John and the Bear.

Former Senator Carter, of Montana,
told a bright story yesterday about ex-
Representative John Allen, of Tupelo,
who is known now among his friends
as the Mississippi bear" because he
hurried to Washington from his state
while the president was on his recent
hunting trip. Mr.. Allen and a party
of friends accompanied Senator Car
ter last summer on trip through the
Yellowstone National Park. One day
the party discovered an immense black
bear not thirty feet away. AS the
party approached, the bear looked up
from his meal.
Stand back now and give us room,
shouted Allen. "All | want is a fair
show. If you will assure me against
interference by other bears, I'll fight
that fellow singlehanded.
He threw off his coat and. rolling up
his sleeves, advanced boldly toward
the bear Bruin shot one glance at
Allen out of the tail of his eye and
then scampered into the dense brush.
Il told you So commented Allen,
throwing out his chest as he Walked
back to the party. He was afraid t.
fight me-"

Gallant Judqe.

In case before Philadelphia court
in which popular actress had to ap-
pear as a witness, the judge hesitated
about asking the lady, as he was in
duty bound to do, what was her age.
Evidently he considered that such a
question put to such a witness, would
be direct incitement to perjury.
The way in which he got out of the
difficulty was ingenious, although de-
cidedly irregular. He asked, before
she had sworn. "How old are you,
MADAME" After little hesitation the
lady owned to being 80 years of age.
And now that you have told the
court your age continued the gallant
Judge, you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth o'-Philadelphia Ledger.

AMERICANS ATTACKED.
Party Of Engineers Threatened by
Chinese Are Rescued by United
States GunbOat.

Washington, May 1.-The state de-
partment has received a cablegram
from United, States Consul General Nc
Wade at Canton, dated Wednesday,
stating that a mob of a~nti-forelgn
Chinese made an attack at 9uan-Ial,
on North river, 140 miles from Canton,
upon a party of American engineers.
The consul appealed to Lieut.. Ander
son, commanding the American gun
boat Callao, andthe officers wentimme-
diately to the rescue. The consul gen
eral then lodged a formal complaint
with the Chinese officials. The attacks
not believed to be associated with the
boxer movement. 1t is conjectured
that the engineers, in the course OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., or similarwork'
had run counter to some intense CHI
nese superstition by invading a grave
yard or in some way committing a sac
rilege in the Chinese view.
