Bruin's Bad Break.
Bear mincemeat, hide, hair and
spots of blood near Wortman's road
house mark the place where a careless
bear rolled down the hillside Into a
bunch of steers being driven over tht
trail from Valdez to Fairbanks. The
fight took place where the trail runt
along the foot of a steep bluff. It it
not certain what made the bear come
down. He either lost his footing while
rubbering at the herd or took a run
ning jump to stampede the bunch in
the hope' of biting off a porterhouse
steak. In either event his calcula
tions were wrong, for those 35 steers
fell upon him like two-and-twenty foot
ball players upon the ball. In less
than a minute the cowpunchert
couldn't see what was going on, ex
cept that there was trouble.
Then the scent of butcheredbear
assailed the breezes and those 35 hys
terical steers stampeded in all wayt
at once, and it took the punchers half
a day to gather them together again
The bear will never get together again
in this world. He is supposed to be
dead.
A Man of Judgment.
"She turned her entire fortune over

"She must have unbounded faith in

"She has; he is the first man that

"Golf is a good deal like the piano,"

FAME CANNOT BE ANALYZED.
Possible Only to Take It at Its Face
Value Edgar Allan Poe a Case
in Point.
To be famous is not necessarily to
be great, and to be great is not neces-'
sarily to be famous. In the vernac
ular, to be famous is to "make a hit"
The next Question 'to be decided by'
the authorities, self-appointed or oth
erwise, is whether, the fame is de
served. That Invariably staft an ar
gument. No fame as ever unani
mous. ",r"'
Fame, therefore, pan be taken only
at its face value. Just as soon as we
attempt to subject it to the critical
analysis of different viewpoints, we
are embarked on the stormy sea of
disputation without' compass or quad
rant, without destination or starting
point, doomed forever, like the Wan
dering Jew, to float on and on to no
where. .1 .
Buffeted thus aimlessly is the shade
of Poe. f in the ordinary acceptation
ui iue ieriu, ne was ana is xamous,
and the effort of his detractors Id
make out otherwise. 'only serves to" 'In
crease his fame. Whether hels justly"'
or deservedly famous or not, is -quite0
another' question a question which is
both irrelevant am, indeterminate. It
Is irrelevant because fame, is 'objec
tive rather than subjective. If It Is
to be qualified,, it 'takes'.'ita quality
from the contemplating public and not
if um me mail unuer consideration,
bringing us tosfcial, iritrospeUon'
and there we stick until some arbitra
tor plenipotentiary leads "us out.
Hence the question is also indeter
minate, since arbitrators plenipoten
tiary disappeared' with the "divine
right'; bubble. r . ' '
In "the matter q'PPoe's going' Into
the HaH of Fame, 'depends and' should '
depend upon those" having the Hall of
Fame in charge, whether they tie An
thony Oemstocks. Battery Dans) John
Li. Sulli vans' or other gentlemen 'who
may have happened to become famous
in their chosen sphere. Others should
keep hands off.
Whatever the outcome, the Hall 'of
Fame merely reflects the opinion of
those who have it in charge. No mat
ter how much public discussion there
may be, no matter how much outsid
ers may engage in controversies In
which they have none but a bellicose
interest, -the governors will still use
their own judgment, and we will be
supposed to infer that their selections
were deservedly famous. There is no
danger of any one's deliberately start
ing a Hall of Unjust Fame.
The only other way would be to de
cide It by referendum. If we should
vote him in and his fame was still un
deserved, then, of course, It would
prove that we were a bad lot. LIp
pincott's. Sordid Smuggling.
Times were when the career of the
smuggler carried with it all the glam
our of romance. The pebbly beach,
the moonless night, the signal upon
the headland, muffled oars, the whis
pered command, "Pull away, my hear'
ties," the silent "landing of the wine
casks and the bales of silk and lace,
the click of the horse's hoof on the
flint, a sudden rush of the excise men
from their concealment in the rock
the cutting loose of the horses, the
flying escape, an'd Dlrck the smuggler
is beyond pursuit These were the
concomitants of the old-time drama
Those days are no more. The tax
dodger is not a picturesque figure.
Smuggling has dropped to a dead
level of sordldness. To say that
smuggling is largely a woman's of
fense Is to advance an easily main
tained proposition. Dodging govenv
ment claims, is not a matter of sex.
But mental x attitudes differ. The
male smuggler 'is 'the more conscious
offender ofJta&Hw6.'; He-'will more
readily admit the 'force of the argu
ment that rejrenue must be raised for
public expenses and it may be to pro
tect home industries, likewise that it
is only fair to tax objects of luxury
at a higher rate than necessaries.

Men are apt to fall into careless

perhaps, speak sharp words that

In the heart.
. They are not so abroad. They are
thoughtful to other "women, and smile

They are-perturbed with the mean

"Did' you cook the fish I bought?"
said a husband coming home at night.
"Yes, my dear."
, "I should like to know how you
cooked it. I'll bet any money you
have spoiled it for my eating."
Taking off the cover "I thought so.
Why in the world, did you fry it?"
"My dear, I thought you preferred
it fried." '
"You thought no suching! Why
didn't you boil it?"
"The last time we had fish I boiled
It and you said you liked it Jried. But
I have boiled some.".
And she lifted a cover, showing the
shoulder of a cod nicely boiled.
"A pretty dish, this!" he exclaimed.
"Boiled fish, chips and porridge. If
you had not been the stupidest woman
you would have made a chowder."
She immediately placed before him
a dish containing an excellent chow

favorite dish."

the grumbler. I "would rather have a

This 'was a common expression of

she uncovered a big dish, and there

Mrs. Carlyle said of her Thomas:

He arrived and she says:
"After he 'had just greeted me, what

And until he found that blessed wedge
nothing would content him. He said
the window would rattle and spoil
