was accounted a wonder A torch that
had been prepared was lighted, and the
couple entered the dark mouth, but
had hardly reached the center of the
first room when they were saluted by
such growing and clawing and roar
ing as held them spellbound for a mo-
ment. Then as a monster bear came
rushing at them from one of the inner
rooms the doughty sergeant broke for
daylight and fled at his best pace. The
calls of the girl were unheeded. He
hadn't served twelve years In the army
to become bears meat. He wanted a
wife, and Company G wanted a second
laundress, but he would try to find the
woman in town. He covered the mile
to the house without break and then
mounted his gallant steed and set off
for the fort He even forgot to leave
best wishes behind
Meanwhile Miss Rose had stumbled
and fallen and tainted away. 1t was
as good a chance as n bear ever had,
but this particular animal failed to
take advantage of the occasion.
In the first place. he was muzzled,
and, in the next, Joe Whitman was
hanging on to the end of n long rope
fastened to his collar. When he had
fulfilled his mission he was tied up,
and Joe went out and shouldered the
still unconscious girl and had borne her
nearly home when she revived.
AS she opened her eyes and Won
dered how she had tasted to the bear
Joe pointed out the sergeant riding
away. He also displayed his bloody
hunting knife.
"Oh, Joe, but the bear-the bear"
gasped the girl on his arm.
II came along just in time to kill 1t.
Thank heaven, you are not hurt Here
you are at home. l am glad l was of
service to you, but l can't come In.
After what was said the other day
You will come in, of course. There
may be another bear around
There wasn't, but during the next
hour Joe had talk with the colonel
and both of them shook hands at the
end of it and said they were glad.
That night when Joe led the bear back
to the town and his cake the owner
grufily querled:
"Well, did it workT
Beautifully"
"Then hand over the ten. When you
want a second wife come to me and
we will put up some other job to get
her."

ONE THOUSAND DEAD
coRoNER's ESTIMATE OF MUM.
Der OF VICTIMS IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO HORROR.

San Francisco. April 24.-Coroner
William Walsh estimates that the to-
tai number of dead will not be less
than 1000. His reports are complete
and his estimate is made up from all
the data he has been able TO collect.
Coroner Walsh said:
Bodies the deputy coroners have
found and buried number 800 as fol
lows:
AT Polk and Bay streets. 80; at
Portsmouth square. %; AZ Washington
square. IL; at the Six-Mile House, 200;
At Laurel hill. 70; scattered in differ
emit parts OF the city, 10. No thorough
search has been made Of the district
south of Market street or the Chinese
quarter. Many lives must have been
lost In these sections. South of Mar
ket street are the cheap lodginghouses
and many OF these collapsed from the
earthquake. There is little chance
that half of the inmates of the col
lapsed buildings had opportunity TO
escape. This is also true Of China
town.
Shortly after the earthquake sol
diers and police. so I have been told,
buried bodies found along the water
front. I have received no official re-
port of these. The total number of
dead will undoubtedly reach, II it does
not exceed, 1000"

Many Bodies Recovered From Ruins
Of Insane Asylum.

Oakland. Cal. April 20.--An Asso-
ciated Press correspondent who ar
rived here during the night from Santa
Cruz reports that 1903 bodies have been
taken out OF Agnew's state hospital
near Santa Clara. Oncial estimates
place the number of injured insane pa
tients at z07 and of these thirty were
not expected to live. The main build
ing of the hospital collapsed. pinning
many of the patients under fallen
walls and debris.
The padded cells had to be broken
up and more dangerous patients were
tied to trees out on the lawn In lieu
of safer place. The doctors and
nurses stuck heroically to their posts
and 100 students from Santa Clara col.
lege went over in a body to assist in
succoring the wounded.

PAYING IN ADVANCE.
Advice Of the Manager of a Large
Business House.


Never pay for anything in advance. and
half the trouble in households and in
housekeeping will be avoided" said the
manager Of large business house to a
Star reporter.
'It is habit on the part Of some peo-
pie. this paying in advance habit. and If
you will take the trouble to keep tab upon
it you will observe that such people are
more or less, considerably more than less,
in hot water ffguratively most of the time.
This Is particularly true as regards the
performance Of labor on the part of other
Individuals; or where certain things or
articles are to be made for another. 1t Is
the ipdulgent. easy housekeeper who pays
sings the saddest and the longest song on
the household domestic problem.
Never pay for goods, or garment for
instance, until you get 1t and 1t suits you
and not it's maker, though this has no
reference for goods bought outright in a
this class of purchases. If you wish them
at a specified time. otherwise they would
be of no use to you, pay on delivery; then
you will in all probability get them at the
hour you, and not the other party. want
them delivered.
In lawsuits brought by tradesmen. most of
them are for balances due rather than for
the entire amount of the bill. One of the
main reasons why the well-to-dO seem to
get what they want. and you don't IL you
are poor. Is because they seldom pay for
articles until they are received, and not
then IL they don't suit but in your case
seems to get stuck on the transaction. This
Is because this class Of people put into prac-
tice the principle am expatiating upon of
never paying for things in advance =.
