Bill. There wasn't no pertlolar
Lou why I ahould-a, though, 'cause
ought to knowed more n ne aia,
anyhow, when I waa goin' 'long
jh him over to the Eddy to help him
out the new suit, I says to Bill:
'Bill.' I aaya, u i o oniy unowea

Ire you aome p'inta that'd a the t you

ker, anyhow,' I aaya.
Jabe did know better aaya Hill.
d told me not to do it, but consarn
I'd read It in the books, and I thought
books ought to knowed better than
k' says DHL
The bookal' 1 says. 'You foiiered
books, hey ? Then it's a blame won
tou'to got skin and bones enough
L to bang any clothes on at all,' I
b. The books knows a lot about it,
't they? Why, what does the books
about snakes and stick to it year in

Ikes dont throw their mouths wide)
in and let tbelr young uns scamper
K'n their throat to git away from

seen 'em do it more n a hundred
s. Dut the books says snakes don't
it 'cause it's sg'in natur'. And the
ks says that a hosuhair won't turn
o a live critter if you put it into
her awhile and leave it there,' I says,
d yit you've put hosshnlrs in water
p seen 'em git to be reg'Iar wrigglin'
-Ices, white ones and black ones and
ones, jest as the color o' the hoss-
r was, more times than you've got
Ipers and toes,' I says. 'The books?1,
lays. The only thing I ever see in
books that I knowed wus right waa
iat they tell you about cookin' a rab-
I snys. 'The books says that when
u cook your rabbit you must first
Ich your rabbit. Now that's straight
the p'int and true as preachin',' I
ft. 'I don t see how the books bap-
bed to say it,' I says. )
Then, ag'in, I oughtn't to felt sorry
Bill, neither, 'cause he hadn't no
lalness to be out. huntin' rabbits at
Bt time ' year. The law wasn't up
'em yit, and Bill knowed it Not
kt I'm so blame, considerate of the
me laws as game laws, fer game
s, 'mongst other things, is apt to
kd a feller into lyin', nn there ain't
thin' worse fer a community than to
re lyic' git a holt on to it. I says to
1:
'Dnsh it all!' 1 says. 'I! it hadn't
ne nothln' else to you, goin' agin the
ime laws might a tempted you to
ke a liar of yourself!' .
ihen I told Bill what happened to
po Collins, only Jest over vender In
rrk state. Jim. he had a strawberry
Itch, and folks heerd that he had
Lied u deer alone in tlio snrinir o'
year. The game constuble over
lre be heerd on it, too, and he drops
pwn on Jim one day, unexpected. .
J mi, he says. ' I hear you've been
lin' a deer out o' season I'
Jim he thunk over it a minute, and
n lie says:

strawberry patch. No, sirt .Deer dona
it, Jeat M soon aa the time was up
whan the gam law aajd deer couldn't
be killed no more, deer begun to come
down from them wpods yonder and
tMatur on my strawberries. Shoo 'em'
off? ' says Jim. ! 'Not ; much. They
knowed we didn't dara kill .'em, . and
every time we tried to shoo 'em oft
they Jest bristled up and rnn us off the
patch and went on with their chawin'
and pawln' and clawin'. , Why ain't
they here now? An accident happened
to one on 'em t'other day,' says Jim.
Tbat'a why they ain't here now. I
guess they ain't quite so sure o them
selves aa they was, and they're loyin'
low,' says JimJ ' 'Yes,' says he. 'One
o' them deer shot himself. Broke the
game law, by gravy, und shot himself
out o season,' says Jim.
"Trap gun,' says the ' game ' con
atable. 'That's what you call an ao
cldeut, hey? , Guess you'll have to go
'long with me, James,' says'he.
"Not yit awhile!' soys Jim. There
wa'n't no trap gun. It was an accident,
I tell you, and the deer shot himself.
Shot himself dead. 1 was over in the
three-acre patch tryin' to red things
up and save a little o' next year's crop,'
suys Jim, 'when a deer come trottin'
down out'n the woods, drove me off,
and begun to chaw and paw and claw.
It was enough to make me so mad that
nothin' could a-atopped me pltchln'
in and poundln' that deer all to pieces,'
saya Jim, 'but I kep' my temper. I had
a gun in tbe house. ' I knowed that if
the deer had been a crow my fetchln'
out a gun without any load in it
wouldn't have skeert it a bit, 'cause a
crow kin tell a loaded gun from an un
loaded one a mile oft. But as the deer
wa'n't a crow, 1 went to the bouse and
got my old gun that I hadn't loaded in
Ave yeurs, thinkln' that if I strutted out
in the patch with it on my shoulder it'd
make the deer think I didn't care for
the game law any more, and ho'd skip.
I had strutted as close as 20 foot to the
deer, 'fore be seen we,' says Jim, 'be
was so busy chawin' and pawln' an4
clawin' them strawberries. Then b
looked up. lie didn't turn skeert a bit.
lie turned madder than a wild bull aad
come for me n-tearln.' I whipped
round,' snys Jim, 'and broke for the
house, but the deer ketched me. Ho
ketched me about three inches below
where tbe hind gsllus buttons fits into
tbe galluses, aud down I went,' says
Jim, 'and plowed as much as SO foot
through that three-acre patch. Tbe ol'
musket was shook loose from me by tbe
jar the deer give me.
" 'I guess maybe the butt end o' the
musket tmut a struck ag'in a fenee post
that stood ahead of it some ten or a
dozen foot and sort o' rattled up the
lock. Anyhow,' Hays Jim, 'I heerd a
roar that mado the hull o' that three
acre strawberry patch raise up and
shako Itself, and when 1 got up and
tried to view the lan'scape o'er there
seemed to be a smell o' powder hovcr
in' rouud, and the smoke was so thick
1 couldn't see anything for as much as
a minute. Then things sort o' cleared.
Over by the fence post the gun was
lnj in' as peaceful as a lamb, and down
in the patch where tlio biggest clawin'
in the patch was, laid tbe doer, jest as
peaceful as the gun was. There couldn't
be no two ways about it, squire,' says
Jim. 'Somebody must a loaded that
gun unbekuownst to me, and tbo rash
and mifortuuate critter of a deer hud
shot itself dead with it Broke tho
game law, by gravyl and shot himself
out o' season 1 Whut's the reason,' says
Jim, 'that your business hain't got
notbin' to do with struwberry patches,
squire?' says Jim.
" 'James,' says the game constable,
'where's that ik-er?'
" 'Well, squire,' says Jim, 'us soon as
I see what hud happened 1 run into the
house and told the folks. Then 1 run
down yonder to tell a neighbor. When
1 got back home the deer wasn't layin'
in that three-acre strawberry patch no
more. I asked my neighbor, who knows
all about deer, whether he thought
other deerscould a come down outen the
woods and carried that deud deer back
wltb 'cm, and he said, knowin' what
he knowed about deer, 'specially deer
that hung around this district, that it
wouldn't surprise him a bit if tbey had.
So the deer aint here. But I kin show
you the musket the deer shot himself
with, squire, in that three-acre straw
berry patch,' says Jim.,
"But the game constable he didn't
care to see the gun, aud after warnin'
Jim about boiu' so careless with lire
arms after that, ho went home.
" 'And now, Bill,' I says, 'you see how
them game laws led Jim Collins into
lyin',' I says.
"That's so, says Bill. Thunder,
says he, 'but that was an all whoppin'
whopper about tliut deer, wasn't it?'
says he.
" 'About tbo deer?' 1 says. 'Why,' I
says, 'Jim was all rignt about the deer.
Jim didn't lie none about tbe deer,' I
says. 'What he told about the deer
was straight as a string.'
"'What,' says Bill. 'Where did the
game law make Jim a liar, then?'
saya he. J ; . 1 ;, 1
" .'Why, .about the three-acre straw
berry patch,' I snys. 'Jim Collins never
had as much even' as a quarter-acre
strawberry ' patch in his life,' I says.
'And' if it hadn't been for the game law
Jim wouldn't 'a' been, tempted to say
he had,' I says.' ' , , .
"Bill he didn't say nothln', and we
went on, to the Eddy and' got tho new
clothes,; and wlen Bill planked down
the seven, dq!lo,rs and a quarter for 'em,
and I see that the upshot of it would be
that I'd hove ia'bp lendin.' Bill my dog
an4 my,fibin' tackle for, the next, six
months or rtore, I feltconsarned sorry,
'cause hfe had tb' spend that' money for
clothes, and I couldn't help sayin' ag'in :

There's too many rabbits U the
swamp, anyhow, but that waVt no ex
euaa for Bill, goin' oat after some at
that time ' year. But he went, aed the
worst of it waa h. had the best rabbit
dog la the whole Knob and ' Pooono
country with him. Where is he now?
Nobody knows. He started In the di
rection o' the aettln' sun, and th. last
anybody sejs.of him ha waa headed that
way yit. Bill had gethered in a lot o
rabbits and sot down on a log to eat a
bite and have a smoke. . While he was
ea tin .and amokin' along come Jabe,
Jabe had been choppin' out aome tam
arack and was goin' home.
" 'Set down,' says Bill, 'and have a
smoke.' w 1
"Jabe sot down, and they was enjoy
."V theirselves considerable, when all
of auddent the rabbit dog rl up and
begun to growl and brussel. BUI and
Jabe the' looked . up, and there they
see a bear settin' on a knoll not more
than 30 paces away, takiu in the scene,
lookin' pleasant and sbowln' no sign
but what he waa glad to see Bill and
Jabe enjoy In' theirselves, and actin' as
if he might jine in with 'em it they
asked him. The dog was the only thing
that seemed to pester the bear and
threaten to raise his dander. Jabe, he
knows bears considerable, and he says
to Bill:
" 'Bill,' he says, 'that bear seems to be
sociable and setch, but as you ain't
loaded for bear you better call your
dog and go along with me,' he says.
"But Bill he felt huffy that tbe bear
should come a-nosln' round where he
wusn't wanted and intrudln' on their
picnic, and he was for emptyin' his gun
into Bruin.
" 'lie's nigh enough for me to wing
him, even if my shot are small,' says
Bill. 'He'll run, anyhow, as soon as
he hears the gun. Hours is awful
cowards. I wus reailin' a book about
'em only yesterday,' says Bill.
" 'Bill,' says Jabe, 'you come along
with me, no matter what the book says.'
"But Bill he knowed, and he says:
" 'Jest you hob on, Jabe I ' he says.
'I'll give him a fine load of shot in his
nose and then jest watch him run I'
"The bear he jest kep' on settln'there.
lookin' pleasant at Bill and Jabe, but
glvln' the snappin' and anarlin' dog a
glare now and then. Bill he hauled up
and aimed at the bear. Jabe he walked
pretty fast to a tree that stood jest back
of him and got ready to shin up it.
"'Now watch him run!' says BUI, and
he banged away at tho bear's nose.
"The benr did run, sure enough. But
somehow he didn't run the way BUI had
calc'luted on. lie run atrplgbt fur
Bill and the pleasant look wasn't on
his face no more. lie snorted and
howled. Bill dropped hia gun and
tore up the highest tree. Jabe be waa
half way up his tree. BUI got to the
branches o' hls'n jest as the bear got to
tbe bottom of it, and as he grubbed a
branch it broke and down he come ker
lhiBinilx. He struck square straddle o'
the bear's back. That s'prised the bear
so that it sort o' discumfuddled him
and he give two or three cruzy whlrbi
around and then away he went like a
race horse straight for the thickest part
o' the swamp, Bill a hangin' on to him
like grim death 'cause he was afesrd
to git off. The dog was so skeert at the
first rush o' the bear that he dropped
his tail betwixt his legs, so Jabe says,
and struck a bee line to'nrds the west,
with his eyes hnngin' most on his nnne,
and ho hain't never been seen nor heerd
on Bt'iice.
"Soon as Jabe see the benr prancin'
awny into the swamp with Bill he dim
down outen his tree. Fur somethin'
like ten minutes he heerd the laurels
a snnppln' an' crackln' off In the
swnmp.
'"If Bill is huggin' onto that bear all
this time,' says Jabe, 'he can't bo much
less than tore to shoe Rtrlngs the wny
them gnarly laurels must grab into
him and snutch him.'
"By and by Jabe heerd some one give
a yoop from some'res out In the swnmp,
and he had an idee it was Bill, and he
whooped back.
" 'Hello, Bill.' he yooped. 'Is the bear
a runnln' yit?'
"But BUI didn't say, and by and by
he come creeptn' and crawl In' outen the
laurels to the openln' where hlmand the
bear hnd started from. All the clothes
he had on him wouldn't hardly make a
patchwork block for a bcdqullt, and he
was stripped like a zebra from head to
foot where the sharp brush had dug
into him and the bear skun along with
him through the swamp.
" 'Bid the bear throw you, Bill?' says
Jabe.
" 'No, says Bill. 'He scraped mo off.
ne slid into a holler log mid scraped
me off, consarn him.'
" 'But you made him run all right,'
says Jabe. 'You said you would and
you did.' '
"Bill didn't say. nothln', but when
they got as nigh home ns tbe edge o' the
cleurln' Jabe he went In and borrowed
Sam's other suit so as Bill could get the
rest o' tho way home, and that's the suit
Bill was wcarin' when Sam got cotched
on the jury and hnd to have It buck
ag'in.
'"And jest for that,' snys Bill, 'I've
got to go without a new rabbit dng and
a lot of flshln', things. I always was
down on this here consnrnrd jury sys
tem, anyhow,', says he." N. Y. Sun.

A Wa rfcrot. j f
Now that ' American . warship art
stripping off their an perflaoua wood and
ara blackening : their aaowy tides.' 4
glanoa at the posafbflities is timely, re
membering always the absolute uncer
tainty of War. At first sight, aays the
Toronto Globe, the comparison of forces
is all in favor oi the United States, who
have a heavy armed fleet, a dosea crui
ser and a few torpedo Teasels. Spain
haa a lighter but possibly more active
armored fleet, an inferior fores of crui
sers and a formidable flotilla of tor
pedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers.
This last is an important factor, as
since the Maine affair the Americans
have evinced a deep and perhaps exag
gerated respect for that decidedly un
certain weapon, the torpedo. Spain can
lose Cuba, and the United States has
a rich ooean-borne trade, largely coast
ing, that can be injured. The Ameri
can coast cities are being rapidly forti
fied, and a few more weaka should ren
der them able to beat off light raids.
Naturally the United States would try
to hit Spain in Cuba. Spain would try
to raid the American commerce. Spain's
position in her mismanaged islund is
very vulnerable, us slie'has to import
much of the food for her garrison from
abroad, and these supplies could be ma
terially intercepts. In addition, the
United States, even without being rush
enough to try a big invasion before tbe
Spanish fleet was cleared out of tbe
way, could give mhch aid aud comfort
to the insurgents by landing small par
ties. Spain, on her part, may be ex
pected to send every cruiser and pri
vateer ahe can fit out to infest the coast
of the United States, and as long as the
Cuban coaling ports remain Spanish
these craft should prove able to do much
damage. It certainly looks as if the
interest of the Spaniards would be to
stave off decisive actions with the heavy
American battleships and to carry on
a delaying warfare as long as possible.
The menace of the torpedo fleet should
prove of material assistance to them
should such a course be resolved upon.
Should Cuba once be freed from the red
and yellow flag, the war would become
mere long-range sparring, luck of coal
preventing the combatants from get
ting at each other.
American inventors do not all know
that, under the law which went into ef
fect on January 1. United States patents
are no longer terminated by tbe expi
ration of prior foreign patents. Hither
to such wus the case, aud in order not
to decrease the period of their control
over tho home market our inventors
often neglected to protect their rights
abroad, and so lost a considerable part
of the possibly rewards of their in
genuity. Under the present arrange
ment they can reap a harvest from for
eign fields without diuiger to that closer
to them.
