French name, he called the stream

This river was the scene of an inter-
esting encounter between two hunters
and a grizzly bear. A trapping party,
under the lead of Kit Carson, had
camped near the Picketwire to trap
beaver. One of the party, named Nc
Intyre, who had killed an elk the even-
ing before, but had not brought in the
carcass, said 20 another trapper,
Hobbies, the next morning, that there
was a good chance Of finding a grizzly
by the elk. Hobbies offered TO help
bring the meat"
On arriving at the ravine where the
elk was, Hobbies told Mcintyre, who
cross over to the other side and climb
the hill. Hobbies then went TO the banjo
of the stream. when he saw a large
grizzly bear making his breakfast on
the dead animal.
The bear was in thick, scrubby oald
brush, and Hobbies, making his dog lie
down, crawled behind a rock and shot
at the beast. The bear, snarling at the
wound. went tearing through the
brush. Hobbies reloaded; but when
ready for another shot, he saw, TO his
amazement, the bear chasing Mcintyre,
who was ten feet In advance and bel-

Hobbies, sending his dog ahead, start

reached the bear Mcintyre darted be-

drove slowly along he lifted his eyes
TO the windows on either side of the
street.
Suddenly there appeared woman's
head at a window In one OF the top

and raised his ear to listen to the COM

But the woman had not the lung power

arrived at the top painting. The woman
stood there awaiting his coming.

when he passed in. He was a morose-look

eyes and the drop of his tan feathers spoke
better than words of low spirit. 1t was

A MOoted Question.

Judge Roger s. Greene of Seattle is one
of the best known members of the bar of
the state of Washington, says Harper s
Round Table. He has had a wide expert
ence both on and off the bench, and is
looked up to by both lawyers and laymen
as one of the first men of the state But
this does not in the least prevent the
Judge from admitting the truth of the fol-
lowing turn on himself:
b. F. Dennison of Olympia, the state and
territorial capital the oldest member of
the bar in that city, was once arguing a
case before Judge Greene, when the latter
was on the United States bench. In the
course of his remarks, Mr.. Dennison had
occasion to refer to a certain set of reports
of one of the Philadelphia courts, now
very old and not often quoted. Judge
Greene listened unlike some other judges
and after a while said:
Mr.. Dennison, / notice In the reports

lie to it. What is your authority for that

TIE LOW PRICE or COTTON.

The price of cotton is well calculated to
make cotton planters feel Respondent.
On Friday, in the New York market, the
lowest price on record was touched. That
means that unless there is a speedy change
for the better in the price the planters will
not get enough for their cotton to cover
the cost of growing it and the taxes on
the land on which it was grown. That is
indeed a sad outlook for them, because
it leaves them nothing on which to live.
Naturally, such a condition of affairs
makes the planters dissatisfied. Many OF
them want a change of some sort in the
monetary system, thinking that change
couldn't possibly do them any harm aud
might do them some good They don't
know that a change would benefit them.
but they are willing to listen to theories
which point in that direction.
There isn't an intelligent man among
them. however, who doesn't know the real
reason for the low price of cotton and
how the price could be increased. More
cotton is produced than the world needs
at price which would yield a fair profit
TO the grower. When it is pointed out to
them that the are growing too much cot
ton they reply that it is all consumed and
that therefore the amount produced is not
more than the world wants. They fail
to notice the fact that the world has Just
so much money to spend for cotton ana
that it simply gets more cotton for its
money when the cotton market is over
stocked. Unless the cotton growers pur-
pose working for the benefit of the con-
sumers OF cotton rather than for their
own they will have to reduce the cotton
crop. They have been told that the low
price is due to overproduction, but they
continue to increase the cotton acreage
every year. They cannot expect to be
prosperous with cotton as low as It a at
present unless they can find some way
to produce it at about half what it's pro
duction now costs.
