And sobbed and moaned with pain
The heavy clouds hung low and dark,

PRINCE HENRY'S VISIT.
A. KassOn, Ex-Minister to the
German Court.

John A. kasson, the only living ex-
minister TO Germany, discussing the
VISIT of Prince Henry to this coun-
try, has said:
The visit is significant in that it
marks a purpose on the part of his
imperial majesty the German en-
Peror to signaIize his friendly feel
ing for the United States.
There is a growing commercial
rivalry between the Americans and
the Germans. They are close COM
petitors in many markets, and it is
a matter of common knowledge that
ill-advised utterances of hasty and
irresponsible writer's and speakers
have at times tended to sharpen this
competition.
BY this visit of Emperor Williams
brother an epoch Of courteous and
amicable endeavOr is inaugurated. 1t
will be impossible hereafter to
charge any animOsity to the German
government on account of the nat
ural striving of the German people to
excel in their commercial enterDrises.
1T has become the custom of gov
ernr-e ents in Europe to mark these
eras If international cOrdiality by
such visits. The compliment intend
ed is not only directed 10 the presi-
dent and his administration, but TO
the whole people of the United
States. There is no doubt that Amer
leans, without regard to party, will
receive this visit in the same ami
cable spirit which made its concep-
tion possible. There is such a large
percentage of the citizenship of this
country of German extraction that
a cordial reception was assured in
any circumstances; but the fact that
the whole people understand the
chivalric intentions of the German
emperor will add to the pleasure and
cOrdiality incident to the entertain
ment of Prince Henry.
Il would not like 10 say more than
that this visit will maintain a friend
" international spirit, although it
will in no wise restrict the mutual
competitive efforts to master the
markets of the world through excel
lence of product"

bears"
Tuesday morning the dog was dead.
The bear had chewed himself loose
from the rope, torn down the door Of
the stall in which the dog was quar-
tered, and hugged and clawed it to
death. Tige put up a good fight. as the
torn hide of the bear and the disor-
dered condition Of the stall showed,
but was no match for Bruin. Mr.. Dut-
ton, his owner, was chagrined at the
defeat of his pet, and cast ugly glances
at the bear, which leered knowingly at
him in return.
That same night, the weather hay-
ing turned cold, the bear was housed
in the woodshed Tor shelter. About
midnight the family was aroused bv a
great racket in the kitchen. and found
the bear beastly drunk and dancing a
cancan on the table. 1t had forced its
way into the cellar and tackled a keg
of hard cider. Disguised with its lapse
from virtue. Mr.. Gable drove it out into
the yard-a job that was accomplished
only after the stove had been upset
and a lot of dishes wrecked. An hour
later the engineer of an Erie train saw
a huge beast armed with a big fence
stake sitting on the track a few yards
ahead of his engine. 1t was too late
to stop the train. so the engineer
turned on a full head of steam and
went ahead. The engine struck Bruin
squarely amidships. and. 10 the engi-
neer's surprise. the bear landed safely
on the pilot. where il clun6 TO the sig
nal flagstaff and was carried to the
next stopping place. When the train
slowed down the bear jumped off and
trOtted back home.
Bruin is still stopping at Farmer
Cables, but the latter says he viii wait
only one week more for the return Of
its owner and the liquidation of his
bill. IF he doesn't show up Monday

"there'l be a dead bear here, and nv
neighbors will have plenty of bear
steak to eat. I don't want any more
bear boarders."
"And no more do T."said Mrs. Cable.
I allus thought Jim was a good bear.
but he's fallen from grace in a most
amaZin' sort Of way."

BEAR ACTS QUEERLY.
Why Mrs. Cable Thinks Bruin Has
Fallen from Grace.
Peculiar Antics That Have Made Old
Jim Objectionable to Indiana
PeOpIe-His Encounter with
a Railroad Train.

The Norton Qnd.) correspondent of
the Chicago Inter Oceansays that bears
of all kinds, and especially tame ones,
are at a discount in that vicinity. In
fact, it is the tame sort that the peO-
pie object to the most. Some months
ago a man who was travelling about
the country with a performing bear
came here suffering from injuries re-
ceived in a fight with a gang of rowdies
in South Chicago. His condition was
such that he decided TO go TO Indian
apOlis for treatment, and left his bear,
which he said was kind and gentle,
with Farmer Cable, to be cared for un-
til his return.
For a time Farmer Cable and his
folks thought they had treasure in
the bear, which was an intelligent ami
NAL. 1t was ducile and affectiOnate
and acted as a watch dog keeping
away the tramps. The first sign of
trouble came up two weeks ago, when
Bruin. tired of being left alone, fol-
lowed the family TO church, and sur
prised the congregation by entering
the sacred ediice and taking its place
near the pulpit. where it remained
through the service. Efforts TO drive
it out were fruitless, and the gravity
OF the occasion was sadly disturbed.
The following Monday night the Ca
bles had company. who stayed over
night. With them they brought a huge
mastiff. Just before retiring Mr.. Cable
said:
''Ill give the dog warm box stall in
the barn, and I'll tie the bear up, so
they can't get together. I don't think
there'd be any trouble if they did; but
it's Just as well not to take chances"
Don't worry about the dog" said
his guest. "Tige will take care of him
