ALWAYS SOME ONE BELOW.

On the lowest round of the ladder
I firmly planted my feet,
And looked up in the dim, vast distance
That made my future so sweet.
7 climbed till my vision grew weNy. j.
I climbed till my brain was on fire. e&
planted each footstep with wisdom,
Yet never seemed to get higher.
For this round was glazed with indiffer-
ence'
And that one was glazed with scorn,
And when grasped firmly another
I found under velvet a thorn.
Till my brain grew weary of planning,
And my heart strength began to fail,
And the flush of the mornings excitement
Ere evening commenced to pale.
But just as my hands were unclasping
Their hold on the last-gained ground,
When my hopes, coming back from the 1u-
ture,
Were sinking again in the ground,
One who had climbed near the summit
Reached backward a helping hand,
And, refreshed, encouraged and strength
ened,
took once again my stand.
And I wsh-oh, wish-that the climbers
Would never forget as they go
That though weary may seem their Gimp
ing,
There is always some one below.

''No, I am not through with my days

as he turned the key in the door of his
shop few nights ago.
''Not through" asked a bystander,

his chair.
.'No, SIR" the barber continued. ''I
have a customer whom I have shaved
every night for nearly three years. It's
fact, and the man wouldn't be able to
sleep wink tonight if I didn't go
and shave him. At least he thinks he
couldn't sleep without it.
Funny, isn'tit? For several years he
suffered with nervous prostration,
which brought on insomnia. The doc
tors-and he tried not few-oid him
little good. During this time he let his
beard grow until he had long flowing
whiskers.
Zone day his wife asked him if he
wouldn't feel better to have his whiskers
shaved off. He assented, and I was
called in. It was about nine o'clock.
after had closed my shop for the day.
I removed the whiskers and gave his
head a good rubbing. That night he
slept soundly, the first real sleep he had
had for months
''The next might he suffered with
wakefulness. The night following he
was just as bad. Finally, in two or three
days, his wife again called me in to
shave him. I did so, and that night he
got good sleep. The result is that I
was called in every night.
FINALLY agreed to do the work for
SO much a month, and I am a regular
caller at mis- home every night. I am
thelast one to see him. After shave him
and rub his head he goes directly to
bed. He has had no insomnia since I
began that nightly shaving. .
'No, it isn't because of any particu-
lar .power I have over him. Any bar
Der could do it, I suppose, but he won't
have anyone but me. Yes, it is bore

BEAR AND DOG FIGHT DEATH.
StaGhOund Clings So Tight to Bruin
That He Came Out Harmless.

Staghound Clings So Tight to Bruin
That He Came Out Harmless.
The following capital bear story
comes from Klickitat county, Washing
ton, through a correspondent, "a. M"
Not long ago a party of sheepmen,
consisting of Will Coleman, Milt More
head, George Van Ostran and herder,
were in the vicinity of "swamp COR
rals,'' on the upper Klickitat river,
when they discovered yearling brown
bear. The party had with them num-
Der of coyote hounds and shepherd
dog, and the dogs Immediately freed
the bear. The bear, being only d year.
ling, and freed so. easily, Van Ostran
offered to climb the tree and shake him
out, evidently thinking him on a par
with a coon, but the bear, refusing to
be shaken, held OH with tenacity.
A rope was then thrown Van Ostran,
who made a moose and with a dex-
ferrous throw succeeded in catching the
bear about the head. One of the men of
the party was riding good cow horse,
and to him Van Ostran threw the end
of the rope, and the latter, taking
turn around the horn of the saddle,
succeeding in bringing down the bear.
And now the fight began in earnest.
The bear made 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 sheepmcn, 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,
while the shepherd dog danced a Jig.
Having rid himself one by one of the
dogs, it looked as though bruin was
coming out 'high cock O. the game,'
when Rather, staghound belonging to
A. Smythe, seized the bear by the
throat, and was Immediately locked in
an embrace such as only bear can
give, and the two rolled over and over
On the ground. But the hound held on
and lay apparently SO close to the BEARS
breast that he was unable to squeeze
him very hard.
