In the Methodist church we had serv-
ice morning and evening. There was
a Presbyterian church in the village,
and the pastor from another villa ge
supplied it, preaching there once q

hear him one afternoon. He was a col
lege bred man and was supposed to be
away up. When he spied me in the
congregation, he came down and asked
me to assist in the opening exercises.
When we were seated, he asked me to
read the first lesson and at the same
time announced that il was a certain
chapter in the book of Numbers. Just
before l was to read l reached up to
the desk and took down the Bible and
opened at the place. L glanced down
over the chapter and saw that it was

knew that he was working a joke on
me. He knew that I could not get

Trapned the Trapper.

In Sketches of. Life In the Golden
STATE" Colonel Albert S. Evans mar
rates the rash exploit of an over
sanguine bear hunter:
A venturesome Yankee came to San
ia Barbara some years ago and soon
became an adept at throwing the lasso.
Hearing the Mexican cowboys talk Of
lassOing the grizzly bear, he decided
to show them what he could do in that
line if he ever got Il chance.
One day he came upon a grizzly in
a favorable locality. He threw the
lasso with skillful aim and refined back
his trembling horse to give the bear
an astonisher, when the reata-whicE
is always attached to the pommel OF
the saddle-came up taut.
Judge of the mans establishment
when that bear quietly assumed sit
ting posture, took hold of the lasso
and began to draw it in hand ovez
hand!
The haplesS descendant of the pill
grim fathers stuck to the horse and
saddle until he saw the slack all drawn
in and the bear and the horse coming
rapidly together. Then, in a panic,
he descended and ran for a tree, aban-
dOning the horse to its fate.
Two skillful men, operating from op-
posite sides, can master n bear and
choke him between them, but with
only one man, one horse and one bear,
it is another story.

Cromwell Wa. a Ruthless victor.

We must remember always that IN
der Cromwell there was no burning ut
the stake, no dreadful torture in cold
blood, and therefore at his worst he
rises in degree above Philip and Alva.
But in kind his deeds in Ireland We're
the same as theirs in the Netherlands.
and, though the Puritan soldiers were
guiltless OF the hideous Righteousness
shown by the Spaniards or by the
armies of Tilly and Wallenstein, yet
the merciless butchery of the entire
garrisons and of all the priests-ac-
companied by the slaughter of other
nOncombatants in at least some cases
leave Drogheda and Wexford as black
acter.
Cromwell and his lieutenants put
down the Instruction and established
order because they gained such sweep
ing victories, not because Cromwell
made mercileSs use OF his first victo-
ries. 1t was the fighting of the Puri-
tans in the battle itself which won
and not their ferocity after the battle,
and 1t was Cromwell who not merely
gave free rein to this ferocity, but in
spired it. Seemingly quarter would have
been freely given had it not been for
his commands. Neither in morals nor
in policy were these slaughters iusti-
fable. Moreover, it must be remem-
bered that the men slaughtered wer6
entirely guiltless of the original mas

and away sped the man with. the loaf
while the string reeled of behind him.
He caught the car all right, and. a.
though the conductor and some OF the
passengers noticed rs he sat down
close TO the door that the Irvine paid
itself out as the car rolled along, the
man did not discover the tangle until
he aliShted. In the meantime the con-
ductor was having a good time. As
passengers stepped on the platform he
cautioned them not to walk on that
string, and they did not.
1t might have looked mysterious to
the people who saw the string moving
along the street. for the unraveling
continued until the bakery Irvine bob
bin had been nearly emptied by the
connected loaf mile away. The man
with the bread felt a tug at his loaf as
he stepped down from the car. Then
he followed up the cord, winding as he
went.
He was one of those strictly honest
men who want nothing that does not
belong to them, and the best part of
the story Is that he followed the string
back. winding as he walked, and in
due time entered the bakery and re-
stored the ball Of Irvine.
