HOW TO CAGE A BEAR.

Chow Him Carrots and Bread and

Escapes of animals from their cages
in geological gardens and m""ageries
are fortunately rare. When they do
occur the work of reCapturc is set
about in q buslnesslike fashion, and

the inquiry Of the money taker who
presented himself, a man In Il state Of

The man went away quite satisfied.

was n serious matter, for the bear had
killed the keeper in a travelling menag-
erie and for that reason was sold to
the geological garden. Moreover, when
q mate had beer put I'm with him she
soon fell a victim to his bad temper.
While the authorities were considering
the best steps to take to recapture the
bear-for they were loath to shoot such
a fine animal-the keeper whose negli-

caused the trouble made his appear

Of the director for allowing the bear to
escape was, well, we shall have to
get him in again"
He went off to the storeroom, filled
his apron with carrots and bread and
then sought the bear. When he saw
the animal he called out to attract Its
attention and by throwing down food
enticed it to the back Of the bear dens.
Here the mar entered through n small
door by which new arrivals were put
into the cages. He was closely follow

of the cage before 1t had scrambled
through the small opening. Then ne
dropped on the floor the rest of the
food he had in his apron and made his

ended happily for those on whom the
responsibility rested.-London Field

A RHETORICAL TRIUMPH.
Sheridan'a Speech In Connection With
the Hastings Trial.

Sheridan'a Speech In Connection With
the Hastings Trial.
Answering n correspondent who ask.
ed about the speech of Sheridan In con-
nection with the Warren Hastings
trial, the London News says:
"That immense oratorical triumph
was certainly not reported In the notes
in question, for the Dude Speech was
not delivered during the trial. Sheri-
dan pronounced II IN the house of COM
mons In the year before the trial In
moving that the Dude charge should
be one OF the articles Of the impeach.
ment.
"No speech recorded In our history
ever had such a reception. The entire
house and all In the galleries violated
the traditions of parliament and set a
precedent that remains unf0llowed by
clapping furiously and continuously,
Pitt, fully conscious Of the extraor.
binary state of excitement disclosed by
this breach Of decorum, moved the ad-
journment on the unparalleled ground
that the minds Of members were too
agitated to discuss the question with
GOODNESS and judicially.' Sheridan had
spoken for five hours and forty min
utes. No full report Of the speech
exists. The best appeared In the Lon
don Chronicle for Feb. g., 1887.
1.-The fame Of the speech was such
that when the trial came on ESQ was
gladly paid for II seat In the hall on
the day Of Sheridan's speech as a
manager Of the impeachment. Macau'
lays account Of that speech, which is
both misleading and inaccurate In sew
eral respects, at least permits us to
know the fact that the speaker was
publicly embraced by Burke on resum'
ing his seat. At a later stage In the
trial-six years later, In fact-Sheridan
delivered another speech which was
described by n Of the auditors as an
extraordinary rhetorical triumph"

Said Superintendent II. Il. Wharton
of the Friendly Inn, Cleveland, o., to
Louis Vosburg, aged seventeen years:
"You can do anything in life that you
really want TO do"
That was eighteen months ago. Vos-
burg was a butchers boy, making $40
per month. He had his home in the
notorious "Andes alley" and was ut
terly without ambition.
This young man took absolutely no
thought for the future. He had enough
to eat, n place to sleep and a chance to
spend his wages as fast as he drew
the money.
He had no envy of the young men
who were pushing to the front. He
probably thought, IL he thought at all,
that these young men had some sort Of
pull or graft" Of some kind. That
he should aspire to do better never
entered his head until Mr.. Wharton
put the idea there.
Today young Vosburg is still a
butchers boy at $12 Il month-and
more. He has an ambition. He Is
Louis Vosburg plus. The plus Is am
bition.
He no longer lives In Andes alley.
Somehow the old quarters did not fit
in with his new plans. He is attend
ing night school and saving his mon
ey. Next fall he will enter college.
Young Vosburg has decided to be an
architect.
A SIMPLE SUGGESTION CHANG
ED THE WHOLE TENOR OF THE
BOYS LIFE.
Everything is different to Louis Vos-
burg. He has been made to see the
possibilities of life. Things appear to
him in their proper perspective. He
sees that there is a power inside Of
him that Is able to overcome his old en-
yironment. He sees that determination
of soul Is greater than circumstances.
There has been implanted within him
q divine discomfort.
Blessed Is that man who put q laud-
able ambition In the soul Of Louis Vos-
burg.
Blessed are you II you are able to
make a boy see what he can do with
his life-HELP HIM COME TO HIS
OWN.
or course much depends upon the
DIVINE YEAST that lies dormant In
the nature of every boy. There is more
to work on in some boys than in 9th
ers.
But
II you want earthly Immortality you
can find 1t by helping some boy to find
himself.

OBITUARY OF G A MCQUEEN
G. A. McCuen was born in Elders
| vile, Penn, February 20, 1922. When
ten years old he moved with his par.
ents to Ohio, where in lS49 he married
Sarah j. Snodgrass. Three children,
two daughters and a son, were born Of
| this union; of these one, a daughter, is
| deceased. In 1852 Mr.. McCuen moved
to Iowa and the following year buried
his wife. September rs, 1856, he war
married to Margaret Shines. To them
were born six sons andthree daughters,
| Of whom five sons and two daughters
survive him, with their mother, to
mourn their mutual loss. In 1876 Mr..
McCuen located in Lincoln township,
Audubon county, where he resided un'

to Avoca to live with their daughter,
Mrs. Pickrell. In 1908 they moved tic
Leeds, a suburbOf Sioux City, residing
there for two years, when failint
health brought them back to their
daughters home in Avoca. March /,
1909, both families moved to Naper,
Neb., where his death occurred June 2,
after a brief illness. The remains
were brought to Manning for burial in
the family lot in the Manning cemetery
The funeral services were held in the
M. E. church at 4 u. m. Friday, June 4,
Rev. Harvey preaching the sermon
from Psalm 90:12.
Brother McCuen was converted in
early manhood and united with the M.
E. church, of which he continued a
member until locating in Audubon
| county, when there being no M. E,
church near, he joined the United
Brethren church. On moving to Leeds
he transferred his membership to the
| M. E. church at that place. where his
name continued until death. For over
sixty years he lead a Christian life,
helping in all church work to the limit
of his time and strength, being es,
pecially interested in the singing.
Being endowed by nature with a melod,
ious voice, he led in singing the songs
of Zion for many years. Only a few
days before his death he made a selec,
ton of hymns to be sung at his funeral,
and one of his last requests was for
music.
Owing to age and infirmities Mrs.
McCuen was unable to accompany the
remains, but a number of the children
were present and followed the body to
its last resting place.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, for they rest from their labors
and their works do follow them. W.
