LIVELY ENCOUNTER
To u Fini Between . Big Bear and n
Husky Negro.

Husky Negro.
While at Batesville last week the
writer was told of genuine mix-up
well-to-do colored man living 10 miles
west OF Batesville. near the big ITALIA
hatchie bottom, and 6o0-pound black
bear says tho Atlanta Constitution.
The incident happened on Tuesday Of
last week. The negro's corn field Is
near the bottom, and for two weeks
past several bears had made night WIS.,
It's thereto to partake of the delicious
roasting ears. Brown Is an old bear
hunter, and in his day has killed many
dozens of them. He built scaffold in
the corn field near where the bears
entered, and Monday night, with hia
trusty gun. he took his stand thereon,
ing his corn. Now the thrilling part
comes, and boys who love to read hair
breadth escapes from wild and fero-
cious beasts must prepare to mold their
breath. The bear came on schedule
time and started straight for the ne
gro's shelter. Brown saw that he was
tremendously large one. and tried
to make good his aim. He only sue
ceeded in wounding him badly, how
ever, and the bear ran off to the woods.
Brown called his sons to bring the
dogs and O fresh gun. and room the
dogs had the monster bayed In brush
thicket within the field. The moon
shone brightly, and he could see the
struggle the dogs were having with
the game, SO to make short work of it
he rushed in to get dead shot, when
Bruin turned on him with the ferocity
of a Texas cyclone. The negro was
knocked down. his arm crushed to
splinters, and he was badly bitten and
otherwise used up. Browns Oldest son
saw the predicament of his father and
rushed in, grabbed the rife and ended
Bruins checkered and corn-eating
career on the spot. The bear weighed
nver 600 mounds.

LUCKY PREACHER
Makes . Fortune In Aiming Stocks and

Makes . Fortune in Mining Stocks and
Pays on Church Mortgage.
Shrewd investment in Arizona min
ing properties has raised Rev. Larkin
A. Rockwell. pastor OF the West Pull
man M. e. church. from his position
as q struggling minister on small
salary to a man of affluence. Several
years ago he began buying stock in
the Azurite, Irvine Beauties and other
old mines in Arizona. His investments
turned out so profitably that short
time ago he was able to announce to
his congregation that he himself would
pay off the mortgage OF $4,000 which
rested over the little church where he
presided as pastor. At the same time
he resigned his salary, as he said his
own income was adequate for the sup
port OF his family. Rev. Mr.. Rock
we'll was formerly pastor Of the Sec
ond Methodist church at Englewood.
When he accepted the call to West
Pullman he found that church incum-
bered by a mortgage and the congre-
CATION hardly more than able to keep
up the interest. The mining invest
ments OF Mr.. Rockwell are reputed to
have made him worth $500 900. He is
at present in Arizona looking after
his Investments. He has in view other
charitable dispensations on his return

methods of living, not one woman in
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms Of dan
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just SO many calls from
nature for help. The nerves are cry

PARDONS BY THE PRESIDENT.
the Chief Magistrate Sick
or Well.

One of the duties of the president,
which he does not escape when he
is on summer vacation or confined
to a bed of sickness, is the exercise
of the pardoning power. When, re-
Gently, Mr.. Mckinley was confined to
health and suffering from an attack
of the widely prevalent grip, almost
every public duty was laid aside. The
meetings of the cabinet were aban-
doned; the invitations to receptions
and dinners at the white house were
withdrawn, and callers on official
business were not admitted, says
Youths Companion.
But into the presidents chamber
the attorney general found his way
to get his signature to papers COM
muting the sentence, in at least one
case, of a man who otherwise would
soon have gone to the gallows. The
less urgent pardon cases were al
lowed to await the presidents restor-
alton to health.
1t is upon the attorney general
that the president relies for advice
in this work. About 700 applications
for pardon are considered each year,
and the president could not person
ally examine all the papers in these
cases. In the department of Justice
there is an attorney, popularity
known as "the pardon clerk" who,
with one or two clerical assistants,
devotes himself to the investigation
of all such applications; he reports
the findings of fact, in a condensed
form, to the attorney general, who
decides upon a recommendation
which Is forwarded to the president.
A peculiar case recently came be-
fore the department An Alaskan In
dian, under sentence of death, re-
fused to sign the application for his
own pardon, and the change of his
punishment to Imprisonment for life
was made in spite of him.
1t seems that he was "converted''
at Salvation Army meeting in Skag-
way, and straightway announced, al
though he was under no suspicion
whatever, that some months before
he had murdered two persons. Peo-
pie thought the Indian crazy, but he
insisted upon taking them to an OBJ
scure spot where the evidences of his
guilt were conclusive.
Such case is very rare in the an
nails of the pardoning power.

writes Anna Northend Benjamin, in
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The life of these children would
seem very dreary to us, but they are
quite happy and contented. Many of
them die at an early age because OF

When Farmer Never mind-it found
The winter had fulfilled its spsn,
He hustled out, and hurried round,
And hired his neighbours extra man;
And through the spring till almost May
lie FILTERED half his time away.
He let his broken fences lie
Just where the winds had thrown them
last;
AS for the weeds he wondered why
They got ahead of him so fast;
But, when weed began to show,
He let ii go, and let It grow.
When Farmer Perseverance sowed
His valley-gardens, rich and wide,
He mended fences, weeded, hoed,
With all a sturdy toller's pride;
And, all the growing season through,
He said he found enough to do,
And when upon his well-kcpt farm
A blight would satisfy its greed
He made amends for every HARM
And kept ahead Of every weed;
And, II the weather fouled or cleared,
He persevered, and persevered.
