[ The tenderfoot sportsman who goes (to the Wheelertown settlement in these days finds himself treated with kinder consideration than he has any reason to expect—far kinder, in fact, than any real woodsman would accord him elsewhere around the southeast corner of the Adirondacks. This is not due to any natural defect in the Wheelertown woodsmen. They have Just as hearty a contempt for the ig noramus as all other good woodsmen have, but since Abner Chase came from Buffalo last spring they are will ing to give even a tenderfoot with a shiny outfit a chance to show what's in him before they turn him over to the professional guides. Mr. Abner Chase brought more joy to the community than any tourist that has fished Little black Creek dur ing the last three years, for he was confessedly the tenderest tenderfoot that ever combined experience with silver-plated outfits. He couldn't tell spinach from turnip tops nor corn from quack grass, bat he said he was "ambitious to learn the woodcraft," and when he expressed "entire confi dence in the ability" of Wheelertown backwoodsmen as "instructors" they "calculated" they'd "learn him some thing, sure." So far as the arts of fishing for trout and applying tar oil to keep off punkies and deer flies were concerned, Mr. Chase was carefully and sincerely in structed by Mr. Bob Allen, with whom he boarded; but when on the third day after arrival he said he wished Ihe "could have a hand-to-hand con flict with a hear after the Norwegian style," and then explained that in the Norwegian style of conflict the hunter used a knife only, the boys thought they'd give him a run for his money in away that would make him and them remember for years to come. fTliey admit now that it was a low down trick to plan for any tourist, but still they aren't sorry they did it. Because bears are scarcer than they used to be, and because they know iwell that men carry guns of marvel ous powers, the chance of arranging a personal meeting between Mr. Chase and a bear was too remote for consid eration. But Ben Gratrix, who lives half a mile north of the Wheelertown schoolhouse, had a big, shaggy, black mongrel dog—an ugly brute —that the boys thought would serve instead of Ursus, and they told Mr. Chase they guessed they could give him a chance to try. Accordingly, Bob Allen and Bud North took the tenderfoot into the ■woods, one afternoon, .and with a big rag well soaked in fish oil dragging behind hjm at the end of a rope they led him to and fro for four hours and finally stopped in front of the big hol low birch that stands beside the old reservoir trail, near the abandoned Pardy clearing. Then they all went home) for the night, but just before daylight the next morning they got Chase out of bed and sent him alone up the trail to take a stand in the hol low birch and wait for a bear to come along in search of the bait they had been dragging the day before. Mr. Chase had no doubt that a bear would come, for the boys assured him ithey had seen abundant signs, and that the bait was sure to draw. He accordingly prepared himself with care for the occasion. He wore a fine leather coat which, as the boys had been careful to learn, cost $lB, On his Ihead he put a scarlet cap, because, as lie explained, the Indians always wore red handkerchiefs around, their heads. Corduroy trousers and twelve-dollar hunting shoes completed his dress, and for a weapon tie carried a carving knife whetted to a razor edge. Meantime Ben Gratiz, Jr., a lad of 17, had gone up the trail leading the dog, and to his delight he was having much trouble in doing it. For the un fortunate beast had been kept without food since the morning before, and just before starting for the woods lie had been allowed to smell of but not to taste a comfortable piece of meat flanked by bread and potatoes covered with gravy. Young Ben had gone up the trail to a point half a mile or so beyond the old hollow birch to wait till sunrise, and then to release the 'dog. It was absolutely certain that the dog would go tearing down the trail, bound for Its breakfast, and the >vocdsmen hoped the tenderfoot would jump out and try to stop him. They knew the dog might get hurt in such an encounter, hut they calculated on his plunging between Chase's legs, giv ing liini a nip, and then flying on. They had to snort as they thought of the way the tendefoot would come limping in, with eyes bulging, to tell hew the hear thawed him and then fled. Having seen Mr. Chase disappear up the old trail the boys made haste to do the eh ores oil the Allen farm, and then, with Mrs. Allen and the chil dren following, they started for the woods, just at sunrise. They were ex pecting to meet the 'flog any moment after reaching the woods trail, hut it did not come. They were approach ing the last bend 111 the trail before reaching the old birch, and Mrs. Allen was saying she believed the dog had taken a short cut through the woods, pcor thing, when Chase came around the bend. He was plainly running for life, but the moment he saw the wo man with the children he stopped short and yelled. "Get them up a tree, Bob! 11l try to stop him, but I don't believe I can do it." With that he grabbed an old sled stake that lay beside the trail and started back around the bend, while Bob Allen and Bud North began to howl with laughter. The children joined ecstatically, but Mrs. Allen caught her breath, and then, turning to Bob, said: "Stop your fool laughing. Didn't you see his coat was all ripped and bloody?" No, Bob hadn't seen that; neither had Bud, and they were going on with their howls when Chase came walking back around the bend. "All right!" he shouted. "He fled into the woods when he saw the club, but that's more than the other would have done." This would have amused tho boys as much as his previous words but for the fact that they could see now that his coat was ripped and bloody, as Mrs. Allen had said. Moreover, his corduroy trousers were slashed and bloody, too, his scarlet cap was gone, and there was a row of deep cuts from the top of his head down through his right ear to his shoulder. "Lordy, will you look at that?" said Allen. "Why, man alive, what's hap pened? Ye're all chawed up." "Why, yes," said Chase, as they gathered around him, "I believe I am cut up a bit. You see. the affair did not fuuction quite as I liad premeditat ed; I didn't anticipate seeing a flock of bears, you know. "I took my stand in tho hollow tree, as you instructed me to do, and I as sure you I hadn't waited more than two minutes when two small bears came from the thick brush on the oppo site side of the trail, one right behind the other. They crossed over toward me and were almost, in reach when the one behind bit tho other in the heel, and the next instant they were, ah, up against each other and slugging away like prize fighters you know, if I may use the vernacular. "They were quite young, and it seemed almost a pity to do it, but I supposed I should not have another chance, so I attacked them. By a ra pid movement I grasped the nearest one by the neck, and at the same time plunged the knife into the other. Then I tried to knife the one I held, but its struggles were most extraordinary, I assure you, and I had to give it three distinct thrusts. "Meantime it had been screaming like a baby, and while I was striving to control it there was a crash in the brush and out came the mother bear with her lips drawn back and teeth prot rnding. "I don't recollect, ah! precisely all that happened, then, for she was very much more active, you know, than any one would imagine. But the worst of it all was that as I gave her the last thrust the knife became fastened in some way so that I oould not with draw it, and just then I saw another bear with a bushy tail coming down the trail, and it's mouth was open, too. "It was quite embarrassing, I assure you, but 1 remembered seeing a slend er tree down this way which I thought I might climb further than the bear could, and I was running for that when I met you. "I hope the lady will pardon my ap pearance," he continued, as he drew the bow of his necktie from behind his neck and wiped some of the blood from his face with a handkerchief. "It's unusual, I assure you, to find myself in such a predicament." Finding that Chase was exhausted, but not seriously hurt, the party hur ried up the trail t the old birch. There they found young Ben Gratrix standing, with his eyes bulging, beside a dead mother bear with two dead cubs close at band. And the carving knife in the last and fatal thrust had pierced between two joints of the old boar's backbone, where it was held fast, as Chase had said. "He didn't know a bushy tailed dog from a bear," said North, as he tried to withdraw the knife from the old bear, "but a tenderfoot who'll mix into a mill like that has got the mak ing of a good sportsman." That opinion has been adopted by all who have heard the story, and while they remember how this ten derfoot faced a mother bear in a fight for her cubs the Wlieelertown woods men will give the tourist due consid eration until he lins had a chance to show his metal. —John S. Spears, in the New York Times. ltwle Awakening Tnr a Flelinrman. George Chaffee of Dyndonvillo was fishing in the lake thiß week. He was anchored a short distance from shore when his sport was disturbed by an angry steer charging down toward him at a fearful rate, jumping into the water and swimming directly toward him. Chaffee did not have time to raise ids anchor or to get away from the enraged creature, BO he yelled ait the top of his voice and beat off the attacks with his fish poie, finally head the Fleer toward shore. The animal climbed up the bank and dropped down r.s if dead, it appears that the steer, which belonged to Dewey Denyon,, waa pasturing about a mile away, be came erased and charged through the barn, across the fields and over fences, not stopping until he was out in the lake some distance.

Ton* of Earth lfuloed at One Fcoop lifti'ee liucketK Wliic-h I-ill an ()pn Car with Great It tpitllty Engine* Which Dig, Curry and Elft. Of all the mechanical workmen which have of late years been devised to assist human energy in performing great undertakings probably the most wonderful are the monster steam shov els. A number of those giants with their arms of steel and tireless mus cles, have been in service for years past, but the increasing variety of uses to which the steam shovel has lately been adapted has directed an increas ing degree of attention to this import ant family of time-saving and labor saving machines. Simultaneously new demands have been made upon the manufacturers, and the new recruits in the army of inanimate shovellers are each fully one-third heavier and correspondingly more powerful than the old type. Already these machines have some surprising achievements to their credit in making excavations for railroads and canals. Thus far, however, one of the principal uses of the steam shovel has been that of handling raw material, such as coke, coal and limestone; un loading from railroad cars, transferring from stock piles to furnaces, etc. Practically all of the steam shovels in use throughout the country are of one general type. Inasmuch as the shovels are designed for almost con tinuous service at the hardest kind of work, aud, from the nature of things and the undeveloped portion of the country in which they are often em ployed, must not only bo subjected to all kinds of weaihor, but also receive but scant care, every effort is made to have them of staunch construction— in short, as nearly unbreakable as pos sible. In the construction of the up to-date steam shovels there are em ployed steel beams, steel and Iron forg ings and steel plates and castings. Comparatively little cast Iron is used In any part of tho machine, even the gearing being of cast steel and the shafting of hammered steel. The parts are joined with a filling of white oak. To manipulate the monster scoop that does as much shovelling as a force of 100 men naturally requires consider able power, and this is furnished by half a dozen engines. There are a pair of swinging engines, a pair of revers ing engines and a pair of thrusting en gines, so that every motion of the pon derous shovel is accurately controlled. The water tank connected with the shovel and the storage bin for fuel are of sufficient capacity to enable the largest size shovel to bo in operation continuously for fully eight hours. There is a wide range in the size of the scoops or buckets, of steam shovels, according to the work for which they are intended. In some instances a shovel is fitted with a bucket which will not held more than one or two tons, but as a rule the capacity is such that from four to 9ight. tons of rnater ' ial are lifted ait every scoop of the tre mendous mctol arm. Steam shovels, in order that they may be moved quickly and economical ly from placo to place, are mounted up on extra heavy trucks that are of standard gauge, and. in the main, very similar to thosewhich support thelarg e9t freight cars. It is thus equipped to travel as the railroad cars in the load ing and unloading of which it may be engaged, or if it is desired to transfer the shovel from one place to another it may be hauled as an ordinary freight car. One of the remarkable attributes of the modern steam shovel is tho ability of the great, ungainly machine to lift masses of material above its head, so to speak. Almost any of the steam shovels now in use will dump ma terial 16 or 17 feet above the level of the rails on which the shovel stands, and some of them, which have exceptionally long arms, will lift the huge dippers 20 feet or more above the track. As might be expected, it is necessary when constructing a machine which is to perform such work as this tc provide every possible safeguard against the constant wrenching and twisting which are inevitable, particu larly when the dipper is operated rap idly. To minimize the strains it is the custom to place cushions of wood be tween the steel parts of the machine. Probably the most interesting steam shovels in the world are to be found on the "Mesaba Range," one of the five districts which go to make the I.ake Superior mining region. Here they ren der possible in its present scale of mag nitude the so-called "open-pit mining, the shovelling of iron oro directly from its natural resting place in the earth to the railroad cars which are to carry it to market. An "open-pit" mine is nothing more or less than an Immense hole in the ground, perhaps half a mile square. Into this railroad sidings are run, as they might be into a vast quarry, and in some of these mines, where fully a million tons of ore is taken out each year, there is in opera tion simultaneously anywhere from half a dozen to a dozen of the large shovels. Th type of shovel moat eitwislyely used In mining operations la 48 feat in length and nearly 10 foot in width. The boiler is nearly 5 foot in diameter, and the boom or arm of the ahovel ranges In length anywhere from 25 to 30 feet. Such a shovel weighs more than many a locomotive, and coals from $7,000 to SIO,OOO. It is in the iron regions, previously mentioned, that the most remarkable records of rapid loading by means of steam shovels have attained . As a rule five trips of the dipper are required to fill an ardimry freight car, but so rapidly is the long arm raised and lowered that it is accounted slow work if more than five minutes be consumed in loading a car, and not frequently cars are fully loaded and pushed out of the way of the shovel at the rate of one every two minutes. Prom eight to a dozen men are required to operate a shovel of fair capacity, and by steady work they can place fully 7000 tons of ore aboard the cars in a single working day. In order to make such a record as this, however, it is necessary that the men have an opportunity to work on the side of a pit or mine, where it will not often be necessary to resort to blasting to loos en the ore, so that it may slide down to the shovel, and it is further essential that a locomotive be constantly at hand to shift the cars as rapidly as they are filled, thus preventing delay. New types of steam shovels are to a considerable extent displacing the fam iliar locomotive crane in many manu facturing establishments. Some of the machines put to such use are operated by electric motors instead of by steam. Numerous improvements have of late been made in steam shovels in general. One of these gives greater latitude of movement to the dipper. The old-fash ioned steam shovel dipper was limited to a verticle thrust, but in the newer machines the big scoop is not only enabled to revolve in a complete circle, but the dipper is fitted with a sliding trolley, to which is suspended by an adjustable arm, and about which it ro tates. Indeed, the present mechanism even renders it possible to remove the dipper entirely and make use of the machine as a locomotive crane. In the new-style machine all the movements are controlled by levers so arranged as to be operated by one man stationed on a platform at the front of the ma chine. Within the past year or two many steam shovels have been ex ported to Europe, where they are com ing into extensive use for railroad and canal excavation, as well as for trans ferring material in manufacturing es tablishments. —Philadelphia Record. GUAINT AND CURIOUS. A curious coin used by the Gauls about 2000 yoars ago was shaped like a horseshoe or the capital letter U, and was about a quarter of an inch thick and two inches across. Pennsylvania was originally settled by Swedes in 1G27. They were forcibly subjugated in 1655 by the neighboring Dutch of New Amsterdam (New York), who themselves passed under English rule in 1664. Philadelphia and Penn sylvania proper were founded by Penn in 1682. A St. Petersburg medical student, M. Kolomaizeff, has just completed a cu rious scientific experiment; he has hatched out a turkey's egg by carry ing it about for 18 days under his arm. In consequence of his success quite a crowd of people in St. Petersburg are now endeavoring to hatch out geese, hens and ducks in the same manner. It is a healthier occupation than hatch ing plots. The dwarfs as well as the giants are caught in the net of French compul sory military service, and the last con scription has brought out a recruit of \ery diminutive size. His name is Francois Finas; he comes from Mont meillan; his height is three feet three inches; he weighs only four stone three pounds; he cannot carry a flag or keep step with his comrades, but trots after them as they march through the town. At one time, if a Japanese girl mar ried a foreigner, she was instantly de capitated. A Portuguese was proba bly the first European to marry a daughter of the land of the chrysan themum with impunity. He went there 30 years ago, and fell in love with a Japanese girl. Her parents warned her of the fatal consequences of mar rying him, but she persisted, with the result that the Mikado decided that she must be beheaded. However, after a correspondence of over five years' duration between the Portuguese and Japanese governments, she was per mitted to live. The horses of the Pilgrims were all alike in form and size. After cutting down trees and sawing logs of suitable length, the men dragged them by hand along the ground —for there were no horses or other beasts of burden —and laid tliom one upon another, thus form ing the" walls. Probably the chimneys and fireplaces were of stone, crevices being plastered up with mortar, made by mixing straw and mud, and oil paper taking the place of glass for windows. At the best, these log-houses were poor makeshifts for dwellings in the severe winter along the bleak New England coast. For furnishing these simplb homes, the Pilgrims had brought, over such articles as large arm-chairs, wooden settles, high-posted beds, truckle-beds for young children and cradles for babies. The cooking was done in a big fireplace. Hero the housewife baked bread in large ovens, roasted meat on iron spits, which they had to keep turning in order to cook all aides of the roast alike, and boiled various kinds of food in large kettles knag ovor the fire. Manlinn. Next, to being manly is to appreciate manliness. Next to being womanly is to appreciate womanliness. There is, indeed, a measure of the high quality in a man or woman that makes one re cognize It when exhibited in another. It is the lack of the high quality that makes one undervalue it as it stands out in its commendableness. In view of this truth, we must remember that we disclose ourselves by our estimate of others.—Sunday School Times. LABORS OF ROYALTY. Manner in lTlilcli Hint; and Oneen Dlt* charge Their Dutle*. Before Mayfair is astir the king is at his desk, dictating through tele phono messages to his secretaries at work in another rom, writing such let ters as demand an autograph reply and attaching his signature to those docu ments which are ever present with the monarch. It used to be the boast of V'illiam IV. that he never retired for the night until he had signed every thing which awaited his signature each day, and he would persevere in his task even when forced to allay the cramp in his fingers by bathing them in hot water. King Edward is not less conscien tious than King William, and signs documents with extraordinary dis patch. Indeed, his majesty does everything quickly and promptly, and will see through a thing before other people have begun to discuss it. After state documents and correspondence have been dealt with the king receives ministers, ambassadors and official personages in audience, or there may be a levee to hold or a function to at tend, or, in these days, some corona tion matter to consider. The afternoon and evening frequent ly bring public duties and always so cial ones, while in between whiles the king manages to dovetail a little pure ly family life. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the, fact that the royal family preserve a real home life amid all the calls of state and public duties. It Is less easy to tabulate tho vari ous demands on the queen's time and thought than to describe the details of tho king's working day. In palace, as In villa, It is the many littles which occupy a woman's time and make her day arduous. Apart from those hours which the queen must give to matters of dress she undoubtedly may claim to be a hard-working woman in virtue of the unfailing graciousness with which she accompanies the king to all public cer emonials, the ready ear which she has for the demands of philanthropy and the kindly patronage she extends to art, music and the drama. The queen must often perform her social duties in London when a rest at Sandringham amid the simple coun try life which she loves so well would be more agreeable. But duty first must ever be the royal watchword. It Is not easy to be always bowing and smiling and saying the gracious thing, even though the body may feel weary and the head ache, and I think it must be in justice admitted that the queen and all the princesses show a fortitude in this matter which few women would care to emulate. —London Mail. Trolley LIDKI Rights. A recent decision of the New York court of appeals has placed the trolley on a par with steam railroads as re gards the carrying of freight. It was contended by a trolley company that it had a legal right do effect a junction of its tracks with those of a neighbor ing railroad, which right was denied. The court decided in favor of the trol ley company, affirming their right to make connection with any railroad and to interchange freight with same, in accordance with the rules govern ing railroads. The court stated that Inasmuch as It is neither profitable nor practical for steam roads to connect with every village and hamlet or pro ductive district in the country, and since the rapidly Increasing network of trolley lines does afford an outlet for trade products, it is due the farmer, mill owner and merchandise vendor in distant places, that they should bo able to avail themselves of the trolley sys tem running before their doors. In commenting editorially on this Impor tant decision, the Street Railway Re view declares It is one of the most far reaching that has been rendered in this country. It is apparent, says the same authority, that the court does not con sider the interest of the two classes of roads to be antagonistic to any serious degree, but regards the electric lines as filling a need which the steam rail roads have as yet been able to supply with advantage to their own stock holders.

THE MAN WITH A SI,OOO BILL. Ho Securod Smaller Money by an Ingen ion* Scheme. Of a man with a SIO9O bill in his pocket and no smaller amount of mon ey, a story has been written that traced him through many experiences and took him to the verge of starva tion. But, as a matter of fact, one man who had- nothing smaller than a SIOOO bill got through his very easily in this city a few nights ago. Ten of these coveted promissory notes of the United States had been paid to him in the afternoon. In the pursuit of business and a modicum of pleasure he had, after the receipt of his SIO,OOO, spent the last dime he possessed other than the big bills. He was with some friends, any one of whom could and would have accommo dated him with sufficient money for his needs, but a discussion arose about what he would do if he were a stranger in the city and had no money other than that which was in his poeket. "I wouldn't care if I were dressed as a beggar," he said. "I can get all I want so long as I have a SIOOO bill in my pocket." "You would be a.-ested or turned down if you tried to use it," said one. "There are not many places where SIOOO in change is kept handy. Be sides, most people would be shy of tak ing such a bill from any of us. We don't look as though we carried SIOOO bills around in our pockets." "Well," said the man with the $lO,- 000, "I'll bet a basket of champagne with the bunch that I can spend my money as freely as though these were $5 bills instead of what they are, and I won't have any trouble about it, either. I'll get change the first time I try, too, or lose the bet. And I won't go to any man who knows me." The wager was accepted, and the man with SIO,OOO, taking one friend with him, walked out to a pawn shop. He said to the clerk only this: "I have received SIO,OOO in 10 bills. They are mine and were come by hon- J estly. It is difficult for me, ast-ang er, to get a SIOOO bill changed!. Here 7 are the 10 bills. Look at them. 1 ' need some money, and I want to pawn one of these bills for $25. If you are Afraid of me, call up police headquar ters and I will satisfy the people there by papers that I can show that I am honest. Or, if you like, call up Mr. , who paid the money to me, and he will tell you if I am all right." The pawnbroker looked at him keen ly for a second and then said: "I never took money as a pledge, but you are sober and seem all right, and you can have the $25. Give me the SIOOO bill." The pawnbroker examined (he bill carefully and then, to the astonishment of the others, took another SIOOO bill out of his safe and compared them. Then, just as he would make out a ticket for a ring or a watch, he IssucV a ticket for a "SIOOO bill," turned over | the $25 and closed the transaction.— New York Tribune. Athletic Training for Soldier*. The advantage of athletic exercise as a means of fitting a soldier for the better discharge of his duties was signally demonstrated on the occasion of recent trials of certain heavy ord nance. When the officers in charge reached the point where they wanted the speediest possible handling of the big pieces they called for the men who had achieved a reputation as base ball and (football playefs, and the rapidity with which they used their muscles contributed not a little to the success of the test. This, it is true., was merely a special case, but it war rants its application for the purpose of a general deduction, which is that just in proportion to the athletic train ing of a soldiier will be his value in" "M any field of active duty to which he * may bo assigned. In this particular, as In others relat ing to the training of soldiers, the German army, the best military es tablishment in the world, may be pointed to as setting a good example. From the moment when the recruit makes his appearance and to the very end of his service he is drilled in ev ery kind of gymnastics. In some degree, it is true, the Ger man soldier is prepared while at school, for here, too, gymnastic exer cises are compulsory. It is evident, then; that in our own army, even though it may not be thought advis able to compel the soldiers to under go gymnastic training regularly, ath letics ought to be encouraged in every way consistent with discipline.
