distance was too short to escape an &C.

OF the ground.
Thinking all trouble was over, the en-

ind out what had become of the bear.
He was there. ~clasping the ~cowcatcher,
the lower part OF his body Just grazing
the ground and his head almost reach
ing the bottom of the headlight. He
seemed to understand that the only
thing he could do was to hold fast, and
he did so during the run to the next
station, 10 miles distant. The station
agent was standing at the door as the
train approached. The sight Of a full
grown bear on the cowcatcher fairly
took away his breath.
As soon as the engine came to a stand
still bruin slipped from his perch and
made a break for freedom. This took
him straight toward the agent, who
dashed through the door, slammed It
shut, leaped through the rear door and
went up the street at a furious rate,
calling out, Bear, bear! Somebody get
a gun!"
soon the town was in a turmoil. a YELL
ing crowd following in hot pursuit of the
bear, some of the boys pelting him with
stones. Suddenly a big shepherd dog
bounced out of a yard and dashed after
the bear. Bruin paused but a minute
or two, but when he passed on the
rash dog had no future interest in the
proceedings.
At the street corner a lawyer carrying
a double-barreled gun came face to face
with the bear, but the latter turned
down the nearest alley. The crowd in

suit was he bowed his head
In acquiescence. "Thy will be done
he said in substance.
The career Of Leo XIII. as pope is too
familiar to require extended comment.
1t was certainly no sinecure to which
he had attained. His predecessor mad
died with a protest on his lips against
the ubiquitous spoliation of the
church" by the Italian government.
Leo did not deem il consistent with his
duty or his dignity to change this at
titude. He remained prisoner Of the
vatican" but made no theatrical dis
play over 1t.
In general his policy has been a
policy OF conciliation-though he never
admitted compromise in what he be-
lieved to be issues of right and wrong.
A friend of peace, he has ever stood
ready to mediate between the nations.
Such service he would gladly have rem
dered in the case OF our war with
Spain, which undoubtedly cast a deep
sadness over his declining days: but he
was far too wise to interpose unso-
licited and without due warrant. He
has always been noted for his warm
interest in the United States. His rec
ognition OF the French republic is an
other striking indication OF his liberal
temper.
Doubtless the greatest triumph Of his
reign was his mi victory over Bis
marck and Falk in the long "Kultur-
Kampf' campaign; and in view of his
moderation, M the tactics adopted by
his opponents, the ~sympathfes of most
Americans will probably rest with Leo.
Anyhow. IT was no small achievement
to prevail against this setter-up and
puller-down OF empires.
To modern social problems the pope
has given earnest attention. and
though his influence has been distinct
ly conservative being steadily direct
ed against anarchy and violence, moth
ing HI seemed nearer his heart than
the amelioration of the condition Of
the laboring classes everywhere. Above
all, he has been a philanthropist-a
true we'll wisher of his race.
For he is a great pope" says F.
Marion Crawford in an article that
gives a wonderful picture OF the man
and his daily life. There has not
been his equal intellectually for a long
time. nor shall we presently see his
match game. DAVIS TURNER.
