HOW TO CAGE A BEAR.

Show Him Carrots and Bread and
Lead tho Way to His Den.
Escapes of animals from their cagcs
in geological gardens and m@"H%eries
are fortunately rare. When they do
occur the work of recapturc Is set
about in n buslnesslike fashion, and
the prison breaker is generally cap
tured before anything Is known out
side.
In the periodical issued by the man
agement Of the Brc&iau garden an
amusing story Is told Of IN incident Of
this kind. Some years ago, on Il fine
autumn morning, just after the gates
were opened there was n loud knock.
ing at the pay window. and. in reply to
the inquiry Of the money takcr who
presented himself, n man In Il state Of
great excitement said that as he was
walking on the oder bank he had seen
through the p~alisading n large bear
loose in the grounds. Greatly obliged
to you, sir" was the reply. 1--WE know
that already; that bear goes for n walk
every morning and rel rms to its cage
before the visitors coma ill.,"
The man went away quite satisfied.
The official. who knew the real state OF
the case. at once ordered the gates to
be closed. and the director was at once
Informed that the bear was loose. II
was Il serious matter, for the bear had
killed the keeper in n travelling menag-
erie and for that reason was sold to
the geological garden. Moreover, when
q mate had been put I'm with him she
soon fell q 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-
gence In leaving a door unfastened had
caused the trouble made his appear
ance. His only reply to the reproaches
Of the director for allowing the bear to
escape was, well, we shall have to
get him i'm 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 It's
attention and by throwing down food
enticed it to the back Of the bear dens.
Here the man entered through a small
door by which new arrivals were put
into the cages. He was closely follow
ed by the bear, but reached the middle
of the cage before 1t had scrambled
through the small opening. Then he
dropped on the floor the rest of the
food he had I'm his apron and made his
way out Of the cage, which was at
once securely fastened in front and Mt
the rear. Thus the incident, which
might have had serious consequences,
ended happily for those on whom the
responsibility rested.-London Field.

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

Sheridan's Speech In Connection With
the Hastings Trial.
Answering Il 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. Sherl-
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 unfollowed 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. y, 1887.
1.-THE fame Of the speech was such
that when the trial came on ESQ was
gladly paid for Il seat In the hall on
the day Of Sheridan's speech as a
manager OF the impeachment. Macau.
lays account of that speech, which In
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 Il later stage In the
t~rial-six years later, In fact-Sheridan
delivered another speech which was
described by one Of the auditors as an
extraordinary rhetorical triumph"

sTONlNG A TIGER.
The Punishment Of a Man Eater That
Killed a Tibetan.

Fifty years ago tigers were very com
mon even In the high hills of western
Tibet, writes G. A. Sherrlng In his ac-
count of that country. At the present
time, however, owing to the increase
OF population and the general spread of
cultivation, they have become rare.
and the appearance of n man eater
who carried off n poor old woman on
the slope of Chipla created consterna-
ton.
On the following day there were
gathered together a hundred grim men,
armed only with aXes and stones, for
they had not a gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave, for the
tiger was found asleep under a rock.
AT once each man dropped silently into
the cover of the brushwood and piled
a heap OF stones near TO his hand,
while n of the most trusted OF the
party was commissioned to stalk to
the top Of the rock and drop Il huge
stone on the sleeping brute.
So well was the work done that the
stone fell true on tho tigers back, and
Immediately, with u roar, the wounded
beast sprang up and, seeing his ene-
niles, who leaped from their cover,
charged tho line.
But Il hundred men. desperate as to
consequences, throwing stones with
might and main, arc not to be awed or
turned from their psrpose lightly. Tho
stones broke the tigers teeth and went
into his mouth. and his body soon be.
came q mass of wounds,
Turning, he tried to escape and took
his pursue:s up hill for n mile, but
wherever he paused and whatever no
did no could not escape the pltiless
rain OF missiles. The blow on his back,
first given, effectively checked his
speed. and finally, worn out, he came
10 bay under a great cliff.
The rest was easy. lie was immedi-
ately hemmed In, ana the stones were
showered on him thicker than ever and
hurled with redoubled energy. As he
sank down the villagers rushed In and
dispatched him with their axes. -

Can We Pull Anythina?

Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng
lish scientist, said In n lecture that
there Is NJ such thing as pulling. To
speak Of u horse pulling II cart was, he
said, incorrect. The horse did not pull
the cart. 1t pushed against Its collar
and thereby produced motion In the
cart. Similarly the oarsman pushed
the water, and the man drawing n
handcart had to clasp the handle, and
the driving force was caused by the.
part which clasped the handle and was
therefore behind 1t. Even If the cart
was fastened to the mans coat tail he.
did not pull 1t. He pushed against hls

THE MAKING OF A BOY.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

Said Superintendent Il. X. Wharton
of the Friendly Inn, Cleveland, o., to
Louis Vosburg, aged seventeen years:
you car do anything in life that you
really want 10 do"
That was eighteen months ago. Vos-
burg was a butchers boy, making $12
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, a 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, If 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 a ~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. lie has been made to see the
possibilities of life. Things appear to
him in their proper perspective. He
sees that there is n power inside Of
him that Is able to overcome his old en-
vironment. 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 I'm some boys than in 9th
ers.
But
If You want earthly Immortality you
can find It by helping some boy to find
himself.
