THE MORTQAQE.
Wo worked through spring nod winter, through
summer and through fall,
Dut th mortgage worked the hardest and, the
steadiest of them nil ;
tt worked on nights and Sundays, It worked each
holiday,
It settled down among Us and It never wentaway.
Whatever we kept trim It seemed almost as bad
as theft;
It walcjicd us every minute and It ruled us right
and left.
Tho rust and blight were with us sometimes and
sometimes not:
The dark browed, scowling mortgage was forever
Tbo weevil and the cutworm, they went as well
I as came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating hearty all
the same.
lit nailed up every window, stood guard at every
Iuwr,
And happiness and sunshine made their placo
hu us no more. (
Till, with falling crops and sickness, we got
stalled upon tbe mule.
And there cornea dark day among us when tho
Interest wasn't paid;
And thero came a sharp foreclosure and I kind o'
lost my hold.
And grow woary and discouraged, and the farm
was cneapiy sola.
And the children left and scattered when thev
hardly yet were crown:
My wlfesho pined and perished, and I found toy
BOIk niuue.
What she died of was a "mystery," and the doe
tors never knew;
But I knew sho died of mortgage Just as well's I
wan tea to.
If to trace a hidden sorrow were within the doc
tors1 art,
They'd V found a mortgago lying on that poor
woman's nearc
Worm or beetle, drought or tempest, on a tat
mer's land mar f all.
But for first class ruination trust a mortgage
'gainst them all.

muuijiMivo luiitM, wiuo ui iuu rougaest
and wildest country in California. Every
old settler knows this bear and has a
name for him, and ho goes by as many
aliases as a burglar in activa practice,
but ho is best known as the Monarch of
Pino Mountain.
Jeff Howard, a cattleman who lived in
a valley back of thoTopa-toparango, had
tho luck to meet the Monarch several
times. Jeff was a good shot, and a man
of nervo, but ho never could knock out
tlio old grizzly. When tho Monarch
didn't win tho fight was a draw. Jeff
had an old buckskin horse that would
follow a bear track as readily as a burro
will follow a trail, and could be ridden
up to Within a few yards of tho gamo.
Jeff and tho old buckskin met the Mon
arch on a troll near tho hot springs, and
started a bear fight right away. The
Monarch, somewhat surprised at the
rmvpl I(1aa nf a mnn fHnmitlno. Ma
of way, stood upright and looked at Jeff.
who raised, hta Winchester, and began
working the lovor with great industry.
Jell noverwas known to lie about a bear
fight, and when he told how he pumped
sixteen forty-four caliber bulleta smack
into tho Monarch's shaggy breast, and
never "fazed" hlro, nobody doubted Jell's
story,
Ho said the Monarch stood up and
took tho bombardment as nonchalantly
as lie would a fusillade from a pea
shooter, appearing to bo only amazed at
tho cheek of tho man and tho buckskin
horse. When Jeffs riflewas empty he
turned and spurred his horse baok down
tho (rail, followed by tho bear, who kept
up tho choso about a mile and then dis
appeared in the brush. Jeffs theory
was that tlio heavy mass of hair on tho
bear's breast effectually protected him
from the bullets, which do not have
great; penetrating power when fired from
a forty-four Winchester with a charge
of only forty grains or powder.
About a week after that adventure the
Monarch called at Howard's ranch to get
sorao beef, It was about midnight when
ho climbed Into tho corral. The only
beef in tho corral that night was on
bonof a touguand ugiy bun. and

beef in tho corral that night was on the
as
soon as tho Monarch dropped to the
ground from tho fence ho got into
trouble. The bull was spoiling for a
light and ho charged upon the bear
without waiting for the call of time,
taking him amidships and bowling hlni
over In tho mud beforo tho Monarch
know what was coming, Jelf was
aroused by the disturbance, and went
ont to see what was up. lie isaw two
hugo bulks charging around in the cor
ral, banging up against tho sides, and
making the dirt (ly in alt directions, and
ho heard tho bellowing of tho old bull
and the hoarse growls of tho bear. They
wcro having a deuco of a time all by
thcmselvos, and Jeff decided, (a lot (hem
light it out (n, their own. way w(tliout
any interference. Returning to the
cabin, he said, to his son Jess, and an In
dian who worked for himi
"It's that old grizzly havlntr a racket
with the bull, but I reckon tho bull Is old
enough to tako cans of himself. We'll
bar the door, and let 'em go it."
Bo they barred the door and listened to
tho sounds of the battle. In. less than a
quarter of an hour tbe Monarch got a
beautifu licking and concluded that he
didn't want any beef for supper. The
bull was tough, any way, and ho would
rather make a light meal off the grub in
the cabin. Jell heard a great scratching
and scrambling as the Monarch began
climbing out of the corral. Then thero
was a roar and a rush, a heavy thud as
the bull's forehead struck the Monarch's
rear elevation, a growl of pain and sur
prise, and tho fall of half a ton or more
of bear meat on tho ground outside of
(he corral,
"I reckon the old bull has made that
cuss loso his appetite," chuckled Jeff,
lie won t come fooling around this
ranch any more. I'll bet he's tho sorest
bear that ever wore hair,"
Thothrco men in tho cabin wcro laugh
Ing and enjoying the triumph of the bull
when "whangl" camo eouiethliiK against
the door, aud they dll jumped for their
guns. It was tho discomfited but not
discouraged Monarch breaking into tho
cabin in search of his supper. With two
or three blows of his ponderous paw tho
grizzly smashed the door to splinters,
hut as hetioked his head in ho met a vol
ley from two rifles and a shotgun. lie
looked nt Jeff reproachfully for tho In
hospltablo reception, turned about and
went away more In sorrow than in
anger.
Jelf Howard's next meeting with the
Monarch was on the Seepe. Ho and his
son Jcgs were hunting deer along tho
LLa of tUe canyon, wht .tuejr uaw a hie
Live and Let Live.'
Penna. September- 21,
boar In tho brush about a liundrea vards I
up the hllL Both flrod nt tho same mo
ment, nnd ono ball at least lilt tho liear.
Uttering n roar of pain, tho crlzzlv snan-
pod viciously at liis shoulder whero the
bullet struck, and na ho turned his head
ho saw tho two hunters, who then recoir-
nlzed tho Monai-ch by his huge hulk and
grizzled front. Tho Monarch camo with
a rush liko-an avalanche down thomoun-
tain side, breaking through tho manza-
riita brush and smashing down young
wvot ua vuauy as a innn irnmpies aown
grass. His lowered head offered no fair
mark for a bullot, and ho camo on with
such speed that only a chance shot could
liavo Jilt him anywhero. Jeff and his
son Jess did not try any experiments of
that kind, but dropped their rifles and
shinned up a treo as fast as they could.
They wero noiio too rapid, as Jcif left n
pleco or ono bootleg in tho Monarch's
possession. Tho Monarch is not a bear
to fool away much tlmo on a man up n
treo, and ns soon ns ho discovered that
tho hunters wore out of reach ho went
away, nnd disappeared in tho brush.
'lhe two men camo down, nicked tin
their guns, and decided to havo anotlior
shot at tho Monarch if they could find
hlni. They knew better than to go into
the brush nfter a bear, but thoy hunted
cautiously about thoedgosforsomo time.
Thoy wero sure that tho Monarch was
still in there, but they could not ascer
tain at what point. Jeff went around to
windward of tlie brush patch and set fire
to it, and then rejoined Jess on the lee
ward sido to watch for tho reappearance
of tho Monarch. Tho wind was blowing
fresh up the canyon, and tho fire ran
rapidly through the dry brush, making
a thick Bmoko and a great noise. When
tho Monarch came out he camo rapidly
and from nn unexpected quarter, and
the two hunters had just tlmo enough to
break for their tree again and get out of
reach.
This time tho Monarch did not leave
them. Ho sat down at th'o foot of tho
treo and watched with malicious pa
tience Tho wind Increased and tho fire
spread on all sides, and in a few-moments
it became uncomfortably warm up tho
tree. Tho bear kept on tho. sido of tho
tree opposito the advancing lire, and
waited for tho two. men to come down.
Jeff and Jess got a little protection from
the hoat by hugging tho looward side of
the trunk, but it became evident that the
tree would soon be in a blazo, and unless
they jumped nnd ran within tho next
minute or two they would bo surrounded
by flro. Thoy hoped that tho grizzly
would weaken first, but ho showed no
ignsof an intention to leave. Whon
tho flames began crawling up tho wind
ward side of the tree and tho heat bo
came unbearable Jeff said:
"Jess, which would you rather take
chances on, grizzly or fire?"
"Dad, I think I'll chance the bear,"
replied Jes3, covering his faco with his
arm.
"All right. When I say go, jump and
run as though you were scooting through
holl with a keg of powder under your
arm."
Jeff nnd Jess crawled out on tho limbs
and swung by their hands for a moment,
and at the word thoy dropped to tho
ground within ten feet of the bear, and
lit out like seared wolves. They broke
right through tho burning brush, getting
their hair singed as thoy went. The
bear started after them, but was afraid,
to go through the fire, and while ho was
finding a way out of the cirolo of burn
ing brush and timber Jeff nnd Jess struck
out down the mountain side, making
about fifteen feet at a jump, and never
I stopped running until they got to the
creek and out of tho bear's Bight. Truo
Flag.
Valuable Hints.
Tlio following epeelal hints for inter
course with tho bookkeeper were round
In a Broadway business house:
Tlio bookkeeper llkos a hearty slap on
tho shoulder unawares, especially when
engaged with pen and ruler over the
ledger. His functions being altogether
moro ornamental than useful, ho will
feel btTonded If you conflno yourself to
business. His favorite topio naturally
remains the weather, but ho also keenly
relishes politics, your awn inventions,
tlio cunnlugness of your dogs and chil
dren, and tho general business of man
kind.
You will always bo surest of his atten
tion when ho is making out a long state
ment for somebody who is drumming
with his hands and feet to retard his last
train. Whon you catch him footing up
a heavy column just give him a clianco
for rest by confidentially whispering a
njco string of assorted anecdotes into his
ear, tho older and longor the better, and
he will nevor forget youl To lire his
imagination let him smell your breath
and other oxhalattons by leaning w?ll
over him.
Don't neglect to deposit your cigar
stumps, ashes and dismissed quids on
and hrouud his Inkstand; it will surround
him with an atmosphere of sociability
wnicb. makes him very proud.
Tito bookkeeper being a gentleman,
you should never be ashamed to ask him
for loans of money, of his umbrella, rub-
bra, and his pencil. Cloak and Suit
Doview.
Tto Miseries of Poverty.
