care is taken by the master OF the

TOM BRODERICK'S NARROW ESCAPE
Popular Train Man Had Close Call
at Cambria ON Saturday.

Thomas Broderick, the well-known
Northwestern baggage man, came
closer to being fatally injured last Sat-
urday than man really cares to. In
fact it was too close for comfort.
The accident occurred while the west
bound afternoon train was stopping at
Cambria. Broderick, with his right
hand clinging to an iron fastening on
the car door, took hold of cash reg
lister with his left and started to swing
it out onto truck On the platform.
AS he did so the iron fastening gave
way and the young baggageman was
thrown to the ground and landed on
his head. When picked up by the train
crew he was unconscious and contin-
ued SO until long after he had been
brought to this city and comfortably
located in the hospital. Towards eve
ming, however, he showed signs of re-
vival and then was it first learned th at
his injuries were by no means serious.

The Tenors' Parts.

Probably the composers are largely
responsible for tenor worship. In Yer
dis operas, with hardly an exception,
the tenor plays a more important part
than the baritone or bass, and the
same is true of other opera writers,
Mozart's "Don Giovanni" being nota-
Bile exception. Wagner wrote one
opera, 'The Flying Dutchman,' in
which the baritone is king, whereas in
six of his works the supremacy of the
tenor is indicated by the very titles
.'Rienzi. '.Tannhauser," "Lohengrin,"
Tristan und Isolde "Siegfried,
''Parsifal.' This being so, we shall
probably continue to be subject to the
tyranny of one tenor or another, unless
it be true, as was maintained at con-
clave of French savants, that the tenor
voice is a relic of barbarism, destined
to become acknowledgements.

THE PREY OF A GRIZZLY.
BY Little Oversight Bruin Was Rob-
bed Of a Good Meal.

In the early settlement Of California
grizzly bears were numerous and trou-
blesome, but few men ever had a more
singular experience with grizzly than
Paul Sweet, who kept a tannery near
Santa Cruz. The story is told by Mrs
Dali in .'My First Holiday
Mr.. Sweet was one day walking
alone in the woods when he came sud
denly upon a grizzly bear and her two
cubs. He was quite unarmed, and be-
fore he had time to consider any plan
OF action the bear was upon him. She
struck him down, but he kept his pres
ence of mind and lay perfectly quiet.
The grizzly stood over him for min
ute OF more, then seized him by the
waistband and began dragging him
along. He did not resist, and she drag
ged him for a dozen rods to a little
sandy hollow, where she dropped him
and began digging a hole in the sand
Into this hole she rooted the man, and
then nosed and paved the sand over
him until he was buried from sight
The prudent animal, not being hungry
at the moment. was making a cache
Of her prey
Mr.. Sweets heart lightened as he
realized the brute's intentions, and he
began to hope that he might escape
He waited a few minutes after the
bear had covered him in, and then.
thinking that she had retired from the
scene, he began to work himself free
very cautiously. The grizzly was on
the watch. however, and at the first
movement Of her prey rushed to the
spot and with two or three strokes of
her paw snugly tucked him in again.
Mr.. Sweet instantly became motion
less again and allowed himself to be
reburied in the sand. Luckily his hat
had slipped over his face so that the
sand did not fill his nose and eyes, and
by raising his head little he was able
to throw off the sand sufficiently to
breathe.
He was more wary next time and lay
still for an hour or two until he felt
pretty sure that the grizzly had retired
from the spot. Very cautiously then
he worked himself free from the sand
and crept away.

A LEGEND OF WORMS.
Prophecy of the Jewish Sage and It's
Strange fuIfilIment.

Strange FuIflIment.
Rashi lived during the time of the
first crusade, and one of the legends
Of Worms connects him with this
event. He was one day seated with
his pupils, when a knight, full piano.
piled, made his way into the school
house and with threatening mien thus
addressed him: rabbi, thy name for
wisdom has reached me and fain would
l learn my fate from thee. l have
assembled q host wherewith I purpose
to drive the infidel Turk from the Holy
City, but before set out I demand to
know whether my undertaking will
succeed. Answer me at once I have
no time for delay"
The rabbi replied: "Thou wouldst
learn the future from me? Alas, l am
unable to foretell it. God alone can
say what the future will bring forth.
I have no powers Of divination, and
my faith forbids the assumption Of
them. Pray, therefore, forgive me if l
am unable to accede to thy request"
Rabbi exclaimed the knight in
tones Of passion, 81 will listen to no
refusal. Well I know that thou canst
foretell the future if thou wilt AS
truly as am Godfrey of Bouillon, so
truly do | promise to protect thee and
thy community from all harm, even if
thou shouldst foretell disaster to me.
But If it is a successful issue that thou
hast in store for me I will right roy
ally reward thee in addition on my re-
turn. What? Art thou silent? Speak
or by heaven my sword shall open thy
mouth wide enough
"My liege lord" answered the Jew
ish sage, there is only one above who
can penetrate the future. Unless
would deceive thee, which I dare not
do, at most can but venture an opin-
lon Of what will happen to thee. Thy
undertaking will only succeed in part.
OF thy immense host but three men
and one horses head will return in
safety" With blanched countenance
Godfrey of Bouillon turned to depart,
exclaiming as he went, 'Take care.
Jew, If return to find thou hast de-
ceived me" Godfrey of Bouillon went
up to Jerusalem, captured it and be-
came It's first king.
But his success was short lived, and
the tide of war turned against him.
Defeat and disease decimated his vast
host until there remained but four. rid-
ers Of them all who made their way
to Worms. ''The Jew has not spoken
the truth" he remarked as the gates
Of the city came in sight "He said
we should return with only three rid
ers and horses head He has lost his
reward They rode up to the gates
and demanded admission The massive
door behind was raised, and they pass
ed through. But as the fourth rider
was about to follow it fell down again
with heavy thud, decapitating the
horse and leaving its trunk and burden
outside the city. Conduct me to the
rabbi" said Godfrey Of Bouillon. 81
