b3 Of ,,4 Aiiwiir Tb Shaggy Monster Lacerated the Hunter Most Frightfully and Then Watched Over the llody Cntll HatUHed That Life Wae Estlnct. The name of a well known citizen of Humboldt county on (he Runs IIoum renter a few l;tys ago recalled to his friends the story of a leperate fight with grizzlies in the early days. It was iu the fall of 1851, and three starving tneh crawled through a thic growth of Hnmholdt connty timber an l found themselves facing eight monster grizzly bears. Goaded to desperation by hunger the men determined to attack the ferocious animal The heart of Thomas Sea bring failed as the little party drew near the beam, and he Bought ehelter by climbing a tree. The other men, S. K. Wood and Isaac Wilson, threw prudence to the winds and advanced to within fifty yards of the bears. Wood fired his rifle and the nearest bear fell, biting and tearing the ground as though in the agonies of death. While Wood was reloading his rifle Wilson brought down a bear. Five of the grizzlies retre;itd up a ravine, but one shaggy monster remained with her fallen companions. She sat erect on her haunches and turned her -yes on the men as if daring them to battle. Wilson, awed by her aspect, ran for a tree, while Wood tried to reload his gun, but found himself unable to ram the ball down on the powder. While in this pre dicament t'.ie grizzly that had not fled rushed at him. Wood succeeded in get ting into a small buckeye tree, and used his gun to beat the bear off as she at tacked the tree with the intention of shaking him out. IN THE JAWS OF A GRIZZLY. While he was engaged in fighting off this bear, Wood, to his horror, Baw the animal he had wounded rise and rush to , ward him. No blows that he could in flict on the wounded animal could check lier. At the first spring she made the tree broke and the bears jumped for Wood. He gained his feet and made with all speed down the mountain, where another small tree etood about thirty yards away. He reached the tree with the wounded bear at his heels, and, seiz ing the trunk, he swung his body around 60 as to give the bear room to pass him. which she did. plunging headlong down the mountain about twenty jmla. Before Wood could, with his failing strength, swing himself into the tree the eecond bear bounded up and seized his right ankle. Dy this time the wounded bear returned, and as Wood fell sue snapped at his face. He dodged, and she caught his left shoulder. Then commenced a terrific struggle. The maddened animals tugged in oppo site directions at Wood's ankle and shoul der, and he was in imminent danger of being torn to pieces. He fought as best be could, but each exertion he put forth only intensified the rage of the bears. When he was almost fainting with pain the bear that had not been wounded dropped his ankle and trotted slowly after his companions up the ravine. Then the wounded bear let go her hold on his shoulder. Wood sank back on the ground, and lay perfectly quiet as though dead, hardly daring to breathe. The grizzly stood majestically over him, watching for the slightest movement, and snarling with rage. The pain that racked the man's frame was frightful, and he risked his life in an effort to as sume an easier position. RESCUED IN BAD SHAPE. At the first movement the grizzly, roaring furiously, rushed at him. She shoved her nose close to his face and sniffed at him. but Wood was again mo tionless, and the bear, raising her head, gave vent to unearthly screams. Wood, knowing that his life depended on it. remained motionless, and the bear trotted after her companions up the ravine. When he attempted to rise Wood found that his right hip was dislocated and his left shoulder chewed to the bone, while his clothing had been stripped from his body and his flesh had been chewed in a hundred places. Inch by inch he pain fully dragged himself from the spot, un til Seabring and Wilson, accompanied by David A. Buck, the latter of whom had been left to guard the camp, found him and carried him to their quarters. At this spot the party remained twelve days, subsisting on the meat of the bear that had been killed. They were lost in the mountains, bnt finally Wood, despite his agony, insisted upon being tied to a horse and accompanying his friends in search for a path to civilization. During the ten days that followed, every step of the horse that Wood rode caused un speakable torture to the rider, but Wood bore it like a martyr, and an occasional groan was all the complaint that escaped his lips. Finally they found a road out of the mountains and reached the farm of Mrs. Mark West, thirty miles from Sonoma. where Wood was cared for. and in six weeks was able to join his friends in San Francisco. The injuries inflicted by the grizzlies made Wood a cripple for life and event ually were the cause of his death, and it was his son who told of this fight with the grizzlies.

J and unapproachable, hat a humorous tide and can tell a funny story, even when it's on himself, with a solemnity that is refreshing A member of the tragedian's company relates the following: "He once told me about a western experience of his in the fifties, booth wa- th-u the star of h certain (stock company playing the Cali fornia towns It was rough out there thc-n, and the same company did every thing from Hamlet' to a ong nnd dance all at the same theater aui often with in the same week. "In this company there was a your? man of much histrionic ialnt. who. pre vious to the advent of Booth, played the leading role, but who was thrown into the shade by the new star. Jealousy and hot words followed The manager an J the disappointed tragedian were contin ually at war over the distribution of part3. "When the time for producing 'Ham let' arrived it was found that the cast would necessarily muster into act every one from the ticket seller to the lamp man. The long suffering manager had resolved to punish the recalcitrant actor, and he was given the part of Guilden btern. "There was some muttering, but all went well enough until the opening night. The house was filled. The scenery was crude, and for that matter bo was the audience, but the applause was generous. Things reached a climax in the second scene of the third act, wfiere Rosencranz and Guildenstern are sent by the king to spy on the alleged madness of Hamlet. "The usual futile endeavors to get any information out of the melancholy Dane were gone through with and then, of course, came booth's powerful scene in which the musical instrument is intro duced (the pipe on this occasion being a clumsy tin affair, painted to suit the aesthetic soul of the property man). "The audience listened in breathless expectation, and the dialogue proceeded as follows: "Hamlet Will you play upon thi9 piper "Guildenstern My lord, I cannot. "II. I pray you. "G. Believe me, I cannot. "And here the proud Dane lifted him self erect, preparatory to hurling at Guildenstern that crescendo of mingled rage and scorn which begins with ' 'Tis as easy as lying, etc. But the crescendo never came. "Hamlet I do beseech you. "Guildenstern Then I don't mind if I do. "And seizing the obstreperous horn, he broke forth into a weird, unearthly strain of Yankee Doodle and what-not. " 'I stood there dazed,' said Booth, for it seemed to me hours, trying to con nect the lines or collect my thoughts so as to go on, but it was of no use, for the fiend with the horn kept right on with his refined torture, until at last, in 6heer mercy, the curtain went down to rise no more that night. " 'Mr. r- was promptly dismissed, but he had had his revenge.'" New York Recorder. The Maternal Instinct and Dogs. Dog woi'biiip is, as has been said, a fashion. It is, for the most part, an im itation, a pretense, in tne beginning at least, though it may become, often does become, sincere, serious to a degree, in jurious after a long indulgence. Un natural attachments, affections misdi rected are likely to bring their own re venges. They stray so far from fitness that they cannot return to the normal when they would, whatever the effort made. That dog worship is a fashion is shown by the fashionable women who regularly appear in the parks and public drives with tiny dogs on their laps or nestling against their bosoms. Often these women are unmarried. They give to dogs the care, the tender ness, the devotion they would give to babies had they borne them. It is plain ly the derangement and frustration of the maternal instinct, as is proved when they become mothers. Then they usually discard their four footed pets immedi ately and forget all about them. Junius Henri Browne in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Unique Tea Service. County Commissioner Tolman has an unique tea service. It includes not only the usual articles of a set the tray, plat ter, butter dish, sugar bowl, cream pitcher, cup and saucer, but also a caster, supplied with the usual cruets the whole made of wood. Two kinds of wood, black walnut and white wood, were employed in their manufacture, and the contrasted colors, which appear in even the covers of dishes and tops of cruets, have a beau tiful effect. The whole service is as use ful as any made of crockery, and was made by a skilled woodworker while confined in the county jaiL He agreed to make them for Mr. Tolman if the lat ter would furnish the material.

That an extraordinary amount of su perstition still exists in some of the ag ricultural counties, particularly in the west of England, has been demonstrated by circumstances which have come to light in connection with the death f a Taunton oracle, who was known throughout Somerset, Devon and Dorset as "Billy the Piper." He was for many years looked upon as the "Wizard of the West," and a large bundle of letters which were found in his house reveal to an astonishing extent the credulity of certain people in those parts. Billy, who was seventy-six years of age when he died, had lived in the same house for forty years. He commenced life by hawking pipes, but doubtless the acquaintance he formed with country folk while he was peregrinating with the bumble "clays" opened his eyes to their superstitious beliefs and induced him to pose as a past master of witch craft and fortune telling. And it was not only simple villagers who were reckoned among "Billy's clients. Farm ers and well-to-do people frequently con sulted him the former believing that he could cast disease out of their cattle; the latter regarding him as an infallible aid in the discovery and punishment df those who had done them wrong.

One man suggested that it was a fairy tale. Another man made every one tired by talking of malleable glass. He remarked that he once saw a Pittsburg lady in a glass gown. The manager, a distin guished Gallicist he once went to school with Tartarin at Tarascon said she never did wear glass slippers. "You see," he explained, "Cinderella was indebted to a translator's mistake for her uncomfortable pumps. This de lightful extravaganza was originally French, and the man who Englished it didn't know his business. The French words are pantoufles de vair' fur sap pers. Now the word for glass is Terre,' and the English chump got 'em mixed up." Chicago Tribune. Water for Cholera. Not long ago many physicians who had had experience in cholera main tained that water should be withheld as much as possible from the patients, and that those who drank freely were almost sure to succumb to the terrible malady. At the present time, however, it being universally acknowledged that cholera is a disease due to germs, a treatment that promises to be popular is to insist that the patients drink all the hot water possible, for the purpose of washing these germs out of the intestinal canal. Moreover, to take, at frequent intervals at first, large injections of hot water to favor this expulsion. Boston Herald. A Soldier's Hardships.
