volyed in the seizures of German vessels by

await the sentence of the prize court before we
object thereto"
II is learned tonight that the German Gov
ernment will forbid the export by the krupps
of steel shrapnels for England.

Hard Fight with a Bear.

Near Kylortown, Penn, in the AL.
leghanies, William Mason, better
known as "Hunter Bill" was out
shooting and in rather dense part OF
the mountain he was suddenly con-
fronted by O monster black bear. Ma
son immedi fhsed his rifle, but the
bullet lodgsdsih'5 the bears shoulder.
Enraged by pain, bruin, before the
hunter had time to replace the empty
shell with loaded one rushed upon
| the man.
Mason dubbed his gun, but was un.
able to stop the animals rushes. His
gun was knocked from his grasp, and
he had only his keen hunting knife to
rely upon to save himself from death.
With the knife he slashed whenever
the bear got within reach. Mason was
almost naked and covered with wounds
aud blood, and the bear was red with
blood from gaping wounds. Just
when Mason believed he would have
to succumb he noticed that bruin was
also weakening from the loss of blood.
Taking heart once again, he steadied
himself in time to receive the bear in
another rush. Springing quickly to
one side, Mason plunged his knife in
the BEARS side just back of the shoul.

enemy. 1t would have been just
twenty miles more of muddy road.
The dispatch was important and
haste necessary, 30 decided to move
straight on.
We had hardly reached the open
valley when a small cloud Of smoke
from the northern fort of Plevna told
me that we had been seen and were
now q target for the Turkish guns.
A short command from me brought
my men into line, so that the enemy
had only one man to aim at. We
were moving at full speed toward the
protecting timber on the other side.
Tho first shell fell short; the second
burst fully thousand yards behind
us; the third was "dead," and passed
fifty feet in front of us.
We were almost III the shade of the
tall pines when Iheard terrific crash
and lost my senses. I awoke very
soon, with stinging pain in my head.
A man 10y right over me. He was
unbuttoning my uniform. The
thought of "war hyena" flashed
through my mind. Cautiously
opened one eye-just enough to see
who my assailant was. To my aston.
ishment l saw it was one of my own
men.
He had noticed my movement, and
whispered: keep still; we are the
only survivors"
"But, man," said I, stake the dis.
patch and get into safety"
"No," he whispered, "I shall cover
your body with mine till help comes.
The Turks will fire again as soon as
they see one of us move. You re-
member the time you saved me from
the burning house of Michael Kubar-
kinP Now is my turn to show that L
have not forgotten that I owe my life
to you"
A few minutes later came a little
troop from the timber, with the flag
of the Red Gross. Eleven men were
buried on the spot, and was taken
back on stretcher, having lost one
eye and suffering from broken jaw.
While the dead were being buried
and the first bandages being put on
me my brave soldier had disapp cared,
and one of the horses of the Red Cross
command was missing.
When 1 was discharged from the
hospital I recognized in the sergeant
of my regiment, who was the first to

sportsmen are every year visiting us

men, and latterly women, too, kill
their three to eight deer each, but
their bags do not appreciably dlmin-
ish the size of the herds. And what
they kill is only tithe of the number
destroyed by the settlers. Although
this killing has continued for years,
the best authorities say the caribou
are day as numerous as ever, for
the area over which they range undis-
turbed is as large as Ireland, they be-
ing only got at from the rivers or
along the railway line, which cuts
through the heart of the country, but
has no spur roads to quarter up the
territory. Therefore the deer are
practically safe from molestation when
they are few miles back from the

themselves and shoot down the grace.

WISE WORDS.

Learning unapplied is like seed put
away to decay slowly on the shelf of
Incidence.
All man has to do to obtain So
called social success is to put fair
value on himself and live up to it.
Suspicion is the attribute of weak
nature. Respect all you meet till you
have cause to do otherwise, and then
avoid; do not condemn.
Humor is the electric light in the
halls of literature. Wit is the flash
light, and sarcasm torch darkened
by the smoke of prejudice.
A touch of humor makes one q
keener critic even of his own work.
He that hath the salt may flavor life
stew as he pleases, and humor is the
salt of life.
Great natures gain the sympathy of
the world because we know instructive.
ly that they will follow simple, brave,
direct course. Tt is the small nature
which is unreliable.
To person of force and talent self
repression cannot be too strongly re-
commended. Do not expend yourself
on human brawls and passions; put
your force in your work.
Keep your fire under the pot of life
or literature. Smoke and prejudice
don't improve any diet except to q
diseased taste, while your wisdom
and wit are proved in the chatting dish
of public opinion.
Talking of ghosts, and there are
really many, the ghost of an evil life
is its own better self, haunting the
human house from which he is driven
till the ''black camel" kneels at its
door and men whisper "He has given
up the ghost"
A wong unrepented is always a
weight on our self-respect, but one
atoned for is q height in whose shadow
we may view with broader, nobler
charity, aud more sympathetic tender
ness, the faults of others, extending
them a help untried goodness could
never give.
When you make human being the
recipient of so-called charity, you
destroy his sclf-respect by placing
him in the position of a beggar
whereas if You give him work, and
pay him we'll for doing it, you make
him honor himself as wage Garner
capable of helping others instead
of placing him under humiliating
obligations to yourself.

Science-and the word means

Of qualities, but nothing of matter.
We know Of love and hate and ioy and
fear and right and wrong, but what
do we know of souls? Yet we know
enough of inexorable Nature, and of
danger and duty, to govern fairly our
lives; and what we do not know must
be the object Of constant search. This
search is the highest purpose of sci
ence, OF whatever sort; yet where in
the world, asks Professor Rowland OF

A Brave British General.

General Hector Archibald MacDon.
aid, the new commander of the famous
BLACK Watch" Regiment in the
British Army, is one of the few British
Generals who rose from the ranks.
He entered the army as private in
the Gordon Highlanders in 1879. In
1880 he was with tGs Gordons under
Lord Roberts in the Afghan cam
paign. He soon gained a reputation
for Judgment, GOODNESS and gallantry,
and at tue close of the campaign was
the recipient of commission in his
own regiment. He was with Colley
at Maiuba Hill during the last Boer
war. When the British fled at that
fight Macdonald remained, and when
he nad run out of ammunition he
knocked down two Beers with his
fists. A third was about to cock his
rifle to put an end to the gallant
Highlander when a comrale inter-
posed.
'Don't do tnat," he said. ''This
is brave man. We must spare him.
Take him prisoner"
And this they did.

was said that his dash, combined with
coolness, was responsible at the criti-
cal moment for turning defeat into

Commandante Tobilla, ole of the
leading Spanish officers in the late

little more than his share of vanity.

press, armed with camera, went to
one of the principal forts and began
to photograph it. He was taken in
by Tobilla's men and brought before
the Commandante as captive. He
spoke excellent Spanish and thus ad-
dressed the officer:
"Most Excellent Sir, at last have
found you. have come all the way
from America to take. your picture"
Indeed! Why, my men say you
were taking pictures of foriifcationsl"
"No, indeed; heard of your valor
at Q recent battle, and I made up my
mind that you were hero and my
people ought to know of you"
"But have not my proper uniform
on. Do you really wish to take me?"
Certainly; and after you get your
uniform on, have your men drawn up
in line and massed around you out in
the sunlight, so I can get plenty of
light, and also prove to my people
what excellent soldiers you have in
your DIVISION"

request shall be granted"
In short time the Commandante

man took half dozen camera shots

was the chief object of the visit.
Tobilla saw him off to the next
town with a guard of honor and dis
charged him from custody with
salute, and in the next "copy" he sent
to his paper the correspondent had
the only pictures in existence of some
very important Notifications and the
flower of the Spanish soldiery in
Cuba. But Senior Tobilla does not
mention this incident in his new
book. Saturday Evening Post.
