steep opposite bank of the ravine, and as
/ had stopped he stopped also, audibly
shifting the air, which probably carried to
him the odor of the fresh meat upon my
saddle. The ravine was fully 80 yards
wide, and across this chasm we surveyed
one another. The bear looked sad, as II
he thought: "How near and yet so far"
l knew very well that lie could not cross
the ravine, and at first intended to Shoot
him with my revolver; upon second
thought, knowing the lay of the land per-
fectly, better idea occurred to me.

turn also, keeping abreast of me on the
other side of the impossible barrier. Grad

kept step with my canter in sort Of
seemingly easy trot which covered the
ground in lively fashion. knew that the
ravine extended, maintaining the same
steep formation, to within about 200 yards
Of the timber camp, when it gradually
widened into gentle slope easily accessi-
Bile from either side. Thus we went
peaceably along; l could see that the bear
was very fat, as his headquarters fairly
shook at every step he made. A ride Of
about one mile would surely bring me
near enough to our men to make my re-
volver shots heard, which, if fired in rapid
succession, would bring some of the men
to the spot with their rifles.
Even if the worst came to the worst,
could hardly run any risk, as l could, by
unfastening and dropping the meat, de-
tain the bear and readily escape over the
comparatively open ground to my left on
my good Tinto, who eyed the bear sus-
piciously, it is true, but still without show
ing any excitement. When 1 knew from
the surroundings and the aspect of the
ravine that we were near enough to the
timber camp to be heard, l fired three
shots in quick succession, which had the
effect of rousing the camp into prompt
armed activity. Presently the Corporal in
charge appeared upon little knoll; l
pointed out to him the game that was
running straight into his camp-kettle, as
it were. The bear was soon dispatched,
and furnished several good roasts, for one
of which l took half a hindquarter to
camp in exchange for the beef l had
brought. The bear was not large, proba-
bly, not over three years old, and could
hardly weigh more than 300 pounds ION

ADVENTURE WITH A CINNAMON BEAR.

ADVENTURE WITH "A ClNNAAON 6EAh
In the middle of the Summer of 1867
had an exciting adventure with einna-
mon bear, which had profitable outcome.
There were eight men of our garrison In a
canyon of the Huachuca Mountains, where
they had established temporary camp
while getting out the timber used in our
buildings. The commanding officer had
suddenly resolved upon a change in the
arrangement of the officers quarters,
which would necessitate the cutting OF
four timbers of unusual length, and l I'M
dertook to carry this order to the timber
camp. As we had killed n steer that aft
ernoon, and the wagons were not to be
sent for the timbers for several days to
come, l placed about % pounds of the
fresh meat in a gunny-sack, which fast
ened upon the saddle, and started towards
evening for the wood camp. The road lay
straight towards tie mountains, but
when it reached the foot of them it sud
denly made turn to the left, there being
a long. wide ravine with very steep banks
between the mountains and the road.
l had just entered upon this turn when

looking up perceived several rocks rolling
down the mountain side, which was i'll

creosote bushes, presently there came into

while the ramrod did the same service
upon his left side.
Thus by STOPPING over he could appar-
emily walk on four legs. His legs were
bare and he was careful to present to the
hunted deer his front as much as possible.
Of course he would pay some attention to
the direction of the wind, but did not con-
slider this as of nearly so much import
ance as he did the best possible imitation
of the hunted animals actions and mo-
tiOns. He frequently told us that we over
estimated the powers of seeming of the
deer; that he had, compelled by the diff
culties of the terrain in approaching the
deer against the wind, or sometimes on
account of sudden changes in the direc-

selection from among the herd, although

it; while the latter would at once be-

Ninety Millions Tons of Cereals Year
(Success.)

The story of American agriculture has
been the story of our growth III population
and of the extension of our National do
main-a record without a parallel in the
history of the world. A Chicago man
once said that he had lied great many
times about the growth of his city, but
Providence had always quickly come to
his relief. 1t would take gifted liar to
overstate the growth of our agriculture or
exaggerate the marvel of its present pro-
portions. The difficulty is to prod imagi-
nation to any appreciation of the simple
facts.
Uncle Sam already occupies the first
rank among the farmers of the world in
the ma gnitude and value of his crops AL
though his family constitutes only one
twentieth of the human race. he produces
nearly one-third of the worlds food sup
ply, while Russia, which comes next as Il
food producer, has one-twelfth of the
worlds population and supplies less than
one-tifth of its food. Compare our wheat
crop for 1900 with that of the other lead
ing wheat countries of the world:
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1903-01-22

The expert mot Officially estimate of our
wheat crop for the past year is 200, 500.-
600 bushels; and the same authority
places our corn crop at 2.5S9. 951 600 bush
els, which equals the output of wheat for
the entire world in 1900.
We are told by Governments authority
that our crop of cereals for a single year
is 100000 tons. Let us try to get
hold of these figures so that they will
mean something to US. How long a train
Of cars would be required to ship this
crop, allowing 40 feet outside measure
ment to each car, and 10 tons of grain to
each?
If we had double track betting the
globe at the equator, these cars, loaded
would fill both tracks solid. and then
enough would be side-tracked to reach
from New York to San Francisco six
