TRYING 1T ON A BEAR.
But He Stands the Test and
Swallows the Doc.

They had full grown grizzly bear
chained up at a side-track station A.
rev miles west of Salt Lake, and as the
train had to wait for an hour or 40
many OF us gathered around the cap
tive TO get near view of the most
dreaded animal of the mountains.
There was a man in charge, who alsu
collected dimes from the sight -seers
and when he had finished his lecture he
asapproached by callow youth from
Chicago, who lispingly queried:
"Thir, can I askth you uues-
tionth?"
"Of course" was the reply. y
18th thath a real grizzly bear?"
1T is. sir
and has he losth any of his flerce-
ness?"
mot a bit Of it. He was captured
less than two months ago, as I stated
in my lecture; and captivity has NOT
improved his naturally ferocious tenn
per any. Should he get loose, of which
there is no fear. many of us would be
torn to pieces in his onslaught. Be
careful and don't get within his reach"
Il think, thir, said the young man,
after long look at Bruin-'I think YOU
exaggerate the facts"
Don't you credit his ferocity?"
asked the Snowman with considerable
dignity.
mo, thir; I donth. I think you are
giving thith crowd taffy. I have dog
on the car, and 1 think thath dog can
whip your bear"
You must be light in the head" ex-
claimed the now insulted Snowman.
why. man. that bear could get away
with ten acres of dogs and not half
try!"
Il donth think so, thir-I donth think
so. I think my dog can get away with
him."
Then bring him out"
II will, thir. I will bring him outh
and show you thath your big bear has
got no sand.''
He went off to the train, and was
back in five minutes with a small rat
terrier from the baggage car. The dog
didn't weigh over five or six pounds,
and there were shouts of laughter as
his master came UP with him.
"The bear will make just one mouth
full of that thing" warned the show
man, while a score of the passengers
raised their voices in protest.
Gentlemen and ladies and Snowman,
it 18th all right-all right" replied the
young man. You will now thee what
you shall thee"
He put down the dog and shouted
"sick EN-" and the diminutive crea-
ture ran straight for the bear. OF a
sudden it disappeared and everybody
began looking around.
"Thir." said the young man to the
Snowman, 'can you accounth for my
dog?"
Il can, sir. He is inside the bear. I
told you how it would be-"
and my dog has been gulped DOWN."
MADE just one morsel, SIR
and the bear didn't run or lie
DOWN."
you didn't see him, did you?'
mo, thir; didn't. Thir, let me shake
hands with you. I thought you wath
bluffing, but 1 find you weren't
thought my dog could lick any grizzly
bear in the world. but 1 was mistaken.

grizzly bear and not COW fixed UP

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

The InVestlgatiOn IntS the 0hRFgOl
Against the Omesrs Of the supromO
Lodge Ia virtual whltsWash.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Aug. a.-The
special investigating commltteehppolnt-
ed by the supreme lodge Of the knights
of Pythfas on the FIRST day of Its eesslon
to investigate the truth or falsity OF the
charges made against the officers OF
that lodge and also find out, II possible,
where the information had come from,
made It's report this morning.
The committee paid special attention
to the discovery Of the author OF the
charges but the report fails to show that
It was successful In this.
'.As to the direct charges rejecting or
tending to reflect on the supreme keeper
or records and seals White, we find from
the testimony submitted that Brother
White is not a stockholder or director
IN bank. trust company or other imam
clal institution; that he IS not a etock-
holder in the Brandon Printing Com-
pany NOR interested therein In any man
ner, nor never was; that he Is not nor
has not been directly or Indirectly inter-
ested In any contracts Of any character
made by or In the interests OF the SUI
preme lodge; that since becoming su-
preme keeper OF records he has not been
engaged in any business, devOting his
entire time and energy to the discharge
OF the duties Of that office"
As to the charge OF extravagance and
waste. the committee finds that the ofti-
GERS and members OF the supreme lodge
have, in all things, conducted che busl-
ness Of the supreme lodge honestly, fair
ly and for the interests OF the order uni
veFsally. and that all inslnua6ons to the
contrary are absolutely false and with
out foundation. We further find that
there have been large sums of money
expended in what might seem to be a
useless manner. but we also find that all
such expenditures are the result nf de
rect legislation on the part Of this body
and authorized by It. and that the ofii-
GERS in making the expenditures were
acting simply as the Instruments OF this
body in carrying out its dictates"
The committee appointed to recon-
mend the time and place of holding the
next encampment OF the Uniform Rank.
Knights OF Pythias, and the convention
OF the supreme lodge, has reported In
favor of Detroit, and set the time for
the meeting OF the supreme lodge on the
second Tuesday in September, 1900.
