SAVED BY A PET BEAR.
A catatonia-t Wee llllllng Berger When
Ills Wife's favorite Appeared. .
The surveyors stood spellbound. They
could not grasp the situations. The bear
to all appearances was as savage as any
in the mountains, and was covered with
blood. One of the party‘ finally broke
the ice by shouting at the top of his voice
and attracted the attention of both the
man and the beer. The man signalled to.
the surveyors to come to him. The party
crossed the stream and found that the
man was Jacob Berger. and that he was
severely wounded about the head and
body. One arm was broken and his back
was badly sprained. He could not rise.
The bear in the meantime watched the
strangers closely. but offered no objec-
tion, to their advances after being can-
tioned by Berger. After the surveyor had
taken Berger to his home. to which they
had hen followed by the hear. he told
hie story:
Berger first explained that Davy, the
bear, wae perfectly domesticated and was
his wife’s particular pet. She had a pe
culiar fondness for mountain animals.
and in a etockade near the cabin she has
asort of domestic meuamrie. Davy has
long been her favorite. and also that of
her daughters. This in accounted for by
the fact that the bear has acted as senti-
nel at the house and stood guard in the
absence of the woodsmau. He had never
Men very familiar with Berger himself.
and how he happened to accompany him
that morning could not be explained.
Berger left home that morning to inspect
some timber land. He had gone some
distance into the woods when he noticed
that the bear bras following him. The
bear kept a respectable dintance in the
rear and evinced no llflfllrt' to cultivate
terms of intimacy. In this way the pair
pushed through the woods until the bank
of the creek was reac hed. Berger stopped
here fora moment. partly to find a safe
place to ford the stream. and partly to
view the timber. lIIe waaso engrossed
that he did not hear or notice a large catr
amount creeping along the limb or a tree
above his head. He was about to move
away when suddenly the catamount leap-
ed upon him- The animal struck Berger
squarely between the shoulders. and
knocked him violently to the ground.
The teeth and the claws of the catamount
tore his flesh; his arm was broken by the
fall. and he was unable th offer any re-
sistance. Just when he had made up
his mind that he was done for. he heard
slow grunt, the brush was swept aside,
and old Davy came upon the scene. The
bear leaped savagely upon llu- cniamount
and a terrible battle betwwn ti. ' twu
beasts followed.
The cat was a large one. and fought
viciouaiy. and tore brnin bmlly in his
eflorta to release himself. It was without
avail, hchver. Davy had suffered sev-
eral severe scratches. and he was greatly
aroused. ile tore the cat into pieces. and
chewed the carcass into fragment». lie
was still engaged tearing at the remains
of the catamount when the surveyors
came along.
’I'he laferlerlty of Woman.
Mr. Hall Cains, whose recent state
ments regarding the inferiority of woman
attracted some attention. has called down
upon his unlucky head a spirited re-
joinder from John Strange Winter (Mrs.
Btannard). la the commencement of her
literary career. Mrs. Stanuard says in the
Young Woman, her father died. leaving
the family without a penny. She lived
far from London and had no friends to
help her in the literary world. ”Yet, be-
fore lwns thirty, my name was known
allover the English speaking world. i
have married. brought children into the
world, ruled my house. sold a million and
a half of books. kept up an anemone
circle of friends. helped several charities
and man y strugglers both in kindnessand
in influence, have kept my house better
than most women. and have a husband
and children who worship me and are
never really happy unless in my actual
presence.
"(in the other hand." Mrs. Stannsrd
proceeds. “you have Mr. Hall Cains. who
is a small. fra _ lie man, who cannot work
in Inndoo. w o. by his own showing, is
thoroughly exhausted by the effort ef
writing a single book. a bundle of nerves
and fancies. lie began his literary career
with an enormous advantage over me.
He has a wife to mind his house. and to
bolster him up when his nerves get too
much for him. I fail to seewhere his lla-
menu superiority over me amuse in.”—

Rubinstein to undertake snot r tour in
this country was largely dominated by
Hr. Abbey and Mr. Steinway. ‘ The pub-
lic had been without a great pianist since
the time of the Paderewski furor, and the
enormous sums of money taken in by the
long haired Pole excited the managers of
public amusements to such an extent
that the world was practically scoured
for somebody who could succeed Padm
waki, or. at least divide the field with
him. Mr. A. M. Palmer succeeded in
finding a musician whose hair was almost
as long as Pederewski’s and he was
brought out with a great flourish of
trumpets. but Slavine‘kl lacked in some
way the charms of the gifted. red-haired
Pole. Josef Hellman. the boy pianist.

he was a little chap in knickerhockera,

mawkieh young man, without personal
charm and with no great ability as a
player. Finally every manager who wai
after a pianist, and this included a very
large number of people, settled down for
a long chase after Rubinstein. It is said
that the bait which materially assisted
Messrs. Abbey and Steinway in their ef-
forte to get him to come over to this
country was the promise that the big
Metropolitan Ogre House company
would produce ubiustein’s opsrain a
gorgeous and unprecedented style. The
great pianist had no antipathy to Ameriv
cans. but he dreaded the ocean. and that
was his main objection at all times to a
journey to this country.
At a recent dinner tendered Dr. A.

about a feature of America which we had
evidently lost sight of: “l have heard
even Americana say that life is too pro
saic over here; that romance is wanting.
I do not know what they mean. Romance
is the very air they breathe. You are
h ged in with romance on every side. I

four generations the Indian and the
frontieranian still fought forihe mastery.
With a ride anda canoe you can glide
into one of the buck eddies. which have

feel keenly the romance of Europe. I love
the memories of the shattered castles and
the crumbling abbey; of the steel clad

mance of the redskin and the trapper is
more vivid, aabeing more recent. It ieeo
piquant also to stay in a comfortable iuu

The general style of abuse to which
Superintendent Byrnes has been subject
ed of late makes curious reading whorl it
is compared with the elaborate and ex-
travagant eocolniums which have been
lavlehed upon this public officer during
the past decade. The saying "that a
prophet is not without honor nave in his
own country” can find no truer illustra-
tion than is furnished by the names of
Edison and Byrnes. Everywhere abroad
the two names are widely known where
the names of our stateem and million-
alree sound strange. Ellison, who is I
