car
Afayflower to a representative of the As
sociated Press about 10 o'clock this morn
ing In the car was placed a long dis
tance telephone and telegraph opera
tor and here the president, accompanied
by Senator Burrows and his private sec
retary, J. A. Porter, sat and received the
news of the great battle that was being
Waged over the land
The president made no effort to disguise
the fact that his interest was centered in
Hanna. In fact, President Mckinley was
in constant communication with Mr.. Han
by telephone up to o clock this morn
ing, when he was assured that all was
well by a message telephoned by the Sen
ator from the Union club at Cleveland.
President Mckinley, in spite of the late
hour at which he went to bed last night,
up betimeS this morning, anxious to
obtain election news, He did not make
any comment on the situation, however.
beyond that quoted above, but chatted
and expressed himself as pleased with be-
ing able to be present at the Founders
day exercises Secretary Porter said to
the re. sentative that President Mc&In-
ley was deeply interested in the Ohio cam
paign. This is d peculiar election all
around. You see there are so many local
issues in the different states said Mr.
Porter, chat the national aspect has been
lost sight of. In many states the cleo
ton has resolved itself into a fight against
'bossism,' irrespective Of party
The first and only stop made by the
Presidents s train was at Alliance, where a
large bundle of newspapers was taken on
party read quietly until the train pulled
into the union station.

BRYAN cHEERED UP.
Says the Returns Show the People
are Not Satisfied.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.-Mr. Bryan to-
day gave the following statement to
the Associated Press:
The returns are so incomplete that it
is impossible to discuss yesterdays
election in detail. The Republicans eve
rywhere endorsed the Republican ad-
ministration and in view of losses sus-
tanned by them in almost every state
it would seem that the Republican pol
icieS are not being endorsed at the
polls. The sentiment in favor of the
Chicago platform shows a healthy
growth throughout the country. Per
haps our opponents will now admit that
silver is not dead. The attempt to Sc
cure international bimetallism has
proved a failure and it is now more ap-
parent than ever that the people of the
United States must legislate for them
selves on the financial question. Free
and unlimited coinage at 16 to 1, is
nearer now than it was a year ago.
High tariff upon a gold basis has dis
appointed those Republicans who look
ed to it for relief Taken as a whole
the returns are very encouraging. 1
think I voice the sentiments of Demo-
Gratis. POpulistS and Silver Republicans
when I say the fight VIII be continued
with even more earneStnesS until the
gold monopoly is broken and the mon
ey trust is overthrown. The fusion for
ces increase their percentage in Ne
braska and probably their actual ma
jOrity. (Signed).
