was taking such unusual strides,
and why he was smiling 80?7 He
replied that there was a pair of

We think that the presence of
so many ladies on the ball ground
and their cheering and singing
had a great deal to de with “our

nor for the schicol house, when

A MUTUAL SURPRISE..
M
The Meeting Botwesn sn Ambitioue
Munter and His First Grizsi}.
In “Sketches of Lifo In the Golden
State” Colonel Albert S. Evans tells
an amusing anecflote of an ambitious
hanter who met his first grizaly bear
—ln processfon. The Incident occurred |
tn the woods near the site of the pres |
ent town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to #ést in the |
shade of a tree gnd unwittingly went
to sleep. When' he woke It Wis neer |
sunset, ‘and he sat up, rubbieg bis
eves and contemplating & retm"p,‘tql_fl
hotel, several miles distant.
Just then a rustling and crackling
noise from a clump, of chaparral aboat
100 yards away a}tmcted his alten
tion. Out walked a grizzly bLeas, a
monarch of his kind. He' yawned,
licked his jaws and then advanced to
ward the tree where our hunter sat,
but evidently wag unconscious of .bhie
presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about twenty paces when a female
bear followed hm, and an instant later
a third grizely followed her at e slow,
shambling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession ecame toward bim
until the forward grizzly was witbia
thirty yards. Then, scarcely realising
what he @id, he sprang to his fget
and uttered a frenzied yell—yell pppo
yelll :
The efect was magical. The sorer
most bear sprang fnto tbe air, turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over her, gathered him
‘self up and boited “like forty cafgt loads
of rock going down a chute” stralght
for the chaparral again, the other two
bears close at his Heels and never
turning to see what hac Zrightened
them,
~ The hunter, sceing the enemy reé
treating, sprang to his feet and fled
at top speed for the hotel, keaving bat
l and gun behind. The truth of his wid
and startling tale was proved the pext
'dfly by the numerous bear tracks of
different sizes foucd in the marshy
lground near by. But the three begrs
had gone off beyond pursuit.
A Real Burglar Proof Sefe
A curious modern invention is to
be seen by a favored few in the
Bank of England. It is claimed to
be an absolutely burglar proof safe,
because at night it is lowered into a.
subvault of heavy masonry and con
crete.
When the safe reaches the bottom
of the vault it is fastened down
by massive steel lugs, operated by a
’tnp}e time lock. Until these lugs
are released automatically at a fixed
time no human ageacy ean yg'se the
l safe. As for breaking through the
subvault and walls of stone and
;concrete ten feet thick, even with
id}'nanfite—-‘well, the burglar tmust
shake his head sorrowfully and ad
' mit that he has met his Waktaleo f
that safe~~Bostor Post. ... -, .
