Mrs. Sheffsr was hanging cut the clothes. She had her mouth and her apron full of clotaoGpins, and was put ting a freshly boiled shirt on the line behind the house when she saw a dark shadow on a sheet near Dy, an1 warm breath blew upon her cheek.
 She turned and saw a bear balancing himself on his hind legs. She uttered 9 piercing sh1iek and ran, and the bear dropped to all fours and started n pur- suit. Mrs. Sheffer reached the house and closed the door beSind her. Aroucd the corner of the house came Dick" the brindle bulldog, and from the rear spsd Billy" the goat. That bear felt a violent blow.

Two Companies Divide the Business,
 With New York as the Center.

The controlling center of the great telegraph systems of the United states is New York city. The north. nSIth, east and west are here brought into i'm mediate connection with each other Myriads of wires string out in every direction, which are kept hummlng from one end to the other with mes sages cf life and death, failure and sue cess. peace and war. The great advan- tage of having one central management for the whole country is clear at glance. for were there several different companies the delay in transmission Of messages would be vexing, and in many cas5s would no doubt defsat the end for which they were intend7d.
 The business of the United States Is divided between the Western Union TeIs graph company and the Postal Tel egraph-CabIe company. The former began business about thir5y-twO years ag5. and has the advantage of it's rival in this respect by nearly twenty years. Both Of these companies havs cable connections with EurCpa, the West In dies and South America. As a result O. the late war, there will socn be, it is ex- pected, a cable line between tn s coun- try and Asia One of the most eya3- perating features of the naval battle of Manila was the delay in getting news
