SAVED BY THE BEARS THEY ROUTED THE REVENUE MEN WHO WERE HUNTING WHISKY. Zeb White Tells How the Pesky Varmints Sampled His Moonshine ) Juice and the Result, and Mrs. Zeb Has a Word to Say About Brains. [Copyright. 134)), by C. B. Lewis.] "We'd bin makin moonshine whis ky over in the big ravine fur about three weeks," said the old possum hunter of Tennessee, "when a thumpin big War cum down out of the thicket one day and acted in a mighty cur'us way. It was in the summer, and he was sheddin his fur, and, though I had my rifle handy, I didn't keer to shoot him. That b'ar smelt the whis ky, and he sniffed and snuffed and seemed to want a taste. I hollered at him and driv him of two or three times. lut h" kept comin back. My ole woman had come over with my supper. and arter watchin the b'ar fur awhile she said: -- 'Zeb, that b'ar wants a drink of co'n juice *uah's yo'r bo'n, and I'm fur glvin it to him.' "I laughed at the idea, but as a continued to hang around the place the old woman poured about a pint of the stuff into a pan and set it on a stone 30) rods away. She had skassly turned her back befo' the b'ar was lappin it up, and he smacked his lips over it jest like a man. In a leetle while he walked off, and later on we heard sich a row down around the bend that we crept down to see what It was. It was our b'ar and his mate. That pint of whisky had made our b'ar feel mighty jolly, and he was in sistin that the other b'ar dance around and roll over with him. One was drunk and jolly and the other sober and mad, and the way they carried on was as good as a circus. Next day both b'ars showed up fur whisky and went off as jolly as you please, and half an hour later I walked right up to them as they slept and snored. I wasn't fur givin away any mo' licker, but the ole woman thinks it over and says: "'Zeb, the fur of them b'ars won't be wuth shucks fur three months, but what's the matter with shettin the varmints up in our outdoor cellar fur the rest of the summer? I reckon we kin manage to feed 'em, and each hide will fetch $15 as soon as the fur is prime.' "I decided that it was a good idea, and we put out a hull quart of whisky fur 'em, but fur some reason they had left the nayburhood. The old woman reckoned they'd got ashamed of them selves and gone off to avoid temp tashun, and I kinder figgered that they was off spreadin the news and invitin other b'ars to come along and sheer a good thing. We'd about given up seein 'em ag'in when they showed up. I was all alone at the still that day, but I had ropes at hand to tie 'em up in case our plan worked, and I poured two full quarts of whisky into the pan and set It out in the old place. Them b'ars had bin roamin around and keep in sober fur so long that they was dyin fur a spree, and they lapped up every drop of that licker and licked their chops fur mo'. They didn't git jolly, as I looked fur. On the contrary, they snarled and growled and wanted to pick a fuss with each other. Mebbe a b'ar is like a man about drinkin. Let him git too much. aid he's ugly instead of jolly. I waited awhile and then follered 'em, hopin to find 'em asleep, and that's how I corm to see a sight to make my ha'r stand up. "Down around the bend in the ra vine was a grassy spot, and what I saw was them b'ars rollin four men over the ground. It wasn't a minit befo' I knowed who them men was. They was revenoo fellers who hed got news of my still and was sneakin up the ravine to ketch me red handed. The b'ars had met 'em and pitched right In. I reckon the fellers was too surprised to fire a shot, though all had pistols, and the~ way them b'ars did slam 'em around was a caution. Two of the fellers broke away as soon as I got thar, but the other two was so bad ly clawed that arter the b'ars left 'em they could skassly crawl, and I'm suah they laid out in the woods all nIght. I was much oblee.;ed to the varmints, as yo' may reckon, as they bed saved me from a surprise, and in my gratitood I said to the ole woman: "'I ain't gwing to play no tricks on a varmint what >ns saved me from ruin, and I shan't *rv to captur' 'em. 'Deed, but I'll furnish 'em with free co'n juice and let 'em hey a good time. "They was back next day fur their drink, and, rememberin how a quart had made 'em ugly drunk, I only sot out a pint. They lapped It up and looked fur mo', and when no mo' was fo'thcomin they gin us a surprise party. Thar was fo' men of us at the still that day, and arter growlin around fur awhile them b'ars cum chargin down upon us. We had to scatter mighty sudden, and they kept us away fur an hour. Thar was no whisky to be got at, and they tore down our shanty, clawed cur blankets into strips and went off growlin at each other. We didn't see 'em ag'in fur a month. Then one day as I was carryin a keg of the stuff on my shoulder along a mountain path I run full tilt into the two of 'em. I knowed 'em in a minit, and I jest counted on hevin a fuss with 'em. It was no use tryin to git away, and I put down the keg and stood back to gin 'em a chance at it. But they 4idn't take it. They walked up and sniffed about, and as soon as they rec ognized the smell they sorter shook their heads and walked off and gIn me a clear road. As I figgered it, them b'ars had tried whisky and found that it brung nuthin but headaches and fightin and hard knocks. They'd jest made up their minds that it was bad stuff and hed gone back on it, and that To Consumers Lager Beer, We are now in position to ship Beer' all over this Stare at the following ' lints. *"Export bottles.'' five and ten dozen in p'ackag~e, at 90c.

I n:ver hev taken a nip of co'n juice since then that she wasn't ready to speak out: "'Thar yo' go ag'in, Zeb White! Law me, but if yo' only hed the brains of a b'ar, what a happy woman I'd be!' " M. QU-l'. CARL DUNDER'S SAYINGS. A Wholesome ('onbination o2 Fun and Philosophy. [Copyri;ht. L.'0, by C. B. Lewis.] Some people vlas born dot way und can't help it. Last week my brudder in-law goes oudt in der woods to kill a rabbit. le doan' tind no rabbits, but he kills a fox und den comes home und kicks about his hard luck. In my time I haf caught some fish dot weighed 20 pounds apiece, but dot doan' satisfy me. I thas always mourning after dose fish which weigh ed 22 pounds apiece und got avhay from me. I hat had men pick my pockets, und I hat had friends borrow my money, und I can't quite figure out why der pickpocket should be sent to jail und der odder party go free. It vhas all der same to me-I got nothing back. If a man comes to me und.doan' say nottings, mebbe he gets feefty cents, but if a man comes to me und says he vhas a squar' man und can't sleep nights if he doan' pay his debts I shust walk off und leave him to talk mit der gatepost. Der man who calls me oop at mid night to tell me dot my henhouse door vhas open thinks to do me a favor, but if he vhas a philosopher he would CARL DUNDER. see dot If der door vhas open some thief must hat taken der fowls, und of what use to break oop my sleep? It vhas better for all of us dot we stop a leetle. You chill always find men who vhas in troubles because of not knowing a good thing when it vhas put at dem. I once offered a thief $2 in cash to keep avhay from my chickens, but one night he goes to steal an old rooster worth feefty cents und vhas lamed for life mit a charge of buckshot. Nopody can depend upon der pooblic. Then I vhas an honest aidermians, eat erybody believes I vhas dishonest und make ten t'ousand dollars out of some shobs. Then I goes by der legislature und makes $20,000 in one day, der peo ple hurrahed for me und called me "Dot Honest Dootchmans." One night Mrs. Dunder wakes me oop und says a burglar vhas in der house. "Thell, how vhas it?" I says. "You must drive him out" "Dot vbas no policy. It I drive him out, he comes back some other night. If I let him look aroundt und find not tings to steal, he not only walks avhay by himself, but he feels it Thas no use to come again." Then I vhas going home in a crowd ed street car der odder eatnings, I gif oop my seat to a fat man. "How vhas dot?" said one of my friends. "Hat you got some pity for dot man?" "Not a bit," says 1. "I simply git oop my scat to revenge on my fellow men. Doan' you see dot he takes oop twice my room und squeezes twice as many folks together?" M. Q U. Lieutenat Jones' Nerve. "The nerviest act I know of," said a Kansas man while discussing the world's brave deeds, "was performed by Lieutenant Jones of the company of marines that took John Brown at flar per's Ferry. Robert E. Lee had ad. vanced his 90 marines in i, semicircle about the armory in which Brown and his men had taken refuge. Then Lieu tenant Jones stepped out and coin menced to read the riot act to the men behind the armory walls, and, though they kept shooting at him, his voice never wavered, nor did he show any other sign of trepidation. I was in that company of marines."-Kansas City Journal. ________ Hailed. "Does that young woman hail from Boston?' "Yes," answered the youth thought fully; "that expresses the idea precise ly.

ENGLISH AS SHE'S WRITTEN A Telegram That Nearly Prostrated a Washington Man. A lamentable unfamiliarity with Eng lish as she Is Idiomatically "spoke" on her native heath is responsible for a bad quarter of an hour which a certain young lawyer of this town will not soon forget. Ills wife has most pro nouncedly correct tastes in everything, including dress. Such of her gowns as do not come direct from London town are built in New York by the most cor rect of English man milliners. When she made ready to go to Long Branch last summer, the young wife laid in a supply of clothes that should dazzle the natives. Her English man milliner was, however. provokingly slow about delivering things, and she was forced to set off without several of the frocks she had intended taking with her. For the first week after she went away she wrote to her devoted husband at home every day. For the second week she wrote every other day. In the third week four days passed without a line from her. On the fifth day a telegram was delivered at the young lawyer's office. "Wife's body forwarded this morn ing." The signature was a scrawl, but the message was enough to chill the very marrow of that young husband's bones. It had been sent from New York. le saw, in his mind's eye, his dainty little wife running up to town for a day's shopping. Ie thought of the frightful heat. He knew just.how it had all come about, and with a horror stricken face he dashed out into the street and fair ly ran to the house of his wife's sister to acquaint her with the frightful news. He was past speech when he reached the house, but he held out the fatal telegram. The sister read it. "Well," said she, "it's time he sent it She's been expecting it for six weeks. It's the one that goes with the pink chiffon skirt, I suppose."-Washington Post. COOLING DRINKS IN TURKEY. Beverages and Ices Sold on All the Main Streets. On all the main streets nearly overy other shop has a counter of white mar ble and large bottles of Iced water, lem onade, cherry sirup. pomegranate sirup or something of the sort. Green leaves surround the bottles, and a little ma chine keeps up a tinkling of glasses to attract the passersby. Certain shops are known for their specialties In cer tain sirups and others for their water, about which Turks are very particular and can tell at once from which of the many springs near the capital it comes. The streets swarm with itinerant sell ers with elaborate arrangements for keeping the water cold. Some have a regular booth where they dispense anything from water to a gazelle, which is the name for effervescing lemonade. The simplest method is that adopted by those who carry about a huge glass bottle holding about two gallons of lemonade on the mouth of which is bal anced a large lump of ice, continually dripping into the bottle. These drinks are the cheapest, one farthing a tum bler. Unfortunately the coin represent ing a farthing is almost extinct, so that the drinker has to drink two glasses or come back next day for the balance. The ice cream venders, too, must not be forgotten. Their picturesque get up is v-er5 distinctive, and they do a roar ing trade. The ices they sell are very pure, and one never hears of cases of illness among those eating them. The time when the men do their best busi ness with Europeans is at night after dinner. Every one is then sitting out side on the terraces or balconies over hanging the Bosporus. The ice man comes along in a boat and seems at once to supply a long felt want.-Con stantinople Cor. London Telegraph. A Story of Anthony Hope, Anthony Hope Hawkins, always a believer in men of letters standing by each other, worked tremendously hard to help on the fund which the Authors' society of London is trying to accumu late, from which pensions are to be paid to authors whose literary merit has not brought them a corresponding income and who view increasing years with fear. Once an unfortunate writer who vis ited Mr. Hawkins at his rooms in Buckigham street, by the Embank ment gardens, exclaimed on leaving with something in his pocket, "Oh, sir, I feel that Providence must have sent me to you!" And the reply came with a twinkle in his benefactor's eye, "Let us hope, however, that Providence will not ac quire the habit of doing so."-Argo naut. Camels In Water. Camels cannot swim. They are very buoyant, but ill balanced, and their heads go under water. They can, however, be taught to swim rivers with the aid of goatskins or jars fastened under their necks. During the Baluchistan expedition of 1898S the camels were lowered into the sea from the ships, and their drivers, plunging overboard, clambered on to the backs of their charges, causing the animals' heads to come up, and thus assisted they were successfully piloted ashore.

Why Are Some Vulgar and Others Aristocratic t Why do we respect some vegetables and despise Tters? The beau is a graceful. comprding. engaging vine, but you never c:an put beans into poetry or into the highest kind of prose. There is no dignity in the bean. ('orn-which in my garden grows alongside the bean, and, so far as I can see. with no affectation of superiority is, however, the child of song. It waves in all literature. Ilut mix it with beans, and its high tone is gone. Suc cotash is vulgar; it is the lean in it. The bean is a vulgar vegetable. with out culture or any navor of high socie ty among vegetables. Then there is the cucumber, like so many people. good for nothing when it Is ripe, and the wildness has gone out of it. How inferior to the melon, which grows upon a similar vine! The eu cumber is a sort of low comedian in a company where the melon is a minor gentleman. The lettuce is to me a most interest ing study. Lettuce is like conversation: it must be fresh and crisp. so sparkling that you scarcely notice the bitter in it. Lettuce. like most talkers, though. Is apt to run rapidly to seed. Blessed is that sort wh!ch comes to a head, and so remains-like a few peo ple I know-growing more solid and satisfactory and tender and whiter at the center. Lettuce, like conversation, requires a good deal of oil, to avoid friction and keep the company smooth; a pinch of Attic salt, a dash of pepper, mustard and vinegar, but so mixed that you will notice no sharp contrasts, and a trifle of sugar. I feel that I am in the best society when I am with lettuce. It is in the most select vegetable circle.-Charles Dudley Warner in "My Summer In a Garden." FOLDED TRANSFERS. They Increase a Conductor's Work and Are Trying to His Temper. "Some people have no sympathy for street car conductors," said one of their number after he had had a peculiarly lively time in making change and giv ing and collecting transfers, says the New York Times. "Now," continued the conductor, "there is one little matter that would save us lots of trouble if the people would only bear it in mind, and that is the way they hand in their transfers. "Some men and a few women know enough to hand us the little strips of paper just as they receive them-that is, spread out in such a way that we can glance at them. see that they are all right and then place them with the package already collected. The ma jority of people don't do this. and as a rule the women are the worst of the lot. "When a woman gets a transfer, she folds it up into as small a space as possible and then stows it away in her purse. When the time comes to collect this from her, she tishes the wad of pa per out of the purse. hands it to the conductor and sits back in her seat content with what she has done. "The conductor has to unfold this piece of paper to see if it is really the proper transfer. This takes time, and when there are a dozen women on the car all doing the same thing the poor conductor has more than he can do to keep his temper. Men as a rule don't fold their transfers, but content them selves with shoving the slips into their pockets andl then producing a crumpled piece of paper when it is- called for, tossing It to the conductor, who has to smooth it into shape. "The same people would never think of handing in a railroad or theater tick et in the same way." Stowaway Brides. Stowaway brides are not as rare at the barge offie as one would believe. It is quite easy for a girl to slip aboard an outgoing steamer and stow herself in one of the bunks below decks, lying quietly there until well at sea. A case happened a little while ago, the girl coming to meet her fiance here. As both were poor, the former resorted to this perilous expedient to accomplish the desired end. One would think that such a herole endeavor would de serve a better reception. But on arrlv lg, having been worked very hard on shipboard for passage, worn and wor ried- almost to distraction, the maiden was so changed by her ordeal ot love that when her betrothed met her he refused to marry her. A few days later, while being taken back to the ship for deportation, she leaped into the bay. Rescued gallantly, she linger ed a prisoner in the charity hospital. but died some weeks later, literally of a broken heart.-Alnslee's Magaralne. Strength In Aluminium. In reply to the question which. it Is said, metal workers frequently ask, "What is the strength of aluminium?" The AluminIum World says that cast aluminium is about equal in strength to cast iron in tension, while in resist ng compression it Is comparatively weak. Under transverse strain alu minium is not very rigid, but It will bend nearly double before breaking. The tensile strength of aluminium is greatly improved by forging and press ing at a temperature of 600 degrees F., and aluminium alloyed with nickel is much stronger than the pure metaL.
