Rpcinff that the lienrs had got away, oou
cauiu buck. The dog showed his opinion
of Crowley by bristling np nnd growl
ing savagely nnd threateningly at him
for a few seconds. Then ho qnit and
went homo. Ever after that Tohy wonld
snap and growl ut Crowley whenever he
saw him.
"One, day I was looking over a log
ging job I hnd contracted for nnd discov
ered signs of bear along tho creek. Next
day Toby nud I went ont to see what
we conld do with the bear. We soon
struck tho trail, nnd Toby located tho
bear in a smnll patch of Innrnls, from
which ho soon routed lirnin. He brought
tho bear to hay in a little opon space in
a piece of chestnut timber. There was
110 necessity of the hear turning at bay,
bnt he evidently wantod to get a whnck
nt Tohy. I conld have easily sont a bnl
lct through tlio bear, bnt hnving tho ut
most confiih neo in Toby's smartness,
nnd seeing t lint tho bear was nuxious to
pnt his smartness r.gainst tho clog's, I
concluded to let him havo thoohanoo and
to enjoy tho sport of a few minutes'
maneuvering between tho twa
"It w?.t fnn. Toby worried tho nl
rcudy nj;ly old chap with tricks nnd
quick movements until tho bear was
Wild with rage. Do what ho inilit, ho
couldn't get a blow or n bite in on Toby,
while Tohy got a nip at the bear at al
most every turn. This nmnntng dance
Insted for ton minutes, and I folt so
proud of my clog that I declared thero
and then that it would tako a good deal
morn than n 100 hill to buy htm.
"Somo wise old natives of thoso woods
nssnred me, afterward that what this
bear finally did was a promoditatod net,
doliberntely nnd successfully carried out
ns planned. Others declared that it wns
an afterthought of tho bear's. I myself
hold nnd hold yet that it was entirely
nn accident, becnuso I will not admit
that there ever was n bearsmnrt enough
to firt tho better of Toby by dosign.
"After sparri ng nnd rushing fruitless
ly nt tho clog for ton minutes the boar
pnt his back ugninst n trite and brent lied
linrd for nt least a minute. Then it sud
denly dropped to all fours and hurried
toward another treo a rod or so away.
Tohy followed, and as tho boar started
to climb tho tree seized it by one of its
hams. Although tho dog must have set
his teeth deep in tho flush, tho bear did
not stop on his way, but climbed on as
if nothing was worrying him. Tho dog
hold on nnd was lifted from tho ground
as tlio bear climbed. Tho higher the bear
went the tighter Toby appenrod to hung
on to its rear, unil presently he was
swinging in the air 15 foot from the
gronnd.
"The sight was so funny that I just
tnmhh'd on the gvouiidcuid roared. Tho
beur stopped when ubunt 15 foot np the
trunk of the treo, clung there for a mo
ment, and then let looso. Ho came down
like a pile ilnver. When ho struck ut
the bottom of tho treo, Toby was be
tween him unci tho ground. There wns
a faint yelp, and that was nil. Three
hundred ponuds of boar had flattened
40 pounds of dog out of all kind of
shnpe. Tiie catastrophe was so sudden
and unexpooted that bofore I could re
cover from the puinlul surprise it guve
me the bear had disappeared in the luu
rols. Thore never was a smarter bear
dog than Toby, bnt he wasn't ont out
for an acrobat. Thore is whore he made
bis mistake. Thero novor was a smarter
dog than Toby, nor was there ever a
deader one when that bear got off of
him." New York Bun.

THE VANDERBILT DIVORCE.
An Example of the Mont IVrnlrlon Char-
neter Imaginable.
The method by which tho Vandorhilt
dlvorco was arranged is a senndal to our
jurisprudence. Worse than that, it is
an influence for the degradation of
pnhllo morals and the breaking down of
the popnlnr senso of right and wrong.
Practically Mr. nnd Mrs. Vanderhilt
divorced themselves. There was no
bearing beforo a court. Tho parties
did not appear beforo the tribunal.
There wns no pnblio proof of infidelity
on either sido to sorve as a punishment
to the guilty party or ns n deterrent In
fluence in the case of others. Thowholo
matter wns nrrnnged by dicker. Tho
only function of tho court was to giro
legal effect t') tho terms of too ha;-;; H.
Is it, then, tho privilege of llioiir'.i
to annul their marriages nt pleasmo ly
mutual agreement? The law, rigidly en
forced against nil ordinary eitixnis, ju-. .
scribes that collusion between hu ikr. 1
and wife shnll bo an elTeciiial ami p. i'
omptory bar to divorce Vet this rich
man nnd woman havo sont their law
yers into court with a collusive ngreo
ment already made; tho court has mp
prossed tho evidnnco agreed to bo pre
sented by sending the coso to a referee
instead of hearing it in opon session;
the referee bus nindo a report in accord
ance with tho terms of tho dicker; tho
court has afllrmcd it, ordering tho pa
pers sealed so that thoro mny be no
scandal which menns simply thnt tho
gnilty party shall be spared all social
shame and Inconvenionco nnd tho
terms of tho oollusivo agreement havo
been embodied in a decree which au
thorizes one party to marry again nt
pleasure and imposes upon tho other a
prohibition of mnrriago which is ns in
effectual as a bull against a comet.
In saying this we do not mean to re
flect upon Justice Uarrett lie is a judgo
whoso eminent learning nnd conspicu
ous service are properly appreciated by
the community. But in this matter ho
is the instrument of a vicious systom
which prevails, wo believe, only iu Kew
York and which certainly docs not ob
tain in most of tho other states.
Unless we accept the nnolean doctriuo
of free love, marriage and divorce aro
not in any sense private matters. Tho
family relation lies at the very founda
tion of tooiety. Divorce equally with
marriage is a matter of pnblio concern
and should bo decreed only after a pnb
lio hearing and pnblio proof of statutory
cause.
A case of this kind sets an example of
the most peruioions character imagina
ble. It means to the majority thnt thero
is one law for tlio rich and another for
the rest of us. It moans that if you
hnve money enough your mnrriago vows
mny count for nothing. It menus thnt
your misconduct will bo carefully guard
ed against cxposuro by nil tho authority
the courts possess. It means that while
collusive divorco proceedings aro per
emptorily thrown out of conrt in tho
caso of ordinary persons a multimil
lionaire and his wife may nrrnugo such
a procooding in full nssurnnce that it
will bo ratiliod by the courts, and that
all the scandalous details will bo secure
ly bidden beneath tho sacred seal of tho
tribunal. Now York World.

8EA ANEMONE AND BARNACLE.
An Oild Pair nf Clinm to Me Keen tnttie
Aquarium at Cattle Garden.
Tho son nuemone is vory sensitive.
It closes nt n hostile or thoughtless
touch, not rapidly, for it can't do any
thing very rapidly, but as rapidly ns it
can, curling its tentacles inward and
covering them over with its outer skin
and flattening it down upon tho rock.
Bnt it is not disturbed by its friends.
In ono of the smaller glass tiiiiki ut tho
city's nquarlum at Castle Garden thero
are severnl little sea anemones taken
from spiles nnd stones about the Bat
tery. Iu tho saiuo tank, almost wi'.hlu
roach of these anemones, are souio com
mon barnacles little ones, half rm inch
or so in diameter. Lacking in bennty
I as the barnacle may bo, it Is provid d
with a liMt-t wonderful handliku mem
bi r, wl.ii h it throws up from i's shell,
j with which it sweeps tho water for
I food, tho nilmito nulmalculio upon
Which it fci.ls.
Ono of thesn barnnelos is so close to
ono of tho littlo anemones Hint when he
flings his net it nlmost or quito touches
the tips of the anemone's tentacles,
which spread liko tho most delicate nnd
feathery branches of tho tiniest littlo
tree. But tho anemone doesn't close np.
Not a bit Hero down deep in tho tank
its brnnchos wnve in tho gently agitat
ed water, nt, dellento ns they are, they
might do in the gentlest zephyrs on tho
land, nnd they wave and wavo as tho
bnrnnelo throws its net. Perhaps tho
sea aueiuoiio hits its owu benefit in mind
through all this, for it Is qnlto probnblo
that tho ngltntion of tho water brings
to it food that it might not otherwise
recoivo; but, however thnt may be, the
fact remains that tho littlo auemono
that would cluso nt t!:o slightest touch
of an enemy is quito undisturbed by nny
thing that its friend nnd neighbor the
baruaelo might do. Now York Bun.
