They have a great Joke on ex-Oovtruor
Hogg clown In Texas, nlso on a party i
of llcst nutans. The whole affair was
ai iiiuged hy Captain Alsdorf Faulkner,
who eomluetiil tho visitors to Sugaw
l.iml. to Initiate them into the dolightn
and inysteiies of n hear hunt "Tho
p.uty was loinposecl largely of ladies
and gentlemen from Massachusetts.'
said Captain Faulkner, "and of coursei
quite it number e.f them had icad 'Undo
Tom's Cabin,' und the entertainment
was arinnged for them uecordlngly. OC
eouue the visitors worts not let Into thu'
sei'iet. The Mabsac hiisettK pi'oplts
weie engei for the hunt to begin. Each
one was anxious to lake a diet at th.
bear, little knowing that theli shells
would do nothing hut make u loud ro

hunters, ant ride of lien lies und iuuIpk
and armed with salt loaded hIicMs, went
off. Soon the hounds struck the trail
of ihe bear anil there wan music In the
air. Spina ami whips nml sticks were
brought Into iiqulsltlon and the gay
cavalcade moved off toward theyelplnjr
hounds. Stum the hounds brought tinhorn-
right by the p.uty of hunters, anil
almost evoiybody took a whack at him
with fliuiinm, but, of course, It novor
feazed him. The heavy llrlng, how
ever, frlghtined the hotses and mules,
who were altogether unaccustomed lo
this kind of amusement. One old corn
field mule kicked up his heels and lit
out across the Held. The gay Hos
