The Queen Weald Feel Hart.
A friend of mine told me of a pathetic
incident that took place the other evening
when the Britishers were being natural
ised. One old fellow conld not see the
print on the naturalization paper, so he
got a friend to read it. When the words
“renounce forever all allegiance and
fidelity tq every foreign prince, state,
potentate and sovereignty whatsoever—
more especially to Victoria, queen of the
united kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land,” were reached—the old man’s eyes
grew moist, and he said with a tone of
sadness in his voice: 'Tve been a faithful
subject of her for more than thirty five
years, and I don’t know how she'll feel
about it’’ But then the thought of the
republic where he had made his home for
years came to him and, rubbing his big
hand across hto eyes, he signed the paper
that made him a citizen. I repeat the
story because it seems to me to illustrate
so well the peculiar feeling of loyalty
which animates an Englishman, not
only toward hto “tight little isle," but
toward the sovereign who represents its
government.—Boston Poet.

the approach of the Jewish holidays. It
to said that the Hebrews are great con

out an’ find a silver dollar rollin’ up hill,
an' my name gouged in Jt.”
“Don’t ye he so consarned sure o’ that,
’squire," said the Old Settler mysterious
ly, and, with a knowin' shake of his head,
“I’ve been a thinkin’ a leetlesence readin’
’bout them signs o’ gas, b’gosh! I han’t

I wouldn’t do it. Ye mowt remember th’t

bat th't ye didn’t think any of ’em had it
so bad oz that. But 1 ain’t a boldin' no
gredge, aa’ now I’ll tell ye sumpln’ that’ll
s'prMio ye.
“E* 1 tol’ ye at the time, 'squire, I got
the tip ten year ago this month, th’t un
less sometKxly went np to Steve Groner’s
hill plane »n’ poured a pound or two o’
lead later a big b’ar th’t had squatted on
the farm, th't Steve wouldn’t hev no live
stock left to perride pork an' lieef fer his
wiuieri.i’ over, even if lie managed to keep
hisself an’ fam’ly thcirselfs from linin’ th’
b'ar’s iuanrds. 1 shouldered my gun an’
went up to Steve’s to hev some fun with
bruin, an’ to save Steve’s stock an’ resky
hhn an' his folk* from the rampagin’ b'ar
“ ‘He's a rip snorter,’ Steve says to me,
we n I pot thar. ‘He don’t think nuthin’
o’ iuggta’ off a cow,’ he says, ‘an’ ye
don’t wante! hev yer weather eye shet
w'en you an’ him come* together,’ he says.
“ ‘B’ars,’ I says to Steve,”‘b’ars is nuts
fer mo, nn’ the bigger an’ sassricr they be,’
I says, ’the more I in’jy ’em,’ I says, an’
with that I dim’ inter the woods to show
bruin th't th’ wa’n’t room enough here
below fer me an* him both. ’Tain’t nec
essary for mo to tell o' the half dozen or
more lively skrinimeges me an* that b’ar
had ez we fullered an’ ohased one another
round an’ round them woods—how he’d
hide fthind some big tree or stump, an’ ez
1 went by, diinb on to me with all four o’
bto feet an’ yaiijt an’ bite an* claw an’ dig
meat nn' clothe* often me till I slung him
off an' made him skin away to save hto
bacon; an' how I'd lay the same way fer
him, an' w’en he come sneakin’ ’long arter
me again, pitch arter him like a mad
painter, an' swat an’ pound’ an’ choke an’
rassei him till his tongue hung ont, till I
were sorry fer him, an’ let him git away
inter the brush agin to recooperate fer the
nezt round. ’Taint wuth w'He fer me to
say anything ’bout them littleskrimmages
’cept the lust un, an* that un wa’n’t a
akrimmnge’ but sumpin’ that’d a skeert
some folks dead in their tracks.
“Arter havin' a half a dozen or so o’
rassel* with this big b’ar jist fer fun, I
made up my miud, ez ’twere gettin’ late,
an’ ez Steve Grouer’s folks was mebby
feelln’anxious to hear which was gointer
run the farm, them or the b'ar, th’t the
next heat with bruin would be for keepe.
I guess the ol’ feller had made up his
mind the same way, fer when I run agin
him the las' time he were riz np on hto
hind legs right on the edge o’ Deep Rock
Gully, an’ were waitin’ for me with his
jaws wide open. I unslung my gun, an’
takin’ aim at one o' the b’ar's fore paws,
thought I’d wing him an' make him come
away from the edge o' the gully ’fore I
tackled Ifim. The ball hit the paw an’
the b’ar th row’d ’em both np. Bat he
throw'd ’em up too far, an' he fell over
back'rds, an’ went head foremost inter
the gully. Deep Rock Gully hain't an
Inch less’n fifty foot from top to bottom,
an’ the walls to ez steep ez the side of a
house. I went up to the edge an’ looked
over. There were the b’ar layin’ on hto
face at the bottom, whar them queer
cracks to in the ground, an’ he were a
howlin’ like a hurricane an’ kickin’ llkaji
mule. Ther he laid, an' he wa’nt able to
raise up. Th’ wa’n’t no way o' gettin’
down to him ’oept by tumblin' down ez
be bad, an’ if ever anybody were poppln’
mad I were, ex I see my meat a layin'
at the bottom o’ that gulley, an’ the crows
a-gethcria’ to hev a picnic with It The
more I kep’ tny eyes on that b’ar the
madder I got, an’ 1 were jist about to roll
an’ tumble an* slide down the side o’ that

let the crows steal a b'ar away
from me, w’en I zee a funny change

sight was so oncommon out o’ the reg'lar
way b’ars has o’ actin’ that it seemed
•keery, an’ I felt ez if I’d ruther be home
diggln’ my ’tatert. But I kep’ on gazin’
at the b’ar a dreusin’ at the bottom o' the
gully, and 'twan’t long ’fore the hull big
carcase begun to raise right up offen the
ground an’ come a-floutin' up outen that
gully, fer all the world ez if ’twan't
more'n a feather. The b’ar come up-
’ards tail foremost, an' I noticed th’t he
looked consid'able puffed out like, makin’
him seem like a iiar’l sailin’ in the air.
Ez the b'ar kim afloatin’ out o’ the dep’e
I could feel my eyes begin to bulge an’
my knees to shake like • Jumpin’ jack's.
But 1 couldn’t move no more’n a stun
wall kin, an’ thar I stood on the edge o’
the gulley starin’ at the b’ar ez It sailed
on up fords me. The b’ar were makin'
a desper’t effort to git itaeif back to its
nal’ral p’sition on all fours, but th’ wa’n’t
no use, an’ up he sailed, tall foremost an’
lookin’ ez if he were gointer bust the next
minute, he were swelled out eo Ex the
b’ar bobbed up and passed by me I could
ha’ reached out an’ grabbed him by the
paw, an’ 1 think he wanted me to, the
way he acted, but I couldn’t ha’ made a
move to stop him, not if he’d ha’ ben my
gran'mother. The b'ar sailed on above
me, an’ th’ were a look in his eyes th't
1 won’t never ferget. It was a skeert
look, an’ a look that seemed to say th’t It
were all my fault, an’ th’t I’d be sorry fer
it some time. The b’ar squirmed an*
struggled agin cornin’ to setch an onheerd
on end, but up’ards lie went, tail fore
most, to’ards the clouds.
“I stood thar par’lyzed w’le the b’ar
went up’ard The crows that had lieen
settlin’ round in the trees, ’spectin’ to hev
a bully meal, went to flyin’ an' scootin’
around the onfortnit b’ar, an' yelled till I
were durn nigh deef It wa’n’t until the
b’ar had floated up nigh onto a hundred
yards in the air, an’ begun to look like a
Ilyin’ cub, that my senses kim hack to me.
Quick ez a flash I rammed a load inter my
rifle, wrappin’ the ball with a big piece o’
dry linen, not havin’ time to tear it to the
right size Then I took aim an’ let her
go. Fast ez that ball went I could see
that the linin’ round it had been sot on
Are by the powder. The ball overtook the
b’ar and bored a hole in his side Then
the funniest thing of all happened. A
streak o’ lire a yard long shot out o’ the'
b’ar's side whar the bullet had gone in,
an’ ez long as that poor bewitched b ar
were in sight—fer o’ coarse I tbort at the
time th’t the b’ar were bewitched—I could
see that streak o’ fire sailin’ along in the
sky till it went out at last like a shoutin'
star. 1 never know’d w’at become o’ the
b’ar, an’ the hull thing were a startlin’
mysf ry to me, but I kim home, ’Mquire,
an' tol’ ye the story, jest ez I’ve tol’ it to
ye now, an’ ye were so dura polite th’t ye
said I were a liar. But '«nce I’ve been a
thinkin’ an’ recollectin', ’Squire, I don't
hold no gredge. The mysf ry’s plain ez
day, now. we'don’t want no better signs
o’ gas th’n that, do we, ’Squiref”
“T what?" said tfte ’squire.
“T’..an what!” exclaimed tRt-CM Set
tler. “Than that b’nr, o’course! That’s
w’at ailed him. It’s plain enough th’t
thus naf ral gaa on the Groner place, an*
th’t It leaks outen-the ground in Deep
Rock Gully. Wen th’t b’ar tumbled to
the bottom th’t day lie fell on his face.
He were hurt so th’t lie’ couldn’t get up.
O’ course the gas didn't shet itself off,
but kep' on a leakin’ an’ shot up inter the
b'ar’s mouth and down his throat. The
onfortnit b'ar eouldn’t help hisself, an’
bimby he were filled with gas like a bal
loon, till he had to float, an' away he
safled, up an' np an* up. W’en 1 fired at
the b'ar, ez he was floatin' to’ards the
cloud*, tlie linen on the bullet c*rried fire
with it, an' w’en the bullet tapped the
b'ar's tide the burnin' linen sot it on fire,
showln’ th’t th’ can't be no doubt 'bout
it bein’ gas th’t the b'ar swallowed In
Deep Rock Gully. So ve see, 'Squire, 1
wa’u't no liar, an’ the chances is all In
favor o’ your seein' a balloon h'lsted from
gas right in yer own bailiwick afore ye

The 'Squire gazed at the Old Settler In
silent amazement for a minute or more.
Then he threw up his hands and said:

Paris has a very gallant blind man.

lady, and then steps ont into view, hat in

Storing Potatoes for Sood.
A successful potato grower in Ohio ex
presses the opinion that it will pay form
ers to retard the sprouting of potatoes in
late winter and spring by artificial means,
such as cold storage. There is no doubt
that tha seed exhausts itself by sprout
ing in the cellar, and ite value in conse
quence ia greatly diminished. It ia sug
gested that not a little of the snccess of
the Aroostook, Me., potato growers is due
to their naturally late spring, which keeps
the seed from growing until it is placed in
the ground.
