A Fijrlit With a Monster Grizzly-
Pursued by a Lioness A Story of
the War.
JOHN HOUSTON, a retoran bear
hunter, says ia the San Fran
cisco Chronicle that the grizzly
bears of British Colombia are
much larger than those of California.
He says:
"The most memorable experience 1
ever had in following a grizzly wan in
the summer of 1875, when I was new
to bear hunting. I was out with a
half breed Sioux Indian in a sparsely
timbered region ncrth of Dakota in
the Manitoba country. We were
among a lot of heavy brush one morn
ing, when we suddenly came upon the
largest grizzly indeed, the largest
bear I had ever seen. My Indian
companion was about thirty years of
age, a perfect type of a muscular and
ejnewy hunter. He did not know
what fear was, and was an cool and un
moved in the presence of a maddened
grizzly as one would be at a dying
coyote. At the same time he had the
caution and hesitation of all good half
breed hunters in attacking a grizzy,
and at once looked for every point of
vantage in the surroundings, in case
we should be compelled to come to
close quarters with the bear. Our ap
pearance in the opening had been a
surprise to the bear, which was en
gaged in tearing with its great front
claws a hollow log to pieces in search
of squirrels.
"After recovering from its first sur
prise, tbe bear towered aloft on its
hind feet and relieved itself of a few
roars, that were not reassuring for our
comfort. It threw its foropaws straight
above its head, and for an instant
stood as if about to charge fiercely
upon up. It probably had suoh inten
tion, but as it stood erect a vulner
able and vital part exposed of which
parts there are few on a grizzly bear
my Indian companion took cool and
quiet aim and sent a ball into the
vitals of the huge bear, which gave
two or three powerful blows with its
forepaws on the wounded part, ac
companying them with its well-known
roar or howl, and fell dead without
moving out of its tracks.
"The bear had hardly touched the
ground, the Indian's rifle being still
raised in readiness to ponr a second
charge into the animal's body if the
first had not proved sullioient, when
there came a load crash off to our
right in the brush, and before either
of os was prepared for what followed
it, I saw my hall-breed guide raised
clear from his feet, hurled through
the air for three or four yards and fall
in a heap on the ground near the bear
he had killed. A second grizzly had
heard the cries of the one the Indian
had shot, and, notwithstanding the
allegations made by most writers on
the habits of the animal, that one of
them will not voluntarily attack a man,
came dashing to the spot and had not
waited to look into the cause of the
trouble, but had taken a hand in it at
once. The bear paid no attention
whatever to me, but followed up his
attack on my companion. The Indian
did not need auy further intimation to
know what he had on hand, and he was
on his feet again with amazing quiok
ness. The blow from the bear's paw
had torn the flesh from his left cheek
and side of his head, and it hung in
strips down on his neck. The Indian's
gun had been forced from his hand.
The blood poured from his head and
faoe in streams. He quickly drew his
short-handled hunting ax, which was
in his belt, and awaited the charge of
' the bear, which was fully as big as the
one that lay dead on the ground. The
charge was to terrible that it must
have borne down half a dozen stalwart
men, and consequently my strong and 1
muscular companion waB no more than
as a reed in a gale before it He went
down, and the grizzly stood over him
and glared and growled, as if enjoying
the hunter's peril and rejoicing over
. the fate that awaited him.
"These inoi lents had all occurred
with such rapidity that i had not had
, time to think, let alone act, but when
I aaw tbe Indian lying at the mercy of
the great brute that would crush him
to death at the next blow of his terri
ble paw, I knew that his life depended
on my coarse. Mechanically I sprang
forward, and plaoing the muzzle of
my rifle almost in the bear's right ear
as he stood glaring at and gloating
over his victim, pulled both triggers.
No mere effective shot was ever fired.
The heavy bullets plowed through the
grizzly's brain and forced the top of
his great head off like the lid of a ket
tle. The huge brute, although he
most have died almost instantly, actu
ally remained standing for at least a
minute, as he had stood when I fired,
one immense paw raised to give the
fatal blow to his prostrate victim, and
at last fell over the side of the Indian,
with the foreleg thrown over the hunt
er's breast. The gigantio half-breed
Indian was unconscious, and remained
so for several minutes. His left side
had been crashed by the bear's second
charge, a?d the poor fellow was
bruised and torn shockingly in other
places. 1 got him safely to our quar
ters, and it was a month before he got
around again. He was terribly dis
figured, the one side of his face being
a ghastly scar, but he recovered his
former strength, and the last I ever
heard of him he was still hunting
grizzlies, and many had fallen under
bis deadly aim since his close call in
thw poplar woods, when my timely
shot saved bis life. '
Pursued by a Lioness.
Lord Delamere, an Englishman, who
has spent several years hunting in
Bomalilanu, and who ban killed more
than 200 lions, tells number of in
teresting stories auout tne sport in a
recent issue of the Badminton Maga
zine. One of the incident concerned
a native, and his narrow escape from
a wounded beat.
A native had returned to the camp
and told Lord Delamere that a Hones
had been seen in a nearby thicket,
and a j ty was organized to go after
her. The incident is related as fol
lows: "After a short ride we got to the
place and found the tracks of the lion
ess going into a long strip of high,
feathery grass. We could find no
tracks coming out so we concluded to
burn the patch. It was perhaps 200
yards long and fifty broad. I could
not command the whole of it, so I told
the men to light it at the top and along
one side, and Abdulla and I took our
station half way down tbe other side
and about thirty yards from tbe edg
of the grass.
"At the bottom edge I put a warrior
on a pony to see if the animal broke
oover that way. A great part of the
grass was burnt before thero was anj
sign of the lioness. Then I caught
sight of her slinking along through
the thin grass at the edge of the 6trip
going toward the bottom end, . She
did not see us as we were rather be
hind her and were standing still.
"When I shot she seemed to stumble
forward, but recovering herself caugh
sight of tbe man on the pony, and be
fore I could shoot again she was half
way to him and going like a flash. He
had not seen her when I shot, as she
was hidden by the grass, and by the
time he had turned his pony around
and started she was olose to him. II
darted straight away from me and I
dared not fire at the lioness for fear of
hitting him.
"For nearly 200 yards it looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the pony's tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and at length
the pony began to gain on her. She
at once pulled up and turned into a
brush where she lay down, stretched
out at full length, panting. Running
up I shot her before she could prepare
for another effort.
"The natives said that the reason
she did not catoh the pony is because
a lion oannotspring without a moment
ary halt. If this ii so a pony oould al
ways get away from a lion galloping
straight behind it, unless the pony was
snoh a bad one that the lion could
come alongside. "
Hunters feel safe when on a pony
and in the open. There is really no
danger if the pony is not too tired and
if the lion is kept at a distance so that
the pony can get started if the animal
charges. Unless wounded, lions are
inclined to run from a man either on
foot or on a pony, exoept when, very
hungry.
A Story of the War.
"A falling tree gave me about as
bad a scare as I had during the war,"
said Horace J. Hoffman, formerly ol
Chicago, now a New York business
man.
"We went into camp at Kenesaw
Mountain late one afternoon.' I
picked out a place to pitch my tent,
but when ready to pitch it had changed
my mind and put it a rod away, near
the ditch dug in putting up the line ol
breastworks. A large chestnut tree
had been twioe shot through by can
non balls. One of the men said the
tree had better be chopped lest it fall
upon the tents in the night, but the
proposition was voted down. Just at
dark one of those sudden Southern
wind and rain storms came up. There
was hustling to get tents up. I direct
ed a man to hasten with the company
books to the chest. He was hurrying
to get his tent ready for occupancy
and went away grumbling. When he
got back the chestnut tree had fallen
on his partly pitched tent and killed
two men. But for his journey with the
company books he, too, would have
been crushed. After helping to re
cover the slain comrades he came to
me and said : 'By heavens,
I'll never grumble again.'
didn't, during the wir, so
Hoffman,
And he
far as I
Know."
"How did the fallen chestnut scare
you?"
"It fell right where I had first d.
oided to looate my tent. That change
of mind saved my life. I was Bale and
shaky for an hour after I saw how
close I had been to a final settlement
of earthly acoounts. Whistling bul
lets and soreeohing shells ware never
favorites with me, but they nevj gave
me such a shock and fright as that tree
did." Chicago Times-Herald.
With Whale and Sword Pish.
Among the narrow escapes from
whales perhaps the most remarkable
is an instance of a large whale, which,
when struck, sunk, striking beneath
the boat of three lone fishermen. The
men quickly pulled it to one side,
while the whale shot over ten feet into
the air, so that for a moment it poised,
sixty or eighty tons of vigorous life,
directly over the boat. But its inertia
carried it beyond them, where it fell ;'
its tail not ten feet from the boat, al
most swamping it by the terrifio up
heaval of water all about.
Several years ago a sailor was sitting
in a dory fishing off the Long Island
coast, when up through the bottom of
the boat came a blade two or three
feet long, cutting through the wood
work as keenly as would a eteel blade,
and running up the trouser leg of the
fisherman, coming out in a wide rent
at the knee without injuring him inj
the least. Though naturally surprised,;
he seized the sword and made it fast
to the seat by a rope, and finally!
caught the sword fish that had coma
within a few inches of giving him a
deadly wound.
In this case as others, nerve ami
self control were equally Important.
Hal the fisherman become demoralized
the iish might have widened the brea

HE SAW LINCOLN KILLED,
ITOBT OF THE OP.CHESTEA LEAD
. E3 AT FOKD'3 THEATKE.
Merced by Kooth's Itazser Just After
the ProKllent Had IJeen Mint
Down A Graphic Recital.
YT'TILLIAM WITHERS, Jr.
now orchestra leader at
V V Daly's Theatre in New
York, held a similar posi
;ion in Ford's Theatre, Washington,
t the time President Lincoln was
ihot down by John Wilkes Booth.
Every time Mr. Withers goes to Wash
ington he is requested to tell the
story, and although many and varied
are the lecitals of this thrilling event.
his account is somewhat different from
the others. Here is the story as he
tells it in the Washington Post:
"I was leader of the orchestra at the
time, and as the President was to wit
ness the performance of 'Our Ameri
can Cousin,' I thought that as befitted
the occasion I would compose a song.
Bo I did. It was entitled 'Honor to
Our Soldiers, and dedicated to the
President. This was to be sung be
tween two of the acts by a quartette I
had engaged and the entire company,
who were to be attired in the Ameri
can colors.
'As I was on my way to tho theatre
I met John Wilkes Booth just in front
of George Harry's saloon, which ad
joined the theatre. It was a sultry
night, and Booth had his overcoat
iver his arm. 'Good evening, Billy,'
he said. 'Come and have something?'
"As I was leaving to enter the the
ktre Booth remarked: Til witness
the performance to-night.' I noticed
nothing strange about his demeanor,
and subsequently saw him as I was
coming out foK the overture.
"Soon the President, his wife,
Major Bathbone and Bobert and Tad
entered their box, I signalled for
'Hail to the Chief,' and the audience
oheered and the President turned
imilingly and bowed. Then he seated
himself, and with his accustomed
modesty drew the curtains halt across
the box.
"After the first act J. P. Wright, the
stage manager, sent me word he would
be unable to have the special song
sung at that time, but he would try to
have it rendei'ed between the second
and third acts. A similar message was
tent to me at the close of the second
act, and I became somewhat exeroised.
I started to go upon the stage, when I
saw Booth on the balcony, walking
down the aisle in the direction of the
President's box. He was seemingly
attentive toward the acting, fox the
curtain had again gone up. I en
countered a scene shifter, Spangler,
whose office I afterward learned was to
turn out the lights in the theatre as
soon as the shot was fired. He ob
structed my passage.
" 'What do you want here?' he de
manded. In reply I told him it was
none of his business. Mr. Wright ap
pearing, Spangler left his position on
the stage alongside the box iu which
was the apparatus for illuminating the
theatre. I closed the lid of the box
and sat upon it to talk to the manager,
unconscious that ' I wai spoiling the
plan.
"Mr. Wright told me the song would
be sung at the close of the perform
ance, and Miss Jveene had sent word
to the President requesting him to
stay to hear it.
"I was just about to return to the
orchestra when the crack of a revolver
startled me. All was quiet instantly,
I saw a man jump from the President's
bo on to the stage. It was Booth.
He ran directly toward the door lead
ing into the alley. This course brought
him right in my path. He had a dag
ger in his hand, and he waved it
threateningly. He evidently did not
recognize me, for he appeared like a
maniac, his eyes seemed starting from
(heir sockets and his hair was dis
hevelled. "With head down hb ran towai4
lie and cried: 'Let me pass.' He
slashed at me with the knife, out
through my coat, vest and undercloth
ing. He struck again, the point of
the weapon penetrating the baok of
my neck, and the blow brought me to
the floor. I watched him make his
exit into the alley and caught sight of
the horse, held by 'Peanut John.'
"The commotion in the audience
was something terrible. Several actors,
Including Harry Hawke, rushed out,

"'What's this all about?' I asked.
Tm stabbed.' I was. quickly told
what was tQ matter. The thought
flashed acrossy mind that Booth
was the assassin. 5
"I was taken to he police station
and my deposition was reoeived in the
presence of Mayor WaJttCh. That
was, I believe, the first intimation
that they had of the identity 0f the
murderer. I was at the trial bl .the
conspirators, and the second to gtye
testimony. My wound healed in a
short time."

Low-Down Trick of a Parsnip.

The Turbvtn' Unique Ejes,
Lying limp and slimy on a fithmou
ger's slab, or dry and andy in tbe
Dutch fishwives' basket., the turbot is
perhaps the least interesting of fish,
says the London Spectator. When
swimming in an artificial 6ea or lying
on tbe sandy bottom it is the most at
tractive of all the denizens of this
mock ocean, and whether at rest or in
motion has an air of vigilance, viva
city and intelligence greater than that
of any ot the normally-shaped fish.
This is in part due to his habits and in
part to the exprdswou of the flat fich.'a
eye. Thi, which is sunk and invisi
ble in the dead fish, is raised on a
kind of turret in the living turbot, or
sole, and set there in a half revolving
apparatus, working almost as inde
pendently as the "ball and socket1
eyes of the cha melon. There n this
differenae, however, in the eye of the
lizard and of the fish the iris of the
chameleon is a 'mere pin-hole at the
top of the eyeball, which is thus abso
lutely without expression. The tur-
bot's or "butt's" eves are black and
gold and intensely bright, with none
of the fixed, staring, stupid appear
anoes of ordinary fishes' eyes. It lies
upon the sand and jerks its eyes in
dependently into position to survey
any part of the ground surface and
the water above or that on either side
at any angle.
If it had light rays to project from,
its eyes instead of to receive, the ef
fect would be precisely that made by
tbe sudden shifting of the jointed ap
paratus which casts the electric light
trom a war ship at any angle on the
sea, sky or horizon. The turbots.
though ready, graceful swimmers,
moving in wave-like undulations oorosd
the water, or dashing off like a flush
when so disposed, usually lie perfectly
still upon the bottom. They do not,
like the dabs and flounders, cover
themselves with sand, for they mimio
the color of the ground with suoh ab
solute fidelity that except for the
shining eyes it is almost impossible to
distinguish them. It would appear
that volition plays some part in this
subtle conformity to environment.
for one turbot, which is blind, has
changed a tint too light and not at all
in harmony with that of the sand.
Bovine Triplets Almost Alike.
E. E. Hall, who lives on North Park
avenue, near Capitol Hill, is prouder
than ever to-day of a cow that he pur
chased a few months ago for $50, at a
time when people told him he was
foolish to put so much money into an
animal that could only give milk and
might die on his hands at any time.
The cow yesterday gave birth to three
calves, all of which are fine and
healthy, and it is believed they will
live to become full grown cows and to
be valuable adjuncts to the dairy, too,
for, by a singular coincidence, they
are all heifers.
There are othar coincidences about
the calves that make their owner proud
of tbe animal that bore them. The
old cow had some idea of symmetery.
Her young ones are all red except for
the marks which are placed with pre
cision that reminds one of a lesson in
geometrical art. Each little one has,
to begin with, a white star on the
forehead. Then there is one with a
white star on each hip. As for the
others, one has a white star on the
right hip, and the other a white star
on the left hip. With the first one
lyisg in taw middle and the others ar
ranged on each side of her it looks
like a full section out of a new pattern
for wall paper. In every other way
the calves look so nearly alike that if
it were not for the peculiar marks re
ferred to the members of the family
that owns the mother would not be
able to tell which was which. Helens

The Cat Wears Glasses.
Max, the handsome Maltese pet ot
Miss Thompson, of San Francisco,
Oal., is perhaps the only cat on record
that wears spectacles.
Miss Thompson says she has owned
Max since her early youth, and has
found him a most invaluable posses
sion besides being a loving little com
panion in her loneliness. A few months
ago, much to her distress, Miss
Thompson discovered that Max was
losing his eyesight, so she carried him
to a well-known oculist to be treated.
At first the man of science refused to
make the experiment, scarcely know
ing how to begin, but at Miss Thomp
son s suggestion, he secured a line
and the picture of a mouse, au 1 by
holding these alternately and at vary
ing distances before Max, was finally
enabled to test his eyw. quite thor
oughly. After the necessary treat
ment, tne doctor ntted Max with a
pair of glasses, the gold frames having
to be made to order, of course, and
now the big cat looks as wise as the
proverbial owl with his double eyes,
and Miss Thompson declares it is as
good as new again. Philadelphit
