John Bone. the I'm III oral.

John Bone lives in Texas. He deserves
the title: he has earned it. He has be IN
repeatedly shot dead in his tracks by
Infatuated robs. Wild Tnjun tribes
have alternately tortured him to death,
dubbed the life out of him and trans
fixed him with poisoned arrows. He has
been hung as horse-thief; fatally In
jured by the explosion OF a kerosene
lamp; stung to death by rattlesnakes;
crushed to jelly by bears; Immature
drug clerks have, by mistake. admins
tered all sorts OF deadly poisons to
him, which have repeatedly proved fatal
in their effects; he has been MORALLY
wounded in six railroad collisions; and
twelve lightning-road and book agents
have as many times talked him to
death. And now the sheriff is after

The Georgia Historical Society must
be profoundly solemn body If they
failed to roar at the following story,
which was read to them the other day
by Capt w. W. Paine:
Morgan Gillis was hunter of some
renown, and bold and powerful man.
One day, hunting in the piney woods,
he killed fine buck, and while en-
gageu in skining it, he discovered sew
eral Indians creeping toward him.
There was no time to deliberate or
tarry. Springing to his feet and leav-
ing his rife and venison behind, he
ran for life, and reached the swamp,
where he noticed a large poplar, which
had been broken off near its top, and
had the appearance Of being hollow. A
knarled or ragged hickory which rest
ed against this enabled him to easily
climb to the tree, when, to his great
joy, he found it hollow, with an open
ing in the top sufficient for him to en-
ter. He entered it, and sliding to the
bottom, found it tenanted with two fat
cubs, and at once discovered that he
was in the den of the bear, which, fortu-
nately for him, was not at home. Abou.
three feet from the bottom of the den
was a small knot-hole, from which Gill
lis saw the Indians approaching, and
who seemed so much puzzled at not
finding him, after hunting around, dis
appeared, snpposing that ellis had es-
capped to the river. Waiting for some
time, and the Indians not reappearing,
ellis thought it time to leave his hid
ing place, and, attempting to do so,
found to his dismay that he could not
climb out, and that he was entombed
in the wooden walls of a tree. Our
friend was not the first man, nor the
last, who had gotten into scrape and
found it difficult to get ont. ellis
could not perish with hunger for some
days, for he could eat the cubs; but
he might perish for water. Having his
large hunting knife with him, he COM
menced trying to cut way out of
the hollow tree, and while thus engaged
he heard, as he supposed, some one
climbing on the outside of the tree. He
thought of the Indians. and gave him
self up as lost. Soon the aperture at
the top of the tree was darkened, and
an object commenced descending, and
horror of horrors! 1t was the old bear

MITCHEIIL1S BAY, Ont, June 30.
Mr.. Editor-Now for that bass. Mr..
Mac, 1.-THE punter). row slowly along
that bar to our right, and my friend,
cast your bait over it. Very well done
for new beginner. You have got out
about fifty feet of line, but your bait
sinks. No bite? Well, reel in slowly
for another cast. Cast now to the
right again All, what's that? some
thing has struck your bait; don't pull
1t away from him. Let him. tumble
with it little. Now strike him gently,
not hard. but just enough to set the
hook, and let him know that somebody
has got hold OF your end OF the line.
Commence to reel in and find out what
he is. All, there he goes with rush,
and the line cuts the water with swurl.
That's a small mouth bass, sure, no
pickerel blood in him. What are you
clinging to the handle OF the reel for?
Drop it quick or something Will break
Place you thumb upon the spool and
make the pulling hard for him. The
hard pulling tells on him and he turns
back. Now, reel him in while he Is set
ting his breath. T ere he goes way off
to the left; let him run but keep
tight line on him with vour thumb and
be quick with your reel when he runs in.
Your line suddenly rises toward the
surface of the water BE careful now,
he is going to jump. There, he breaks
the water seventy feet away and filings
himself high into the air. and shakes
himself to get free from the hook. BY
Joye, he's a beauty, and we must save
him. This is a critical moment; if the
line Stacks while he is in the air he
will probably throw the hook from
his mouth like a flash and flop his tail
at you as he goes down and away, but
we will spoil that game. The moment
he breaks the water, with a quick turn
of the wrist bring the tip of the rod

STOOD UP FOR MISSOURI.
But Found f, Expensive to Be Taken
for n Millionaire.

Missouri is great among the nations pc
cause Of her many bright sons. Cfher
States may beat her on science, poetry ana
song, bu: few have men OF mighty nerve
like the imperial old State Of the middle
west, declares an sdmiring chronicler in
the Macon Republican. Ex-Sheriff A }.
Glenn return to Macon recently from Hot
Springs, Ark, whittier he had been in
quest OF relaxation and something TO
drink that would beat Colonel "lige
Harp's tcnics. On the morning after MS
arrival his stock Of scent Missouri filters
having run out. he stepped into a gorgeous
esta bli.hmeat and asked the price of some
HayansS.
Twenty-Five ard thirty cents" re-
sponded the affaRe clerk, without dis
placing an eyelash.
During election times in Missouri Glenn
sometimes went as high as ten cents when
he wanted to do the right thing. but gen
orally got fver. But he didn't let on.
He looked critically at the two brands
handed out for his inspection. as II decid-
ing upon a couple of boxes of the 3o-cent
kind, and then said:
Have you any good cigars?'
why, these are good" said the clerk.
And only 80 cents apiece?" asked the
Missourian. why, up in Missouri only
the kids smoke these cigars. Now. II you
have any imported goods that you could
retail at 50 or 70 cents straight and they
are a pretty fair article. l might get a
couple Of dozen on trial, but these cheap
goods make me sick"
The story went around that Missouri
millionaire had come to town. and every
where Glenn went ne could not fail 10
observe the awe his appearance created.
1t was nice, and he enjoyed II. In the
evening he stepped into a large hotel 70

was a heavy one, but the kid did the work
all right When it was through Glenn

dozen pairs of eyes were directed at the
Missourian. All wanted to see whether he
was the real thing or not, and the Macon
man knew It, He put up the rs cents just
like a man who had as much more IN his
pocket. 1t was pretty hard to do but
something had to be done to hold UP Mis-
souri, A few minutes after he edged
around to the hotel clerk and said:

The Old Racket.

IL think I have had the confidence
game played on me- he said to the police
man at the Fall River depot in Boston
the other day.
We'll, 1 shouldn't wonder" replied the
officer after looking him over. Its mighty
funny that you hayseeds can't learn the
lesson. How were you confidenced?'
"A Teller came up to me on the street
and wanted to sell me a gold watch
.'Of course-the usual game"
He wanted to raise money to go home
to his dying wife"
THE old racket"
He took me to a saloon for a talk. He
wanted my sympathy, and he wanted me
to give me his confidence"
And of course you VENT" sarcastically
queried the officer.
well. yes. 1 wanted to hear his story,
YOU know and I always do sympathize
with a person in trouble. His was a sad
case
II suppose So When his story was told,
YOU gave him s25 for a IS watch. 1 pre-
sume?"
NO. not exactly. He said the watch
was worth $50. and I gave him IS for it.,
Here it is"
The man handed over a time keeper
which the officer knew must be worth the
full price mentioned, and it was with a
puzzled air that he turned it over and
over and finally said:
III you only lent IS on this. how were
you confidenced? / think l would have
lent him three times as much"
"why, the man never choked up or shed
a tear when he was talking about his dy-
ipo and he hadn't been five
minutes when it struck me that 1t was his
mother-n-law who was going to pass in
her checks and he had deceived me.
The officer returned the watch and look
ed at the man a long time before he quiet
ly said:

dozen years, but the quality of hayseed
seems to have changed

How n Fish Grows.

About three months ago I saw an ac-
count of a bass. caught by a very inno-
cent person ore John Smith. which
weighed So pounds. In one week that
same fisherman was said to hav: caught
a bass weighing 50 pounds. Three
weeks afterwards a western paper made
that fish grow to 1856 pounds, and now
it comes to us from California weigh
ing 5S1 pounds. A bass will increase
then, in ninety days. exactly 437
