He Believed the Bear Story.

"In Austin one afternoon" says
Senator Bailey, of Texas, according
to Harper's Weekly, a number OF
safe legislators and not a few law
vcrs were telling stories OF bear
hlnting. A six-footer from the Quad
a'oupe bottoms told story OF
SLAUGHTER OF the Bruin family that
would have been calculated 20 aston
ish the late Baron Munchausen. The
teller of this story was, OF course, the
hero of the devastation related, and
It seems pretty clear from his recital
that he had exterminated all the bears
once 50 thick. in the dense cane
breaks and swanpy jungles Of his re-
gion.
"When the six-footer had finished
his tale there arose a chorus OF dis
s.nt. Nearly every man present
swore roundly against the lmproba-
bility of the adventures. In fact, sew
eral of his auditors did not 81 '1ple to
apply a plain epithet to that lndlVl-
dial, and general clamor ensued.
Against this popular verdict there
was found only one champion. This

was a wiry little man, who up to
that time had not spoken word.
Gentlemen remarked he, when
the noise had subsidized, l believe
every word our friend has uttered.
You are incredulous simply because
YOU haven't had his opportunities TOR
slaughtering big game. Now, l my
self have had experiences in that line,
back in old Mississippi, that l almost
dread to tell you of, lest you should
think that l, too, were drawing on my
imagination.
I could tell you of the greatest
bear hunt in history, back there on
Deer creek. We started our game one
Saturday morning and followed him
through six counties, camping on his
trail every night His tracks were OF
the size of a bushel measure. At the
end of the third week we caught up
with him, our dogs having followed
his trail. I had the lead of my
comrades, and as I approached the
scene I gave a yell Of encourage
ment to the dogs With that they
closed in on the bear. With the
stroke of his terrible paw, that bear
slew forty-eight of the best hunting
dogs in Mississippi, and the rest fled.
I avenged my dogs by shooting the
Bear through the brain. He weighed
some twelve hundred pounds.
"When the wiry little man had fin
ished his story there was not a word,
except from the man from Guada-
loupe. That's an internal lie! he
shouted.
In a twinkling the man from Mis-
sissippi had jumped for the fellow
and they went to the floor, the little
fellow or top, choking his adversary
viciously.
You don't believe it, eh? de-
manded he, fairly raining blows upon
that PROSTATE victim. Then take
that, and that, and that. Don't be-
leve it? I believed your bear story,
and you'll believe mine, or I'll beat
you to frazzle'
"Gasping for breath and begging
for mercy. the defeated one rose to
his knees and blurted out:
): The gentleman is telling the
truth There's no accounting for
what bear will do when he gets
irrita.ed.'

him to leave. Soon afterwards two
friends of the cook returned with

names were Charlie Anderson and
Ernest Anderson. They used small
shot. Mrs. Whitlock and small

Mai. Anderson was southern in SYM

science. He is buried in the cemetery

CHICAGO DEALERS
ARE SHY ON CORN
ADVANCE OF THREE CENTS A
euSHEL IN FIVE MINUTES.
Caused Pandemonium to Reign-Mar.
ket Is oversold by Many Millions
OF Bushels.

Chicago, May 1G.-"Crazy horse"
would have been fitting appellation
for a large majority of the traders in
the corn pit today. May corn, which
closed yesterday at 5O& cents, was
not for sale this morning until it
reached SO, and then in such limited
quantities that the price reached 81
before the demand was appreciably
satisfied.
The advance of almost cents
bGshel was the work of less than five
minutes, by which time pandemonium
lad succeeded to the comparative un-
demonstrative bidding of the first
two minutes.
There appears to be little doubt
that the market is oversold many
millions of bushels and that prepa-
ration have been made by certain big
tulls for a tight squeeze of unfortun-
ate bears when settlement day ar
rived.
Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington and
Pringle, Fitch & Rankin were the two
principal commission houses identi-
lied with the bull operation, and Ar
mour's grain house was it's principal
opponent. There were only 100000
bushels of corn all told in the public
warehouses in the chief market cen.
ters Of the Uuited States at the time
OF the weekly stock taking yester-
day, and of that 100000 bushels are
in Chicago. Nearly all the corn here
is of the quality that is necessary for
delivery on contracts, but about IL,
100000 or 100000 bushels are sup
posed to be sold for delivery this
month
There Is very little more than two
weeks left to get the corn. Farmers
are too busy in the fields to haul it to
market, as may be inferred from the
fact that only 38 carloads are expect
ed to arrive here tomorrow Even
if those who have the corn sold could
find 100 cars day for the next Is
days and every car contained 1000
bushels that would only amount to
100000 bushels, which would go but
a very small way in the settlement of
contracts for 100000 bushels.

there will not be case of yellow few
