be engaged in meditation. He looked
up in an abStratcted sort of manner,
and, behoding his wife'S carriage at the
curb short way ahead of him, he went
toward it. He opened the door and
placed his foot upon the step prepara-
tory to getting in. Then he must have
discovered its occupant, for he recoied
and gave utterance to an expression
which l cannot set down upon paper.
He was, however, too late, for strong

him by the collar and snatched him
bodily in: The door was banged shut

street.

THE SILyERITE SILENCED.
One of Private John Aliens Inimi-
table Campaign Stories.
From the Washington Post.


Private John Allen, of Tupelo, Miss
the humorist and stOry-teller of the
house, brings back a new story with
him. There is a shrewd suspicion that
he is the silver spellbinder referred to
in his story, although he does not say
so. The story is that silver spellbind-
er was travelling from one point to an
other on horseback to fill his engage
ment, when he met man on the road
hauling a barrel of water, that being
a section of the state where good wa
ter from wells or springs is a rather
scarce article. The silVerte fell into
conversation with the man with the
water barrel, and as they We're discus
sing the burning issue of the cam
paign, the silver man spied a goat in
field by the roadside. He asked the
man with the water barrel what that
goat was worth. The reply was about
two dollars"
Well" said the silVerite, "if we get
free silver that goat will be worth S4,
twice as much as it is now"

women would but realize the importance of
keeping well in woinanly way. Women
cannot too soon understand that il is little
less than crime to neglect the health
of the organs to which are intrusted the
perpetuation of healthy, robust race
of human beings. By neglect of these
organs a woman ruins her own health de-
stroys the happiness of her home, and fails
in the performance of the most sublime
duty that she owes to the world.
The best medicine for women who are
weak where Nature demands the most

make motherhood possible. 1t cures all
weakness and disease that exists there and
stops all distressing, debiitating drains. 1t

Trapped a Bear.
EDCToR CHRONICLE:

EDCToR CHRONICLE:
Mr.. Frank Connolly, who left The
Dalles in July in company with Casey
Mcdonald, intending to engage in stur-
geon fishing along the coast, writes to
his friends that he killed a large black
bear recently that yielded him seven
gallons of lard.
AS fish did not seem to be very plenti-
ful and bear tracks were numerous
along the river, he probably concluded
that bruin was causing the scarcity of
fish in that vicinity, and accordingly set
a trap to catch him and awaited devel-
opments. A few days after, anxious to
know results, he visited the vicinity of
the trap, and when within about fifty
yards of it, he heard the mingled sounds
of scratching claws and angry growls,
having no deadly weapon with him, he
wisely concluded to make no further ad
vance on the enemy, but all possible
haste to the nearest neighbor, two miles
away, for gun. Securing one, he hast
ened back to the scene of dreadful cir
cumstances. and selecting an easy tree
to climb, within easy range of bruin, he
brought his gun to his shoulder, took
dead aim, pulled the trigger, and the
gun happening to be loaded, bruin bit
the dust.
This same veteran hunter killed a
small cub some fifteen years ago in the
Cascade mountains and tracked another
one into hole in the ground. He is
l.
and his record as successful bear trap
per. is the envy of all the fishermen
along the river. HIS PARTNER.
