MOLLIFIED THE GRIZZLY.
Chief of Southern Utes Had an In. terview with . Bear at Close
 Quarters.

"The most interesting story 1 ever heard came from the lips of old 'Buckskin Charley chief of the southern Utes," said MT. J. P. Altbergef, of Philadelphia, to a Washington Post reporter.
 "As told by a white man the narrative is tame, indeed, lacking the dramatic action and eloquence of the red warrior. It was about a meeting with big grizzly bear in the mountains of Colorado. Charley was out looking for deer. He was equipped with an old-fash- toned, single-barrel, muzzle-load- ing rifle, which put him at terri. ble disadvantage, when he was suddenly confronted by one of the biggest specimens of the grizzly tribe he ever saw.
 "T jumped behind big tree very quick he said, and MT. Bear came close, rearing up on his hind legs. I was scared to shoot, only hay ing one barrel. Then I com. menced to talk. said: "Mr. Bear, am your friend. leone out after deer. I hope you go way and so l kill deer and leave big piece of meat for you" Then the bear seemed to get friendly, and he dropped on his legs to the ground. much as to say he'd like a piece of deer, and then he run of into the mountains.'

METHOD IN COOKING EGGS
Aunt Dinah Sings Two Verses ol Hymn for Soft Boiled and
 Three for Hard.

Crooks are often accused of want of method, but the Aunt Dinah in Howard PauPs new egg story is not open to any such re. proach, says London Truth. In. variably when she put the eggs in the saucepan she began singing "Rock of Ages" and sang through two verses. Aunt Dinah," asked MT. Paul, "are there not three verses in that hymn" "Dar is massa, but I sings only two when I wants lem soft and three when l wants lem hard"
 His other egg story is good, too He was travelling on a Pennsyl vania railway, and when his breakfast was brought the eggs were underdone. "What time are we making on this train?" he asked the waiter. "A mile a min ute, sir" "Then boil the eggs another mile and they'll be quite right"

CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING
The ScFibbling MicrObe Never Leavea Que After It Gains
 Lodging.

"The habit of writing is a curious habit and one which may not be out grown," said an old scribbler, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. 'It seems to be born in the blood. It is a part of the nature of some men to write things. Early in life they begin to yield to an inclination to jot things down; to scribble of few thoughts at idle mo- ments. and between times, as 1t were; to versify a bit; to philosophize; to put down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl a thousand and ono little anothings which appeal to the fancy from time to time. Once acquire the habit and it, is thine for aye. No amount of change in life's course; no uphesvals of fortune, no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no nothing that may come with the feet ing years will ever once break the mind from the bent which prompts 1t to trace in the queer curling symbols which roll out from the pencils point the little playful nothings about which the soul Is wont to dream.
 Dainty, delicate children are these llIIlc Nd6ldAIS WulCu VuC Auly SCl e W1a into existence between times. Often they are bright, deep, subtle and of the verities; sometimes tney are morose. gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feeds the soul of the hungr, pessimists; some times as light and airy as the very foam which bursts laughtngly around the ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light. or profound, whether gay or sad, these things of mental loafing, these little pet nothings Of mental vagabondage, are scintillants which cheer and amuse . fellow as he hurries on from one mile post to another An, for the habit of writing! It pays when the bank fails pays in the sweet consolation one may know from close communion with ones own soul, for man hath not known his soul until it glare at him in such cheap symbols as he may employ in efforts, always short of weight, to speak It's weighty sentiments"

IS LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
eharge Made Against tho New wom- an-Considerations That Might
 Lead Her to Admit It.

One of the charges that are made against the "new woman" is tLat she is less sympathetic than Is her sister who abides closely in wAat is called "woman's sphere" '" says the Portland Oregonian. But in tie light of the above ar ralsnment of sympathy as the vice that t Tot infrequently is, may not the new woman" confess judgment upon this charge and strengthen her case and her posi- tion by so doing? Woman has been called a ministering angel, but would not more practical name better bef1t the women of the twentieth century? Will not the services of women to the world be greater and of more en- during effect if they cast aside un' reasonable sympathy as worn' out garment that QlSclOSeS ratner than conceals the moral naked ness of those about whom it is cast, and substitute therefor the armor of personal responsibility? It has been said that there is a woman behind the door of every mans success. 'If there is," says the writer, "rest assured that she isn't a sympathetic woman whin- ing through the keyhole: Give it up if it's hard,' but a woman of nerve and backbone who, like the Spartan woman of old, is crying out: Come home with your shield, or on it."

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL.
Historic Ground on Which the Youn8 Men of LOuisfaua Receive
 Their Training.

The Louisiana state university and agricultural and mechanical college is known as the military college of the south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is To- cated at Baton Rouge. and numbers among its graduates many men who are now officers in the regular army. Gen. w. T. Sherman was the first president of the institution before the civil war. and, notwithstanding his espousal of the northern cause. his memory is still rev. cred at this scene of his former labors, and his life-size portrait in oils occupies . prominent place in the handsome as- sembly hall of the college.
 The site of the university is historic ground. It was for many years mill itary post, and the garrisons of France. England, Spain and the United States have all at different periods occupied It. After 1t was abandoned for military purposes 1t was turned over to the state of Louisiana for purposes of education. Tho original buildings. however. still stand, and. with the flag floating over them, present a striking and beautiful appearance. ~4.- .r-.-
 Here, in 1779, Calves, the Spanish gov srnor general of Louisiana. after an en- gagement that lasted for three days. cap- tured the British garrison. The Span iards were in turn driven out by party of Americans, and this marked the passing of west Florida from the do- main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder- ates captured the post, and the next year . desperate battle. involving both land and sea forces, was fought near by. and the confederate ram Arkansas was blown up in the view of the land bat teries.
 Many distinguished officers served here while it was still military post Among those whose names are associ- Ated with the place are Wilkinson and the first Wade Hampton. Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Mcclellan and Joe Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet. Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral Porter and Bishop" Gen. Polk. Among the great civilians we recall the names of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly a place elsewhere in the south SO rich In historic associations
 The university Is true to it's traditions. The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in- heritance, and while they revere the cause for which their fathers fought, n> northern boys are to-day more loyal to the flag which is lowered at sunset every evening to the well-known strains of retreat. while on parade of over 300 ca dets stands on parade at attention. Everything about the university is con- ducted on military lines, and by means of frequent inspections a proper system of discipline is constantly maintained.

A Tall One.

An American in Paris was one day looking at the Eiffel tower, when he was accosted by an enthusiastic French man with: "Ah! my friend, that is a beautiful tower, and I doubt very much whether you have anything to beat it in America"
 "Wal, stranger" replied the Amer lean. T guess it's good for France, but in America we have tower so high that we h ve to lower the top at night"
 'Lower the top at night?" replied the Frenchman. For what reason?"
 "Wal, guess it is just to let the moon pass, stranger. Good-day. ."-London Bits

RHEUMATISM CURED
 By Paracamph.
MT E. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th
 St., New York City, Says:

"1 have used Paracamph in severe case of Rheumatism, and will say that I got immediate, relief. I have tried almost every preparation that is now before the public, and find that Paracamph is with out question the best remedy for Rheu- matistn. I wish you success and heartily recommed Paracamph" /"
 JMr Hawkins is only one out of many thousands that have been cured by the wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph This new remedy is a scientific prepara- ton which when applied, opens the pores of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment, removing the soreness and congestion, drawing out the fever and inflammation by inducing sweating. It sweats out the pain and aches, and this is Natures plan.
 Don't ruin your stomach with strong internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu- ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee Paracamph to relieve and cure youi if used as directed. If it fails your druggist will refund your money. Ifyour druggist don't handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
 If he won't do this send direct to us. But don't take any substitute because there isnothing just as good. Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $I .oo bottles.
 The 50 cent size contains three times as much as the 25 cent size; the $1 .oo bottles eight times as much as the 25 cent size. The Paracamph Company Louisville. Ky. U. S. A.

City Hall Proposal to Be Pre-.
sented by Taxpayers and
Citizens Generally.
Mr.. NoRDsTR0M IS ACTIVE
Says the New Hall VIII Run the
City In Debt $22, ,3OO-What
the Opposing Ones Have to
Say of the Matter.

The taxpayers and citizens of AS
toria generally are TO be afforded an
opportunity of declaring themselves
on the city nall proposal Yesterday
Councilman Nordstrom prepared three
petitions, which are to be circulated
In each Of the wards, and when these
petitions are signed they viii be pre-
scented to the council. The council
meets next Monday night. and it is
the expectation Of Mr. Nordstrom that
the petitions viii be ready for presen-
tation at that time. The petitions are
as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned taxpayers and
citizens of Astoria, think from infor-
nation we have that the purchase of
the Flavel brick at s25,O00 is better
business proposition than the erection
of new building on the new site at
the same amount of money; viii cost
less money, besides securing more
property. The brick building viii am
ply serve the needs Of the city for
many years and will then be valu-
able piece of property. 1t will be more
convenient than the new site"
Since the proposal of Captain Flavel
was made. Councilman Nordstrom has
talked with many of the taxpayers |
of the city and prominent men gem
orally, and he finds that there is de-
cided sentiment in favor of accepting
the Flavel offer. In order that the
matter may be presented to the coun-
ell in a proper manner, he will have
the petitions circulated, and submit
them to the council for consideration.
Il have taken the initiative in this
matter purely for the reason that /
think the Flavel proposition better
than that looking to the erection of a
new building" said Mr.. Nordstrom.
MANY property owners share my view
OF the matter. have therefore de-
termined to present the matter to the ,
council as it has been presented to
me, and hope in this way to bring ;,
about purchase of the brick building. :,
Perhaps I am mistaken regarding the :,
Flavel offer, but 1t seems to me to be
the very best we could get If ma
jority of the members of the council
think differently. then l suppose the
will be turned down. At :,
III events, the matter is worth con- =,
'idering, and l shall present it in the
best shape possible"
AS the option holds good only until
Iune 21, the proposal win be acted
lpon definitely at the meeting OF the
ouncil on the night Of the goth.

discussing the matter. The estimates
are rough ones. but conservative never
