WHAT A LIE COST.

1t was into a large and handsomely

~spiendent with mirrors, which re-
nected the dazzling brightness shining
from many suspended bulbs of light
tnat a young man, some rs years of
age, entered in reply to an advertise
ment for a "frst-class clerk"

standing near the door as the young
man entered, Mr.. P. bowed slightly,
asking what he could have the pleasure
OF doing for him, when the young man
removed his hat and with a radiant
smile which seemed to suit him we'll,
and in tone of voice which gave good
evidence of refinement, said: 81 have
called, Sir, in reply to your advertise
ment for a 'first-class clerk"
Being questioned as to whom he had
served, or was serving, and replying
satisfactorily, Mr.. P. was SO favorably
impressed by the young mans bearing
and manner that, without demanding
references" as to character or ability
or both, he at once engaged him to
enter upon his new service at the be-
ginning of the following week.
Promptly at the hour appointed Sid
ney Stanton was at his post. He soon
sprang into favor with Mr.. p, whe
warmly congratulated himself that at
last he had found what he had so long
been seeking-a young mar who was
quick In his every movement, a thor
ough salesman and with an address
as natural as it was pleasant. He was,
indeed, his beau ideal Of a counter
hand.
1t was not long, however before a
kind 60 friend whispered to Mr.. P.
that Stanton was addicted to drinking,
and that he had lost more than one
situation by it. But it made no differ
ence to Mr.. P. His only reply was
that he had found in him a young man
of superior ability, and that so far he
was we'll satisfied with him, and that
even if the story were true, he should
here have another chance given him
to retrieve his character.
Nothing was said to Stanton about
this, and he had probably hoped and
persuaded himself to believe that Mr..
P. knew absolutely nothing.
He had held his position for about
six months, to the most perfect salts
faction of his employer, when one
morning a telephone message come to

some gusto a story of a private SOL

birds, but my companion showed me
the Italian way. He TOOK the bird be-

all. When he finished there was moth
ing on the place except the sharp stick
on which the birds had been impaled.

KILLED BY A BEAR.
Miners Plucky Fight With the Animal
Ended In Death.

Seattle (Wash.) Cor. st. Louis Globe
Democrat: F. H. Browning, of Seat
tie, who has just returned from DaW-
son over the ice, brings news of the
terrible death of Carl Joel, of New
York, who was killed by a Yukon pear
on the banks of the Indian river. These
bears resemble a cinnamon, but are
larger. Joel was tramping up the
trail with a heavy pack, when he sud-
denly came face to face with a pig
Yukon bear, which started for the
miner as 500 as he saw him. 9
was armed with a heavy "A Colt re-
volver and every chamber was loaded.
He started to fire at the beast when 1T
was 20 feet away. His aim was steady
and when he pulled the trigger a bull
let struck home. Blood spurted from
a severed artery, and he wrote out the
story of the fight in crimson on the
snow. The bear kept on and the MIN
er fired again. Another squirt of blood
showed that the second bullet went
home. No vital spot had been struck
and with the huge beast numbering
down upon him Joel stood his ground
and fired the remaining cartridges. AS
the beast was upon him he fired his
last shot. The bullet struck home
over the heart, but it had been fired
too late. With it's last tremendous
burst of strength the great bear grab
bed the unfortunate man in it's death
grip and never let go. A party of
miners bound for Lower Dominion
creek found the body a short time
after. Joel was still in the bears
grasp. 1t had been a fight to the
death of both.

Cats Careful Toilet,

Cats make the most careful toilet of
any class Of animals. The lion and the
tiger wash themselves in exactly the
same manner as the cat, wetting the
dark, india-rubber-like ball of the fore
foot and inner toe and passing it over
the face and behind the ears. The foot
is thus at the same time a face sponge
and brush, and the rough edge combs
the rest of the body.

proceeded to get drunk on the pro-
