BEAR AND SERPiiNT.
A Strange Ituttlo M'ltnr-iKpd In n Indian
.lunltt.
Some cUuii'licnt wore setlina: their
ni ts fur (.'iiuie in mi liulian jungle
when tlioir utteutioii was attraeted by
hiilemis imises roars of pain ami rnffe,
uiul a proloniroil liissiiir, like tlie es
cape of k1 en tn from un I'lif-inn. They
hasli'in'il to the t-pot-or to alii it, as
BCciiis most liltuly an. I liulielil what
the Mailras Mail deserilies as a "Ho
luei'ie eonlliet." A junj,'kt licar was
fij,'hliny for hislife with u eolossal ser
peiit. I'rolialil.v the serpent luul lieen
hiinniii)r itself in tiui finite traelt when
the liear eaino aloiiL,'. anil us neither
animal would yield the patli to the,
other, n contest liecamu inevitable.
Wlmt the clenehers saw is thus de
Bvrihed: The serpent wottiul its eiiorniims
folds around the liear: the bear dashed
from side to side and rolled on the
ground in its fren::ied attempts to tret
free, roarinff angrily all the while and
snapping its jaws like castanets at the
serpent's folds, it could not reach
them, however, on iKviuint of the way
in which they were lightened uroutid
the bear's ipiivcritii,' body.
Thus enjrafred, the combatants
Kivayed to the brow of n hill, down
which the bear cast himself with a ve
locity that plainly disconcerted the
serpent, for it unwound two or three
of its folds and threw its tail around a
tree, hoping so to anchor the bear. Tl,u
maneuver rc.-.ulted in its own imdoin(r,
in more ways than one.
The ritfid, outstretched line of tail
(fiive the bear a chance to seize its us
sailant. a chance w hich up to this time
hud not been uil'ordeil. The bear wus
(piicU to seize ils opportunity, and
fastened its jaws in the snake's quiver
ing llesh. The hissing was now fright
ful, as the sntilic rapidly unwound it
self and struck savagely lit the bear's
jaws.
I'.y way of response the bear roared
furiously, dashing from side to side,
anil worrying the mouthful of serpent
in its jaws in puroxysins of rage and
pain. Once more the serpent wound
itself about the bear, the bear howled
and gasped, and both, still struggling,
rolled out of view into the high grass
of the forest.
Their track was marked with pools
of b'.ood; and when they were again
seen they had parted. The snake was
coiled in an attitude of defense, with
its bead erect; and hissed apprehen
sively. It had luul enough, and wished
only to be left alone.
Not so the bear. Though almost
crushed to death, it would not retire
from the combat. After a moment's
pause it rushed upon the serpent, s.d.cd
it by the head and dragged it about
with roars of triumph.
The undergrowth was beaten Hat by
the convulsive, strokes o.. the great ser
pent's tail as tlio bear crushed its bead
to pieces, and liuully it lay dead
beneath the assaults of its vindictive,
I'licniy.

INDIANS AS ARCHERS.
They IScrIii rrttt'tlclntc While Vet In Their
Infancy.
An Indian boy begins to handle a
light, bow when lie toddles; that means
at the age of four or five years. His
bow is taller than himself. Ha has a
habit of practicing at anything around
his wigwam, lly the time he attains
the age of twelve ho is permitted to
use sharp urrows. Such a boy must bo
strong at eighteen to use a man's bow.
A while man. when ho takes &n Indian
how for the lirst time, lias all he enn
do to liend it. It lakes a strong man to
do it, but there is also a large amount
of knack required. An Indian
bow is made straight; tho cord,
even when .in tension, almost
touches the bow. It is thick, and is
some four and a half to tive feet in
length the hunting bow is now spoken
of and the samo has an extra stiffen
ing by liuving sinews pasted on it. We-shess-has-ka,

KIGHT TO SHOOT BURGLARS.
Sunn, l,::i' t'nurt IIocikIouh About the !(
ri-Miin of l'mpprty.
The right, of a householder to shoot !
nt a Ih'tting burglar has been discussed
recently in several newspapers urn) :
legal periodicals.
A correspondent of the London
Times says he saw burglars escaping .
from bis house after stealing some 1
plate, and he fired two shots after
them. Later in the night ho met one j
of the burglars nnd secured some of !
the stolen silver. He would then havo j
shot at the burglar running away with ;
the remaining booty if ho had not left
his revolver nt home i
The correspondent afterward doubt- j
ed whether he had thu legal right to j
use his weapon when the burglar was !
running away, nnd he consulted two j
or three judges who were his friends, i
lie was advised that be might shoot a I
burglar lleeing in the dark to prevent !
his escape from arrest. 1
In nn English court recently a house
holder was tried for assault on the
complaint of n'sclf-contVs-"d burglar,
whom be discovered in bis kitchen and i
whom he shot in the body. The bur
glar in bis testimony appeared to ,
think that the householder took an '
unfair advantage In tiring from a dark
room into the kitchen, when! the thief
wns pursuing his occupation by candle-
light. The judge, however, directed 1
an acquittal.
The Pennsylvania supreme court has ,
reversed the conviction of nianslaugli-'
ter in the case of a Wnynil.urg citi-j
zen who shot and killed a thief as he !
was leaving his stable. The burglar;
had stolen a part of a set of harness ;
rrom tne staijie on a previous night,
and hail promised to delivr the rest of
it to an intending purchaser, nnd so
returned to the stable to complete the
theft.

THE PAWNING HABIT.

come.
"I'awnbroking is a habit," s.:i i.I one
who sits under thu shadow of the three
balls to a Huffalo press representa
tive. "Yes, mostly a habit. The patent
medicine habit is nothing to it. After
anybody has hungup something with
me a few times he's pretty sure to be
come a regular customer. Ho does
business with ma just like clockwork
after that; always goes broke just so
long before pay day.
"Two of the best pcoplo 1 havo aro
husband and wife, and neither knows
that the other ever heard of such n
thing as hocking a watch. I know
that from tho way they acted, and I
was pretty much surprised Olio day
when tho woman brought in thu pawn
ticket for her husband's watch. Sho
didn't look as if anything unusual had
happened, and I sized up tho situation
and gave her her own watch instead.
That was what sho wanted. Next day
the husband camo in with the ticket
for his wife's watch. I gavo him his
own and ho never know the difference.
You see they hud hi. Men their tickets
In the sumo place. They have brought
the watches around promptly ever
since, which they wouldn't have dono
tij' any manner of means if I hadn't had
my wits about me. Now, one of thoso
church pawnbrokers down in New
York wouldn't havo known enough to
do that, and would have lost two good
customers as well as nuido trouble lu
un estimable family. It takes bruins
to run my business."

bowels to discharge nil the secreted bile
which is poisoning the blond. When the
