the guard rails on top of the box. Poor
Fritz c.osed his eyes and braced him
self for the shock, which he well knew
would soon come. The road was
straight ahead for two miles. In the
middle of the mountain a farmers team
pulled TO one SIDE just in time to es-
cape disaster and 10 see the strange
outfit shoot by with the speed of the
Black Diamond express.
Near the foct of the mountain is a
slap bend in the road. There the
slei III left the track, shot directly
across the road, and collided with a
huge pile of railroad ties.
Some hours later sleighing party
on its way home from a country dance
encountered the wreck. The bear was
iammed in between the sleigh and the
timber, fearfully mangled and quite
dead. Fritz was fished out of huge
pile of snow and woolen goods, stunned
and lacerated. The sleigh was a wreck,
and the goods were scattered among
the snowdrifts.
Fritz was carried to a farmhouse,
where he received medical attendance.
In day or two he discovered his horse
in a farmers barn five miles ahead,
and he rode it to his Hackensack home.

Unique wedding in Kansas.

A business-like wedding was cele-
brated at Fort Scott, Kan, the other
day. The parties were aged, respec-
lively, II and Ga. Both are possessed
of valuable property, and the bride
is the owner of several farms. Before
the ceremony an agreement was
signed to the effect that each should
have control of the property belonging
to each. However, the good woman
got little the better of the dicker-
ing. BY the terms of the agreement
she is to have a life interest in his
estate after death. but he is not given
the same right with respect to hers,

FOUGHT THREE BEARS.
All, killing the Last of the TrIs
with His Knife.

United States Government Surveyor
Stoner was in Ventura, Cal, the
other afternoon and he told an ex.
ceedingly interesting and exciting
story regarding the killing of ar
enormous she grizzly bear and her
two cubs. Bert Cooper, a local hunt
er of some fame, did the killing. The
corps of government surveyors Is
now at work in the mountains back
of NordhOff. Cooper is cooking for
the crowd. Last Thursday Cooper
was riding leisurely along a fre-
quently travelled trail not far from
the camp, when suddenly he encoun-

tered the three grizzlies all standing
upon their hind legs. They were but
30 feet away. Cooper quietly jumped
to the ground and tied his horse to
a nearby tree. Then he was ready
for the fray. He had but eight
shells. The next moment the she
bear caught sight of the intruder
and made a run for him. Sure of
aim Cooper sent a bullet into her
head, then two more bullets followed,
lodging also in the head of the beast,
and she was dead. The cubs wanted
to decamp. Cooper fired the remain
der of his shells, killing the first cub,
but the other yet remained. This
latter cub was on the run.
Cooper was not to be deprived of
the prize, although without ammuni-
tion. it was a hand-to-hand fight.
The rife was broken on the cubs
head without serious effect on the
animal. Cooper quickly brought his
knife into use and slashed the cubs
throat. The fight lasted but a few
minutes and there were no witnesses
to the single-handed combat.
During the past week the survey
Ors, rangers and their friends, have
lived on bear meat. The meat of the
cubs was delicious. according to
Stoner. A large quantity of bears
grease was rendered and is being
utilized for cooking purposes. The
she bear weighed over 1000 pounds.

forward and struck at the horse, which
gave a sudden spring, twisted off the

Fritz screamed in terror. He was un-

He leaped from the sleigh, Lumbled

Gen uamiIton,s spectacIes.

A very remarkable story is current
with regard to Gen. Sir Ian Hamll-
tons spectacles. 1t appears that the
gallant officer. then a subaltern, lost
a pair OF spectacles in the battle OF
Maiuha hill. They were apparently
picked up by a Boer, whom they
suited, aud who kept them for 20
years. In the early part of the pres
ent year the spectacles were found
on the body of dead Boer. The case
had Gen. Hamilton's name on II, and
they were in due course returned TO
their original owner.

GeTmans Like Our Tobecco.

In no other country in the world
is the cigar so popular as in Ger
many, so much so that it is impos-
sible to raise enough tobacco in the
empire to supply the domestic de-
mand. Last year Germany imported
nearly s22.OOO.OOO worth of tobacco,
a little more than a third Of il com
ing from the United States. The use
of the cigarette Is rapidly spreading
in Germany. Last year $50 tons %
cigarettes were consumed, at least
five times as many as were needed

New Cure for seasickness.

Sea water is recommended as a
cure for seasickness. In addition to
a light diet and mild purge before
starting on a voyage, and loose
clothing and a recumbent position
in the open air on board ship, the
remedy never known TO fail is pint
of sea water. This usually acts as an
emetic and often as a saline aperient,
giving prompt relief from all un-
pleasant feelings

Tears Used as Medicine.

Human tears are not recognized as
a specific against disease in any other
country but Persia, and there, only
those tears which have been shed
at a funeral are supposed to have cura-
tive qualities. In the country named
the custom of bottling tears is an i'm
portant feature of funeral ceremony.
To each of the mourners present the
master of ceremonies presents piece
of cotton, wool or sponge, with which
to wipe away the tears. The contents
of the wool or sponge are afterward
squeezed into bottle, and these tears
are preserved as a powerful and GER
tain restorative when all other medi-
cines have proved useless.
