THE DOG KNEW THE BUSINESS.
Aud Lying So Close That the Bear Could

party was riding a good COW horse and

around the horn of the saddle, succeed

the fight began in earnest. The bear
made a rush for the horse and struck
out with his right paw so We'll that he
cut deep cash in the horses shoulder
and at the same time freed himself
from the lariat.
The sheepmen, believing that discre-
ton is ever the better part of valor.
betook themselves without loss of time
to the highest limb of bull pine. where
they could in safety watch the battle
going on below.
The bear had successfully routed the
three hounds when the shepherd dog
decided to take a hand in the game.
The bear made a swipe at him. and
catching him by the collar, held on

an embrace such only a bear can
give, and the two rolled over and over

and lay apparently so close to the
bears breast that he was unable to
squeeze him very hard.
They fought thus for 20 minutes. I'M

windpipe cut in two. One of the men
said he had seen many bear fight in
his day. but never such a game fight as
on this occasion. 1t is needless to say
that Rather is much honored in Ar

The Great Man and the eartoonist.

The announcement by State Senator
Timothy Ellsworth that he Will revive Al
Albany the anti-cartoon bill that was
killed Last spring calls for serious con-
sideration. His claim that all the leading
politicians are in favor Of his pet meas
ure may be dismissed with ii smile. For
no real leader of men. confident in the
integrity of his aims and with faith in
the sense of fair play possessed by the
people. ever cared a pins head for the
faces and grimaces put upon him by the
joviaI cortoonist. Butler laughed and
grew fatter over the amusing travesties
of himself. Blaine enjoyed all the car
toons. except the tatooed one. CleveIapd

POWER OF MoRMoNiSM.
Recent Elections in Utah Indicate That
1t is Unbroken.

Opponents of the Mormon church
have been stirred to renewed activity
by several recent events. Chief among
these is, perhaps, the result of recent
elections, which are taken to Indicate
that the sect founded by Joseph Smith
still retains all its political power. Stat
istcs also seem to show that the general
growth of the church has been accele-
rated rather than otherwise of late. At
the October conference President Will
ford Woodruff demanded that Mormons
should unite in politics. At that time
the demand was set down as merely the
talk of an old man, but the November
election seems to show that a large ele-
ment among the Mormons still enter
tain deep respect for the revelations of
church elders John Clark, the candt-
date for mayor of the citizens, but a
very devout Mormon, and an undis-
puted church candidate. was elected by
a small ma jority. The Gentle vote and
the independent vote were divided
among three candidates-all Gentiles.
Mr.. Clark was supported by the poll
ticians whose names are always asso-
ciated with church politics. and the con-
clusion that the church elected him is
we'll supported. Every Gentle who was
on the ticket with him was defeated.
Every Gentle who was on the other
tickets was seriously scratched, and
every Mormon running received a COM
paratively large vote. The same result
Was seen all over Utah. Ogden's admin
istraton. as we'll as Salt Lake City's,
will be in the hands of Mormons.
though in each case the Gentiles form
the bulk of the population. The city
council in each case. by a majority of
Mormons, show a result of religious
voting. The tendency of Mormons to
vote for men of their own faith has an
important bearing on national affairs.
1t is not improbable that next year d
legislature may be elected in Utah
which will be so overwhelmingly Nor
mon that a United States senator will
be chosen who will give his allegiance
te the church leaders.
AT the conference already referred to
il was shown by statistics that the in
crease in membership through baptism
OF children, who have reached the age
of years, and of adult converts in
Utah, Idaho, Canada Colorado. Wyo-
ming and Arizona has been larger than
during any year in the church's history.
Outside the Rocky mountain region the
Mormon church has received more ac-
cessions than in any two years pre-
viously. The greatest comparative in
crease has been in New England in
states east of the Missouri river, north
of the Ohio. and in Oregon and Califor-
mia. Outside of Utah 400 mission
aries are hard at work. many of them
abroad. seeking recruits for the church.
Most of them are young or mddle-aged
men. and none receives any salary, the
church requiring its missionaries to de-
pend on the hospitality of the people
among whom they may be laboring

Blaine Knew.

From the New York Press
Mack of the associated press happen
ed to be sitting on the steps near Mr.
Blaine when the candidate for the pres
idency received a visit from the cler-
gymen of the city headed by DR.. Bur-
chard, who, at that time, preached in
the Murray Hill Presbyterian church
Mr.. Blaine was at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. Burchard's alliterative express
sion occurred in this sentence:
I'VE are republicans, and don't pro-
pose to leave our party and identify
ourselves with the party whose ante
cedents have been rum, Romanism and
rebellion"
Blaine trembled when he heard the
words. and as soon as the clergymen
were gone inquired for Mr.. Mack. Mes
sengers FASTENED hither and thither. but
Mack had gone to his office. There they
found him, and he went To the hotel in
a cab. Mr. Blaine was excited and an
CRY.
Mack" he cried. have you written
out your notes."
Yes" returned Mack. They are on
the wires by this time
'Oh, why didn't you let me see them?
You knew | wanted TO see them. You
ought to have let me see them before
YOU wrote them out. Too late. Too
late,'
He realized the awful import of the
ALTERATION, but Mack's lightning work
had sealed his DOOM And no one felt
worse about 1t than Mack.

A BARON RIDES A COW.
He Is u Millionaire, but n Friend of the
People aud They Love Him.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Not many people would care for the
distinction which is now borne by Mar
quis D'Ayguesvives. This French no
bleman is probably the most eccentric
aristocrat in the world to-day and the
latest of his remarkable performances
is to ride COW eve-y gay instead of
riding a horse or driving.
Marquis D'Ayguesvives lives in Bor-
deaux. France. and is millionaire
whose charity is unlimited. Any day
in the week he can be seen riding
astride his COW through the streets of
Bordeaux. and the only thing which as
sures him from being "guyed' is the
great love which the common people
have for him on account of the
liberal hand with which he distributes
aims. The eccentric millionaire is al
ways dressed in the best of riding hab-
its when he appears on the back of his
COW SuZane. He tells his friends that
he tired of the rough jolting of his
horses and so tried a new mount"
