A GIRL WHO KILLS BEARS.
Miss Phot be Patterson and Her Hunting
Exploits.
Kew York Sun.
"It's easy enough, to kill bears when
you know how," said Miss Phoebe
Patterson, of Mendocino county, as
the leaned up against the lintel of the
log cabin among the giant redwoods.
"I've killed ll, and one of them was
a grizzly. With that gun ? Yes.
It's a pretty good rifle, but you have
to raise it a little high in taking sight,
and the stock is a little loose. I'm
going to send itoverto the gunsmith's
before long."
Miss Patterson looked the woods
woman she is. She had on a little
slouch hat, a hunting jacket, and a
short skirt. She was just the kind of
woman that some Britons on arriving
in California expect to meet at every
turn. But there is only one Phoebe
Patterson, and she has no equal as a
bear huntress in the whole west. She
looked rather small for her age, 19,
but she declared that she was still
growir.g.
"Would you like to see my pets?"
she asked, and of course her caller
said he would be delighted. He had
heard some low growling and high
snarling from behind the house. Now
it was divined that .these came from
"the pets."
"Mother don't like to have me keep
them," she went on, "but they're
really no harm in the world." She
opened a little* corral gate and walked
in to where three small bears were
trudging up and down at the end of
short chains with that ceaseless mo
tion which a bear takes up when in
captivity. The animals glanced at her
as she entered and ceased their growls
They looked expectantly.
"Oh, you've had your breakfast,"
said she, as if talking to so many chil
dren. "You can't have any more un
til noon. Here, Romeo."
The largest of the three sat up on his
hind legs and looked at her with a
bearish grin on his face as she
smoothed his rough fur and patted his
head.
"Don't be afraid of them. ^ They'll
not bother you if you don't touch
them." She leaned her head over the
black brute and let him kiss her pret
ty dark face. Her eyes danced ro
guishly as she watched the antics of
the other two, who shrugged their
shoulders and looked very cross.
"They are jealous," said she. Then
she bestowed her favors evenly and all
were happy, the happiest being the
one who had the most immediate
cause, the larger one, to whom she re
turned with pretty caresses.
"I feel as if I ought to be good to
them all because I was mean enough
to kill their mother. Not that I would
have shot her had I known she had
children to look out for. Oh, no; 1
am not so cruel as that. But how
could ]. tell? And she made at me
so furiously, too! You see. I was up
the creek last spring. I had been out
with the rifle for three hours and
hadn't seen a thing to shoot at, when
I ran almost into the clutches of the
biggest black bear I ever saw. . Most
bears, except grizzlies, will tum and
run when they see you coming, es
pecially if you have a gun. They
seem to know what a gun is every
time, and they actually seem to know
the difference between a shotgun and
a rifle. Anyway, they'll get out quick
er if ytm are carrying a Winchester.
"But this she-bear made right for
me. I had come upon the beast so
suddenly that I didn't think about
shooting right on the spur of the mo
ment, but was more for running. I
jumped behind a small redwood just
in time to save myself a stroke from
her paw and my skirt caught on a dead
branch, one of those short, sharp
branches that are always catching a
person' s skirts. This held me tight
for an awful second, and I actually
felt that big bear's breath upon my
face, Ugh! I was scared. But it
wouldn't do to get excited. I made a
quick jump and tore a hole in the
skirt, which set me free; but the bear
had one paw on my shoulder and I
just thought I should never see the
old log house again. But the bear
did not mind the tree, and so banged
into it so hard that it loosened her
hold upon me and I sprang out behind
another tree and raising my rifle pull
ed the trigger. I couldn't have miss
ed that bear had I wanted to. She
was right up against the muzzle. She
fell without even a kick. Then I
heard some low noises from behind a
hollow log, and there were these three
little rascals sunning themselves and
playing about as if nothing had hap
pened. Of course I couldn't really
have helped myself about the killing
of their mother, but I felt so sorry for
the dear little baby bears that I brought
them home by tying a long piece of
leather around their necks and sort of
snaking them along. That's the skin
of their mother up there by the win
dow of the house. Somehow I didn't
want to sell it. I shall make a big
rug to put down in front of the fire
place.
"About the other bears I killed?
Oh, there isn't any story about them
to speak of; that is, except the griz
zly. All the other bears just happen
ed to come ray way while I was out
shooting, and they just didn't go any
further, that's all. As I said, most of
them took to their heels as soon as I
came along, but I im pretty good at
long-range shooting, and dropped
them. I bagged three in one day.
That was a great day's sport, wasn't
lit? I don't believe there's a man in
this canon that has ever done any
better. But bears are getting scarce
up this way. The city hunters are
learning how to kill them at last.
They used to get one of our men to
go out and kill their bears for them,
but they know how themselves now,
some of them. There are three hunt
ers that come up here from San Fran
cisco every season, and they kill four
or or five bears apiece. They don't
do anything with them, except to cut
off a few steaks, and I don't think it's
right. They ought to bring in thc
hides, but I guess they're too lazy to
skin them. Can I skin a bear? I
should say so; and I don't make a long
job of it, either. Not that I like
work. I think it a man's work, but
on occasion I peel off a hide. It only
takes about half an hour, but the first
time you try it takes you all day. You
learn by watching some experienced
person go at it. My father used to be
quick enough, but he's laid up with
rheumatism now andean hardly hold a
knife in his hands.
"The grizzly? Oh, I killed him
down at Snow Creek, near where it
joins Skunk Creek. He didn't come
at me until I had put one ball in him.
and then he fairly tore up the ground
with his rake and came like a deer
through the brush, crashing every
thing before him. There was some
thing the matter ' .h my rifle. I'd
got a cartridge shell caught in it and
couldn't work the magazine. But I
didn't ruo, only just stood there
fidgeting and fussing with that rifle.
I guess I threw out a dozen good car
tridges, and it was just a wonder I
had any cartridges left in the gun
when the grizzly got up to inc. I was
so excited that I snapped the trigger
twice before I got the gun closed, but
the shell that had lodger! was out and
the gun should have worked well
enough. It was a sort of repetition of
the big blaok bear shot, for I laid him
low without taking sight or hardly
glancing at my gun. I was all eyes
for the big chargin grizzly, and it was
lucky he didn't get me. When I told
pa that I had killed a grizzly, he didn't
believe me; but I showed him where
he lay. Then he wanted me to quit
hunting. It was too dangerous, he
said. But, you see, somebody's got
to keep 'em in neat, and as long as
there's deer and bears and small game
hereabouts I guess I can do it.
The Stone in thc Road.
A long time ago there lived a king
who took great delight in teaching his
people good habits. "Bad luck comes
only to the lazy and the careless,"
said he; "but to the busy workers
God gives the good things of this life."
Ooe night he put a large stone in
the middle of the road near his palace,
and then watched to see what the peo
ple who passed that way would do.
Early in the morning a sturdy old
farmer, named Peter, came along with
his heavy ox-cart loaded with corn.
"Oh ! these lazy people," he cried,
driving his oxen to one side of the
road. "Here is this big stone right
in the middle of the road, and nobody
will take the trouble to move it."
And he went on his way, scolding
about the laziness of other people, but
never thinking of touching the stone
himself.
Then came a young soldier, singing
a merry song as he walked along. A
gay feather was stuck in his bat and a
big sword hung at his side ; and he
was fond of telling great stories of
what he had done in the war. He
held his head so high that he did not
see the stone, but stumbled over it
and fell flat into the dust.
This put an end to his merry song ;
and. as he rose to his feet, he began
to storm at the country people.
"Silly drones !" he said, "to have
no more sense than to leave a stone
like that in the middle of the road 1"
Then he passed on ; but he did not
sing any more.
An hour later there came down the
road six merchants with their goods
on pack horses, going to the fair that
was to be held near the village. When
they reached thc stone the road was so
narrow that they could hardly drive
their horses between it and the wall.
"Did anyone ever see the like?"
they said. "There is that big stone
in the road, and not a man in all the
country but that is too lazy to move
it!"
And so the stone lay there for three
weeks ; it was in everybody's way, and
yet everybody left it for somebody
else to move.
Then the king sent word to all his
people to meet together on a certain
day near his palace, as he had some
thing to tell them.
The day came and a great crowd of
men and women gathered in the road.
Old Peter, the farmer was there, and
so were the merchants and the young
soldier.
"I hope that the king will not find
out what a lazy set of people he has
around," said Peter.
And then the sound of a horn was
heard, and the king was seen coming
toward them. He rode up to the
atone, got down from his horse, and
said :
"My friends, it was I who put thia
stone here, three weeks ago. It has
been seen by every one of you ; and
yet every one has left it just where it
was, and scolded his neighbor for not
moving it out of the way."
Then he stooped down and rolled
the stone over. Underneath the stone
was a round, hollow place, in which
was a small iron box. The king held
up the box so that all the people might
see what was written on a piece of
paper fastened to it.
These were the words :
"For him who lifts the stone."
He opened the box, turned it upside
down, and out of it fell a beautiful
gold ling and twenty brightgold coins.
Then every one wished that he had
only thought of moving the stone in
stead of going around it and finding
fault with his neighbor.
There are many people still who lose
prizes because they think it easier to
find falut than to do the work which
lies before them. Such people do not
usually blame themselves, but think it
is all on account of bad luck and hard
times.
Will Wheat Turn to Chess!
It ia the popular and wide-spread
belief among farmers and others that
the purest and best wheat may be
planted and that from such seed a
plant wholly different in all of its
essential characteristics may germinate
and grow. It may also be noted that
a similar belief in regard to barley also
exists in some portions of the country.
The plant which is supposed to be
thus mysteriously evolved from the
valuable bread grains mentioned is
called chess. The advocates of the
transmutation of either wheat or bar
ley into chess have been repeatedly
called upon to demonstrate the alleged
change, and rewards or premiums have
often been offered to anyone who would
prove that such changes actually take
place. The believers in the theory
that such changes may take place, say
that they arc brought about by dif
ferent causes, the main one being the
sudden freezing or thawing of the
wheat while at the point of germination.
A Buffalo, N Y., man (Benj. Hodge),
once offered $100 to anyone who would
prove that such a change had taken
place. The reward was claimed by
one Sam'l Davidson of Monroe County,
New York. Davidson sifted fine earth
so as to be sure beyond a doubt that
there was no chess seed in it. He
then placed the dirt in a pan and
plauted it with 30und and perfect
grains of whes.t. Next he subjected
it to the contingents of sudden freez
ing and thawing and to other hard
treatment such as is usually said to
make chess. When the plants threw
out their heads., there appeared chess
heads also. The lot was then examined
by a committee of the New York Ag
ricultural Society and it was found
that stalks of chess were present where
thc roots were found to proceed direct
from grains of wheat which still re
mained entire. By some of the com
mittee this was looked upon as con
clusive, but further investigations
proved that some of the chess roots
were connected to three or four differ
ent wheat grains. That was the puz
zle which the committee could not
solve and thc whole experiment was
voted to be a failure.-St. Louis Re

The Best he Could Bo?
It was a Michigan man riding
through West Virginia on horseback,
and one afternoon as he came along to
a settler's cabin on the mountain
road, he asked a man leaning over the
gate :
"Can you tell me how far it is to
the town ahead ?"
"I reckon I kin, stranger. You'll
have to peg along for about nine miles
yet."
"But it is nearly dark. Is there no
tavern on the road ?"
"Never heard of any, and I've backed
my corn meal over this road risin' 20
years.
,;But perhaps I could put up some
where ?"
"Perhaps ye could. There's Steve
Taylor's down about four miles, but
he'd beat ye blind on old sledge.
There's Mose Smith, a mile nigher,
but Mo;ie would feel offended if ye
didn't trade him that boss for a stub
tailed mule. Might put up at Green's
but there's lots of rattlesnakes around
his place. Kurnel Johnson is down
about six miles, but the kurnel would
turn ye out of doors at midnight if he
found that ye didn't vote his way."
"But what am I to do ?"
"Waal, I'm a squar' man, stranger,
and the best I kin do is to ax ye to
stop here with me, an' to tell ye be
forehand that if ye ar' awakened in
the night by shingles being ripped off
and logs pulled down it won't be an
avalanche or cyclone, but only me an'
the old woman a-trying for the hun
dredth time since the war to see who
handles the money when I sell two
coon skius for a dollar !"
"I-I guess I'll go on," faltered the
rider.
"Ke-rect, stranger! The last man
who stopped here said he wished he'd
have run the chances with thc Green's,
an' I gin him my hand when he rode
off. I'm squar' up and down, as I
told ye, and Green's is the third cabin
on this side arter ye cross the creek."
Faithful Herder.
A dog in New Mexico, returning ore
evening with his sheep to the fold,
discovered that his master was still in
his shanty and kept very quiet, says
the Christian at Work. The next
evening it was the same. But after
penning up the sheep the dog smelled
about the door, scratched, barked, and
even howled, as he was getting very
hungry. But his master did not move.
The dog, true to his appointed duty,
went out with the sheep on the third
day, but that night when he drove the
flock into their pen, the last one to at
tempt to get in became the victim of
the dog's appetite. This method of
providing for his own wants became a
part of the faithful dog's duty. Every
evening the last sheep to try to enter
the fold was seized by him and served
for supper and breakfast and dinner
the following day. Theranch to which
the dog belonged was in a solitary part
of the territory, and out of the track
of travel and visitation.
For two years from the time of the
master's death, as ascertained by data
left by the latter, the faithful dog at
tended the flock committed to his
charge and had fresh mutton for his
supper every night. The flock was
not decimated by his steady drain up
on its resources. On the contrary, it
increased in numbers, and when, at the
end of two years from the time of the
death of the proprietor, the ranch was
visited and the remains of the owner
were found, the dog was still at his
post of duty, jealously guarding his
flock and driving them to the best pas
tures every day and to the fold at
night, before which he slept to keep
the wild sheep eaters of the plains ata
safe distance.

it is the grand exchequer of the world,

Pets Carry Disease.
CLEMSON COLLEGE, S.C., .Tune 25 -Of
the many pet? that are kept in the bouse,
we find the dog, cat and bird most fre
quently. It may be of interest to those
Keeping and fondling animals, that these
apparenily innocent creatures are only
too often the source of decided danger to
the health of the owner. There are but
few dogs entirely free from parasites.
ThoRe infecting the skin, excepting the
parasite producing mamie, are of no
great moment to the human, save a tem
porary annoyance ; while certain parasites
inhabiting the intestinal canal of man's
greatest pet, the dog, will live and do
well to the disadvantsge of its new host,
aiAD, if unfortunate enough to become
infected. The process is simple and a
great many instances are on record,
Bhowing the correctness of this only ap
parent theory. The dog in licking the
hand or as it ls at times lermeu "kissing"
the face of its owner may deposit the eggs
of the parasite upon the licked parts, that
tbesfl now have a decided chance to enter
man's mouth and consequently stomach
and intestines, is easily seen.
(Viany a mysterious disease character
ed mainlv by deranged liver functions
or intestinal trouble, and even premature
death, follows too close association with
the pet dog.
Tue same refers, to a certain extent, to
cats, although they are probably more
concerned in the spread of contagious
diseases. Their prowling nature brings
them in contact with ail sorts of deadly
germs which adhere to their feet and
hair, as they travel from one refuse barrel
to the other. Imagine a cat after having
been out all night and coming in contact
with rubbish and sweepings, to return in
the morning to be taken up into the arms
nf a child anda kiss imprinted upon its
fur impregnated with dust, and possibly
germs of some dread disease as diptheria
or tuberculosis.
A highly interesting fact was brought
ont some time ago when the Royal
veterinary college, of Berlin, Germany,
announce'd the fact that 19 per cent, or
all birds (parrots and canary birds)
brought there for treatment bad tuber
culosis. Whether these birds contracted
consumption originally from their owners
was not conclusively shown excepting
that all the families having these con
sumptive birds hud tuberculosis in the
family. That the disease can be trans
ferred from the human to the bird or
vice versa, for Instance while letting
"Birdie" eat sugar from the owner's
mouth is undeniable. The point, there
fore, in the safe keeping of animal pets is
leay familiarity with these animals.
W. E. A. WYMAN, V. S.
A Sharp Business Man's Courting.
Pitts is a fast man, a sharp man, a
man of business tact, and when Pitta
goes into a store to trade, he always
gets the lowest cash price; and he
says: "Well, I'll look about, and if I
don't find anything that suits me bet
ter, I'll take this !"
Pitts, like all fast men, is partial to
women, and young ones in particular.
Now, quite lately, Pitts said to him
self : "I'm gettin' rather 'long in
years and I guess I'll get married."
His business qualities wouldn't let
him wait, so off he travels and calling
upon a lady friend, opens the conver
sation by remarking that he would like
to kuow what she thought about his
getting married.
"Oh, Mr. Pitts, that is an aifair in
which I am not greatly interested, and
I prefer to leave the matter with your
self."
"But," says Pitts, "you are inter
ested, and, my dear girl, will you mar
ry me?"'
The young girl blushed very red,
hesitated and finally, as Pitts was
well-to do in the world, and morally.
financially and politically of good
<i ? -
standing; in society, she accepted him.
Whereupon the matter-of-fact Pitts
responded :
"Well, well, I'll look about, and if
I don't End any that suits me better
than you, I'll come back."
- "Mary, I hope you took good
care of my animals while I was avray?"
"Indeed I did; only once I forgot to
feed the cat." "I hope she didn't
suffer." "Oh, no; she ate the canary
and the parrot."
- ? writer in Blackwood says :
"When people want to speak of a na
tive of Holland, they call him an Am
sterdam Dutchman; but when they
speak o!' one of the Germau race gene
rally, they leave out the A nister."
