O'i of the miaat atrlklng character that
ever lived in the character gathering com-
mutiny of Hot hpring. Ark., waa old
htrphen Hutherfonl. He kept a aort of
riwlhouap, which he dcaiunaled aa Hear
I'ark, and mail bia living by admlniater-
ing to the t hi rat and catering to the amtiae
nieut of the wayfaring man. Tliearatiae
nient couaiated of a black bear old, lazy
and flea bitten. Thla animal, adverttard aa
of miaat furioua iliaaition, waa kept
chained to a tree in tbe lack lot, and at
evening, when the accommodating duak
threw biding ahad over the hear' tnit
inking fun lt i. e., lazineaa and flea hi tea
Id Steve would announce to hia gueata
that he waa now alamt to engage in tbe
dangeroua feat of wrratling with the fero
eloua mouater from the Miaaiaaippl awampa.
Thiwe who knew the trick drank their brer
in unconcern, but tboaewhodid not paid
83 cent and paaard iuto the back lot to are
tbe deaperate encounter.
One afternoon, when old latere waa alt-
ting on hi veranda, a man from the moun
tains ram along, driving a red mule and
white aterr bitched to a abaky aud creaky
wagon. In t lie wagon there were a few
email cabbage ami a black larar.
Say," aaid the mountain man, atopping
hi team, "don t you want to buy the nueat
b'ar you erer aeen?"
No," Steve replied. "Got all tbe b'ar I
want."
"Hut you ain't got no aecb h'ar aa thla
here one."
"No, aud I don't waut no arch kitten of
thing a that."
Now, look here, niiatrr, that ain't do
way to do inault man'a b'ar. I bare trav
eled TS mile with tbi h'ar. and you air tbt
ftiat man that haa offered him inaiilt.
That ain't oharrrin the common courteaiea
that I due a b'ar that ain't never done you
Do barm. But putt lu that all to one aide,

"I told you that I're got all tbe b'ar I
want," old Steve aharply replied.
The mountain man gathered up hi hick
ory flail a if he would drive on. but then.
with the appraranc of baring changed bia
mind, atrrtrhrd bla long neck toward old
Slev and aaid:
"When you aay you're got all the b'ar
you want. I reckon you mean that mouaa
gnawed and bug eat invalid out yandar ta

Steve got up, aud mastering hi anger
and attempting to prak In a quiet way
aaid: "I have la-en livin her a good whiie
and I'arued how to lar amootb in my man
Drre, but when a man tbal I ain't never

willfully luaulta a mrmher of my family,
why, It'a time for me to act."
"I don't know notuln about jef family
and wouldn't, ther fu', inault a mem brr of

that thla her h'ar la a kitten of a thing,
