SPEARING A BEAR.

Bruins Sharp Teeth BIT Through the
Copper Shoathed Weapon.
'"rwiue in my chase Of bruin l have

Oh Of attack" writes Count Eric Won
Rosen, land I may take this opportu-
nifty to maintain that the use Of a
spear entails no greuter cruelty than
any other mode of attack and that
every hunter should be armed with
one in reserve, since these powerful
beasts have a vitality that triumphs
over stray bullet or more unless
lodged in d vital region, and when
wounded their retaliation is redoubta-

vengeance on some beasts that had

another lunge and succeeded in driv-

"He started roaring furiously and
snapped at my copper cased staff, then
made an attempt to strike at my arm
with his huge fore paw, so that l
might drop my weapon. The powerful
brute hung on to my spear at the one
end, while 1 as grimly held on at the
other end. His bites went through the
copper plate, and he started shredding
the wood beneath. Strenuously

gradually, for his wounds began to

dropped at last over the aperture Of

A MAN OF ACTION.
He Got Out of His Tight Corner With
Flying Colors.

He Got Out of His Tight Corner With
Flying Colors.
He was husband who, when he left
home for week or so on business
trip, invariably took with him photo
of his wife, and in the)letters that he
wrote to her he always made, great
point Of this portrait and dwelt upon
the fact that the sight of it was the
only thing that kept his spirits up
when he was far away from her.
One day, however, he left the home
and forgot to take the portrait with
him. But he was not going to let a
little thing like that worry him.
Down he sat and penned his GUS
tomary amorous epistle, In which the
portrait played its usual part. 1t was
not until the letter was posted that he
remembered that the portrait had been
left at home in a conspicuous place
where his wife could not fail to dis
cover 1t.
The fat was indeed in the fire, but
he was a man Of action and deter
mined to get out Of his tight corner
somehow. BE remembered the shop
where the photo had been taken and
promptly wired there for another
copy, which he had put into a beauti-
full frame especially adapted for trav-
cling.
On his return home his wife handed
out the freezing mixture" to begin
with and then dissolved in unquench-
able tears. When under cross exam
nation she admitted that the cause OF
her grief was his cruel deception, he
produced the newly acquired photo
and then asked her. in a hurt voice,
how she could possibly have suspected
him of working off mere tarradiddle
on his little wife.--New York Mail.

Grinstead's Story.
The Judge, who has spent most of
his mature age in western Kansas,
took great deal of delight in telling
of how he investigated his case. Com
ing to Topeka he went into the real
estate offices stating he was from Ken
ing what they had in Kansas land.
''The stories the land men gave me
about western Kansas, the water
courses, the timber, and rich grasses,
the great crops and rainfall were al
most too much to contain without
bursting out laughing. Hadn't I been
out there twenty years living on jack
rabbits and buffalo grass! One man
even opened up a box of buffalo grass
seed and explained all about it to me.

Waited Too Long to Get SharpeFs.
1t was almost o'clock last night
when Judge Grinstead decided he had
gathered enough evidence to ask as
sistance in trapping the men. He ap-
pealed to Chief of Police Eaton and
County Attorney Schenck: He had
seen the men. The chief had later
seen one of them. But they deferred
grabbing them because Grinstead
counseled waiting to get the whole
tribe. In order to prevent the men
from getting out of town police Off
GERS were detailed to watch all depots

fast as possible but with such a big
amount ahead of him it is hard to see
how he can carry on the work within
the scheduled time. He first had
trouble getting brick and then had
trouble with a "canal" street. But all
of these things are supposed to be fig
ured out in the contract.
Winter Will Catch Them.
Winter will break in on these con-
tractors some of these days and then
their losses from frost and time will be
startling. Nothing can be done with
cement curbs when there is a heavy
frost and the filling between brick work
is hard matter when the workmen
have to put hot asphalt into cracks be-
tween cold bricks. 1t can be done but
the work is not satisfactory. The con-
tractors claim that they cannot get
men. This is another feature that is
supposed to be included into the fore
sight, when the contractor takes his
contract

TO STATE PRISON.
Hackney and His Sweetheart Must
Answer for Robbery.

Two full days work in the district
court were required to send Bill
Hackney alias North, and his sweet
heart Lula Reeves, colored, to the
penitentiary for robbing a Mexican,
Francisco Abila, of $40.
The robbery took place one Sunday
in April when Abila came down from
his Rock Island job at MacFarland'
to spend his pay. The colored sweet
hearts had been spending the month
there but came along to get the Mex
leans earnings when they got to To-
peka. Abila and the rest of the Mex
leans knew the pair well enough at
MacFarland where the camp was.
The two met Abila in Topeka and
told him he could get booze at Jube
Jordan's dive down on Monroe street
They all went down and found many
others there The Mexican bought
drinks for all and all got somewhat
drunk-men and women. During the
course of the entertainment the Mexi-
can was robbed. Later he was drag
ged to a colored restaurant by Hack
ney, who told the landlady to feed
him and he would pay for it. That
was one strong point brought out by
the prosecution Why would Hackney
offer to pay If he had not known the
Mexican had no money? The Next
can had had $40 buying drinks, but
a short time before.
Besides the two, Geo. Thompson,
lube Jordan, and Phil Chesney, all
colored, were held to be tried. When
the trial was half over, however, the
discharged and they were used as
state witnesses-to little use, how
ever. The preponderance of evidence
wa9 with the prosecution.
The jury was out six hours before
reaching their verdict.

WARSHIPS KEEP PEACE.
Are Nations Greatest Safeguard, Says
Admiral Seymour.

New York, Sept. 25.-Admiral of the
Fleet Sir E. H. Seymour, in command
of the British squadron attending the
Hudson Fulton celebration, declared in
an interview that warships are the
81 eates1 safeguards for peace.
1.-THE present assembIage of the fleets
of all nations is a great factor in the
promotion of peace he said. 1T gives
each nation an opportunity to see for
itself how strong and well prepared
the other nations are. and that prevents
war or thoughts of war.
'It Is not difficult to understand that
with the growth of the navies of the
civilized nations the possibilities of war
have been so greatly decreased that an
armed conflict of any kind seems hardly
within the bounds of possibility. The
interests of the civilized world are be-
coming more and more united every
Gay. The great nations ere all in hor-
mony. I sea nothing but peace and
advancement in the future.
There exists now an almost unbreak-
able bond between the civilized nations
