Parliamentary Amenities.

In Michigan some years ago a bill
was before the legislature to restore
the death penalty for the crime of
murder. Three Of the ablest mem
bers of the house made long
speeches in favor of the bill-so
long as to be found wearisome, es-
pecially by those who disagreed with
the opinions expressed. When the
third man had finished a young
member on the other side of the
chamber rose and said very sarcas-
tically:
'Mr. Speaker, rise to a question
Of privilege"
'The gentleman will state his
question of privilege" said the
speaker.
'Mr. Speaker, Lwish to inquire of
our friends Of the other side of the
house which they think is preferable
to be hanged or to be talked to
death :"
The question was greeted by APP
plause. Then suddenly some one
with a very loud voice said:
ooh, well, if you're going to talk
we prefer to be hanged"

The Prostrate Beast Was Not as Dead
as He Seemed.

In Russia it is the practice to
hunt bears just as they are creeping
out after their long sleep. As things
are managed the most timid indi-
ridaal may go bear hunting with
perfect impunity. Armed with a
good rifle, accompanied by a friend
md a guide similarly equipped, the
nost Impractical hand can usually
get his quarry before the half
awake creature has proceeded far
from his lair. And yet occasionally
the unforeseen occurs, as it did. in
an adventure related by Mr.. Viii
shaw in "Out of Doors In Gar
land"
The baron and the colonel had
purchased rights over alternating
bear, declared to be one of the
largest ever seen. When the ami
NAL was fairly dislodged from his
place of concealment the baron, who
had secured the first shot, fired, and
the enormous creature fell PROSTATE
and motionless.
The baron was jubilant. Hand
ing his rifle to the keeper, he seated
himself on fallen tree.

awkward if it should get up?"

Hes as dead as Caesar. Lookp
And going up to the PROSTATE crea-
ture he gave it kick with his
heavy shooting boot. To his horror
the bear roared and rose to its full
height. With blood pouring out of
its mouth it fell bodily on the baron,
forcing him to his back and pitching
on top of him. The colonel took
one step toward his rifle, but the
movement caused the bear to place
one huge paw on the baron's chest
and to fix its wicked eyes on the
colonel.
'For PHYS sake, don't mover
said the baron. IF you do he'll
murder me- Let him fix his atten-
ton on you. lie suspects you and
won't move if you don't"
The moments seemed intermina-

edge near enough to receive the
baron's whispered instructions.
