and make 1t de duty in place of a watch
dog. So he run cut beyond the cub and
picked ii up in his arms. The little
fellow screamed at the top of his voice
and scratched and bit furlously in or
der to get away.
Before Wiswell had cuffed and choked
the cub into subsection there came an
answering roar from the woods, and
the mother bear rushed to the defense.
Wiswen thought and acted quickly.
Placing the cub between his knees and
pinchiHg it until ii squealed with pain,
he took up his rife and waited. The
mother evidently had seen firearms be-
fore, for she waited a moment, stand
ing up on her hind feet and shaking her
head as K undecided how to act. Wis
well gave a harder squeeze with his
knees, and, as the cub made his agony
known by loud bowls, the mother threw
her caution away and rushed on until
rifle ball, hitting her In the mouth,
finished her career.
The Wiswen home Is a small one.
There are two rooms on the first floor,
one of which Wiswelrs unmarried sis
ter occupies as a sleeping apartment.
After the old bears skin had been
treated with alum. salt and red pepper.
to keep out the moths, 1t was spread on
the floor by the side of Miss Wiswellz
bed. One night after the captured cub
had been chained in the barn until 1t
was tame enough to take its food from
the hand, Miss WiSweu found q surprise
awaiting her when she entered her bed
room. In conformity to a custom
which she had followed every night for
20 years, Miss Wis=Tell looked under the
bed 60 see IL there was a man concealed
near the wall. She was greatly shocked
when, instead of the long-expected
man, she saw something big and black
and hairy snufing about on the bear
skin mat. She twice screamed, and
then fell ON the bed in a faint. When
her brother had brought her round
again, and she had told her story, he
made little investigation on his own
| account, pulling out a young bear from
below the bed.

In general terms, it may be said that
no instance has been recorded where
the influence of alcohol upon good
man, when carried to its full extent, has
failed to faint his moral nature. Nor
has an instance ever been known Of a
character so base, so bestial and inhu=
man, that alcohol could not sink it still
lower. alcohol deadens the con-
science of anyone who partakes of it,
let his motives in drinking be what they
may" "a person intoxicated viii COM
NIT offenses in thought, in speech, and
in conduct, which in his sober moods
he would view with adherence. The
tendency of drunkenness is inevitably
toward crime."-D. I. L Wright.

NOTES OF REFORM.

The saloon stays because we are too
lazy to be in earnest.-Ram's Horn.
Lady Henry Somerset is leading a
crusade against smoking by women and
girls.
AS there is no royal road to Inowl-
edge, there is no easy way to work out
a worthy reform.-The New Voice.
A four-year-old girl In Milan, Mich,
has brought suit for $4,000 against a
saloonkeeper and his bondsmen for the
ruin and death of her father.
William A. Giles and Prof. Charles R.
Henderson, of the University of Chi
cage, have in hand the establishment
of what will be known as the Way
farers' Inn, where the needy and de-
serving will not only be given lodging,
but Will be furnished with employment.
The principal aim win be the discour-
agement of unorganized charity.
During the past year there have been
43 murders in San Francisco and 1853
suicides. This is a fearful record and
can largely be traced to the liquor
curse. When man contemplates muir
