BRUIN AND PEDDLER
Together They Shot Down a Steep
Mountain Incline.
Man Hid I'm Wagon Box with Bear on
Top and Horse Broke from
SIeISh-Big Beast Killed by
the Accident.

According to the Susquehanna (Pa.)
correspondent of the New York World,
Fritz Stein is peddler known by every
one on the road between his home at
Hackensack and Scranton. He carries
in his red wagon box everything from
a darning-needle to stove. Fritz was
driving his sleigh along the road down
Poeono mountain near Manunka Chunk
recently at twilight, singing because
of the good sales of the day, when, with
a savage spring, his horse jumped into
the air and lurched forward.
Fritz's hair stood on end, for right
ahead, in a bend in the road, was a
huge black bear. The brute shambled
forward and struck at the horse, which
gave, sudden spring, twisted on the
thills, and went down the mountain at
furious pace. The sleigh was left
standing upon knoll
Fritz screamed in terror. He was I'M
armed, and he saw certain death ahead.
He leaped from the sleigh, tumhled
into the box in which he stored his
stock, and fastened both doors. The en-
ragged bear attacked the sheep hides on
top of the sleigh and tore them into
shreds. Then he tried to tear of the
top of the box to reach Fritz, who was
holding the doors closed and expecting
every moment that the top would
break.
Then the unexpected happened. The
sleigh was standing in the deep, smooth
tracks made by the heavy sleds of the
lumbermen, and the terrific exertions
OF the bear, with his added weight. sud
denly started the outfit down the in
cline, shooting ahead with frightful
velocity.
The bear realized his danger and
growled as he crouched and chung to

The Dentist. Revenxe

A dentist recently turned the tables
neatly on a nimble-footed thief who
had robbed the dentists wife of her
purse in the street. The husband re-
marked at the time that he should
know the rascal again, and when few
days afterward the thief called to have
some teeth attended to the dentist
was ready for him. Telling his visitor
that it would be necessary to take a
cast of his mouth, the dentist resorted
to the now obsolete method of a plas-
ter impression, and having allowed it
to remain in long enough to set hard,
calmly ordered his patient to follow
him to a lawyers Office with the view
of signing a confession and making
restitution. The terrified thief had
perforce to comply, after which the
dentist, with the aid of hammer and
cold chisel, delivered him from his awk-
ward predicament.--Paris Temps.
