they clung, but they got grip and
held while Rev. Mr.. Hunter performed
the marriage ceremony from his place
in the third tree. The Texas steer
beloved the wedding march.
When the good man had concluded,
Farmer Stone and his two sons hap
pened along and the steer was driven
away. The bride, bridegroom and min
ister were transferred to wagon and
taken to the brides home, where there
was an evening of rejoicing and gen.
eral merry-naking.
At Ararat two aged sisters have
lived alone in small hut for years.
All of the windows, except one, were
kept barred. How these two women,
now in the sunset of life, lived no one
knew. They rarely asked aid of any
sort, and they chopped their wood and
dragged it home from the forest.
Their dresses seemed to be made of old
meal sacks.
The other day the women applied to
the poor authorities for help. The
poormaster, before granting aid, de-
cided 10 call and see what their circum-
stances were. They found the room
piled full of boxes, ard proceeded to
Investigate. The boxes were found to
contain silyerware, silks, satins,
shawls, bolts of calico and sheeting,
boots, shoes, crockery, sacks of sugar
and salt, etc. Under the stove was
found a wallet containing $3.50 and the
lining of an old dress yielded $3.50.
The entire find is valued at $4,000.
The Widow Hammond, who lives
down on her little farm near COchec-
ton. had a lively experience with big
black bear the other night. Mrs. Ham
mond was awakened by the shrieking
of her porker. Lighting lantern,
Mrs. Hammond seized a hatchet and
hurried to the barn, where she found
bear trying to carry away the hog.
The widow at once attacked the bear
and struck him several times with the
hatchet, but it seemed only TO in
uriate the brute, which, with a blow
with one of its paws, felled the widow
to the ground.
Mrs. Hammond got and rushed to
the house, secured a rife and returned
Ia the barn. The bear had lifted the
hog out of the pen, when the widow
raised her gun and sent bullet into
its brain. The bear fell over dead.
The report of the gun aroused the
neighbors, and, when they arrived
upon the scene the widow was in a
dead faint in the barn. The bear
weighed 272 pounds.

ward-Bride on One Tree, Groom

A Pennsylvania correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean says that odd
stories of the doings of Susquehanna
county women occasionally become
matter of public gossip, and frequent
~ the experiences and actions of these
backwoods bellies, which are as wild
IN their way as the country in which
the women live, make them a matter
of more than passing interest. Take
the case of Miss Emma Swanzer, for
instance:
Miss Swanzer lived near Springville,
and with her STEADY company"
Charles Bangs, went Il BrOoksdale one
recent night to attend the wedding of
mutual friends. During the evening
Miss Emma became jealous of Bangs
attentions TO another girl and refused
10 speak to him. When they started
home they both felt relieved when
Rev. Mr.. Hunter, the village preacher,
joined them.
In a field adjoining the road was a
Texas steer, recent acquisition TO the
place, and no lover of the human race.
The party had to go through the field
in which the steer was and he pursued
them. Bangs gave cry of alarm, and
ran for some trees a few feet ahead,
closely followed by Miss Swanzer and
the preacher. Bangs Skinned up one,
and Miss Swanzer proved her agility
by climbing another, assisted by the
preacher, who gave her a lift before
he sought safety in still another tree.
The infuriated animal ran around and
around the trees. a half-hOur passed
and the steer still stood guard.
Thinking this an excellent time to
reconcile the couple, the minister be-
gan. The work was done, however,
almost before he had begun. The cou-
pie desired to be married at once.
They could just join hands from where

" select a diamond ring and, taking
it in her mouth, turn about and disap-
pear. She repeated this performance,
and the witnesses reported to a pO-
liceman on the corner that a diamond
burglary was being perpetrated.
The policeman looked into the win
dow and when he saw the cat trot away
with another diamond ring he was on
the verge of calling for the patrol
wagon and taking tabby to the sta
tion under arrest.
He notified the proprietor of the
store, who came down and made an
investigation and found that in the
little nest that tabby had arranged
for her kittens under one of the coun-
ters were six or seven rings, pendants
and brooches, all containing fine dia-
mond settings. And now, in the words
of the policeman who caught the cat:
''Tabby is not working down to the
iewl'ry store no more"

jammed up against an elevated rail-
road pillar and the right-hand door
was burst open. Through the door
the occupants were thrown into the
roadway and the driver was thrown
to the street.
With no one to hold the horses,
they started west through Thirty
eighth street with the reins and the
pole of the carriage dragging behind.
Near the Metropolitan opera house
William Sullivan, of 239 West Forty
fifth street, was walking down
Broadway on the east side of the way
with Boozer. The terrier saw what
was wanted. He overhauled the run
aways between Fortieth and Forty
first streets, and with almost human
intelligence grabbed the dragging
rein. He tugged and tugged and at
Forty-frst street he turned the run
aways around the west corner sharp
ly. This slackened their speed, and
n policeman came up and seized the
brides. Boozer trotted back to his
owner. None of the occupants of the
victoria was injured, and the coach
man escaped with a few bruises.
