Clemens (Mark Twain), who delivered a characteristic speech ? 4 ' > the other night in Carnegie hall. New gP$|p York, at the celebra tion of the twenty- | fifty anniversary cf the founding of -V Tuskegee by Book sr T. Washington, . spoke as follows on morals: C Vc. **At Tuskegee they thoroughly teach . ^ the student the Christian code of morf" als; that he should in all things be a Christian. ?-V X "All this is true, and no student will , leave Tuskegee ignorant of it Then Y'.pY what will he lack under this head? rv>XT What is there for me to teach him? '$/ }" " Why. this large fact this Important' ' / fact?ttat there are two separate and ^ V v distinct kinds of Christian morals; so separate, so distinct so unrelated, that jVu- they are no more kin to each other than are archangels and politicians. The one ' Y hind is Christian private morals, the YYother is Christian public morals. The YY loyal observance of Christian private , V morals has made this nation what it is V?a clean and upright people in its private domestic life, an honest and hon.y'I or&blepeople in its private commercial life. ^ r "During 863 days in the year the ^ American citizen 1s true to his Chris:A;;, ^ - tian private morals and keeps unde ?.y filed the nation's character. On the 'ff; * other two days of the year he leaves k1 v iiis Christian private morals at home .. ixnd carries his Christian public morals ) "P'f to the tax office and the polls and does tiie. best he can to damage and undo ^ his whole year's faithful and righteous work. Without a blush he will vote for an unclean boss If that boss is his party's Moses. Without compunction he will vote against the best man in the , f .r * -whole land if he is on the other ticket. Every year in a number of cities and states be helps to put corrupt men in office; every year he helps to extend the corruption wider and wider. Year after year be goes on gradually rotting the country's political life, whereas if he ; would but throw away his Christian 4 ' -v - ' public morals and carry his Christian private morals to the polls he could promptly purify the public service and make the possession of office a high and honorable distinction and one to be . coveted by the very best men the country could furnish. But now?well, now ' he contemplates his unpatriotic work ' - and sighs and grieves and blames every man but the right one, which is * * himself. "Once a year he lays aside his Christian private morals and hires a ferryboat and piles up his bonds in a ware.1 house in New Jersey for three days, and gets out his Christian public morals and goes to the tax office and holds up his hand and swears he wishes he may never?never if he's got a cent in - the world, so help him!

Chey KJlled Three of XShem and DroDe A>tvay the Fourth. The Fair Huntresses Did fiot Lose fierce. Probably the most remarkable hunting adventure ever experienced by women was that which recently happened to Mrs. Frank Woodward and Miss Ethel Williams, the first of Luce and the second of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Within a few minutes these young women, who were alone half a mile from any house, encountered four big bears, killed three of them and wounded the fourth so badly that Dr. Wood Vy\: :: ^j|> 5": -ji MBit HXllT^ ^ I "SHOOT, jfl'H Kli, SHOOT!" ward, Mrs. Woodward's husband, easily tracked it down and dispatched it the same day. Mrs. Woodward has a reputation throughout Michigan and Wisconsin as a huntress'. She is the daughter of Henry Baldwin, who until recently was at the head of a large Pittsburg colliery company, and is known by many in Syracuse, N. Y? where she lived for several years. On account of consumption Dr. Woodward went into tiie Micnigan norm wooas soon iuiei his marriage and became a professional wolf hunter. His" wife took an active part in the wilderness life, carried a gun, set traps and helped to kill many of the beasts, for which the state offers a bounty. During the last five years the Woodwards have made over $10,000 in wolf hunting and have won a wide reputation. During her life in the woods as a professional wolf hunter Mrs. Woodward has had many stirring advsntures, but never one to compare with that of a short time ago. Miss Woodward was visiting her friend in Luce county, where the Woodwards have made their home for about a year. During her stay the wolf huntress took her friend on many little hunting excursions in the woods, and Miss Williams soon became so enthusiastic that she willingly carried and practiced with one of the rifles of her hostess. She shot several wolves that were caught in traps, killed a treed wildcat and soon became quite expert. On the morning of the adventure with the bears Mrs. Woodward and Miss Williams set out xor a ueey pan of the woods for the roots of some magnificent ferns that grew there, a few of which Miss Williams wished to take home with her. The woods about Luce and, in facl, throughout that and adjoining counties have been swarming with bears, but Mrs. Woodward expressed herself as not afraid of the bigKnoi. ir> YU/->Mcrnn Rtlt shp hflrdlv UVU1 AM 4IA*VM40??>M ?- '?w ~ w bargained for four. The two young women had just reached the little boggy hollow in which the ferns grew, and Mrs. Woodward was busy with a spade, when Miss Williams gave a scream. "Look! Look!" she cried.

Mrs. Woodward caught up her rifle and smiled at the evident fright of her friend. She had killed many bears and knew that this one could not escape her. Just as she was on the point of firing she was so startled by the appearance of another bear behind the first that her shot failed to bring down bruin. The animal, however, ran off into the woods and was afterward found wounded. To the terror of Miss Williams, a third bear followed the second, and when still another came out into the open Mrs. Woodwerd cried for her companion to use he:* gun. Two of the animals were full grown; the fourth was quite small. "Shoot, Ethel; shoot!" screamed Mrs. Woodward. The first shot of the wolf huntress, or, rather, the first after her wild shot at bruin No. 1, went squarely through the head of the second bear. Mrs. Woodward's gun was a seven shot, and while Miss Williams was firing wildlj she fired two shots into the largest ol the two remaining bears. These shots were unfortunate, however, and the big animal was rushing across the oper toward them and was not fifty feel away when a shot from Miss Williams ended the career of bruin No. 3. Meanwhile the smaller bear seeming ly had been too astonished to move, bu1 now began to beat a hasty retreat Both of the young women began firing at him, and before he reached the edg( of the woods the animal was perforat ed several times. Hastily leaving tnr? dead bears, the huntresses hurriec through the woods and secured the aid of Dr. Woodward and another man The first bear which Mrs. Woodward killed was one of the largest ever shol In Luce county, and a beautiful rug made from Its skin will adorn Miss Williams' home In Sault Ste.
