Not That Kind of Animal.

Way back in the mountains of West
Virginia a Presbyterian minister some
time ago fell in with some people who
seemed to be well fitted for the mie-
sionary efforts on which he was bent
He had been riding nearly all day and
late in the afternoon came upon a
cabin set in the midst of a woodland.
Near the door was a spare. straight
haired woman. who gazed at him curl
ously. The minister spoke to her
courteously and made some inquiries
regarding the n~eighborhood. Her hus-
band was a hunter, the woman said.
And is he a God-fearing man." asked
the preacher. II reckon So" came the
slow reply, "'cause he always takes
his gun with him." The visitor has
thy changed the subject and inquired
II there were any Presbyterians in the
neighborhood. II dunno" said the
woman, simply. but there's a lot of
skins hanging up in the cabin; you can

Nordenskiold found that the white
bears generally went through a long
performance OF stalking his sailors,
clearly on the mistaken conclusion
that they were seals. AS the men
We're clothed partly in sealskin, it was
a very natural mistake. But the in
terest of the story lies in the generali-
cation made by the bear. The bear
said: There are two or three seals.
one standing up on its tlippers in a
very unusual way. | will therefore
stalk them unseen as long as / can and
when they see me pretend to be doing
something else" So the men, with
their guns and ~lances, who wanted to
shoot the bear. had the pleasure of
seeing him carefully crawling behind
rocks and ice hummoCks, making long
dotours this way and that. and every
now and then clambering up a rock
and pc pirg caut GUS y over to see If
the seals had gone. On the open snow
the bear would sgunter eff in another
direction. and thCn, falling fiat, push
himself along on his belly with his
great front paws c.v5riug his black

TURKEY DINNER FOR
INMATES OF PRISON.

N. X. Boswell, lessee of the peniten-
tiary at Rawlins, says the men in the
new institution had a nice Christmas
dinner yesterday, with turkey and fix
ings, and seemed to enjoy it. They
are getting along fairly well in their
new home, there being now 1856 in that
prison.
There has been no permanent selec-
ton of a prison physician, a railroad
surgeon having been called in tenn
porarily to treat some Of the men who
are ailing. A chaplain has not been
named, and will not be for the pres
ent.
Mr.. Boswell has asked The Republi-
can to extend his thanks to the sher.
IFS Of the different counties Of the
state, and especially to sherif Peter
Swanson of sweetwaterl county. The
sherifs were asked by the state board
of charities and reform to assist the
lessee and warden In getting the men
transferred, and Mr.. Swanson came
and stayed till the end, his services
and advice being Of great help to the
prison oficials.

Two false fire alatms were sounded
early Wednesday morning, to which
the fire department responded with
alacrity, three men dragging the heavy
hose cart from the hose house of com.
pany No. 4 to the corner of Second
and Grand ven before it was found
that the alarms were false.
The members Of company No. 3 were
having their annual ball at the Maen,
nerchor hall at the time, and they
turned out in full force, leaving their
guests i'll the hall.
The engine was soon under steam,
and while it waited for the arrival of
a team, which of curse required sew
eral minutes, it vas found there was
no fire.
Just as the companies returned to
their horses, and before the alarm
machinery at the city hall had beer
rewound, a second alarm came i'll over
the same wire. The members of the
department remained about their APP
paratus, but no fire showed up and
they finally went their way.
Both alarms came from hose house
No. 2. The glass In the alarm box
had been broken, showing that the
alarm IA Intentional. The second
alarm rang the bell at the engine
house from the same box.
Mayor Spicer has received the sug.
gestion that he offer a reward for the
perpetrator of this deed and try to
apprehend him. The members of the
department are always willing to do
their full duty at all times, but willful
false alarms are very annoying, they
say. besides costing the city consider
able money for teams and fuel in fir
ing the engine. The three men who
dragged the No. 4 CART up the Mill
were almost exhausted when they
reached the city.
The city marshal and members of
the department are at a loss as to the
identity of the sender of the false
alarm, but will make an effort to find
him, and if they do so, they promise
him as vigorous a prosecution as they
can give, and are assured of the hear
ty cooperation of the police judge.
