Begin the Attack.
"I crawled along to the trunk of the
tree and began to wonder how I was to
o r the rifle up. Old Clubfoot was there
with his big paws clawin’ down bark
on y two feet from my toes and tryln’ to
g-t up. His breath felt like the steam out
of a locomotive and his eyjes would al
ii st have dene for a headlight, he was
-o mad. I had seen mad bear before,
when they had a foot caught in a trap,
hu I never saw such ragin’ fury as this
ol! scamp had.when he found I was just
beyond his reach and the trunk of that

climb.

another and somethin’ crawlin' up my
si eve and on my neck and up my ankles
an) more bites by the second, with the
rm 11 of ants gettin’ mighty powerful.
To n you bet I did perspire in no time.
Til you ever try an ant bite? How many
b;t s from one of the big red or black
ai s do you suppos’ it would take to kill
a man? And how long do you suppose it
would take? A horse stung by enough
Ins is dead before any plsen can possi-
Kv reach his vitals. A man dropped In
loin’ water would be dead before any
hoot coq)d ever reach his innards. It’s
the shock to the nerves what does the
business, and before the fifth bite was
weil in my narves was gettin’ horrible
shook up. Then I saw the tree was full
of em and lines of hundreds of big red
an s runnin' up the trunk. No uses to
mush ’em. for a hundred’ll come to the
funeral of every one you mash. It wasn’t
h h a minute before some still small
voice inside whispered that I would have
t) g t out of that tree, for it was cer
tain tnc ants would kill me and with more
sufferin’ probably than I was likely to
B-t at the hands of t ie bear.
Thought He'd Have a Ride.
"You'd a been mighty smart and slip
rod down the tree on the opposite side
from ihe bear, wouldn’t you? That
shows what you know about bear. You
can have fifty feet start and he'll climb
your back stairs in just one and three
quarters seconds. I wasn’t that variety
of squash. It was over 200 yards to the
hext tree and that was a low one, where
he might claw me down even if I was
lucky enough to reach it. A grizzly stand
in' on his hind legs is mighty high and
hi- durned claws add another foot onto
his long arms, and when he stretches
them out you’ve no idea how they reach.
All l.c's got to do is to get one hook into
Tour meat and you’re his’n. There was
only one thing to do and that was to
noire the stuffin’ out of him. They’re

than i' does on you when you make a

"There was no time, to lay out any
hue plans, fot the ants lilt worse and
worse and came thicker and thicker. So
I run out on a big limb and, the bear fol
lowed me out 'there and looked up and
showed his big white teeth and seemed
to say, ’Aaln't you got some more lead
to feed me? I’m tired of waitin’ so long.’
I cove him my hat for a change, and as
b i'll (o the ground he dropped his head
and began to chaw on It. Before he had
a chance to show any disappointment,
because a bear’s favorite teethin’s ring—
ft mans skull—wasn’t inside of It, I jurt
dropped square a-straddle of his back.

out like one of these rifle balls you hear

we went under the first tree I didn’t have

"In about half a second somethin' green

never saw nothin’ green in that when it
come to a question of hear. I’m green on
theosophy and a few other line pints of
religion, hut not on bear, thank you. It
must a been another tree, hut I wa’nt very
particular about stopping to find out, so on
I journeyed. Just as we cleared that,
something gray went a-swimmin’ around
on all sides with a thousand quails a whiz
zin’, squealin’ and dartin' around my head,
and the durndest rattle you ever heard. It
sounded as If the lightnin’ had struck the
pantry of the giants and busted all the
crockery and turned the flies loose. It
might a been a rock pile we went through,
but I wasn’t particular enough to get off
to look. Just then.l saw a douple of brown
spots ahead, with somethin' behind that
looked like the tail of a coyote, and then
two streaks of brown went past us from
in front, but they fell behind so fast I
couldn't tell, but I rather guess they was
coyotes.
’’Just then there was another flash of
green and then a regular cloud of it ewim

scratchin' of my eyes an’ scrapin off of

all at once I come to a dead stop so fast
that it turned me upside down. As soon
as I could get the blood out of my eyes
enough to see, I found myself in one of
these great big mountain mazanitas with
my heels a lookin’ at the sky an’ not a

for a second, expectin’ a thunderbolt or
somethin’, but the coast was all clear an'
the sun a smilin’ as only our dear Califor
nia sun can smile, with the birds all a
singin’ praises to their Maker and not an
ant or a derned thing in sight to bother
anybody. Just then I heard someone hol

It made mo jump up, but it sounded so
natural like it set me to thinkin’, and

WIRE-TAPPING IS PAST.
Turf Schemers Now Have an Easier
Method.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Wiretapping some years ago was respon
sible for heavy losses to poolrooms
throughout the country. To-day it is al
most unknown. In the old days the favor
ite method was to cut into a wire and
when the result of the race came
stop it, and send into the poolrooms as the
winning horse the name of some horse
previously agreed upon. Men in on the
scheme would have bet heavily on this
horse, and when the bogus dispatch would
be received announcing its victory would
hastily cash in and decamp before the de
tection of the fraud. That was one way
of operating. Another was to hold back
the result of a race long enough to allow
confederates to get their money down on
the actual winner, they being posted by
signals, and after this was accomplished
send in the report. But the work was tco
risky, and now the wire tappers have an
easier game.
For years, until recently, the work of
wiretappers has been a consiant menace to
the poolrooms of the country. Scores cf
raids have been made, for hundreds of
thousands of dollars, end none of the lead
ing cities of the country has escaped. It
is estimated that during the past five yea s
the clubs of New York alone have suffered
to the extent of $200,030. In a great ma
jority of these cases nothing has ever been
said in print, os the interested parties pre
ferred to lose the money rather chan give
the affair publicity. It is not to be in
ferred that the dangers to club people and
the poolrooms of the country have been
provided against, for such is not the case.
The men engaged in the game ore un
scrupulous, daring and skillful, but the
telegraph and telephone people have had
so many bitter and unexpected experiences
that they have thrown every possible safe
guard around their patrons, not having
failed to profit by lessons of the past.
But however alert The companies may be,
the wire-tappers are ever on the scent of
devices for fraud, and some of the schemes
which they originate are Indicative of the
highest type of genius In that direction.
There are several well organized gangs of
the gentry in the country to-day. but for
the most part they have abandoned the
old method of taking temporary posses
sion of a wire by tapping It, sending in
the name of a bogus winner, and having
confederates in the rooms to play the
same heavily.
The latest steal was worked lost fall
during the Aqueduct meeting upon a
contractor named Williams, who lives
at 'Newbury, New York state. Williams
had quite an extensive railroad contract In
Jamaica, for New York parties, ond was
engaged there for several months. On
his return to New York he closed out ihe
transaction, secured his money and count
ed his profits at something like $50,000.
Then he took a few weeks off for the
purpose of rest, recreation, and Investi
gation of metropolitan methods. He
bought wine freely at uptown resorts, and
naturally fell victim to the blandishments
of the gentler sex.
Almost his first experience In this di
rection brought him In contact with three
lovely beings, who in turn soon welcomed
two gentlemen friends to the party, and
for awhile the whirl was a merry one.
By degrees Williams became acquainted
with his male companions, and he found
them both bright and entertaining. The
merriment continued at Intervals for sev
eral days, and Anally the two men un
folded a scheme to Williams whereby
they could clear up thousands of dollars
with positively no risk. It was nothing
more nor less than a huge wire-tapping
swindle, whereby a certain loom was to be
trimmed up for a small fortune. Th
room they asserted wns In Albany, os the
proprietors there would stand to lose a

lot of money on any event. They were to
tap a wire near the room, get the horse
first past the post, and, by means of
signals, make a hurried onslaught upon
the unsuspecting proprietors.
The scheme looked very atiractive to
Williams, and the more he thought about
It the more he liked it, until finally ho
consented to furnish the money, but with
the distinct understanding that he was
not o part with any of his coin until he
saw the wire actually tapped and was in
possession of the information. This was
very agreeable to the gentlemen, and to
evidence their candor in the matter (hey
not only show him the apparatus by
which they were going to steal the elec
tric secret, but also explained to him the
full mode of procedure.
Two or three days later the party left
for Albany, arriving there the night he
before the killing. The next forenoon
Williams was ushered into a room, rent
ed for the occasion and fitted up as a
modest pool room, and two of the al
leged proprietors were pointed out to him.
Then he was shown the preparations at
the spot where the wire was to be tap
ped, and in due lime saw the actual op
eration performed on a wire which was
begus, of course, so far as the alleged
poo! room was concerned.
Finally the man stealing the thunder
handed out the name of the horse first
past the post and Williams gave
other one $4,000. The last named party
rushed away to the room and in a very
short time returned with the informa
tion that the money was on at 2% to 1.
He and Williams were standing on the
street and there wns nothing to do but
await the confirmation and then cash.
But just at this juncture the unexpect
ed happened, for. turning a nearby cor
ner, clad in a blouse, with his pants in
his bool tops and a pair of lineman’s
elfmhers, came a man with a hurries!
step.
"A Western Union repair min!" gasped
the man who had wagered the money, and
at this we started away with leaps and
bounds up the. street and down a sile
street, Williams in close pursuit. They
raced until exhausted, and were puffing
and blowing when the man who'tapp'd
the wire joined them, the confederate line
man having performed his part; perfectly.
It so happened that the horse which the
wiretapper gave out on a guess actually
finished second, being beaten only b,v an
eyebrow. The fact was learned by the
trio a little later, and then the two sharp
ers set about to convince Williams that
while the horse was no doubt first under
the wire, as the operator at the track saw
it, the judges in their official verdict had
reversed the positions. This sounded plau
sible to Williams, and, reluctantly pocket
ing his loss, the party returned to New
York.
It was explained to Williams that such
a mistake would not occur once in a mil
lion races, and. with a hope of getting
even, h econcluded to try it once more.
This time he was taken to Covington, Ky.
Here he gave up $3,000 more. The nun
who went to stager the money never re
turned, the wiretapper suddenly varis.ned
and later Williams learned that the alleg
ed room was a fraud pure and simple. He
has not seen the men since, but swears
that he will shoot either one or both of
them on sight.
NATURE’S SPRING MEDICINES.
Many of Them Prove Very Pleasant
to Take.
From the Chicago News.
That It Is necessary to take a little med
icine in the spring is one of the beliefs to
which we are attached, without question
ing ourselves much as to the reason, why.
The precise kind of medicine taken de
pends largely upon family tradition; some
place their reliance on one remedy, some
on another. Nature, whose remedies are
not given perfunctorily, brings out her ma
teria medlca in due course, and adminis
ters her dose, disguising them in a pleas
ant fashion.
One of the first and best of her remedies,
presumably given to cure rashes and all
ills thot arise from impurity of the b'.ood,
is watercress. When we find the bronze!
variety we know that her dose of sulphur
and Iron, not to mention the phosphates,
Is an exceptionally good one. What pleas
anter way can we have of taking these
than as a crisp relish to brend and butter,
as a sandwich, a salad or as a sauce to
roast mutton? And if any one knows no:
watercress soup, they have something
good yet to discover.
Mustard and cress, spring onions and
radishes and young lettuce are all in na
ture's hand waiting for us to make use of
them, and most people will be quick
enough to seize on these; but when the
first green nettles*and dandelions appear
and when sorrel peeps up and she would
have us take them also few heed her ad
vice. Nettle or dandelion beer Is to be
had In some places, perhaps, but not even
there will you meet with a dish of young
nettle tops—soldisant spinach—or a dan
delion salad. Yet in these we shpuld get
taraxacum, for the cure of dyspepsia and
for the correction of appetite and taste,
as well as the remedy for that trouble
some eruption called the nettle rash —the
cure Indicated In the name.
Spring cabbage never falls to receive a
cordial welcome from all, and though
there is hardly any othei vegetable which
In Its growth so impoverishes the soil of
the garden, there are few others from
which we gain so many of these valuable
phosphates neejded for the enrichment and
purification of the blood.
Onion* are one of the finest nerve tonics
we have, and If spring onions are chopped
and spread between slices of bread and
butter they form a sandwich that If eaten
at supper time will do a great deal toward
Insuring a good night's sleep. Plenty of
onion- Should !>o found In a spring salad,
even though eating them Isolates one from
his fellow men.
Dryness of the skin and other eruptions
call for more fruit to be eatrn. In gulden
rhubarb we have a valuable medicine,
even If It b an humble one. While young
and fresh Its acidity 1h not excessive und it
lends itself to the making of delicious
pies—yes. even of Ices. Excellent, too are
rhubarb fritters, and later, when it Is fully
grown, rhubarb will run a close competi
tion with champagne.

POLITICS Ilf LAl'niKSa
Tlie PoiMilintK Decide to Put Oat n
Full Ticket.
Dublin, Ga., May 38.—About sixty Popu
lists met at the Court House Ji> Dublin.
Saturday, and resolved not to go iuto the
white primary July 14, but to moot* oy
delegation, July 7 and put out a full ticket
for county offices. The meeting Saturday
was calk’d by Mr. W. J. Joiner, chairman
of the Populist Executive Committee, for
the purpose of deciding the future course
of the party.
For some weeks past it has been’ the gen
eral opinion that the Populists would put
out no ticket for county offices this year,
and a most cordial invitation. May 15, last,
was extended by the Democratic party to
former Populists to return to Democracy.
Since that time many former Poimlists
have expressed their intention of so do
ing, and did all they could to prevent the
middle-of-the-roaders from putting out a
ticket, but to no avail.
The meeting Saturday was not as har
monious as it might have been, and was
chiefly noted for the abuse heaped upon
the Democratic party, and Democrats in
general. Mr. J. K. Raggett, ex-represen
tative in the Legislature, was the star
speaker.
A number of others spoke also, but were
more temperate in their remarks than
Mr. Raggett.
The decision of the Populists to put out
a ticket does not disturb the Democrats
in the least. In 1898 every Democrat was
elected in this county by majorities rang
ing from 450 to 650 and it Is quite certain
that the Populists this year will poll
nothing like the votes they did two years
ago. All of the conservative men of that
party were In favor of making no fight
tnis year, and will not longer affiliate with
that party, which in this county is “too
dead to skin.” /
From now until July 14 politics In this
county will be warm, a large number of
candidates having announced themselves.
For Ordinary, Messrs. W. A. Wood and
T. J. Blackshear are candidates, with the
possibility of Judge Jno. Wesley Jones get
ting into the race.
For Tax Collector, Messrs. W. B. F.
Daniel, F. M. Daniel, J. B. Dan
iel, W. C. Bishop and J. R. Shep
herd have announced, and Messrs. J.
J. Mull is and Walter Id. Jones are consid
ering the matter.
The sheriff’s race will probably be be
tween Messrs. E. E. Hicks, the present in
cumbent, and W. E. Coney.
For Tax Receiver Messrs. J. N. Adams.
T. G. B. Law. Weaver Gilbert and John
Burch are candidates.
For Clerk and Treasurer Mr. Joel R.
Kinchen Is a candidate, and will l>e op
posed by the present incumbent, Mr. W.
J. Hightower.
Mr. J. 11. Gopp, who recently deserted
from the Populist party, will be voted, for
by the Democrats for re-election to the
office of county commissioner, and will
probably have for running mates Messrs
H. A. Knight and J. D. Manning.
TIFTON SHIPPING PEACHES.
Some of the Groweri Are Reducing

Tifton, Ga., May 28.—Mr. J. A. Fullwood

are being shipped from Tifton by every
train. By next week, the Alexanders,
Early Rivers and Triumphs will be ready
for shipment.
Reports from Fort Valley say that some
of the largest growers through

That old sore or ulcer, which has been a source of pain, worry and anxiety to you for ENDANGER
five or ten years —maybe longer —doesn’t heal because you are not using the proper treat
