1t is well known that missionaries in
China do a great deal in the way OF
alternating suffering among those who
cannot obtain the services of . doe
tor. Quite recently a Chinaman lost
his sight and some sympathetic neigh
bors came and enlisted the services of
the local missionary on his behalf The
missionary found his patient suffering
from cataract and succeeded in remOv-
ing it and restoring sight TO the China
man. The obliging neighbors then,
however, represented to the missionary
that he bad robbed the man of the
means of earning his living Che was q

would be expected to take him into his
service and keep him

John BilIingsIy, an aged farmer re-
siding near Homestead. Ind, was IN
iured in an unusual manner. White ne
was sitting in his hallway smoking

as to enjoy the current of air, a fox
that was being pursued by pack OF

place was visited by some 1oggers and
miners few days ago they saw several
large bears around the place, but did
not attach any value to the incident.
They entered the little old building,
however, and found that Cameron had
not moved, as was supposed, as all his
clothes and food were still there, though
rather moldy. 1t was then surmised
that he had got lost in the neigh boring
forest, so a party was organized and a
search was made.
1T was not long before Cameron's
skeleton was found in the woods short
distance from the hut, stripped of flesh,
and a huge grizzly bear was seen leis-
urely reclining near by. 1t was quite
evident that the bears were the means
of Cameron's terrible end. 1t is sup
posed that the unfortunate man while
prospecting fell down a crevice in the
mountains breaking his leg, and had
then crawled on his hands and knees
for nearly two miles. Unable, because
of weakness and exhaustion, to reach
his cabin, he had been attacked and de,
voured by bears

ing his bare and dirty toes from be-
low. 1t was held to his foot by a
string tied around his instep; in fact,
he was literally ION his uppers,'' g. cir
cumstance which evidently bothered
him as little as the geodetic tablet.
Presently, in one of his waking in
tervals, he espied a half-smoked cigar
stump lying on the pavement about
yard from the bench. For a moment
he surveyed it calmly, dispassionately,
almost judicially. Then he executed a
remarkably strategic movement. With
out stirring the upper portion of his
body, he slowly uncrossed his legs, low
cred his foot accurately and DELHI
erately over the treasure trove, gripped
it in a convulsive clutch of his toes,
reversed the motion, raised his foot,
carrying with it the stump, crossed his
legs, languidly stretched forth his hand
and secured his prize. A equity club
man, who was out for a constitutional,
and who had watched the proceeding
from another bench, was lost in ad
miration. "Why, the man is a wondefi"
he exclaimed to a friend. There is
something magnificent, almost super
natural in such laziness as that. He

bow. The tramp manifested no sur

was given Immediately. but before the
enraged animal could be surrounded he
jumped into Il water channel adjoining
the ZOO" swan across and headed
north through the beautiful flower
beds. Keeper De Vry summoned the
mounted police and the chase began.
After running two blocks in the flower
beds bruin turned into the bicycle track
and dashed down the path amid the
shrieks of women cyclists. Several men
leaped from their wheels and climbed
trees.
Crossing a drive north of the lily
pond the animal suddenly broke in
upon the early morning meditations of
Park Commissioner Joseph Dunton,
who was driving past. The red running
gear of the commissioners turnout in
creased the fury of the animals mad
rush and Commissioner Dunton was
forced to seek safety in the speed of his
horse.
Farther on the bear crossed the path
of Dr. Woodwork, president. of the
park board. Indignant at the unseemly
spectacle of bear hunt amid the cost
~ landscape gardening of Lincoln park,
the doctor forgot all about his sick calls
and with his driver promptly Joined the
chase.
At Fullerton avenue the animal
turned west, but had not gone far when
Steve Johns, a gypsy and former keep
er of the bear, confronted it. Johns
was armed with pair of steel prongs,
and he quickly subdued the enraged
brute. After being captured its paws
were securely tied and it was loaded
into a wagon and again placed in COR
fnement.

money for a fresh start in life.
He determined to commence with a

began to study the bill of fare while
the colored waiter waited for his order.

4 large black snake in. the act of ex-
tracing milk from her udder. The rep
tile had wound its body three times
around fence post, twice around the
heifer's left leg. and had then reached
up and taken one of her teats in its
mouth. The deacon yelled. The snake
lowered its head and looked around.
Quick as flash it unwound its coils
from the heifer's leg and the fence post
and started for the deacon, who was
coming on the run. The deacon struck
at the snake with small stick. The rep
tile lodged the blow, threw itself into
a coil, struck and sunk its fangs into
the deacOn's leg just above the ankle
The deacon killed the snake before it
cooled a second time, hurried TO the
house. and summoned a doctor. The
Geacon's leg was swollen to an immense
size, and the doctor said it might have
TO be amputated.

LIVELY BEAR CHASE.
Bruin Escapes from a Park Cage
and Causes q Panic.
When the Hose Was Turned on Him
to Give Him = Bath He Got In
diEnant and Broke Through
the Iron Bars.

Park officials, a squad of police and
score Of citizens engaged in a wild
bear hunt in Lincoln park the other
day, says the Chicago Evening Post.
Enraged at the attempt of the attend
ants to give him bath by turning the
hose on him, the animal broke the iron
bar of his cage and tore wildly through
the park, destroying landscape garden
ing and driving crowds of people in
every direction IN frenzy of fright.
After an hours chase, led by Animal
Keeper De Vry and his assistants and
the park mounted police, bruin was
surrounded and forced into captivity.
The hunt. while it lasted, was full of
excitement at each appearance of the
enraged animal on the drives. Cyclists
were upset in a mad rush for safety,
horses were frightened, nurse girls
with their infant charges ran from the
hunt in terror and the widest eonfu-
sion prevailed in that portion OF the
park covered by the chase.
The bear was recently purchased
from the gyPsies at Forty-seventh
street and Western avenue. He stands
three feet high and is rough-coated and
Hl-tempered. Early in the morning the
animal was officially installed in the
ZOO" with huge grizzly for his COM
panion in captivity. Keeper De vry at
once noted the fact that bruin brought
with him considerable of the uncIeanli-
ness of his former owners and ordered
the attendants to turn the hose on him.
The force of the stream enraged the
bear, which climbed upon the iron rail
surrounding its cell and with single
stroke of its paw broke a thick iron
picket and succeeded in making its es-
