The whole thing was over in twenty
seconds from the time | caught sight
of the game: indeed, 1t was over so
quickly that the grizzly did not have
time to show fight at all or come r
step toward us. He was a monstrous
fellow, much larger than any | have
seen since, whether alive or brought in
dead by the hunters. As neal as we
could estimate (for of course we had
nothing with which to weigh more
than very small portions) he must have
weighed about twelve hundred pounds,
and though this is not as large as
some of his kind are said to grow in
California, it is yet a very unusual
size for a bear. He was a good deal
heavier than any of our horses; and 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
we were able to skin him. He must
have been very old. his teeth and
claws being all worn down and
blunted; but nevertheless he had been
living in plenty, for he was as fat as a
prize hog, the layers or his back being
a fingers length in thickness. He was
still in the summer coat. his hair be-
ing short. and in color a curious brin.
died brown, somewhat like that of GER
tain bulldogs; while all the bears we
shot afterward had the long thick win
ter fur. cinnamon or yellowish brown.
BY the way, the name of this bear has
reference TO its character and not to its
color, and should, | suppose, be prop
erly spelt g%risly-in the sense of hor
rible. exactly as we speak of a 'grisly
spectre"-and not grizzly; but perhaps
the latter way of spelling ii is too well
established to he now changed.

A Neiahinq Cock.

Camden says the Thames was once
called the Cockney, and therefore a
cockney means simply one who lives
on the banks of the Thames. Wedg-
wood says q cockney, or cockerney, is
one pampered by city indulgence, in
contradistinction to rustics hardened
by outdoor work. There is, however, q
legend, almost too good to be true
namely. that a Londoner who had
never before slept out Of sound of
Bow Bells had occasion to go into the
country and was detained all night
He was much disturbed by the lowing
of the cattle, the granting of the pigs
and other sounds of country life, which
he could not understand. and in par
ticular he was frightened by the crow
ing of the cock. In the morning, in
response to the farmers inquiries, he
said the sound of the wild beasts had
kept him awake. Just at that mo-
ment the cock crowed again, and the
Londoner said: That's the one! He's
been neightng like that for hours!"
Since then Londoners have been called
cockneighs or %cockneys.

ourselves. and every little sudden
noise sent a thrill through me as
l peered about with each sense on the
alert.
After going a few hundred yards the
tracks turned off on a ~well-beaten path
made by the elk; the woods were in
many places cut up by these game
trails, which had often become as dis
tinct as ordinary foot-paths. The
beasts footprints were perfectly plain
in the dust, and he had numbered along
up the path until neal the middle of
the hillside, where the ground broke
away and there were hollows and
boulders. Here there had been a wind
fall, and the dead trees lay among
the living, piled across one another in
all directions; while between and
around them sprouted up a thick
growth of young spruces and other
eyergreens. The trail turned off into
the tangled thicket, within which it
was almost certain we would find II
quarry. We could still follow the

claws on the bark, or by the bent and
broken twigs; and we advanced with
noiseless caution, slowly climbing over
the dead tree trunks and uNturned
stumps, and not letting a branch rustic

Then he saw us and dropped down
again on all tours, the shaggy hair on

slightly down, and when | saw the

every two or three days there was a
furry of light snow, which rendered
the labor of tracking much more easy.
Indeed, throughout u stay on the

says:
Senator Bourne of Oregon dined
last evening with President Roose-
welt, and II Is understood that the
appointment OF C. Schuebel as Uni

President Roosevelt is said TO have
asked Senator Bourne to assist in
the many reforms that the admins
tration has undertaken in California
and Oregon. Senator Bourne is re-
ported to have given answer that he
had always been a reformer OF the
old school and that he would lend
his influence In oregon and California
toward the bringing about OF honest
government in both states. He is re-
ported to have said that he hoped
Heney wonld help him in his good
work.
Senator Bourne. who was once "A
reform legislator at Salem, said that
he would be delighted to apply his
knowledge OF the work of grafters I'm
those times to the grafters OF the
present.
President Roosevelt, who loves
honest men. Is said to have patted
Bourne on the back and said, Good
boy. John, you're man after my
own heart. You deserve a place in

A REALISTIC ACT.
Amusing story of Joseph Jefferson
as Rip Van Wrinkle.

While he was playing Rip Van
Winkle at Chicago Joseph Jefferson
once went to the theater very much
exhausted by a long days fishing on
the lake. AS the curtain rose on
the third act II disclosed the white
haired Rip still deep In his twenty
years nap. Five, ten, twenty min
utes passed, and he did not awaken.
The audience began to get impa-
tlent and the prompter uneasy.
The great actor doubtless knew
what he was about, but this was
carrying the realistic business too
far. The fact was that all this time
Jefferson was really sleeping the
sleep of the just, or, rather. OF the
fisherman who had sat eight hours
In the sun. Finally the gallery be-
came uproarous, and one OF the
gods" wanted to know it>there was
going to be nineteen years more OF
this snooze business!"
AT this point Jefferson began to
snore. This decided the prompter,
who opened a small trap beneath the
stage and began to prod Rip from
below. The tagged comedian FUN
bled in his pocket for an imaginary
railway ticket and muttered drows-
lily. Going right through, 'ductor. 4"
At this entirely new reading the
audience was transfixed with amaze
ment. when all at once Jefferson sat
up with a loud shrek, evidently In
agony. The exasperated prompter
had jabbed him with a pin. Con-
sciousness OF the situation came TO
him, and the play went on after that
with n rush.

The receivership of the Chicago
Great Western railway, seems likely
to end the unique record made by
President A. B. Stickney OF having
erected financial structure OF $107,-
100000 without and bonded debt.
He started as a school teacher In
Minnesota and he has taught rail-.
way managers some new moves In
finance, all the time maintaining a
record for integrity. breadth and acu-
men that has won the admiration of
his keenest rivals. During the year
of panics in 1894 in four hours he
raised in Dubuque. Iowa, $400. 900
to meet a payroll. giving as security
only his plain note although gold
dollars were nearly as scarce as hens
teeth. It is oneof the stories told
on western roads that he contracted
to haul from Kansas City to Chicago
an immense tonnage OF packing
house products, then cut the rates
deep. the other roads cutting them
still deeper. and so deep that Presl-
dent Stlckney Immediately shipped
all the tonnage he could get over the
lines OF his competitors. The plan,
of which the receivership is a part,
is to pay of the $s.50O,O0O OF notes
now due by means of a $4,000, 900
bond issue and to use the millions
remaining in the treasury to improve
his system.

The famine In school teachers

proportions. Superintendent OF

prevails in Boston, Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. Since the opening of the
Chicago schools ten days ago. Il has
been necessary TO dismiss twenty 10
forty school roomfuls daily because
there was no one TO teach the pupils.
To meet this situation efforts are be-
ing made by the National Council of
Education to discover the causes of
the shortage and II possible devise
ways OF correcting 1t. Circular let
ters have been sent out to the super
intendents of schools in most of the

opinions on the following Ave ways
of relieving the situation: (a) To
