Springtime and lummer nnd two seasons more;

And dreams that come in and so out of the door.

Turns twilight to weening and darkness to sighing.

Sail away like a ship that we watch on the waves.

When she climbed out of a hollow
tree high up In the mountain one day
late In February, old Brulnetta felt
the keen gnawings of a long empty
stomach. There had been a pro
longed thaw, and the enow lingered
only In dirty patches. After sniffing
the damp air eagerly the bear scram
bled down the western slope. She
had fasted for three months, and was
bent on satisfying her hunger.
A mountaineer's sheepfold suffered
that night, but Brulnetta was as
shrewd as she was ravenous. She
did not gorge herself and remain ex
posed to danger, but put a good ten
miles behind her before crawling un
der a stump pile at dawn.
Still farther westward, beyond all
sight of the mountains, there is a
hilly region, with a good deal of tim
ber on the steeper slopes. Byram
.Valley abounds in lambs and pigs and
poultry, with an occasional cluster of
"bee-skeps." Brulnetta found excel
lent provender there for a fortnight
before the amazed farmers arose to
elay her.
A bear had not been seen in that
region before in thirty years. At rare
intervals a lynx appears and has to
be hunted down, a panther caused a
flurry in the valley la 1897, and wild
cats are heard and seen at times, but
the present generation had lost all
knowledge of bears. For two weeks
the people simply wondered what it
could be that was killing their sheep
and prowling about their pigpens.
There was practically no snow ex
cept along the fences, and Brulnetta
was old and experienced in the art of
leaving very few telltale footprints
behind her. But one evening Seth
Woodard saw her climbing the slope
back of his farm and her troubles be
gan. Men and dogs gathered for the
hunt. The trail led up the valley to
where Byram Creek, after flowing
down Bowker Hill, hugs the foot of
the slope for nearly 100 rods before
entering the more open country. A
deep ravine strikes the creek at right
angles near the bend, and up thin
gash in the hillside the dogs ran till
halted by overhanging cliffs. The
puzzled hunters wasted the remain
der of the day In searching for an im
aginary cave, where tey thought the
bear had taken refuge, and then went
borne, grumbling at their ill luck.
Three days later the farce was re
peated. Everybody was sure that the
bear's den was somewhere near the
head of the ravine, but the most dill
gent search failed to find It.
This was on a Friday. Sunday
night Lem Porter rushed out at the
sound of the frantic squeals of one of
shoats, to see Brulnetta bearing oft
the unfortunate porker in her arms.
She released the pig when closely
pressed. It was badly scratched and
squeezed, but still alive. Monday
morning the biggest hunt of all was
organized.
James Robertson, an old naturalist
living near Byram Corners, who spent
bis summers in the mountains, and
was more familiar with birds and
beasts than with men, had a shrewd
Idea as to how the bear evaded her
pursuers. Early in the forenoon he
perched himself on a rock above the
ravine, as a spectator.
He heard the baying and barking
of the motley pack of dogs two miles
down the valley. The hunters wero
sweeping both hillsides.
From a cross road . a single shot
rang out. Deprived of her dinner of
pork, Brulnetta had been incautious,
and had lingered later than usual.
The bullet, fired at long range by a
farmer who had caught a glimpse of
her, had stung her left shoulder, and
she was in a tremendous hurry.
Across the fields she lumbered with
surprising speed and entered the ra
vine, but instead of ascending it she
followed the rivulet down to the
creek, along the shallows of which
she splashed up stream. This hid her
completely frorrf any one lower down
the valley, and also threw the dogs
off the scent, which may or may not
have been Intentional on ber part.
The shelter of the creek banks was
the main thing, undoubtedly, and the
ravine afforded the most convenient
route for reaching the bed of the
stream.
A quarter of a mile higher up are
the Byram Falls, really little more
than a series of cascades. The rocks
are steep and slippery, but Robertson
smiled to see the bear climb them
nimbi)'.
Before this time she probably had
paused and bidden herself somewhere
In the gorge, but now, frightened by
the flesh wound in her shoulder, she
kept on, and disappeared in the un
derbrush that fringes the summit of
Bowker Hill. .
Men and dogs arrived and were
speedily at fault as before. Then
some one saw the old naturalist, aud
called to htm, "Did you see the bear,
Robertson T"
"Yes. She knows more than you
and the dogs put together. She's a
veteran But I reckon Byram Valley
lias seen the last of ber."
The men angrily questioned the
old man, but he would tell them
nothing more, his sympathies being
with the bunted creature. His pre
diction, however, proved true; the
boar had no Intention of returning to
the valley. I
That night she passed over the wat
ershed of Ten-Mile Creek, and hid
herself In a thicket near that strcm.
It was a lonely place, with est a
house In sight, and as the day wore
on she became very hungry. She cau
tiously emerged from her place of
concealment, stared in all directions,
and shuffled off toward a distant col
umn of smoke.
Amos Pickens' hill farm sprawls
high up among the springs that feed
Ten-Mile Creek, the old frame house
being more than a mile from that of
the nearest neighbor. On Saturday
Amos had had his leg broken while
felling a tree, and now lay helpless In
bed, with the limb in splints. Tues
day noon Mrs. Pickens bad set off for
the nearest Btore after groceries. She
was certain to have a tedious drive
over bad roads, and could not possi
bly return home before nightfall.
Bessie, aged sixteen, with four-year-old
Nell, was left at home to
care for her father and the stock. At
5 o'clock, leaving him asleep, she
went to the barn to feed and water
the cattle and horses. She was on
the way to the pigsty with a basket
of corn, when Nell came running to
her, pointing and shouting:
"Bessie! See! See! Big dog!"
The girl glanced off across the big
pasture, and stared for a moment in
silent surprise. That lurching creat
ure fifty yards away was no dog, but
what was it? She had never seen a
bear, but ehe had seen pictures of
that animal, and she had heard ru
mors of the alarm over In Byram Val
ley. The truth dawned upon her,
and she trembled in greater fear than
length. But ehe might use It to scar
away the bear.
Seizing the gun with trembling
bands, she ran np the stairway to the
kitchen chamber and crawled through
a tiny "cubby-hole" back of the chim
ney. This communicated with the
wood house loft, from which a sta
tionary ladder led to a large room
below, just off which the bear was
standing.
Peering down from the loft, Bessie
saw Brulnetta rise again on her hind
legs and reach into the pork barrel.
It was only a third full of brine and
pork at that season, and the bear
pried so heavily on one side that it
was overturned and sent bumping
down the cellar stairs. The noise so
frightened the child in the oven that
she redoubled her shrieks, and the
bear, startled and annoyed at the fall
of the barrel, hastily backed into the
wood house and started for the source
of the outcry.
Bessie thrust the muzzle of the
musket down beside the ladder, and
shouted at the top of her voice.
Brulnetta looked up, paused, and
showed her teeth, but the next In
stant again turned toward the oven.
The weapon was pointed directly at
the back of her neck, and within four
feet of her body.
x Closing both eyes, and not realiz
ing that the stock merely rested
against her side, Bessie pulled the
trigger.
The gun had been loaded for weeks
and the resulting explosion was as
vigorous and noisy as could have been
desired at a Fourth of July celebra
tion. The shock hurled the girl flat to
the floor of the loft, and for an In
stant drove the breath from her body.
But she quickly recovered her wits,
and crawled to the head of the lad
der. Brulnetta's days of marauding were
over forever. The charge had sev
ered her spine as completely as If an
axe had been used, and she had sunk
down stone dead, practically without
a struggle.
But little Nell was almost In hys
terics, and Bessie thought of her fath
er with a rush of anxiety. Descending
the ladder, she timidly circled the
bear's body, and drew out her sister
by one arm. Nell did not stop sob
bing convulsively till she fell asleep
late that night.
Mr. Pickens was found helpless,
half out of bed, from which he had
attempted to climb upon bearing the
Josephine's Lace Handkerchief.
It was the Empress Josephine, says
the Springfield Republican, who In
troduced the lace handkerchief be

would have been had she lived In this

laughed she would put her handker

Dresses Not Her Own.
The curious legal point has Just
been ' made in one of the London
county courts that a wife's dresses
are not necessarily her own absolute
property, but that they may only be
given to her by her husband for her
lifetime. The question came up In an
action arising out of a seizure under
an execution of dresses supplied to a
Chelsea woman by a firm of dress
makers. The husband contended
that tho seizure was illegal, as he
gave his wife the money to buy the
dresses, and they were accordingly
his property. The Judge said that it
had been laid down by tho late Lord
St. Heller when he was Sir Francis
Jeune, president of the divorce court,
that If a man presented bis wife with
articles of Jewelry or clothing for use
only during his lifetime and only to
be used as what was legally termed
"paraphernalia," such articles did
not become the wife's absolute prop
erty. It Beems that the legal position is
this: the term paraphernalia Includes
all wearing apparel and ornaments
suitable to the wife's station in life
which are given to her only to be
worn as ornaments of tho person only,
but the term does not include family
Jewels or gifts from strangers. A
wife cannot dispose of paraphernalia
In the lifetime of her husband, nor
can she dispose of them by will. The
husband, even during his wife's life
time may sell or give her parapherna
lia to strangers, and paraphernalia
are also liable for the husband's
debts. It would be distinctly annoy
ing to a wife to have her dresses
seized at the instance of, say, the hus
band's cigar merchant, but that is
how the English law stands to-day.
The case recalls another decision giv

As to Revivals.
The churches are looking forward
to the time of revivals. There may
be a few exceptions, but not many.
Some pastors are getting ready, and
not a few are anxiously looking for
the coming of the favored time, and
asking what they can do to prepare
for It.
The best way, and indeed the only
successful way, to get ready for a
real and permanent revival is .to use
faithfully the regular means of grace.
The pastor who wants to see the work
of God promptly and surely advanced
among his people should give earnest
attention to his own message and
work. Ha should make sure that he
reaches the hearts of tho people with
the simple but all-powerful message
God has given him. With plainness,
but In love and tenderness, ho should
declare tho whole counsel of God,
warn men of sin and danger, and
point them to tho Lamb of God.
Faithful pastoral work should be
done.
The church should rally to the sup
port of the pastor, and use the stated
means of grace to edify believers and
impress the unsaved. These means
faithfully employed will soon lead to
such an Interest in religious matters
and such a quickening of the spiritual
life of the church that special meet
ings will be demanded, and the re
vival will be an accomplished fact.
For the pastor there Is no better ad
vice than Paul gave to Timothy:

"Nell, run to the house! Run!"
she cried. "It isn't a dog; it's a

The child disappeared In a flash,
and Bessie with one more glance at
the approaching black object, dashed
to the barn and fastened the front
doors. The young cattle were In the

Origin of Dominoes.
The origin of dominoes has been
attributed variously to the Greeks,
the Chinese and Jews, but a Paris
contemporary has discovered that the
ever popular game owes its invention
to the Benedictines of Mont Cassin.
Two ot the order were sent into
lengthy retreat, and they hit upon
a method of whlllng away the spare
time without infringing the rules of
silence by playing with square stones
upon which various dots were marked.
While perfecting themselves they per
fected or rather evolved the game,
and were accustomed to frequently
repeat when playing in the evening
psalms from Vespers, especially the
first, that is Psalm 109, which begins
''Dixit Domlnus Domino meo." When
the retreat was over the game was
soon known In the convent. Then Its
fame spread to the village and be-
America for nearly ninety years, and
thinks that she knows conditions here
better than a transient English tour
ist. Mrs. Ward attributed the al
leged decline in the movement to the
organized opposition of women. Mrs.
Howe says:
"The change in favor of the move
ment among women Is especially
marked. The organized opposition
among women Is very small com
pared with the organized movement
in its favor. Out of forty-Blx States
only four have anti-suffrage associa
tions, and two of these are almost too
small to bo properly called associa
tions. There are suffrage associa
tions in thirty-three States and sev
eral Territories. At the time of the
last constitutional convention in New
York the suffragists secured 300,000
signatures to their petition, while the
autls secured only 15,000."

Ing down the backs, are much heaviei '
this season than they have been In t
long time.
Hat models of 1830 are closely cop
ied in some of the latest creations,
and rare paintings of that period art
In demand for patterns. ,.
Agaiu the whlteand colored knitted
gloves are in high favor for walking
end sometimes they are drawn ovei
the fine gloves when It Is quito cold.
Though fashion cares not whethei
they match in .naterlal, there Is ar
absolute decree that the eklrt and
corsage of this season shall match Is
color.

The framing and hanging df pic
tures has become an urt. They are
an important decoration of a room.
In hanging pictures, a study of sur
roundings Is necessary, nnd enre
should be taken as to wall coverings.
Avoid largo-patterned papers. Tho
plain-colored or striped cartridge
papers In rather dark half-tones aro
the best backgrounds for pictures.
The walls of a room should never be
crowded, and as far as possible, all
pictures should be placed on a level
with the eye.
The framing of pictures Is po much
a matter cf Individual taste that It Is
Impossible to give rules that will ap
ply In all instances. Oil paintings,
highly colored prints and water col
ors are, as a rulo, framed in gilt.
When mats are used upon pictures
great care should be taken to insure
their harmony. Black and white pic
tures should never be mounted in
highly colored mats. There are ways
of mounting pictures besides framing
them. Passe-partout makes n good
frame. New York Evening Post.
The Glory In the Cloud.
Phillips Brooks once preached a
sermon from tho text, "Who passim;
through the valley of weeping make It
a well." He said there were two ways
of treating sorrow. One may sav,
"This that I have to bear is hard,
but the clouds will break and there
will come better days. Compensa
tion is in store for me. It may not
bo In this world, but some time It will
all be made up to me." Or he may
say, "I will do just what Scripture
tells me to do. I will make of my
valleys of weeping wcll-sprlng3 of
Joy. I will turn sadness intt occa
sions of rejoicing."
The apostle says, "In everything
give thanks." Assuredly we cannot
be thankful for everything, but in
every experience that conies to us

turned out of doors, he congratulated
himself that li Is enemies had left him
"the sun and mono, o loving wife,
