We mast beg tbe iudalgence of our reader this wek fr isuiDg Th Kirker two day a late, and for tL woeful lack of editorial and local matin Last Sunday we had an invitation to join a party ef .campers on Bill Will iams roouctair, and oar family ddk- tor looed at cur editorial torgae and advued ns to accept. We found the party pleasantly located at an aU titade of 2,784 ftet above the aea. There were five gentlemen from Cin cinnati, a poet from St. Louia and an artist from Chicago. On the morn ing of the second daj we set out to how- tbe artist a grand cliff which he proposed to transfer to canvas, and the poet went along in hopes to catch a Lappy inspiration. The three of us had nearly reached the cliff when- he suddenly encountered a grizzly Lear who was out for busi iness. Tbe surprise was mutual, bat the pleainte teemed to le all :.n one aide. TLeartibt disappeared smon I the rocks to the right and the poet a propes to circa!t in erery dis among the bruah to the left, and for ; iot of the country a 1 1 card show- 60 seconds we were left facing old 1, Pl' L", re on , . .

For tbe benefit of such readers haven't studied natural history, we will state that the grizzly bear is an animal about tbe six, of a . Queen Anne cottage and appears to have a veranda bailt all around him to im prove bis style of architecture, lit differs from an eleph.ntin having teeth aboot a foot long, and no one bearing bis claws rattling on tbe rocks could (mistake him for buffalo bull. Way back, before Christopher Colombo d uoovcred America, some thing happened to make the grizzly bear .mad at aU mankind, and this feeling has descended down to the lattst edition. That bear not only got hia dauder up inside cf 10 sec onds, but it wasn't half a minute bo fore he ba) fully made up hia mind that we were hia znu'too. When he moved for uf, we moved for a tree. We beat him by a few second. We i never Lad any particular oueincfs dealings with . a grza'y bear before, . a but it atrock u that we coaldn t move oo rapidly nor climb too high. Wnen we rccoveied cooscioasnoas, we wre tested on the limb of a tree 20 feet alove the earth, and the be.r was looking up at us with an ezpres sion of curiosity and disappoint ment. At some stge of the gme be may bay ran acrcss an Arizona I twliior avhrt Lad failed in but in ess aaa commuted suirtae, out we aom . . . ... . i . 1 believe b had ever seen a live one before. He bad ocnote on ' a sure thing and got left, and for some tain oUs his chagrin was plainly appar ent We supposed, as a matter of course, that after realizing the titua- tion the critter would start ou wttn an ambition to pick up lie art t or tdi'.orial tbe f oer. but be wanted meat and was willing to wan lor it. . . .... - . ?. It was r 10 o'clock in the morbiig when he treed as. We were there at high noon, at sundown, - sA day break next mornicg. The bear staid right by us, and we staid right by the bear. Thete was but little ro- manoe in the situation for Q pd vre couldn't Say bat the bear appeared to take solid eomftrt. We hu bev er seen anything iu natural history aboot a man np a tree in Arizona ana a grizz'y waiting for kim to drop into a red mouthed civcrn ornament d with ivory !epikca! and could only give a rough uees ." as to how long the situation would continue to be strained. We weie somewhat troubled with insounia, lnt so w sp the bear, and this latter fact was something of a conclusion. Wi- had to tey awake to maintain bur hold cn tbe limb, and he had to do tbe rame thing to as not to miss us in p ee we came t-ff the perch. About midnifiht a larize and well kept mountain Hon diecoy red our situation and came down on ca wi h many pleasant anticipatiuns, and we almost felt sorry tor him wbeu he made out the true state of affairs. The grizzly selfishly rt fused to whack iup op the 'find and after tquandencg . au hoar of his valuable time the lion went cfftowarJ camp to-see H he conldnl pick up some thing good on his own account' We couldnl eo to tte gentiemea to cacap, ana ney iearcneaia ice ' it wrong direcuon to locate a, itur we had been pe cbed in tbe tree Hi hoarp, most of the time looking the bear full In the face, we began to no tice a change of expression.

TTes, a fire hundred dollar green back has a rich, juicy loolt said a Chicago drummer at, a Detroit hotel the other even log M a 1111 of that denomination ' was pjsssod around, "but one with the figures 11,000' oa the corners looks just too sweet for anything. I rxwaeaeed one for sev eral days once upon a time, and thereby hangs a tale." "A tale of woe?" -was asked. . "It certainly la. Gentlemen. I am going to tell you of a mean Utile ac tlon In my career, and I hope you will not judge me too harshly. I hare done penance tor it fifty times orer, and fire times one thousand dollars would not tempt me again. One day about ten- years ago I dropped Into the First national bank of St. Louis to get a few dollars for expenses. -A man left tbe cashier's window just as I adranced to It, and while I was standing there my eye caught sight ot a greenback at my feet. I picked It up intending to hand it to the cashier, but when I saw tbe figures '$1,000' on tbe cor ner I was paralyxed with astonish ment.. Yes, sir. It: was a one-tbou-sand-dollar greenback, the first and last one I ever bad my fingers on. I caught my breath like one choking, and when the cashier banded me out seventy-five dollars and made some remark about the weather I couldn't get a word out to save my life." "The man wh preceded you dropped the bill, of ;ourse?V "Not a doubt cf It. As I said. I meant to be honest and pass it La," but the tempter wis too strong for Oft. After I had bad that bill for one minute I'd have fought to re tain possession. X picked up my cash and hurried out and got Into a doorway and' looked at my find again. It was a one-thousand-dollar greenback acd no mistake. I was exactly a fat, lump one thou sand dollars ahead of tbe game. That meant a new ault ot clothes dia mond 'pin champagne suppers several gamra ot pcxer and cigars carefully wrapped; la tln-folL For ten minutes I was jubilant and wanted to jump up and yell and pat somebody on the back. Then came tbe. reaction." "What sort of reaction?- "Well, you may not believe It, but that still, small tolce called con science began to whisper to me. It seemed to me that every man I met knew that I had that bUL I felt that I was no better than a thief. Twice during the afternoon I was slapped on the back by acquaint ances, and each time I jumped a foot high and had a brief vision ot the criss-cross bars sod convict stripes. Say, now, but I was tempted to re turn to the bank and do tbe square thing, wbetner you believe me or no, but I m ashamed to say I lacked the moral courage. I figured that the loser had already returned to re port his loss, and It would be known that I had walked, off with my Cod. I finally decided U keep the bill for a dsy or two and see if It was adver tised. I badnt long to wait. found ilt at . ele nt o'clock In tbe forenoon, and Its loss was adver tlsed In the evening papers, with a reward of fifty do&ars to tbe finder. "And you took tt back, ot course. "o, I didn't. ' Here's the moral. gentleman: Stop to argue with aod combat conscience,1 and you become a rascal. After a five-hours' fight I beat , conscience - and made myself believe I had a perfect moral right to keep that find. I Then came the Question of bow to use It. 1 didn't are to offer tt In Indianapolis, ot course, and was gobg for a three weeks' trip through the small towns, where tbe sight of a bill like that would have astonished everybody. I feared to carry It In any or my pockets, as I might be robbed, and after cogitatin lor. two hours, 1 tucked it away la my shoe. 8ce? wear extra soles, supposed to be charged with electricity and good for rheumatics, I placed the bill In a piece of paper, and laid It under the sole of the right shoe. . After spending two days In Indianapolis I started for Lebanon. Got there at midnight and piled right Into bed. Two hours later there was fire which didn't do much damage, but routed every body out. Ija powerfully nervous about fires, and when I woke bp In the smoke I grabbed my dads and went down tbe fire escapes," i "Taking your, one thousand dol lar pair ot shoes, pi course?" "iS'o. I got out with my rest and trousers alone. When the blaze was out and I returned to my room some one had the rest of my outfit, grip and all. Indeed, half a dozen other guests had been, robbed as welL I didn't want to loae that money, and I didn't want to let on that 1 had It in my shoe. I therefore went to the sheriff and told him a cock-and-bull story about rheumatic losoles and offered him twenty-five dollars to get my shoes; , He made a good hunt, but couldn't find them. After !

The clerk of th bout had called at the bank to get a thousand-dollar bCl busted and oa being questioned be bad skipped out lie couldn't account for having so much money In his possession, .being a youag man and In poor circum stances, but there was no charge against him. No ooe bad complained of losing such a bill. I started for the bank to tell my story, but It suddenly occurred to me that I was n a fix. Where did I get the bill? Why was 1 hiding It in my shoe? Why didn't I tell the sheriff about the money? Why hadn't I com plained of the robbery? I aaw tbe banker and took notice that he was the sort of chap to co to the bottom of things, and as he was the guardian of the bill, so to ssy, 1 would doubt- ess bare to prove my claim in a court of law."

The Cttlrtaa Laundry TkkeU Probably not ooe person In a thou sand understands the true interpre ts lion of the Chinese laundry ticket. The Celestials have a system ot their own. It Is based on tbe many gods and goddesses of the Isosdry. Although the system Is a very com- SUcaied.oce seldom does a Chinese iundryman deliver a package of washing to the wrong person. Fur thermore, if the ticket is lost the chances are that you will not get Cour linen, unless you be a partlou ir friend of the proprietor. In stances are on record where aa American has gone to coart'ta force the Chinese to yield up tbe washing. but the judge was not convinced that the case of the white man was good one. f The Chinese laundrymaa at the begin olsg of each week makes out a batch of checks. In duplicate, to be used as wash tickets. He selects the name of some god or goddess, or of acme object, as the sun, the moon of the stars. . To this name be pre fixes a number, as "VI ooe. No. 1,". "Mq, Ko. 2." aod so on. Ia the space between the two legends for the signs are repeated twice be has his own name, as, for Instance, "Wan Lee." When a customer takes a bundle of washing to the laundry the Chi nese, first tearing a ticket la two la a ragged fashion, puts one-half oa the packet for reference, the other half be gives as a receipt to the per son who baa brought the package of laundry. It tnu4t be presented when the laundry Is detnaadsd. and no fears need be entertained that the package of clean clothes wl3 not be forthcoming, fijr the Chinese are scrupulously exact la these matters, and seldom or never make mis takes.
