that one county of the United States

Franklin K. Lane, one Of the interstate

A New One on conners.

Fingy Corners Is an irrepressible
soul. Tact and he have nothing in
common. A few evenings ago he met
Charles Bissellsin a crowded hotel and
bounced upon him with reckless
joviality "a
"Hello-o-o, Charley" he cried. How
the deuce are you, Ell? How's Herb?
How's-"
Mr. Bissell was worried. He pined
for decorum. At his side was Justice
Brewer of the United States supreme
court at Washington, reserved, silent,
dignified. Mr. Bissefl was inspired to
use his majestic personality as a
quench of Ffngy's exuberance.
"Mr. Corners" he said "let me pre-
sent you to Justice Brewer"
"How's the health?" asked Ffngy,
giving the hand of the judge per-
functory shake. Then, stepping back
SO as to afford more range to his
glance Of disapproval, he looked at
Mr. Justice Brewer very coldly, and,
turning to Mr.. Bissell. said:

DANGEROUS FORM OF SPORT.
Bear an Ugly Customer to Deal With
at Close Quarters.

Twice In my chase of bruin have
made use of a bear spear as my
weapon of attack" writes Count Eric
Won Rosen, land 1 may take this OPP
portunity TO maintain that the use of a
spear entails no greater cruelty than
any other mode of attack, and that
every hunter should be armed with
one in reserve, since these powerful
beasts have vitality that triumphs
over a stray bullet or more, unless
lodged in vital region; and when
wounded, their retaliation is redoubta-
BILE and easily fatal. In Karelia, Fin
land, the bear is yet regarded as a
noxious horror. The great black-halred
'slagbjorn,' or killing bear, is still ram
pant there, and couple of winters
back 1 was able to wreak justif1able
vengeance on some beasts that had
killed over score of cows and nine
horses. News had been brought me
that some of these rascals were hiber-
mating on q small marsh-bound island.
1--WE found no difficulty in locating
their lair. and took up my post at the
entrance to 1t, armed only with my
spear. I may explain that bear
spear consists of an ash staff some
two yards long and about couple of
inches In diameter; there is blade
of steel about twelve inches in length,
and the shaft Is copper-cased as pre-
vention against the teeth of bruin. AS
soon as my gentleman appeared tried
to stick him in the throat, but he par
ried adroitly and I missed; made an
other lunge and succeeded in driving
my spear point through his breast.
''He started roaring furiously and
snapped at my copper-cased staff,
then made an attempt to strike at my
arm with his huge forepaw, SO that l
might drop my weapon. The powerful
brute hung on to my spear at one end,
while as grimly held on at the other
copper plate and he started shredding
the wood beneath. Strenuously
checked his further advances, and
gradually, for his wounds began to tell
his resistance weakened, and he
dropped at last over the aperture OF
his den.
II pulled out the spear, but so much
still remained in him that he seized
the blade and bit it with force that
left deep indentations in the steel. My
companion then finished him of with
his own weapon. This struggle from
start to finish covered five minutes"

Shark lmpaled by Steamer.

A shark of the enormous species
which haunts the Red sea was the
cause of an extraordinary incident in
the passage of the liner Oroya of the
Orient Royal Mail line from Sydney to
London. The liner had just rounded
the islands of Perrin, when it was
found that a huge tiger shark was
firmly fixed on the bow of the vessel
The shark, which was estimated to be
from % feet to rs feet in length, strug
gled in vain to free itself, beating vio
lently with it's tail on the starboard
side of the liner. Its head was twist
ed round the port bow. Eventually the
Oroya reversed her engines and the
shark got free and disappeared in the
depths, leaving track of blood from
the wound in it's side where the prov
of the ship had struck.

Two Pounds of Sausage.

A gentleman of the old school he
was. tall and stately; but he con-
cerned himself overmuch with the
family marketing. He rode not in a
'one-hoss shay" but in a two-horse
street car. This fact is not an indica-
ton that the tale is as remarkable as
its hero. but merely that the town in
which he lived and moved and mar
keted was very like the proverbial
chaise in the measure of its horse
power.
He counted all the inhabitants
among his friends. The fact was borne
in upon him as ban rather than a
blessing when two pounds Of fresh
country sausage sprang of Its own
volition from his overladen basket
and recoiled itself on the single top
plate of small coal heater that had
never before done duty as a cooker.
The sausage sizzled on, while our
enthusiastic marketer, removing his
glasses, courtesied to the amused
spectators.
