The Trapper's story.

I have always been of the opinion
that owing to his keen senses the bear
is our first game animal, and should
be carefully protected by law. His dep
relations on live stock are moi worth
taking into account, and / quite
ready to agree with an old trapper who
was sleeping soundly in his cabin one
day when an eastern man in search of
hairbreadth stories of adventure,
knocked at his door, The door was
opened by the trapper's partner to
whom the visitor made known his er-
rand.
"Bill!" said the younger man, "this
feller wants to hear some narrer es-
capes you've had from bear"
The'old man, rubbing his eyes, looked
the stranger over and said:
Young man, If there's been any
narrer escapes the bears had 'em."-

A PROFESSIONAL .sFLoGGER. I"
Never Punished the same
Man Twice.

The writer was the other day intro
duced to a stalwart warder of one OF
our great convict establishments, by
no means unkindly looking man, who
for many years has been the official
wielder of the cat-o'-nine-tails at the
prison where he serves, says Answers.

bill will affect me, but have in the past

Of view. OF perhaps 60 men to whom
have applied the cat-men ranging in
weight from eight to fifteen stone-l
have never known but one who bore the
punishment without yells, or, at least,
groans. A great deal depends upon the
man who wields the cat as to the extent
Of the pain, and much also depends
upon whether the cat is an old one, with
toughened thongs, or not.
''The understood, dissipated city
street-corner thief suffers the most,

work for years not being affected in
anything like the same degree. AS for
the behavior of the fogged. some OF

London coroners are sticklers for
their rights. A box held at railroad
station recently, owing to the railroad
officials having lost the waybill, was
opened, though it was consigned to a
Hamburg museum, and the body of a
young woman and two skulls were
found inside. The young woman was a
mummied Peruvian and the skulls were
prehistoric, yet the coroner of the dis
trict insists on holding inquests on both
mummy and skulls unless the museum

company was finally effected today in the
election of a new management. The annual
meeting OF stockholders was held and at the

casion. Nothing more was thought OF the
matter until his corpse was discovered at
the foot OF the stairs at daylight. A frac-
