Found Rich Brides Scarce.

Otto Schegelberger, handsome
young man living in Germany, read
In his paper how easy it was for good
looking foreigners to find rich Amerl'

A Bernese has had an unpleasant c2

her all his life.
While returning home late in the
night the worse for drink, he fell into
the bealJ' pit at Berne, Switzerland
Fortunately, he was in the part re-
served for young bears, and he went to
sleep, surrounded by the animals On
discovering his plight next morning he
shouted for help, and with the aid Of
ropes and a ladder he was drawn up
into the street, apparently none the
worse for the adventure.
His sleep might have been of a longer
duration if he had fallen a few yards

WRECKED SAILORS LONG TRAMP
After suffering terrible hardships in
a 6OO-mile march through the wllds of

forty.seyen members of the crew of
the steamer EldOrado, of Liverpool,
passed through Ottawa on the way to
Montreal.
The Eldorado, a ship Of $50 tons bur-
den, struck an uncharted rock at the
entrance of Hudson Bay, near Fort
George, and sank. Every member of
the crew succeeded in getting ashore,
but all hands were completely desti-
tute of provisions and saved only the
clothing that was on their backs.
The ship and crew comprised an ex'
ploration and trading expedition sent
out by stock company. They carried
a large stock of goods suitable for bar
ter with the Indians in exchange for
furs, and 1t was proposed to operate
alors the lines of the Hudson Bay
Company.
The men began their long march
southwark almost destitute of provis-
ions and supplies Of any kind that
could be exchanged for food. They
marched through the wilderness for
forty.two days. Their suffering was
intense, but not a single man sue
cumbed. They struck the Temiscan-
Inc Railroad, and were taken on board |
by a passing train and carried to the
junction with the Canadian Pacific

MAN AND BEAR ON A LOG.
Conductor Dave Houston, Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, who is tax.
ing ten days vacation at Seaside,
had a thrilling experience with a big
bear which he will not soon forget. He
only told a few of the incidents, as he
desired to keep it quiet, but the story
leaked out. Conductor Houston Is d
great fisherman, and never lets an op-
portunity slip to cast the line. He had
hardly got settled at the seaside when
no went out on the Necanicum River
to have fish all by himself. He made
his way through the brush until he
came to a log, one end of which pro-
jected out into The creek. THAT'S the
very place." thought the conductor,
and, adjusting his line and pole, he
crept out on the log, where he found
himself comfortably perched above the
cool water Of Necanicum Greek. Hous-
ton lighted his tried and trusty pipe
and then cast his line. He fshed and
smoked perhaps an hour without get
ting bite.
Suddenly there was movement In
the bushes back of him, and then he
felt the log he was sitting on tremble
Instinctlvely the conductor turned
around, when to his amazement he
gazed into the face of a black bear
The latter seemed to be sizing him up
and estimating how much Of a meal
the conductor would make, and
whether he would scrap when 1t
came to the point. For the conductor
there seemed no escape. The bear 50
complacently on the shore end of the
log, and 1t was not possible for Con-
ductor Houston to get past the mon
ster. The bear held him there for sew
eral hours before a hunter came along
and killed the animal. The bear
weighed $50 pounds when dressed. |
Conductor Houston now has a few
more gray hairs in his head as the re-
suit of his experience. Morning Ore.

rI who lately succeeded to

In I1,| ment Of practical Chinese,
Ea Glll at London University, va.
cant by Mr. George Browns resigna-
ton, was political adviser to General
Gazelee during the occupation Of Pc
kin by the allied forces. Sir Valera
marvellously fluent speaker of Chinese
was some years Chinese Secretary to
the British Legation at Pekin, and af-
terward onsul-General in Korea.
One incident in Sir Walters Chinese
career has very seldom been touched
upon. 1t was he who took the Chinese
forts of Shan-Hai-Kwan when garri-
soned by 5000 men, and without firing
a shot. Sir Walter and gunboat were
despatched from Taku to reconnoitre
the coast to the north Of Pehtang.
Going OIL shore with an officer and
eighteen men, Sir Walter sent up his
card to the Chinese General with a re-
quest for an interview. This was
granted. 'The Allied Forces will be
here, all around the forts, tomorrow"
said Sir Walter to the Chinese General.
"Are you not of the opinion that much
bloodsDed would be saved by a surren-
der, as, Of course you know the forts
are bound to be taken? Nothing can
save you! 1t is really the only course
to save bloodshed."
The Chinese General debated a
while, and OH the question of the adj
Visibility Of surrender being again
put TO him, answered Eyes, certainly,
but when and to whom?" "To me,
and there is no time like the present"
replied Sir Walter promptly, "other-
wise | shall be compelled to open fire
on the forts" The lsual preliminaries
were then gone through. Sir Walter
placed the British flag over the forts,
sent the gunboat back to Taku to re-
port, and utilizing disused signal box
at the railway station as a blockhouse
dotted his sentries about and himself
turned in for the night.
Toward morning the Russian troops
arrived and the Russian officer, not re-
alizing the situation, was about to take
advantage of his early arrival. II
shall occupy the station he said, land
proceed to attack the forts" "The forts
are taken, and the station is in my oc-
