LASSOING BEARS.

\ large number of bears have been driven out of the san Francisco noun tainS ill northeastern Arizona by the cold, and have migrated south into the hills and canOnS around Blue ~river, attOrding sport for the cowboys of that section. The maneuverS of herd of lOO bears were watched from a peak overlooking Blue river d few days ago by ;L posse of well known COW boys. composed of NelS Lilson, Rawley West, "Euck' Davis and several others. Shortly before coming upon the herd they had encountered a bunch of five bears and killed four, but the other es- capped after a chase. Their ammuni- tion was spent on the fourth bear and the vacquerOs started out to rope" the fifth.
 The roping of heaE mountain lion and even deer is a faTOrite paStimc of the Arizona cowboy. and at the same time affords q test Of his accuracy with the rope and the speed and ac- tivity of his horse. He seldom miss eS a "throW' when the animal iS within range. but in the roping of q bear not only must the cowboy be sue cesSful i'll placing the moose about the bears neck but he must draw it taut Ut lOIt tue VI IlN LII lilt >llCht> IL oil
 On this occasion the boys followed their quarry through mesquite shrub bcry. and several times when it ap pared on an open they tossed the lasso about the animals neck. The bear as frequently stopped, obtained a little slack and neatly threw off the moose with his paw. The cowboys suffered the disgrace of losing their animal, three lariatS and their temper but they returned to Stafford. a small commit nifty in the mountains. with four skins and q wonderfu account of herd of Arizona bears. Cowboys from the surrounding hills are contemplating a rcdea and are gathering for q big bear hunt. Little ammunition will be talk on along. for thn cowboy, as a rule who StOOps to shoot a bear is regarder as no better than the hunter who revels in pot shoCts,' and the yacquero who returns without having successfully roDed several bears will be in dis grace.-San Francisco Bulletin.

LABOR CONFERENCE CLOSED.
General Opposition shown Toward
 Compulsory Arbit-ation.

.3F F
 Compulsory Arbit-ation.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The conference on arbitration and conciliation, which passed into industrial history with its adjournment last night, was enlivened during the day by a debate between Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation Of Labor, and Hugh H. Iusk, cX-member of parliament of New Zealand. The venerable New Zealander during the forenoon turned aside from his prepared address to express displeas- urc at declaration made by Nr. Comp CTS in his address Monday night. The labor leader on the occasion mentioned asserted that he wanted to sec labor or ganizatons retain the privilege of strik- ing when they pleased. why they pleased or merely because they pleased.
 That is not liberty. cried Mr. Lusk. Tt is licensc.''
 At this moment Mr. GomDerS entered. The speaker proceeded:
 MT. GOmpGrS wants conclllatlOn, and he says you can never have any con ciliation unless you are ready tu cut one another's athroatS. Well, if that is the unfortunate condition of the people of America 1 am sorry for thCH. We arc not so anxious to cut one another's $ throats where l came from. l wish Mr. Gompers had taken the trouble to find out W.tll our com nuiSOIy dIDAltalipl luN is before be told you about it, but as he has not I am obliged to do il for him
 During the afternoon Ar. Gompers secured the stage and reiterated his as .sertions of the night previous.
 We do not" he said, "clutch each others throats unnecessarily but 1 would rather have the right to clutch at a mans throat than to have my arms amputated. The compulsory labor law is equivalent to the amputation referred to. l want labor to have the strength of . giant. but to use that strength gently
 Following this two speeches were sand wched in, and then Mr. Lusk again sr- cured the floor. He explained at length the workings of the arbitration court of New Zealand, generally talking straight at the labor president.
 You'd cut my arms off in your coun- try said MT. Gompers, speaking from his seat.
 If you were good, we wouldn't am putate your alms,' replied the New Zealandcr, but we might enlarge your head
 A lively exchange of questions and an swers which hewldered the audience fol lowed. Mir. Lusk explained that ,during the hearing of a dispute between employ CT and his employees neither side could under penalty change the conditions which caused the appeal to the arbitra- tion court. The hearing, during which neither side had the right to independ- ent action, generally lasted about a month.
 I'd rather be at swords points in America, an independent, than to sur render my right to strike for one min ute.' shouted Mir. Gompers. And with that he left the hail.
 Aside from the Skirmishes between these two men. and they took up con siderable time, there were numerous speeches fav9ring voluntary arbitration. Even Mir. Lusk declared that Americ.l was not ready for compulsory arbitra- tion.

LAME LAD CURED.
Louis Gallagher Walks in Church Pro
 cession to Attest Miracle.

Louis Gallagher Walks ill Church Pro
 cession to Attest a Miracle. In the monthly pilgrimage to the grotto in the church of Our Lady Of Lourdes, in Brooklyn, N. Y., Sunday, says the New York Herald, a 12-year- old lad walked with q radiant face, holding ill one hand a pair of crutches and in the other a steel leg brace, which the doctors of the Nanderbil clinic had told him he must wear for the next six years. He had Jolned the procession to attest d miraculous cure of a malady that had threatened to cripple him for life.
 The boy was Louis Gallagher. the son of Edward Gallagher. d horse shoer, of No 113 North Ellicott place, Brooklyn. About three years ago he developed hip disease. which produced a lamtnesS that steadily grew worse. His parents took him to Brooklyn phy- sicians without Lettering his condition. and four months ago they took him to New York. to the Vanderbilt clinic at No 1J Amsterdam avenue.
 X steel brace was then fastened on the boys leg. The physicians of the clinic said that he would Dc able to take it off when he was IS years old. hut might never be permanently cured from lameness.
 Some months aftorward ATr and Mrs Galla gher met the Rev Father Eugene pOrcile. rector of the Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of LourdeS. and he urged them to rely on their faith for q cure of their sons malady. They decided to do so. and On the third Sun day of last month walked Louis in the monthly pilgrimage about the church.
 Tine lad hobbled between his par entS. leaning on his crutcheS and wear ing his brace. At the shrine to Our Lady of I-ourdcS. which is located be hind the main altar. and is q replica of the grottO at LourdGs in France, all three knolt and they prayed fervently for a cure.
 There was scarcely any improve mont in the boys condition. however. till Father Porcile suggested that the parents take home some of the IOurdeS water from the church and apply it on the lame leg. They did this on De ccmhcr G. The next day. on the even ing Uf-thr Feast f the Immaculate Con- ceptiOn. Mrs Gallagher says she felt sure that a cure was about to be per formed. She prayed earnestly and the day following" day of the feast - ske took off the brace. Her boy could walk.
 sunday he marched just behind athor Porcile and followed hy T pro ccssion of the Sodalities and the Holy Name society. while the parents fol- lowed him with their tear-dimmcd eyes. He is entirely cured. save, for q scarcely percoptible limp. and they "c licve that that will vanish also. Rec tor. parents. the boy and the parishion- CTS regard it as q signally miraculous cure.

THOUGHT THEM PAJAMAS.

In the window of Main street clothing store is on exhibition q Chi nesp soldiers uniform. The uniform, with it's gaudy colors and strange cut attracts much attention and causes much comment. .5-s..s.s
 This morning a middle aged woman went into the store and, after looking over the stock of neckwear, handker- chiefs. muffiers and smoking jackets, without finding anything that seemed just what she wanted, centided to the clerk that she was in quest of q Christ mas present for her. husbands
 The clerk suggested that she take a walk around the store and perhaps she might discover just what she wanted. She did so. and it was not many minutes before her eyes lighted up at the sight of the aforesaid Orien- tai uniform fh the window. That's s just what I want" she calculated. sMy husband has always said that he would like to have pair of pajamas. and I know that. those in the window will please him.
 She was q very much disappointed woman when the clerk explained her mistake to her. Danbury News.
