MansfeId's Fancy Collar.

Richard Mansfield when a mere boy,
was playing the leading role in a
tragedy, in the last scene of which he
was strangled. Sometimes, however,
the actor who was to simulate stran-
Cling him became too realistic. Sever
al times he nearly incapacitated the
principal player for finishing his great
scene. 1t came to such a pass that
drastic measures had to be taken. One
evening, in the greenroom, Mansfield
sldled up to the muscular player who
was to strangle him. The. latter noted
strange addition in Mansfeld's cos
tune. Instead OF the collaret of lace
1t was his wont to wear, bound about
his neck was leather band thickly
studded with prongs.
"And what is that forY' he asked
"Oh, that?' replied Mansfield, with
the rising infection and smile In his
voice; that is merely a trine, a mere
tride, to defer the collection of my
life insurance. Most inconveniently
the healthy condition Of my neck and
throat is necessary for the pursuance
Of my profession and the earning of
my daily bread"
The other actor saw .the point ano
spologlzed. Mansfield took off the col
lar and never after suffered at hrs
companion players hands in the big
scene.

Sheridan asked:
"What will you take for a shot at

-I'll take half sovereign"

The Roupell Mystery

TO be told. For yourself, you have moth
ing to fear. This secret is known to me
alone. l promise you it shall be kept
iRviolate. But in case the ties of long
habit or old association of ideas should
soften you toward this man, whom, up to
few minutes ago, you believed to be
your own son, let me tell you one thing.
Even you will then admit that the course
OF Justice should be no longer stayed"
What do you mean? | am aware that

The detective leaned forward and laid
his finger on her arm.
"Did you ever hear of the Roupell muir

"A defenseless woman, honored, respect

The murderer of Madame Roupell was

He left her and went hurriedly to the
door of the conservatory and passed
thence into the outer salon. Jules Cha

HUNTING BEARS IN ALASKA.


Some of the Biggest of Bruin Fam
lily Found In Far North.
There Is good bear hunting on the
Alaskan peninsula. l get seven griz-
Giles one afternoon, all of them within
4 quarter Of a mile and not over half
an hours time. The smallest OF them
was a 3-year-old, and ! should say they
averaged 1000 pounds. 1t took thir-
teen cartridges to bring the seven
down."
Grant G. Chase, hunter and prospec
tor, who for eleven years has spent
most of his time In the Alaskan vida,
crossed his knees in reminiscent fash
ion at the Sherman House and told a
few bear stories ON the eve Of returning
to his favorite haunts.
Then for confederation there is the
testimony of Mrs. Chase, who for sew
eral years has shared her husbands
life, and who has kept a diary where
in is faithfully recorded the number of
bear, caribou, sea otter and other fur
bearers brought down daily, and care
full measurement of the biggest skins.
81 suppose l have killed 500 or 600
bears altogether" continued Mr.. Chase.
"Of course, a good deal Of my time has
been given to some copper properties l
am interested in or the number might
have been much larger. At one time
and another l have hunted bear pretty
much all through the Rockies, but
there isn't another place to equal the
Alaskan peninsula.
"Bigf Well, I'll tell you. Those
bears up there are the largest in the
world. A full grown male weighs from
1000 to $500 pounds. The skin of the
largest fellow l ever killed measured
13 feet inches long and 10 feet 3
inches spread from toenail to toenall.
l can lift as much as the average man,
but I'm telling 1t straight when l say
that with Mrs. Chase to help me I
couldn't turn that fellow over on his
lack to skin him.
Twenty feet Is the nearest a bear
bent on mischief ever got to me. An
old female whose cub l had brought
down, came for me one day and she
was mad. She was sixty or seventy
yards distant and in a bunch Of alder
when 1 took my first shot at her. She
got up and came out In the clearing,
and then she saw me and came for me
in earnest l worked my gun pretty
rapidly and the shots took effect. She
was about six PAGES away when she
dropped.
Mrs. Chase and 1 got scare once,
though, In rather a ludicrous way. l
had three camps In a lonely region,
where for three years Mrs. Chase never
saw a white woman. l had to put up
bavaraias,' or houses of drift wood,
the only kind available. We were go
brought down bear.
I'VE were in no hurry, so we stopped,
built a fire and had some lunch. After
lunch-about an hour after the shoot
ing-we went down into a gulch where
the bear was lying. Mrs. Chase was
carrying an aluminium teapot. l got
her to help me turn the bear over, and
was about to remove his hide when
the big fellow suddenly came to life.
you should have seen Mrs. Chase
go up that hillside. The best of 1t was,
in spite Of her haste, she took time to
rescue her teapot. l believe l jumped
about twenty feet myself. If that
bear had been In shape to do damage
there might have been some trouble
but he wasn't. AS a general thing
there isn't much adventure-it's too
easy" --Chicsgo Post.

WHERE WASHINGTON
HAD HIS DISTINCTION

The incumbent of an old and his
toric church in Wales who had been
showing a party of Americans around
asked them to visit his parochial
school. Of which he was very proud,
in the fond hope of receiving a liberal
donation.
After a hesitation or two he invited
them to question his scholars, and
one of the party accepted the invita-
tion.
"Little boy" he said to a rosy
faced little unchin, "can you tell me
who George Washington vast"
"Iss, %sorr," was the smiling reply,
"He was a Mexican gen 'ral."
"Quite right, and can you tell me
what George Washington was remar.

"Iss, sorr. 'E was remarkable eos

followed by a donation.

SOARING HIS ACCOUNT

Billv bowed himself out with such
manifest pain and disappointment,
that the girl wal almost tempted TO
call him back; but, since he had not
made any promise to discontinue ms
made any promises to discontinue ms
attentions to Miss Parkinson, she
suffered him to depart without a recon.
cilliation. He got into the buggy and
drove away with sucha sorrowful ar
that the girl. who was wat;hing MN
from behind the window curtains,
half repented her severity. stu.
willy Willie promised to shake her
rival. she would have nothing more
to do with him.
Unfortunately for Mr. Williams, the
next time he met his bast girl-it was
at a chrysanthemum exhibit-he was
dawdling along for the championship
of Miss Parkinson. Miss Scott gave
him a formal bow, and Billy took off
his hat with a melancholy expression
which might mean almost anything
IT might mean that a dreadful misfor-
tune connected him with his second
best girl or that he was too gallant : 0
turn away from her. At any rate II
did not satisfy Miss Scott.
From time to time Miss Scott con
tinued to meet Mr.. Williams, and he
was usually attending Miss Markin-
son. He always greeted Miss scott
with a melancholy smile. IT he a
been so ungallant to Indicate PLAINLY
that he was bored, Miss Scott would
have despised him. He did no such
thing. He simply grieved.
One morning the postman brought
Miss Scott a letter on which she reeog.
nized the welEknown hand writing OF
Mr.. Williams. Tearing it open she
read:
Nv dear Miss Parkinson: You must
pardon me for the plainness OF what
have to say to you. Your attentions
to me are not only irksome, but they
are keeping me from the society OF
another whose opinion / prize. | trust
that this frank statement will not rem
der you my enemy. Yours.
WILLIAM WILLIAMS
II did not take Miss Scott long to
see that Mr.. William Williams had
addressed the note to her by mistake.
She was pleased to see that his mind
was p~reoccupied with her W sweet
self. She waited for more definite in
formation. The mex mail brought a
letter from Billy imploring her to re-
turn a letter he had addressed to her
in a fit of abstraction. Miss Scott
was delighted All was explained.
Billy's seemingly attentions to Miss
Parkinson were simply Miss Parkin-
attentions to Billy. He had
finally been driven by his love for
Miss Scott to unburden his mind to
the girl who had approprateditcmfw
the girl who had appropriated him,
which was perfectly excusable. 1t
never occurred to her that Billy had
made the mistake in the address on
purpose.
That evening there was an affection
ate meeting between Billy and his
best girl, and the next afternoon they
vent for a drive together. After that
Billy divided his attentions between
the two girls until another explosion
necessitated another device.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con
dition of the mucuous lining of the
~eustaeian tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollar
