Aunt Hulda's Bear
"Aunt Huldy had forae amailn'
p'ints," said the loquacious and rem-Inl.-H-ont
nian from the Knob country.
"So had that h'ar. lie was a Konuiu
sjM'ciment o' what the Knott tountry
could turn out in the way o' bar when
it pot out to do it, that h'ar was, and
he had born raisin' the very old Ned
amongst the pigs and farm projuce
generally fctr bo long, and had kep' so
regular and aggravatin'ly shet of all
the traps and tricks that was sot and
tried to waylay and circumvent him,
that at last what did old man Mose,
over to the Eddy, do but declare he
would give $20 in cash for that b'ar
fetched in dead, or $30 if anybody'd
run him in and hand him over alive.
"Alive! folks hollered when they
heerd of it. "Anybody that tries to
fetch that b'ar in alive,' they says,
will more than likely find their own
selves bein' fetched in dead!' they
Bays; but folks didn't know it all. and
they hadn't stopped to consider Aunt
Huldy.
" 'Jeptha,' says Aunt Huldy to Uncle
Jep one day, jest about that time;
"Jeptha, -says she, 'seems to me that
if I was you I'd sort o' take a holiday
this arternoon and wander over to'rds
Big Injin Swamp. Mebbe you mowt
run foul o' that pesky b'ar. Of course.'
seys she, 'you can't hardly expect to
get him alive, but all things being
mortal here below," says she, 'you
mowt accidentally git him dead. If
you do says she, 'it'll be $20, and $20
will buy a cow," says she.
"Uncle Jep didn't see but what
that'd be a proper idee, and he
knocked off stump-grubbin. took his
old smoothbore rifle and started out.
" 'Jonas went and borried that oth
er gun o mine, ding his pictur, and
hain't brung it back yit," says Uncle
Jep, as he started.
'"The b'ar '11 fetch jest ezac'ly as
much if you git it with the smooth
bore as it will if it had come a tumb
lin down before the gun that Jonas
borried," says Aunt Huldy. 'So don't
waste your time grumblin',' says she.
'Go look for the b'ar."
"So Uncle Jep went, sayin' that if
he got on to the trail o' the cunnin
old varmint he'd foller it if he had to
camp on it all night. He got over
jest this side o' Big Injin and hadn't
see no sign o that b'ar or any other
b'ar, and was beginnin to think that
if him and Aunt Huldy didn't git a
cow till they got it with the price o'
that b'ar they'd never quarrel about
who'd do the milkin', when he heerd
Eomethln' snort. He turned, and there
he see the b'ar, standin' right out in
plain sight, and actin as if he was
afeard Uncle Jep was goin on with
out aeein' him. Uncle Jep knowed it
was him, 'cause that b'ar was the only
one in the hull Knob country that had
a white spot on its brisket.
"'This is the first time I ever was
to a shootin match for a cow!' says
Uncle Jep, and the Idee tickled him so
that he had to take his gun down from
his shoulder till he could git through
his laughin'. 'A shootin match for a
cow, says he, and he hauled up a'gin
and whanged away at the white spoi
on the b'ar's chist.
"The b'ar give a start, felt of his
chist with one o' his paws as if some
thin was ticklin of him there, and
then turned a look on Uncle Jep, as
much as to say:
"'Look a-here, now! What a" you
handlin that gun so ding keerless
around here for?'
"The b'ar looked - mad, too, and Uncle
Jep was so took back at the unmiti-
'He Turned, an' Thar He See the
B'ar."
gated critter's not tumblin' and givin
his dyin' kick that the b'ar was com
in for him hot-foot before he had
even thought o' loadin his gun. And
the b'ar kep' him dodgin' and skirmish
in' 'niongst the trees for half an hour
before he could git a load into his
gun. And then see what that b'ar
done. Soon as he see that Uncle Jep
bad his gun loaded, the aggravatin'
bruin begun to dodge amongst the
.trees himself, and he done it so slick
and quick that Uncle Jep couldn't git
his gun onto him no way, and the
first thing he knowed the b'ar had
dodged out o' siht.
- 'IX that ain't a dirty, mean trick I
wouldn't say so!" says Uncle Jep.
"Sneakin away like that, you pig-steal-in'
thief o' the night, you!' says he.
'If I'd liad the gun that Jonas borried
and hain't brung back yit, I bet you
wouldn't a-ilone it, consarn his pictur!
Hut seuco I'm on your trail I'll foller
it, by cats, and show you Eome tricks
that maybe you hain't heerd on yit!'
says Uncle Jep, and he follered the
b'ar till night, and then bunked in at
Eli's, t'other side ,0' the swamp, so's
he could be on band early next morn
Tn' to show the b'ar them tricks.
"Aunt Huldy woke up in the night
some time and heerd the pig squeal-
"Pulled it Tight and Jumped Behind
the Big Pine Tree."
In'. She jumped out o' bed and run
to the winder. The moon was shinin
bright as day. Aunt Huldy jest give
one look, and then says:
'"B'ar arter the pig!' says she. 'A
sockin' big b'ar, and he'll have that
pigpen smashed down in less than a
jiffy,' says she. 'And there ain't a
gun in the house! If there was,' says
she, 'I'd sneak out and blow the top
o' that b'ar's head off,' says she. 'The
idee o' Jeptha lendin' his one gun to
Jonas, who hain't brung it back yit,
and then goin' off with t'other one
and campin' all night on a b'ar's trail!
Consarn that Jonas! If I had him
here I'd no. I wouldn't, neither!' hol
lers Aunt Huldy, who'd been looking
out o' winder all the time she was
talkin'. 'No, I wouldn't, neither!' she
hollers, clappin' her hands. 'It was a
smilin' Providence that made Jeptha
lend that gun to Jonas and kep Jonas
from fetchin' of it back!' she hollers,
and then she scooted down to the
kitchen, grabbed her clothes line, tied
a slippin noose in one end of it, and
started out on a run to'rds the pigpen.
"The b'ar stood on his hind feet
bangin away at the pigpen, and the
splinters was flyin' tremendous. Then
the door went smashin' in, and the
b'ar reached in an' yanked the pig
out. He hadn't much more than done
it, though, when from round the barn
Aunt Huldy come a rushin. She give
a yell. The b'ar dropped the pig like
a hot p'tater, and 'fore he could turn
and see what it was that had skeert
him Aunt Huldy dropped the noose
end of the clothes line down over his
head, pulled it tight, and jumped be
hind the big pine tree that stood jest
a comfortable jump away.
" 'It was a smilin Providence,' says
she, 'that made Jeptha lend his other
gun to Jonas and kep' Jonas from
fetchin of it back, says she, 'for oth
erwise me and Jeptha would be out
jest ten dollars!' says she.
"The b'ar come to himself and
sprung after Aunt Huldy. He slung
his big fore legs around the tree to
ketch her where she stood, holdin on
to the rope, and in less time than it
took him to fetch a good breath Aunt
Huldy had circled round that tree
enough times to bind him to the trunk
as snug and lastin as if he'd been a
knot growin' there., and she kep' right
on windin' the rope around him and
the tree till the rope was all used up
and the b'ar was a prisoner at the
stake.
"Then Aunt Huldy went back to bed
and was snorin' away as if nothin'
rore had happened than only jest git
tin' up to give the baby peppermint.
"Long in the forenoon o' next day
Uncle Jep come a-stracglin' home.
' 'Huldy,' says he, 'if it hadn't been
fer Jonas borrying that other gun o
mine and net fetchin' of it back, I'd a
killed that pesky b'ar dead, yisterd'y,
an' won them $20,' he says, 'ding his
ugly pictur's! he says, ineanin' Jonas.
""Well, Jeptha, says Aunt Huldy,
'it's an all-pervadin' good thing that
you didn't do it,' she says.
"'What fur?' says Uncle Jep, hard
ly believin' his ears.
" 'Why. 'cause if you'd 'a' killed that
b'ar dead yisterd'y, says Aunt Huldy,
I couldn't 'a ketched him alive last
night, says she.
'Arter Aunt Huldy got through
laughin' at Utcle Jep standin' there
starin' at her with his mouth f wide
open and his eyes almost bulgip she
took him out to t'other side o' the pig
pen, and there, sure enough, was the
rampagein' old b'ar that was worth
$30 alive tied so fast to the big pine
tree that lie couldn't hardly holler.
Uncle Jep JIdn't say nothin. He
couldn't. H Jest chopped down the
tree, trimmed the limbs offen It to
make it a log. hooked the steers to It.
and drug it and the b'ar over to the
Eddy. Old Mose forked over the $30
only too quick, and $10 betddes for the
pine log. so that Aunt Huldy and
Uncle Jep didn't only git their cow,
but they had quite a snug llgger to
stuff in the old coffee pot fer future
reference, besides. And what did
Aunt Huldy do? She made Jonas a
present of the borried gun and
thanked him fer borryin' it and not
fetchin' it back.
" 'Though I dunr.o as I ought to
thank you. neither,' she says to Jonas.
'It was a smilin' Providence that done
it.' she saye." Ed. Mott in New York
Times.
UP TO THE WHITE MAN.
Booker Washington Uses Clever Par
able to Make a Point.
Booker T. Washington's fund of
stories about his race, with which he
illustrates the points he makes in his
address, seems inexhaustible. A
Southerner asked him recently, when
about to address a Northern audience,
to prove to it that the Northerners
were responsible for the introduction
of slavery into the American colonies.
Mr. Washinston said that it was a
large contract, and told a story to
illustrate his view: "An old colored
man had a pig. which he sold one
morning to white man lor $3. The
white man drove off with his pur
chase, but on the road the pig es
caped and found its way back to
Uncle Zeke's cabin. A little later an
other white man came along, and
Uncle Zeke sold him the same pig for
another $3. On his way home with
the pig the second purchaser encoun
tered the first returning in search of
the escaped animal. After some
wrangling they decided to go back
and refer the question to the old
darky. 'Uncle Zeke,' said No. 1,
'didn't you sell me this pig at 9
o'clock this morning?' 'Sho' I did,
massa.' 'But, Uncle Zeke,' said No.
2, 'didn't I pay you $3 for this pig
at 12 o'clock?' 'Sho' you did. massa.'
'Well, then, who does the pig belong
to?' 'Sakes alive,' said Uncle Zeke,
'can't you white folks settle dat ques
tion between yo'selves?' "
PRICE TAG TOO PLAIN.
Why the Audience Giggled During
Author's Speech.
J. Ij. Harbour, the author, was once
invited to a very swell function, and
as he was dressing for the affair he
discovered that he did not have a
proper waistcoat. As he was to sit
on the platform as one of the honored
guests, and was to make a little
speech, he felt that he must look his
best. So he sent out for a white
waistcoat, which cost him $3.50. Com
pleting his. toilet, he set out for the
function.
All went well until, while he was
speaking, he brushed his coat a little
one side to put his hand in his trousers
pocket. Then those sitting in the
front rows in the 'audience tittered
Every time he made his gestures the
front rows giggled again. He was In
despair, but managed to finish his
speech. Going into an ante-room he
asked one of his friends: "Is any
thing wrong with me? What made
the audience giggle? Did I make a
break, or do I look funny!"
The friend looked him over and then
roared with laughter. Pushing Mr.
Harbour's coat a little to one side, he
said: "Look there, my dear fellow!"
Mr. Harbour "looked there," and on
his waistcoat he saw a tag, and on it
in conspicuous figures, $3.50. New

MR. POOLE AND THE PRINCE.
Tailor Who Made King Edward's
Clothes to Be Knighted.
Poole, the London tailor, is about
to receive the accolade. Why not?
Has he not done more to make Ed
ward VII presentable than all other
artists in the United Kingdom put to
gether? Clothes make the king as
well as the man. Poole makes the
clothes; ergo, Poole makes the king.
When Edward was simply prince of
Wales he owed Poole at times as
much as $100,000, and even suffered
the tailor to address him in public
places without fear of the tower.
There are several distinguished
Pooles in England, but none so
famous as Tailor Poole.
Speaking of Poole, one of his cus
tomers says: "His accounts are ren
dered once a year, just around
Christmas. If not paid, he waits
twelve months and sends a second
bill. Such as do not pay on receipt
of the second statement are dropped
from his books, and never again are
they allowed to give an order in his
establishment." New York Press,
Cost cf Painting Steamships.
So great is the size of a modern
transatlantic liner that the total area
to be covered every time it is painted
runs up into the acres. Thus to en
tirely paint the top sides of a big
steamship from water to rail calls for
enough paint to cover an acre of sur
face. About as much more is required
to paint the upper works, while the
big smokestacks call for over half an
acre of paint, and in the case of the
German steamships with four smoke
stacks the total area must be nearer
three-quarters of an acre. Since the
great ships of the first-class com
panies are painted every voyage, the
calculation shows that to keep the
one hundred or so vessels of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine com
pany in first-class shape requires the
painting of about "2,250 acres each
year at a cost of between $250,000 and
$500,000.
Origin of Ox-Tail Soup.
Ox-tail scup, now regarded as a na
tional English dish, was first made by
the very poor of Huguenot refugees
from France, after the revocation of
the edict of Nantes, because ox tails
then had no market value.

SKYLARKS LIVE IN OREGON.
Cnly State In the Union In Which
They Flourish.
The vexed question a to whether
Hkylarks have abandoned the I -add
tract In Hawthorne avenue or not has
been definitely and Fatlsfactorlly net
tied by li. L. Hawkins, who made an
investigation of the tract. Ho found
one pair of skylarks with a pnir of
young ones, and alao some horned
larks, another bird imported from
Europe when the skylarks and other
song birds were brought over. Thcro
is 110 longer any need for "depute
about this Hubject, and OregonianM cun
rejoice that their staio is the only one
in the union where skylarks flourMi.
It has been discovered that the
eason why the skylarks have deserted
one c; their haunts near the city lim
its Is that the tract where they used
to nest has been leased to Chinese,
who have started a, six-aero cucumber
patch there. Under such circumstan
ces the larks cannot be blamed for
going further into the country, as the
cucumbers grow so plentifully that
there is no room for the larks among
thorn. As long as the vines are kept
well stripped and none of the cucum
bers are allowed to ripen, new ones
are produced in great numbers, and a
single hill of vine will prod .ice four
buhhcls of "gheikins." People cannot
live without p'K.klcs, but they can get
along without music, so the larks must
go. Portland Orenonlan.
IS YOUR PIPE TIRAMALI?
If So, It Is Genuine, but It May Be
Something Else.
Meerschaum, tho beautiful white
earth which is used for expensive
pipes, is found in exceptional quanti
ties in the village of Brussa, in Asi
atic Turkey, where 2,0'mj small mines
are being worked now.
Most of the miners are Persians
and Kurds. They dig a hole into the
earth till they strike a bed of rod clay
in which the meerschaum lies in kidney-shaped
pieces, usually about as
big as a walnut and rarely larger than
an apple. After a piece is dug out of
the clay it is cleaned by scraping the
surface with a knife, and is then ready
for sale.
Every Friday the dealers gather,
and the meerschaum is sold In open
market. There are four qualities
tiramali, birembirlik, pambukli, and
:lakme. The buyers eome from Esk
ischehr, and about a dozen of them
control the market. They wrap the
meerschaum carefully in cotton and
5ell it for high prices. Only about
J.OOO pounds of Eskischehr meer
schaum are obtained in a year.
ORIGINAL" AND ACTUAL SIN.
Some Fine Distinctions Drawn by
Australian Children.
A wealthy Australian Scotsman
lamed Allan died some years ago and
bequeathed a considerable sum of
noney to provide perpetual prizes to
.he Presbyterian children of the com
monwealth for proficiency in Scriptur
al knowledge. The latest report of the
Allan Bequest committee, presented to
the Presbyterian General Assembly in
Melbourne, contains some entertain
ing reading. "What is the difference
between original sin and actual sin?"
elicited these answers among others:
"Original sin is Adam eating forbid
den fruit; actual sin is Cain killing
Abel." "One is good sin; the other
s bad sin." "Original sin Is sin with
Dut murder; tut actual in is sin,
meaning swearing." "Original sin Is
the things we ought not to do." "Ac
tual sin means a want of obedience;
but original sin is a work of provi
dence."

A recent improvement In railroad
