HE CHASED A GRIZZLY BEAR.
no" sheep Rancher in Arizona
Frightened the Animal out
of Its Wits.

Bears are not the bravest. although
they are among the most dangerous
OF wild beasts. They are sometimes
frightened by very trifling occur
renees. and run with all possible
speed 20 a place Of safety.
a short time ago an Arizona sheen
rancher was riding in the foothills
when he saw a big. awkward silver
tip. He had a rifle, but was not Ger
tain he could kill the bear AT one
shot. and knew that he would get
into trouble If he missed. So he cave
a regular cowboy yell, and the bear
started away in alarm.
The man gave chase. at the SAM
time keeping up the piercing yell. and
he soon noticed that the grizzly was
getting farther away. He continued
the chase for nearly two miles. until
the bear disappeared in the noun
tains and he had not gained foot
In going back along the trail be
noticed places where the bear had
made jumps of IS OF 20 feet. and the
ground had been cut up BY his claws
so that il looked as II a harrow had
been run over il. IT is evident that
a man would have no show rupnip,

TRANSyAAL IN RUSSIA
Large Colony Of Dutchmen Who
Closely Resemble Their KIns-
men I'm south Africa.

An enterprising journalist Of St
Petersburg has just discovered that
there is a large colony of Dutehmer
in Russia. who in all particulars close
~ resemble their kinsmen, the Beers
Of South Africa. The colony was es-
tablished in 1920, saws the New Yori
Herald, and consists at present OF
about 500 persons. It is situated r.
the districts of Brest-Litovsk and Ko.
vel, and thus is partly under the
jurisdiction of the government o.
Grodno and partly under that of ths
government of Volhynia. Ten large
farms cover the territory occupied by
the colonists.
These Dutehmen are called "Hol-
landers" by their Russian neighbors
They are of the same physical type
as the Beers and their mode of life Is
exactly similar. They wear the same
traditional hat; they spend most Of
their spare time reading the Bible
and they are distinguished for their
great honesty and their love Of work
They admire the Russians and hate
the English just as bitterly as tn
Beers hate them. Their houses ar,
built of stone and they have a
abundance of cattle. The men tie
the soil and the women attend to thu
dairy They live frugally. indulciur
in no intoxicating drink except beer
and, as the land is good. they have
never known poverty. In the strue-
giles Of their countrymen in Soutf
Africa they take keen interest and
they are prepared TO give a hearty
welcome TO any of the Beers who
may desire to settle near them.

but could not 60 against orders. Al
New Haven, where a halt was made
the engineer was approached, The
sight of a ten-dollar bin had almost
persuaded him TO slow up at Charter
Oak, when suddenly his manner
changed and there was a curt re-
fusal. We were informed that Mr.
Clark had boarded the train at New
Haven, and quickly went in search a
him. We found him silent and in
clined to be gruff, but stated thu
ease plainly to him.
why don't you see the conductor?
he asked. Il have. but he win no
disobey orders" why not, then, r.
forward and hribe the engineer" ~
trAs bribery at New Haven, but il
