A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
An Amusing AnecdOte of an Ambi-
tIOus Hunter and His First
Grizzly.

In Sketches of Life in the Golden
State Col. Albert S. Evans tells an
amusing anecdote of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
in procession. The incident occurred in
the woods near the site of the present
town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of a tree, and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke it was near
sunset, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating return to his hotel
several miles distant.
Just then rustling and cracking
noise from clump of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked a grizzly bear, a monarch
of his kind. He yawned, licked his
jaws, and then advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat, but evident
ly was unconscious of his presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 20 PAGES when female bear fol-
lowed him, and an instant later third
grizzly followed her at a slow, sham
bling pace.
The hunter sat spel1bound with ter
ror as the procession came toward
him, until the forward grizzly was
within 80 yards. Then, scarcely real
izing what he did, he sprang to his feet
and uttered frenzied yelI-yeu upon
yell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air, turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over her, gathered him
self up and bolted like 40 carloads
of rock going down chute" straight
for the chaparral again, the other two
bears close at his heels, and never turn
| ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fed
at top speed for the hotel, leaving hat
and gun behind. The truth of his wild
and startling tale was proved the next
day by the numerous bear-tracks of
different sizes found in the marsny
ground near by. But the three bears
had gone off beyond pursuit.

Two Anecdotes That Go to Prove
There Is Nothing New Under
the Sun.

''Is there any new joke under the
sun?'' asks George Augustus Sala, an
English journalist and special CORE
spondent, who died few years ago.
81 doubt there being one, very
gravely," he answers, and tells two
anecdotes to support his slkepticism-
An intelligent Greek, who acted as
Mr.. Sala's guide while visiting Athens,
related to him, as a modern Greek Joe
MiIlerism, the story of lawsuit. A
deaf plaintiff sued a deafer defendant
before the deafest judge in all Greece.
The plaintiff claimed SO many hun
dred drachmas for rent shat was due.
The defendant pleaded that he never
ground his corn at night. The judge,
in giving judgment, observed: 'Well,
she's your mother, after all; ysu must
keep her between you
''When I got home 1 found writes
Mr.. Sala, this apparently up-to-date
triad of ludicrous non sequiturs in a
collection of ancient Greek epigrams."
There used to be told a story Of
Sheridan Knowles, the dramatist, who
was a first-rate hand at Irish bulls,
meeting one of twin brothers, and ask
ing him: (Which of ye is the other?''
Mr.. Sala compares this with the story
of that very ancient jester, Hierocles:
''Of twins, one died; Skolastikos,
meeting the survivor, asked him: Was
it you who died, or your brother?'

Among the Railroads.

II what the Asheville correspondent OF
the Charlotte Observer prints in the fol-
lowing is correct, the Corporation Com
mission ought to take action. At any
rate the lives of the public call for an
examinatio of the statements MADE. Inc
correspondent writes:
"The three or four wrecks that have
occurred lately on the Asheville division
Of the Southern have again been produc-
tive of talk to the effect that the engines
are not being cared for properly by the
men who took the places of the striking
machinists 1t is said that the wreck OF
the passenger train near Marshall Satuf-
day morning was due to badly kept en-
CINE, and that the regular engineer refus-
ed to take the engine out. The manager
of the striking machinists at Knoxville
declares this to be true. number OF
things have occurred recently which would
seem to establish the truthfulness OF
these assertions on the part of the strlk-
ers, incidents that have never found their
way into print. For instance, railroad
man said yesterday: i was at Newton
Saturday when passenger train No. 80
came along / noticed that there was no
headlight and on asking for the reason,
was told that the engine would not steam
properly, and that the supply was so ex-
hausted that the electric light could not
be used for the lack of power. 1t was
moonlight night, otherwise 1T would have
been dangerous to run in that way. One
morning last week a passenger train was
going east near Bridgewater, when the
engine got out of running order The
flagman had to make good time to pre-
vent serious trouble because train load
ed with ballast was right behind US We
called to the passengers to clear out of
the cars. and you ought to have seen
them move. Some went through the win
dows and others jumped from the plat
forms without looking to see where they
would land They did not stop running
until they got UP on the side of the
hill. But the work train was stopped be-
fore it got to us. All the engineers feel
