"Speaking of bears rarainds me of an experience I had on Cat Island, a small chunk of land iu Arkansas. and on the Et. Francis river, in said an old resident of Arkansas, "and it Was one of the'most thrilling experiences I ever had- in the woods. I was farming on Cat Island that year.

It is a Cense, wild section; cane grows very high. the undergrowth, made up of bamboo and other matted and tang-hag vines. was almost impenetrable, anti altogether it was simply impossible for a man to get through the woods without cutting his way througn, and: he had to crawl nearly all tne time at that, In 1878 bears were at-most as thick as wild cane in that section. They made a savage attack on my corn crop. and I had resorted to all kinds () expedients to get rid of them.

bui, without any sort of success. "Every night they would invade my corn fidd, get an armful of corn, as much as a bear could carry in his arms, which is no small amount, and would take it on to the den. When they bean The attack I spent many nights in the persimmon trees at the back fence line. but I believe a bear can smell a human being ten miles if the wind happens to be favorable. During the nights I watched from the persimmon tree the wind was blowing, back toward the woos.

and not a bear entered the corn field. Bat this is not the point I had in mind. "One drizzling afternoon I went out into the woods, several miles back of the place hunting for one of my mules. and just took my gun along in order to be on the safe side of an emergettcy. for in addition to the great number of bears that season catamounts ant panthers were plentiful.

I was alone. with the exception of a couple of green. untrained hound pups. who wouldn't leave my heels under any circumstances until the little experience I am about to relate. After winding aaannd for some time I came across a rataer large- hollow tree.

the base of which aroused the suspicion In my mind that it was the abode of some kind of animal. The hound pups strengthened this belief by whining and scampering around through the undergrowth in a half frightened sort of way. "The opening at the base of the tree was about as large around as a whiskey barrel. I conelnded that I would take a peen into the hole to see whether I could catch a glimpse of light at at the top. for the tree had the evidence of being hollow all the way I leaned my shotgun against the tree and shoved my head through the opening In the side of the tree.

aiv Ihead and face were literally covered with a shower of wooddust. There was a heavy. deep roar in the body of the tree and as ouick as a flash a big. black, ponderous something dropped to the ground. and In an instant I found myself face to face with the hear.

He shot his bead out through the hole. showed me his teethteeth 'which seemed to ma as share as daggers, and they were not short either. "I found my hound imps at home. They didnrt return with me, and if they had couldn't have told just bow they got back. I left a fne- breech-loading shotgam leaning against the, tree.

and its there far as I am aware. Tha bear actually blew his breath in my face. and I became panic striclen and to Save my life I can't tell whether I went over or ander the cane in getting out of the woods.

The visit of Prince Henry, of Prussia. to the United States is a good example of the sums that are applied to the Doman lite relations of one government with another. The little journey to this country cost the Kaiser somewhere the neighborhood of $100,000, but it was considered worth the as it put the two nations on a far better footing than they were before. An illustration of the same spirit of courtesy is shown in the case of -the relief ship Resolute, sent out by -Engits land in 1359.
