THE sly POLAR BEAR.
How He Gets His Dinner of Seal or
WaIrus Meat.

How He Gets His Dinner of Seal or
WaIrus Meat.
In his native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small boys
anxious to treat him to buns and other
dainties. The consequence is that bruin
has to devise many curious ways Of se-
curing his food, and none is more
strange and interesting than that relat-
ed by two Trustworthy travellers in
Greenland, that country of strange
sights.
They have known the polar bear to
take stone or huge lump Of ice in
his fore paws and from a favorable
height, as a cliff or a precipitous ice
hill, to hurl the missile down. upon the
head of a walrus, an enormous brute
often twice the size of the bear, and so
stun him that bruin could rush in and
complete the destruction at his leisure,
tbrs securing q months rations.
The most usual food Of the ice bear,
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of the
arctic regions. The latter is the wari-
est animal of the north, and both Eski-
mo and polar bear need their best STRAIT
egy to catch 1t.
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore and
islets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep.
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice to the water
below, and into which they can throw
themselves by the least movement.
Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up as
near as he deems safe and then begins
crawling ON his wary prey.
The seal, IL the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scanning
the vicinity for signs of an enemy's ap-
proach. During these times the bear is
very quiet and as still as death itself,
with eyes apparently closed. though
really corner of each is kept open, and
in this way he hopes the seal will take
him for heap of snow, an appearance
which his coat readily helps him to as
sumo.
During the maps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, according
to his nearness to the seal and conse-
quent fear Of being heard or seen
When but 10 or - yards away, and the
seal Is in the depths of good nap, the
bear rushes upon him and with single
blow of his powerful paw knocks the
smaller brute senseless and SO far away
from the hole that he cannot escape by
that way, even If the blow received is
not Immediately fatal.
In winter time the ice is covered with
snow. and this is followed out by the
seal into snowhouse. covering the hole
in the ice and connecting at the top of
the dome with an aperture about the
size of a shilling, called the blowhole,
for it is through this that the seal
breathes when he is in want of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour il necessary, and when the
snorts Of the seal are heard he crushes
in the fragile dome of the snowhouse
with his paw, impaling the seal on his
curved claws, and proceeds to practi-
cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in arctic winter. London

A Runaway.

Peter Heitman, proprietor of the Car
son Valley Flour Mill, while driving
home in spring wagon, last Tuesday
met with an accident which came near
costing him his life. 1t seems that the
team was hitched with long traces and a
short pole. The horses started to run,
the pole dropped from the neckyoke, and
Mr.. Heitman was thrown to the ground
With such violence as to inflict a serious
wound on the side of the head. The ac-
cident took place near the Frantzen
ranch where he was at once taken. Dr.
Franklin dressed the wounds and Fri
lay Mr.. Heitman was able to be moved

Truth Shall Conquer.

The man is thought knave or fool,
Or bigot, plotting crime,
Who, for advancement OF his kind,
Is wiser than his time.
For him the hemlock shall distil;
For him the axe be barred;
For him the gibbet shall be built:
For him the stake prepared.
Him shall the scorn and wrath Of men
Pursue with deadly aim;
And malice, envy, spite and lies,
Shall desecrate his name.
But truth shall conquer at the last,
For round and round we run,
And ever the right comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.
