rades in Misfortune.
A gentleman was once making in
quiries in Russia about the methods OF
catching bears in that country. He
was told that to entrap them a pit
was dug several feet deep, and after
covering it over, with turf, leaves, ETC.,
some food was placed on top. The
bear, if tempted by the bait, easily fell
into the snare. But" he added,
If four or five happen to get in there
How is that?" asked the gentleman.
''They form a sort of ladder by step
ping on each others shoulders, and
SO make their escape" But how does
the bottom one get out?" "Ah, those
bears, though not possessed with
mind and soul, such as God has given
US, yet can feel gratitude, and they
won't forget one who has been the
chief means of procuring their liberty.
Scampering off they fetch the branch
of a tree, which they let down to their
poor brother, enabling him speedily
to join them in the freedom which

should say, are a great deal better
than some people that we hear about,

REVIVAL OF THE BAGPIPEs.

Two Young Women Are Looking for
Engagements.
London society is threatened with
an outbreak of that eccentric instru-
ment, the bagpipe. Several novelty
seeking society girls. have learned
how to play, and are on the lookout
for evening engagements. Rumor has
it that petitions will be circulated to
stop them, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. There is no dicounting the wave
of terror which the announcement
has sent billowing over London.
Everybody realizes that if the bag
pipe were once let loose in private
drawing room the future of English
homelife would be seriously imperiled
The two girls leading off in this
latest accomplishment are the daugh-
ter of Lord Archibald Campbell and
the daughter of the late William
Black, novelist and newspaper editor
Both young ladies were instructed in
the noisy art by the best known bags
ter, if one may invent the term, in
England or Scotland. His name is
Fraser, and he is the man whom King
Edward recently attempted to lure
away from the Scottish regiment, with
which he has so long been connected,
to be private bagman to the king. But
the loyal Fraser decided not to break
associations of long standing.

DR.. Parkhurst Narrates Anecdote of a
Converted Savage.
DIR. Parkhurst delivered himself of
a story in the course of his sermon
in the Madison Square Presbyterian
church at New York on recent Sun
day. This is the story:
'An African chief became converted
and moved to London, where he wore
fashionable clothes and behaved in
every way as an irreproachable man.
One day he was giving a lecture in
church on the advantages of a peace
full, civilized life. His collar did not
fit well, and in attempting to adjust it
he tore open the buttonhole.
1.-The ripping shirt band brought
back all his old savagery, and he
shouted out that civilization was all
sham, and he wished he was back In
his old life Whereupon he pulled of
his collar, his coat and trousers and
finally stood in the garb of the I'M
adorned savage. Then he set fire to
the church and took to the woods.
IF his buttonhole had been little
stronger" added DR.. Parkhurst 'he
would probably have remained an ire
proachable man the rest of his life.
That's the way with much of our
civilization and virtue. A very small
thing will reveal the real conditions"

MIsER's CHART is MISSING.
Paper Showing Location of Buried
Wealth Suddenly Disappears.


Wealth Suddenly Disappears.
The recent settlement and distribu-
ton of the estate left by Joseph Co
natser, a miser, has again set the peo-
pie of Whitman (Wash-) county guess
ing as to what became of a chart
showing the location of various places
where Conatser had buried his money.
Just before death Conatser gave Thos.
Keyes, his closest friend, a plat which
contained a number of marks. dots
and figures, and pointing from the
window of his cabin. showed the spot
where much money was buried. He
asked Keyes to dig it up, and in an
old tin can the latter found $3.50 in
gold coin. Conatser gave Reyes to
understand that each spot on the chart
marked a place where the coin was
concealed.
When it was found necessary to
move the old man to a hospital this
chart and his other papers were sewed
inside of Conatser's vest. After his
death all the papers were turned over
to the court, with the exception of the
chart.
The mystery which surrounds the
lost chart may never be explained, and
the accumulations of Joseph Conatser,
the Sunset miser, may remain buried
forever

Victory Due to Lost Key.

An amusing incident occurred at
Cuxhaven during some landing maneu-
vers which were being carried out by
the German feet.
An adversary's fleet was supposed
to be attempting to force the entrance
to the Elbe, which was defended by
troops on shore. The first attack of
the enemy" had been repulsed dur
ing a severe storm. The troops on
shore retired to their bivouac. and to
protect the rifles from the rain,
which was coming down in torrents,
they locked them up in small wooden
house.
Suddenly the alarm sounded, but on
rushing to get their weapons the key
of the house was not to be found
When after considerable delay, the
rifles were distributed, it was found
that the enemy had forced the en-
trance and thus gained the victory"

A dramatic scene was enacted in a
dingy room of a New York East Side
tenement, where an aged woman in
her dying moments identified Patrick
Shea as the murderer of William Nc
Mahon. The crime was committed
last May, and was a typical Cherry
Hill murder. Shea csepaed and after
a long chase was run down in Phila-
delphia. Mrs. Catherine Brown, who
had known Shea from childhood, was
the only witness, and she could not go
to court, SO the court went to her.
Propped up by pillows, she told the
magistrate that she saw Shea, who
stood manacled beside the bed, walk
up behind Mcmahon and deliberately
shoot him down. Cross-examination
failed to change her statements, and
she finished by roundly denouncing

There must be a second before you

You second it. Annie" said the
president.

After much persuasion, however,
Annie was induced to give a feeble
second, and Frances inquired how
much was in the treasury.
-Four dollars" answered the treas
urer.
Then move as an amendment
that we take three dollars to buy pic
lures" and Amy Griffith sat down
amid admiring looks from her sisters.
The amendment was quickly Sec
onded. The president looked little
bewildered. but she started out:
AL in favor of the amendment, say
s. Contrary, same sign. It is car
ried; SO ordered. Now we take up
the next business or the club she
began, when Kenneth whispered:
You haven't disposed of the origi-
nal motion"
Must we vote on that. too?"
Certainly
''All in favor of taking all the money
from the treasury to buy pictures,
say T.
The girls looked bewildered, but
thinking that something was expected
of them, voted T. in unison.
Kenneth grinned. You voted to
take three dollars, and now you've
voted to take four. That makes seven,
doesn't it,"
Il don't know what to put down."
Quavered the secretary.
Then Frances rose to the occasion,
grandly. With one sweep of her pref
ty hand. she brushed back into OBJ
livion all the anoyances of the ques-
ton.
.-Just write what you know we
meant" she said
The next day, after a secret inter
view with the brother of Frances, by
which that small boy was a dollar
richer, Kenneth left for Arizona He
found matters at the Bonibel mine, of
which he owned half interest, in so
fiourishing a state that life seemed to
him quite worth living.
At intervals of two weeks, he wrote
to Frances letters which scintillated,
as it were, with his coming extinction
Her answers were intended to be
cheering, and were strangely silent
concerning the Browning club.

when a missive addressed in a waver-

message, reached him.

'All right Frances; I'll come
The members were all in their
places when Kenneth appeared. He
bowed gravely to the club in general,
and tried to suppress cough as his
eyes met those of the president The
members looked at one another sym
pathetically.
After the preliminaries the subject
of buying pictures for the club room
came up.
