FIGHT WITH A BEAR.
Colorado Miners Terrific Struggle
with q Maddened Brute.

A Colorado Miners Terrific Struggle
with Maddened Brute.
A prospector named Anderson, who
Is working a claim near the Tam
O'Shanter group Of mines In Ashcroft.
Colo, fought a terrific battle with \
large black bear the other day. An
derson, with the assistance Of his dog,
proved victor in the desperate encoun-
ter, but he will carry marks Of the en-
gagement to his grave.
Anderson started out early In the az
ternoon with dog and Winchester rife
to hunt. bear tracks having been re-
ported within few miles of the mines.
He and the dog picked up the tracks
and trailed them for about three miles,
when they became fresher and the dog
bayed the fact that he had the scent.
The snow was quite deep and Ander
son plunged through, taking little or no
precaution to see where he was going.
He was suddenly arrested by a howl
of pain from the dog, and looked up
only to be confronted by an enormous
bear that had swatted the canine one
and sent it bowling toward its master.
The bear sQuatted on its launches
waiting for Anderson to open the fight.
The man recovered from his aston
lshment quickly, and raising his rife
dred at random and started to retreat
In doing SO his foot caught in some
brush and he fell. Bruin. hit and mad
dened at the pain, was over the pros.
trate man In an instant, and then came
lifeanddeath struggle. Man and
bear rolled over and over. The dog
proved a valuable ally to Anderson and
worried Bruin considerably by biting
his hind legs. So aggravating did the
dog become that the bear turned its at
tention from the man to Its tormentor.
1t was fatal movement for the bear.
as it gave Anderson an opportunity TO
get out hunting knife he carried, and
when Bruin turned again the man
closed in with the animal and buried
the knife in its breast. Bruin fell over
dead and Anderson dropped exha listed.
The mans clothing was literally torn
from him and hung In shreds. His
face, head. body. hands, arms and legs
were terribly lacerated. and It will b.
several weeks before he will be able
to hunt bears again. The bear weighed
$50 pounds

Christ came to show the world God
in the flesh. and had to go to the cross
to complete the work.
One way to avoid having stereotype
prayers is to make new one whenever
we have a new need.
Paul didn't say that he could do all

Caught Up with the Herd.

Southern railroads have a reputati

we'll melited A western travelling man
making a trip on these lines suffered
n great deal of annoyance from this
particular failing. but up to the time
Of the following incident he had enjoy
ed himself immensely guying the con-
ductors. trainmen or any persons hav-
ing to do with the roads about their
rapid transit. He was travelling one
afternoon on an exceptionally slow
train. which came to stop every now
and then without any apparent cause.
After expressing himself very audibly
to the passengers he resigned himself
to the inevitable and doZed off into
short maps. which were interrupted by
the sundry jerks Of the train. at which
he complained. The passengers show
ed their annoyance at these complaints
by angry looks. The conductor had ex-
cused the engineer in every possible
way. The last apology had been that
had started again and proceeded about
ten minutes when it halted with a jerk.
Up walked the impatient traveller and
petulantly remarked: Dear dear!
suppose, conductor, this worse than
slow train has struck another herd Of
cattle" 'Struck another one! Not
much" replied the conductor. We've
simply caught up again with the first
herd we ran into: that's ALL" The trav-
eler subsidized and the conductor was
left in peace.-Harper's Round Table.

The Iowa, the latest addition to the

only by Its trial record at Boston did it
prove to be the fastest American war

teen knots an hour over the whole
trial course won for its builders, the
Cramps Of Philadelphia, the premium

regular Government 'tohrse or the
Massachusetts coast furnishes a good
test OF seagoing vessel, and the Iowa
stood the test admirably, proving itself
superior to any other battleship afioat
In the matter of speed. There Is prac-
tically no other test than that Of speed
by which to judge the battleships,
though the real test of their efficacy
would come when battl&ship meets
