history of amber is thus explained
The immense forests of amber pine
underwent their natural downfall and
decay. The resin of the wood accu-
mulated in large quantities in boys and
ponds and in the soil of the forest
Where the coast was slowly sinking
the sea oy-and-by covered the land.
and the amber, which had been gradu-
ally hardening, was at last deposited
at the ocean bottom. But in higher re-
g1ons the pine continued to flourish.
and SO amber would continue to ba
washed down to the shore, and de-
posted in the later formed green sand.
and the still later formed stratum of
ignite or brown coal. The gum be-
came fossilized by its long burial un-
foreground. More than two hundred
specimens of extinct life and yege-
table, have been found embedded in
amEer specimens, including insects.
reptiles, plants, leaves, shells, fruit, etc.
which had been caught in the LIQUID
gum and entombed there for all time.
Some of these specimens are so curl
ously beautiful as to be almost price
less. and one English collector has a
cabinet of them which is valued at
100000. One piece embalms a lizard
about eight inches long, a little jewell
ed monster perfect in it's form and coll
oring, which has no likeness in any
thing existing now. Indeed, in many
instances science is able solely through
this medium to study details of animal
life which pershed from the earth
many thousands Of years ago. There
are flies preserved with wings poised
as if for flight, where the prismatic
sheen glowing through the yellow sep
ulchre is as brilliant as if they were
floating alive in the sunshine. Harp

This same General Smith was attor-
ney general during the celebrated con-
test for the governorship between
Bashford and Barstow which ended
March q, 1850, with the ousting of
Barstow and the Inauguration of Bash
ford. Barstow's friends were in des-
perate straits. They were being driven
to the wall from every standpoint Of
defense. They had planned what they
thought would be a successful coup
d'etat that would end the proceeding.
The attorney general was persuaded to
gram made for him he could SETTLE
the question and have the proceedings
dismissed. So he appeared before the
court one morning dressed in his best
with an extra twist of his long queue
which hung down between his should
ers, and, addressing the court, said he
craved it's attention for moment;
that he had an authority which he
wished to submit,-a sort of syllabus
of very important case bearing upon
the point he submitted. Having
played his part very gracefully, he
closed by stating that as attorney gen
eral of the state, representing the dig
nifty and power of the commonwealth
and as it's law officer, he moved to
dismiss the Proceeding by virtue of
the power and authority under the
constitution and law vested in him
as attorney general. The old gentle
man seemed to be impressed with the
idea that his motion would prevail as
a matter of course. I was one of the
few auditors who were present watch
ing the result of this last desperate
game, but it ended as we had expect
ed. The court took no notice of the
motion and paid no attention to him
Whatever or to the matter which he
submitted, and proceeded with the
business Of the court as if this anti
quated lawyer and whilom attorney
general had never stood in it's pres
ence at ALL e. w. Keves

SLEPT WITH A WILD BEAR.
Unique Contest Between Two Penn
sylvania Girls for a Husband.

Not many girls would care to spend
night in pen twenty by thirty feet
square with black bear, just trapped,
as a companion, for the sake of gain
ing a husband. Yet this is what two
girls in Lopez, Pa, undertook to do re-
Gently. They both loved the same
nan, and, as it was clear that both
could not have him, they decided upon
display OF bravery as a test of deyo-
ton, the more courageous one to be
the winner. 1t was also decided that.
the loser in the contest was to inform
the man that while a friendship had
existed between them, it could never
become anything more, and that at
any time he wanted to get married he
could do SO without doing her am in
justice. The participants in this
unique contest were Miss Sarah Fisher
and Miss Mary Mcdonald and the
young man was Augustus Sheutzen-
bach. The owner of the bear pen was
Lave Brown, a professional bear trap
per Of Lopez. It was at his suggestion
that the girls agreed on their hazard
GUS undertaking.
Miss Fisher was the first to under
take the task. She entered the pen
and succeeded in remaining there an
hour, when she cried to be liberated.
She tried a number of times to roll
big log on the bear, but was unsuccess-
full and withdrew. The object was to
remain in the pen with the wild live
bear over night, no matter how the
contestant fixed bruin.
Miss Mcdonald made her plans for
the following night. Dave Brown and
Miss Fisher were the only persons who
accompanied her. Upon their arrival
at the pen she pulled from under her
skirt a wash line and muzzle. She
Jumped into the pen and Within an
hour had bruin securely bound and
mCZzled, and spent the night with
bruin as her companion andy pillow.
The wedding was solemnized within a
few days. Dave Brown did not make
any money out of this deal, but he was
a prominent guest at the wedding.
The young man whom Miss McDon-
aid won by her bravery has been living
in New York for over year, but is
said to be in Chicago at present. He
corresponded with the two girls regu-
larly, and managed to make each think
he loved her. Shuetzenbach had de-
cided to get married, but could not de-
termine as to which girl he should
ask. He was in a quandaTy, and it
was while he was giving the matter
most attention that he got letters in
the wrong envelopes. In these letters
he limited at something about getting
married. but did not put the question
direct. He wanted to see which girl
would give him the most encourage
ment
Fortunately and unfortunately, the
letters showed him in his true light.
The girls we're fast friends, and after
serious thought Miss Fisher called ON
Miss Mcdonald and an exchange of
letters was made and the subject dis
cussed. Miss Fisher proposed that
some novel way be adopted of settling
the question as to who should become
the wife of Sheutzenbach. While each
was anxious to become Mrs. Sheutzen-
bach, they would not quarrel and break
what had been a warm friendship. So
they decided on the test which ended
for Miss Fisher.

WALKING SKIRT.

To wear a burden of long skirts be-
draggled with snow and mud is not
only to forego the pleasure of an out
ing, but it is to invite sickness and
even death itself. Is there a man
who would suffer such an abomina-
ton to be fastened upon him simply
because preceding generations did not
possess the independnc to correct the
evil? The persons who to-
day think neat, clean skirts, coming
just to the shoe tops, are less lady
like than trailing conglomeration of
mud or dust or snow and a half-a
hundred weight of garments are not

bedraggled skirts are slovenly.

dust-gathering skirts are being more

come the popular thing in all sea-
sons when there is dust or mud or
snow to be avoided.

declare that the Russian blouse is on

is insisted upon by all the corset
makers. The straight-front corset
has come to stay. Women have
found out that there is more comfort

enough to adopt a fashion which not

The Ex-President of the Territorial
 Legislature Again Heard From.
 The following appears in Fridays Star as a statement from the ex-pOli- tician and clerk of the board of su- pervisors:
 In the first place I see the press generally states that I was arrested in Randsburg and brought back here by the sheriff. This is not true. I was never arrested or restrained of my lib erty one moment until my return to Tucson, and every one knowing any thing about my return knows that returned of my own free accord.
 My reason for returning was that l learned that MT. Ben Heney had been employed by the board of supervisors to expert my books, and MT. Heney having been an enemy of mine, both personally and politically for 8 num- Der of years I believed from what l heard that a conspiracy of some kind was being formulated, and I heard that I was to be made the scapegoat.
 Upon my return to Tucson I was shut in this little room, and all pro- ceedings of the board of supervisors are apparently closely guarded from my knowledge; therefore, at present l have nothing to say about what they have done, for I know nothing.
 There is one thing I would like to ask the board. Why is it that they went out of their way to employ a man as an expert, whom they know tc be a personal enemy of mine, when numbers of impartial men could have been employed at a less salary and a great deal more competent? Besides this same so-called expert was a pub lie official, a receiver and disburser o1 public funds, whose books should have been exported as we'll as those of the other officials. The board may repre- sent this so-called expert as being above the ordinary county official Perhaps so. Then let this expert ol the board Of supervisors explain why it was that he used $20, ,OOO-of the gen. eral fund of the county to redeem that amount of old outstanding war. rants without the shadow of law tc sustain him. This occurred in 1892 This one little transaction crippled the said fund to such an extent that hold CTS of accounts against the county have been compelled to shave their account: from 10 to 15 per cent ever since Otherwise Pima county warrant. would have been at par, the banker. of Pima county being the beneficiaries This is only one little item tha comes to my memory just at present but I will give my reasons hereafter why the exporting of the books O. Pima county should be general ant 1 not special
