OREGON A DBUNKEN BEAR. Bruin Acquired an Appetite for he Flowing Bowl A. Grtzaly That Got a Taste of Tipple anc liked It Delirium Tremens Put . ' cut End to His Dissipated . Career. '.'.-. . ' .' ' 'Way back in the 50s I was tempore rily handling the lines for the Sacra mento Overland State Company, and i was over lots of land, I tell yon, for mj route ran tu "7 of the Sierra evadas. One m?ht about sunset I was swinging along he rocky trail at p. pretty good, pace, a3 I wanted to reach Kabbit creek , befove dark, where we changed hoi'ses and got sup per, says the Kansas City Star. I had threa passengers, all men, and for freight carried a barrel of gir strapped on behind the stage. There was gin for '"Red Mike," who ran a fret and easy at the mining camp at Rabbit Creek. Suddenly my attention wat called by one of Oie passengers to a novel race which was going on down the side of the mountain between a miner and a grizzly bear, with the man about one hundred feet ahead running like a deer But the bear was gaining rapidly and it seemed that he had him . sure. when suddenly the miner tm-ned and darted off in another direction. ! The grizzly was slow in stopping, but when he did get straightened the way : he annihilated distance was a caution to catamounts. Several times the' miner played this trick, and on each occasion gained con siderable ground in one direction, but it could be seen he was rapidly tiring, and unless something happened the bear : was dead sure to get him. We were wondering what we could do to help the poor fellow when suddenly the leaders smelled the grizzly.' They snorted and pranced and started off on a dead run. I put on the brake, and it was all I' could do to stop them and wouldn't have succeeded only - the trail was up-grade. . . Well, when the horses made their jump the barrel of gin broke loose from its fastenings and Went .tearing down the mountain side toward the man and bear, who were coming along on a dead run. ' The man saw the bar' rel coming and avoided it but not so the ! grizzly. He stood up on his hind legs and, reaching out his fore paws, grabbed it. The way that barrel rolled him down the mountain would make a coyote laugh. ' The impromptu journey was brought to a sudden ending by an immense , bowlder, against which the bear and I barrel rolled. .The shock separated them,and, strange to sa3r, the barrel stood right side up with the head broken in and only a small portion of the contents was spilled. ' To say - the bear was surprised would be putting it light. ' i He thought he had his quarry and when he discovered it was only a bar rel his face took on an-expression of in tense disgust. However, as is natural for a "bear, he began to lick his shaggy coat, which had been sprinkled with some of the gin. The taste was ap parently agreeable, as he kept on ab sorbing the liquor with his rough tongue until the flavor disappeared. Then he went over and smelled of the barrel. The inspection-was undoubted ly highly satisfactory, as he inserted his snout and took a sup, then he took a good long draught, and in less than half an hour that bear was as drunk as a lord. We watched the proceedings with in terest, and after we were satisfied th bear had a jag on, we went down, tied him up with ropes, dragged him up the hill and threw him inside the stage. We drove on to Rabbit Creek and sold the drunken grizzly to "Red Mike" for $100, and he chained him up in the cor ner of his saloon and kept him as a curi osity to draw trade. I Well, ho did draw trade. "Mike" gave him a quart of whisky a day, and after awhile he became so docile that his chain was removed. After that for may years he would sleep around the barroom and when one of the boys would come and ask- the house to drink . the grizzly would walk tip to the bar, stand on his hind legs, and wait to be served with a tincupful of whisky. He was a source of great income, but, un fortunately, being attacked with de lirium tremens one day, he killed the bartender and a miner with one blow of his powerful paw, and it required twenty Winchesters and about one hun dred pounds of lead to cure him of his uncontrollable passion for intoxicants. Canned l-'ruit from I'oxnpeil. Do you know that we are indebted to the old Pompeians who lived in the first century of Christian era for our knowl edge of how to can fruit? Perhaps not, but it is a fact, nevertheless. Years ago, says the Philadelphia Press, when ex cavations were first beiii? made on the site of the old lava-covered city, a party from America found a jar of fig's; not only one but several. Upon opening one of them the contents were found to be as fresh, and perfect as when first put into the jar nineteen centuries be fore!. Investigations instituted on the spot proved that the fruit had been put j into the jars in a highly heated state, ' and that an aperture for the escape of ' steam nad been left in the lid, which, when it -had served its purpose, was - sealed over with wax. Yankee ingenu ity caught the idea at once and the next year canning factories were erected all over the United States. .The tliipancsv Aotli'or. . 1 In Japan, when un author is ready tc put his ideas on papt-; lie shuts himsell in his study and begins painting at the back of all. the pages of M3 new book.

Looking at the map one may see that the northwest corner of the state of Washington is torn off, and the space that is left is filled with water, dotted with an . archipelago. ..- The island of Vancouver fits partially into the gaping corner as if it had been torn out by some gigantic convulsion. The tatters and debris of the rent form the archi pelago. Our national interest centered in that corner long ago wnen mai por tion of the boundary was in dispute, and the tension of a u. war f eeling was only relieved when a foreign- arbitrator set tled the boundary, and gave us the island of San Juan, the most important in the group. The city of Victoria, writes' Julian Ralph in Harper's Maga zine, confines nearly all the population on that corner of Vancouver island: thc city of Vancouver is the main settle ment on the British Columbia .shore, and on our borders are such little placec as Whatcom, New Dungeness, and Port Angeles,, in the state of YY aslnngton. Port Townsend, on Puget sound, is the principal American town near by, and CUBtom3 officials who are supposed to d the smuggling and who entled tQ tnJ presnmption that d their in this dircc. tion. Victoria has only twenty tuou- sand population, Vancouver fewer still, and the islands only here and there a house. Deer abound upon these islands, which are heavily timbered, and the waterways between them feel the keels of but few vessels of none at all, ex cept the smallest craft, outside the main channels. It would be hard to imagine a more difficult region to police, or a fairer field for smugglers. Old London itself has scarcely a greater tangle of crooked and confusing thoroughfares than this archipelago possesses, und these waterways are so narrow and sheltered that mere oarsmen can safely and easily travel many. of. them." It is a smuggler's paradise. Those who transport the Chinamen are all" white ' men. The resident Chi nese act as their confederates and as the agents of the smuggled men, but do no part of the actual smuggling, that is to say, the boating. The great smug gling is of opium. The introduction ol the Chinese themselves is of small ac count, so far as the defiance of our laws is concerned, as compared with the in troduction of opiuni. Yet that exten sive business also is carried on by white men. The Chinese can not pass to aDd fro as white men can, therefore they leave the traffic to the whites. These white men are of the class one would expect to find in such businesr A eovernment employe in Victoria told me that I would "be surprised to know what important and respectable per sons were connected with the smug gling," but as he. gave mc no further enlightenment, and as I failed to ob tain any proof that any number of so called respectable men profited directly by the business, I did not and do not believe that there are many such. Those who do the smuggling of the Chinese are unprincipled and reckless charac ters. They make their bargains with those Chinese whose -business it-istc arrange for the carriage of their coun trymen into our country. The boats employed are small sail-boats, and quite as small steam-launches. When the owner of one of these boats has secured a sufficient number of Chinese to make the venture profitable if it succeeds, the journey is made at night, without com pliance with the law which requires vessels sailing after dark to display lights at their sides. At times the con trabands are landed near Whatcom, at times near Port Angeles or New Dunge ness. San Juan island, within our border, is onlv twelve miles from Vic toria, and has a few Chinese resident upon it. At times Chinamen are car ried there. Once there they can cross to the mainland with more freedom, and with a possibility of obtaining testi mony to the effect that they are and have long been domiciled on American soil. The smugglers charge twenty dol lars to twenty-five , dollars for landing each Chinaman on our coast; twenty dollars is the ordinary and usual charge. ' Wherever the Chinamen- are landed they find either men of then own nationality to secrete them, or white men awaiting their arrival, and ready to take them to some Chinese quarters. Once on land the danger of arrest is trreatlv lessened, ana atter a newly-smuggled Chinaman has made his way to one of the larger towns or cities near the coast, his fear of detention by our government vanishes entirely. Descendants of Great Men. It is a noticeable fact that great men seldom leave direct descendants. Na poleon, Wellington, Washington, all prove the rule. Shakespeare left only two daughters, whose children died without issue. Probably the nearest relative to the great poet now living is one Thomas Hart, a resident of Aus tralia, who is said to be the eighth in descent from Shakespeare's sister Joan. Walter Scott's line ended with the sec ond or third generation. It is also a notable fact that great men rarely leave great descendants, as witness Bismarck and Gladstone. Among other celeb rities who left no direct : heir was Beaconsfield. A Terrible Rifle. : The very latest invention in the way of magazine small arms, and one not yet submitted to the United States army l.r.i, is the gun that has just been put i.-i -test by the Italian authorities.

JONAH AND THE WHALE, A. Salt "Lake Minister tiivrs an Kxplana Uoa of thf stury. "Doctor," said a Sal t Luke Tribune re porter to a city minister, 'i-i there not a natural explanation of the whale's swallowing of Jonah?"' "Yes. In the first place there- is noth ing in the Hebrew to show that it was what we call a whale. The v6rd trans lated into both the Scptua;-rint and the New Testament by the (.in-ek 'ICatos' means simply a sea monster; and this word' was the cue used bj- onr Lord in his reference to this account of Jonah (Matthew xii., 39-41). So far, therefore," as the Hebrew or Greek words are con cerned the fish may have been a- whale, a shark, a sea serpent or any other large monster of the deep. Hence,- there is nothing incredible in the statement that Jonah, upon being thrown into the sea, was quickly overtaken by a sea monster and swallowed without suffer ing any mutilation, providing the .monster was .large enough. It is well known that the waters through which a vessel in sailing from .loppa to any .Spanish port must puss wv.ro frequented, in early times, by a species of shark called sea-dog, havir.jr a throat large enough to swallow a inan whole. The French naturalist. I.suM pode, ' in his 'Histoire des Ppissons.'.RtaU's that sea dogs have a lower jaw of m arly six feet In semi-circular extent: hU-h enables us to understand how they fan swallow en tire animals as large or iarjri-r than our selves. Ulumenbitoh. tin; Ut.'rrnan zoolo gist, in his 'Manual of Natural History, is authority for the additional facts that sea-dogs have been luki n weighing five tons, and that a horse has been found whole in the stomach of a sea-dog. And Pliny, 50 A. D., gives ' an account of the skeleton of a sea monster forty feet long, whoso ribs were hihor than those ot an Indian elephant. This skeleton, Pliny says, vas brought from Joppa, a sity of Judea, and exhibited in Rome by M. Scaurus.' " . Dr. S. F.
