Ambition has stood in the way of
many mans success.
About the easiest thing to get in this
world is that which we don't want.
Some people are so independent they
don't think other people have any
rights.
Now if somebody will give us horse
less hippodrome, we'll be pretty near
the limit.
There may be reason in all things.
but sometimes the search for it proves
fruitless.
The advance of civilization and in
vention has supplanted the handmaid
of yore with the deft-fingered machine
maid of the present.

bear just trailed along the oil run,
and after few yards of that he
would smell like n refinery, not like
the sly, marauding, old pig-stealing
bear he really is. He may be mighty
cunning bear, but after he has exper-
imented couple of times with your
Uncle Jabez' intellect he'll repent of
stealing them pigs.
$50 the next day started out with
two of my well-trained dogs instead
of one. The first dog I let take up
the trail to the oil run. Then | started
dog number two on the trail after 1t
left the run. After the dog got on to
the fact that it was willy old bear,
and not an oil barrel, he was expected
to run down, he went along at fast
clip. l was actually sorry for the
bear.
Petroleum bears may fool the or
binary run of hunters l says to my.
self, but this benighted bear will
soon realize Uncle Jabez is on his
track. An easy death is the best that
poor old bear can hope for
"'But i didn't need to be wasting
sympathy on that bear. l needed 1t
all for myself. That bear understood
wildcat nature as well as he did the
use of oil runs. The minute Mr.. Bear
realized those dogs had caught his
trail again he made tracks right for
hole where n mother wildcat and a
couple of her kittens lived. The bear
ran right up to the mouth of the hole
and then swcrved to one side. This
routed out the mother wildcat, and
when my dogs reached the hole she
was right on hand and looking for
trouble in big punches. A wildcat
with a litter of young ones amt the
sweetest-tempered pet in the world,
Ny dogs were after bear, but Mrs.
Wildcat thought it was her precious
kittens the dogs were looking for, and
the second the dogs got near out she
rushed. A mother wildcat is the
fighting limit for anything near her
weight. ! didn't want to see my two
valued bear dogs all torn up. and, not
daring to shoot at the mixed-up bun
die, sailed in with club. That's
why am wearing the top Of my
head decorated with bandages and
carrying my right arm in sling. The
dogs and killed the wildcat. bu,
when we got through it was hospi-
tai and tender nursing, not big
black bear, that we were looking for.
"'When I got home kept a-think-
ing to myself about the way that old
bear had played it on me. 1t was by
using his brains when was bungling
ahead with dog and gun that en-
abled him to beat me. If I brought
my own top piece into action ! ought
10 get ahead of bear. even II he
was the siyest old codger that ever
meandered around the hills Of Pike

man is rarely one thing without being

must have tact as well as push.
"The reformer who sets out to be
a boss is likely to be too dictatorial.
He spells his particular brand of re-

pleasant in less important things.
Often reformer who is temporarily
put in place of a boss is regularly at
the head of some large business,

realize that in politics it is necessary
to at least pretend to pay attention

CRANKS ON LIFE SAVING.

There are cranks of every descrip-
ton, and many Of them come here to
show us their Inventions" recently re-
marked the general superintendent of

adopted, they insist, will put the life

callen on General Superintendent
Kimball, and asked permission to
don his newly invented life-saving
jacket. for the purpose of demon
strating its many good features.
The permission was granted and
the visitor proceeded to put on
the jacket, which he claimed was the
only salvation of all shipwrecked peo-
pie, says the Washington Times.
In the numerous pockets of the gar
ment he had slowed away q whisky

candle and matches, pipe and to-
bacco, a revolver and number of cart

voirs concealed between the outer and
inner cover of the jacket, which caused
him to assume the appearance of q
huge rubber ball. After he had fin
ished these preparations he tied his
large red handkerchief to bamboo
fishing rod as a signal of distress. and

self-satisfied manner:

their advice must be at least asked
before any important step is taken.
In Cook county, for instance, each Of
the big parties has six or eight asso-
ciate bosses, but in each case there is
one among them who can, on show
down, deliver more delegates than any
of the others. He is the boss.
"Next in rank below the boss, in a
city like Chicago, stands the class of
men known as go-betweens. The du-
ties of the go-between are many. In
the first place. he is supposed to dress
well in a somewhat flashy style. He
is obliged to attend all the voting con-
tests, raffies, funerals and fairs in his
ward or district, and to be on terms
of intimate personal acquaintance
with every saloon keeper in his terri
tory. He acts as the eyes and ears of
the boss on the ground. He is always
full of tips, which he gives out as
coming straight from the powers that
be. He predicts that certain action
will be taken, and then carefully OBJ
serves in what spirit the news is re-
ceived in his district. If strong oppo-
sition is developed he carries the in
formation back to the boss, who thus
has a chance to change his policy
without appearing to do so.

victories, at any rate, and the reform
ers may get few ideas from the
analysis which will be useful when
they go to organize their next cam
paign.
''In the first place, a reform or any
other political movement has got to
have boss, call him by what name
you choose. Right here is where the
reformers usually fall down. They
choose boss, or leader, if you pre-
fer that name, on the spur of the mo-
ment, and they rarely get the right
man. Now, in one of the regular ma
chimes no man gets to be boss except
as the result of a long and more or
less painful evolution. He works his
way up, as usual thing, and when
he is admitted to be the boss every
cog in the machine knows all about
him.
