Orandfather Gower live4 about thirty-flvo
miles from our home , and his visits , Bich
occurred but seidon , were looked upon as
among the happlcst events dint occurred in
my boyhood's days.
The last visit that lie made at our house
w'nn a memorable one to ma , because of the
entertaining stories he told of his life and i
adventures In the great forest where he built "
Ids dome. I was 3 years old al the tlme.
It was late In the afternoon of a chilly ,
rainy day In November that mother looked" "
I out of the window Intently for seine time al
some one In the distance coming down the
road. At Tart she told with much animation :
"I do believe that is father's old while horse
coming yonder , "
I ssas almost beside myself with joy and
my boyish welcome vas demonstrative cI
rncst to the Point of rudeness , 'that evening
I cuddled down in grandfathers' tap anti
Legged Bard for a story. "I always like to
hear you tell of the big woods anti thu wlld
animals , " I added eagerly ,
TnE STORY , l
"When your raudntother and 1 moved into
the forests" grandfather began , "I took the
contract with a cooper seho Ilvet ) at lira lit.
tie town of Chagrin Fnllo , of furnishing a
number of thousand shooks. "
hero grandfather stopped an Instant , I
suppose to await the question that came
from my lips : "What are shooks , grandfather -
father ? "
"Slioolcs are slaves properly rtv'ed out and
roughly trimmed for inching hogsheads ,
casks , barrels and so forth. I was to ho
paid all in money-something unusual in a
those days-and i was very anxious , you may
be tore , to fulfill my part of time contract.
"I was to get them out to the spring or
early summer , stack in piles so theyy would
quickly and ellmbel a small rolgh bnrked
tree that was near by. The tree was about
the size of a big telegraphy pole , but coi-
siderably taller. i mnde as rapid work of

horror and ft ight a short but deadly strug-

The maddened mother reared upon her
hauneilcs and opened out her powerful arms.
The brave old dog leaped for her throat
and fastened his jaws for a moment about
her wludpipe. The strong arms of the old
bear closet ! about Iiim In a deadly hug that
crushed him as easily as you would destroy

to cllutb ,
"The tree was small , the barb was hard

she could climb the tree. tier powerful
claws stink deep into the bark and her huge

MARCO'S SUSPICIONS ,
"Near the place wliero I got out most of
the shooks , i had noticed an enormous old
forest basswood tree. It was a very giant
among the trees around lt. It wee hollow at
the base , as nearly all large baeawoods are ,
and I also had noticed a large opening in
time side of the body away np among the
Lugo limbs. My old hunting dog , Marco ,
always went with me to my work in the
i , woods unless told to stay at the cabin with
grandmother. I had seen him go natty
times out to the old basswood and smell
around the roots amd then look Intently up
the tree. I paid butt rllltIe attention to him ,
but kept busy at my work and thought no
more about thu matter until I1 the full when
I went to get my first load of shooks anti
deliver them at the little village whichn was
fifteen miles away ,
'On the morning that I was to haul this
first load i w'as up and away a long time before -
fore sunrise , 1 could just see to pick my
way through the forest. There hail been a
heavy storm , accompanied by a terrific wind
blow , a few days before and many largo
trece were down. When I came near where
the piles of shcoks were I food that the
huge , old basswcod was blown down across
my roadway. It hati not qultn fallen to the
earth , but was caught and held by a tangled
mass of torn trees and broken limbs that it
had crashed hitd on Its downward course.
It lay tip a few feel from the earth so that
a person could walk underneath it , but i
could not drh'o my team of oxen and heavy
wagon under It I stopped the oxen in front
and began looking about to find a good pathway -
way around It.
DOG AND CUB ,
"White I was searching for one , Marco

( of both old Marco and the animal hue was

halo ; .and shouted 'sic 'inn , Marco , sic 'Inv ;

"As soon as Marco had backed neat enough

A SAVAGE CUT ,
"Tho furious , maddened beast came slowly
amid leisurely up. The tree swayed with
ltcr huge bulk till I thought it would overturn -
turn or break oft ,
"I knew that it would not do to let her
get at my feet and legs , so I drew them
up , and hanging firmly to a limb with my
left hand , I swung myself partly down to
meet her. She could not release her pasva
to claw me oft without tailing and oa when
her head was near enough I made one vicious
slash at her nose. It was a tortunato stroke
of thu keen edged blade , slashing across
both nostrils with a deep , quick cut ,

"Jost then I heard a voice calling in the
distance. I Instantly knew that it was your

terrible fright and she had come on quickly
to find If I was hurt W'hon she came near

"It seemed a long time before I saw her

In the meantime. was in the most violent
parcxy'sms of rage and pain , and was again
trying to climb the tree , but with every
eflcrt would claw at her ncse and fall back
to the ground. I called out to your grandmother -
mother to approach qu etly until i should tell
her to shoot. She did so , and when within

behdnd the fore shoulder and fired. The
huge beast sprang into the air and fell over
on her side. It ssas a good shot. Grandmother -
mother came nearer at my suggestion , and
fired the other load into the bear's bgdy ,
but the first shot had done the work , and
the big brute was dead. I came quickly
down the tree rejoicing at uuy deliverance.
"Poor old' Marco ! Faithful old dog ! There
ho lay mangled cud dead , torn into a shapeless -

with the moderato exactions of the old
license system , that many of the smaller
dealers will probably ho driwus out of the
business , The Iowa legislature has forbidden
the manufacture and sale of cigarettes , In
Ohio It has been formally resolved by the
state's solona In solemn conclave at Columbus
that the custom of treating to intoxicating
beverages Is pernicious , and that it must ho

themselves shall be exenipt from this swoop.

of these laws is chiefly significant as an
indication that public opinion has been
rouged to the need of some sort of vigorous

county administration that permits many

ANTI-GAMBLING LAWS.
For several years there has been a marked
and aggressive movement among our slate
legislatures In the direction of antl gamblhug
legislation. The past winter has seen several
Important laws of this kind enact , , the
most important being those of Mississippi
and Virginia ; lhp former was directed
against keepers of all kinds of gambling op-
pllances and thu latter against race track

1YO\V LEGISLATION tA'N IIEACII TIlE IN-
DIVIIIfIL ( ,
State leglslatlpq atfecta the interesta of
the citizen directly and conslptelously ; as
the action of congress' seldom does. A few
weeks ago 0',000 saloon ) . ' keepers were In
business ! n New Yofl { t'ily , The passage
of the Raines' bill sups virtually a notice
to 1,600 of these men to abandus the tralllc ,
since the tax of $300 is prohibitory in their
alsea Mcreover , to , ' 7,600 dealers -
ers , the now law declarps certain n'strlctions
amid certain proltiLltiona such as have heretofore -
tofore boon unknown in New York , It forbids -
bids the free lunch cndtom. It lays down
rigid exactions ue lp llI'e'Iuqurs of sale , and
it subjects the salopn ltckpgr and his properly -
erly to Inepectldn and surveilance nat to be
avoided , In Iowa , again , the business of all
persons engaged in the making and handling
of cigarettes , frog the 'large manufacturer
and wholesaler downto 'tho humblest ro-
taller at the country cross roads , has been
utterly destroyed , Ttvo , months ago it was
a legitimate business ; receiving both the
sanction and tire protection of the state ,
Today It is a forbitden , tralfic , awl those who
engage in it must do so clandestinely and at
the peril of the law's intllcllona , The action -
tion of the legislature may or may not luavo
been justified as an exercise of police power.
Many of Iowa's citizens , we are aware , support -
port the law and deptand Its enforcement.
We merely cite thlq' law as one Instance
among many' that kayo recentiy' come to our
notice , of extraordinary Interference with the
rights of individuals. The legislatures of
1806 have not hesitated to abridge personal
freedom or to eacritlco personal interests fur
what is ) meld to be rho greatest good to the
greatest number. 1V. D , SUAW ,
