The Grizzly In the Old Days.

In the old days, before the deadly
magazine rifle was invented, hunting
the grizzly was very different affair,
and no animal on the American CONT
nent was more dreaded. his ferceness
and vital force when wounded filling
the most reckless hunters with a
wholesome dread. 1t was not at all
unusual for a grizzly with bullet
through his heart to pursue and tear
to pieces the hunter, whose long. single
barreled. muzzle loading rifle, with its
one round lead bullet. was altogether
Inadequate for such a contest. 1t is a
strange thing. too. that, while the griz-
ely bear is an omnivorous feeder, liv-
ing on anything, from roots and nuts
to steer and buffalo meat he has never
been known to devour human f1esh.-

Quaint Custom In Land Tenure.

At Chingford. in Essex. England. an
estate is held by very curious condi-
ton. Whenever it passes into new
hands the owner. with his wife, man
servant and maidservant, comes on
horseback to the parsonage and pays
his homage by blowing three blasts
upon horn. He carries hawk upon
his wrist. His servant has grey
hound in slip, both for the use of the
rector for that day. He receives q
chicken for the hawk, peck of oats
for his horse and loaf of bread for
his greyhound. After dinner. the owner
blows three more blasts and then,
with his party. withdraws from the
rectory.

LIVING BEYOND ONES MEANS.
Is a Thief Really More Dishonest Thar
One Who "Beats His BilIs7

Thackeray has two or three tremen-
dous chapters in Vanity Fair" In
which he tells US How to live on moth
ing a year." The thing can be done,
as we all know. And the only ques-
ton is as to the best and safest way
to do 1t. A man was arrested in this
town a few days ago charged with
stealing from his employer. His thefts
were small, and they extended over
many years. 1t Is said that he made
no effort to conceal them. His posi-
ton was responsible, and he thought
it necessary that he should live in a
|neighborhood where his daughter would
have proper friends and associates.
So, as his salary was inadequate, he,
as is charged, supplemented 1t by
stealing. He had no bad habits, was
not extravagant, and had no great So
cial ambition. But he ran against the
law and he will have to suffer, we
suppose, for his act.
1t Is interesting to couple with this
the story Of a tradeswoman in this
town, who, 1t Is said, will be forced to
go out of business for the simple rea-
son that she cannot collect her bills
from fashionable people. She has done
all that she could to get what was her
due, and has even hired a lawyer to
prosecute her claims. But it was to
no purpose. Her customers simply
would not pay, and some of them had
arranged matters so that they could
not be compelled to pay. Which is the
more diShOneSt-a man who will not
pay his bills, or one who takes money
ton in ethics. But one thing is GER
tain-and that Is that in both cases
people are living beyond their means,
and that in both cases disaster comes
to some one. There are those that
hold that to swindle creditor Is
quite as bad as to take money from
an employer. But the law speaks with
a different voice.
You can live without earning money,
therefore, in at least two ways-either
by taking it from some one else, or
by standing off, your creditors. 1t Is
vastly less dangerous to buy things
without paying for them than 1t Is to
pay for them with money which does
not happen to be your own. Thacke-
ray tells of another way-namely,
sharp practice at the gaming table or
billiards. Capt. Crawley was an adept
at that practice. But as this Is only
another form Of stealing, we need not
dwell on 1t. The case Is more interest
ing. We commend it to our moralists.
Perhaps we shall have to conclude
that the law is a defective instrument
for the attainment Of exact Justice

its action. In 1902, there were no few
er than thirty young Chinese attached
to the Japanese military schools and,
at the same time there were 500 stu

A GOOD SAMARTTAN.-A southern
writer tells this story of negro preach
er's version of the parable Of the Good
Samaritan: There was a traveller on
a lonely road, said the preacher, who
was set upon by thieves, robbed and
left wounded and helpless by the way
side AS he lay there various persons
passed him, but none offered to assist
him. Presently a poor Samaritan
came by, and taking pity on the
wounded mans plight. helped him on
his mule and took him to an inn, where
he ordered food and drink and raiment
for the man, directing the innkeeper to
send the bill to him. And dis am
a true story, brethren" concluded the
preacher; for de inn am standin' dere
yet, and in the do'-way am standin' the
SHELTON OBJ de innkeeper, waitin' fer
de Good Samaritan to come back an
pay de bill."-Harper's Weekly.

NEVER MISSED THE PoINT.-'Horse
races are heroic, hence the fascina-
tion," said Bourke Cochran to New
York Times reporter recently. The
fact is sometimes ignored by persons
who condemn the sport. Recently l
played rather a sorry trick upon one
of them, a clergyman. AS an eye wit
ness I described the running OF the
Metropolitan handicap, and to make
it more interesting colored it a bit by
depicting how Irish Lad was challeng-
ed repeatedly from the start. and how
the race was in doubt up to the last
moment. I left the field a few jumps
from the finish. Then I said:
GA famous horseman declared once
that a race horse. pure and simple. Is
of interest to only three persons-the
kid that rides him, the lobster that
bets on him and the thief that owns
him.
"'Yes. yes!' replied the clergyman,
impatiently, but which Of those horses
won on that day you spoke of?"'

INSIDE INFoRMATIoN.-Hamle A.
Rye of Sioux City, who is organizing
an Appendices Club" said the other
day:
"Only those who have gone through
the operation for appendicitis will be
eligible for membership in my club
The loss of the appendix forms strong
bond of sympathy. Appendicitis VIC
tins like to get together and talk
about their past suffelngs.
"Such talk will be encouraged in my
club. The spirit of this organization
will not be like the spirit Of a Sioux
City woman heard about the other
day. This woman's little daughter
had just begun the study Of physiol-
ogy, and on the day of her third les
son the child brought the teacher a
note from the mother that said:
".Please don't tell May any more
about her inside. She doesn't like it,
and, besides, it's rude"

THE REVISED VERsIoN.-Jacob H,
Schiff, the New York banker, was talk
ing about plain and direct speech, says
an exchange.
ITO be plain and direct is always
best" he said, "but to be too plain
and direct is to be uncouth-to be
ludicrous.
"A good example Of that was afford
ed by a clergyman. He was address
ing a congregation Of fishermen and he
wanted to be sure they would under
stand him.

gyman, that it is as difficult for

as for a rich man to enter the kingdom

THE TRAINED NURSE.
From Unrefined Vocation II Has Be-
come Position of Honor.

From Unrefined Vocation Il Has Be-
come Position of Honor.
Since the days Of Florence Nightin-
gale, says the Trained Nurse Of To-
day, We have made great strides, or
wonderful progress, should say, In
the science and art of healing and cur
ing the sick. In those earlier times
nursing was regarded as vocation,
thoroughly unrefined, because engaged
in by the ignorant and unqualified.
Now we recognize it as profession
to be proud of, position Of honor, re-
sponsibility and trust, which not only
merits our praise and appreciation, but
demands our heartiest sympathy and
admiration.
The trained nurse, as have found
her, is a really competent woman of
wonderful tact, pleasant, refined, cul-
tivated, dignified, possessing bright
and cheerful manner, combined with
her gentle dignity and willing hands
she gives to the greatest profession of
| today a perfection Of womanhood we
have been slow to appreciate as to
value.
A community reaps the priceless ben
efits Of her unselash devotion, her un-
firing vigilance and generous self-for-
getfulness with an indifference that to
the thoughtful man or woman must
seem the acme of selfishness.
| We take for granted that the nurse
in training should be set apart from
the ordinary pleasures Of life,' because
we fancy her too busy in the interest
Of others to care for them. On the
contrary her pleasure would be the
greater and her enjoyment the more
seldom INDUCED in. When deftly and
tenderly ministering to our own dear
ones, how eagerly we boast Of our graf
itude and appreciation; how willingly
we promise never to forget the gentle
nurse through whose faithful watch
fulness is largely due the restoration
Of our dear ones. But, alas, for the
mockery Of our words. Our indebted
ness, our lifelong obligation for the
trained nurses wonderful care, encour-
agement, gentleness, patience, ineffable
love and goodness are all forgotten.
And yet how wonderfully easy it
would be for each one Of us to plan
some little enjoyment or pleasure for
her.
A trained nurses moments Of recre-
alton are very few, and we might
greatly add to and brighten them, did
we really appreciate the beautiful self
sacrifice Of such lives as theirs.
Why not anticipate our own sure
needs of life (sickness and sorrow come
alike to us all) by devising some plan
to add to her few pleasures. A call,
drive, an informal reception, lunch or
tea, would admirably serve the pur-
pose, and we should be perfectly re-
warded with the knowledge that we
had given a few moments real enjoy
ment to the confined life Of that
grandly beautiful and infinitely supe-
rior woman.
