A REMARKABLE BEAR STORY A Beast That Startsd a Locomotive and Blew the Whistle, INCIDENTALLY SAVED SEVERAL LIVES A Nareative Darlng In Conception and Thrilling In Detalls and Unfolded Amid Sobs by a Grateful Engineer, New York Sun: When the C. F. W. W. railroad was built, years ago, four miles of the track passed through a0 unbroken piece of forest known as the ‘Bear Den Woods. The nume was @ué to the fact that there a seamed and rocky ledge, extending diagonally ‘icross the wild strefeh, was a fuvorite lodging place for bears, which wero numerous in that region then, and, in fact, still hold their own there in num- bers sufficient to be a source of much an- noyance \o the farmers who strive for a living on the borders of the woods. The road connected Chilton Forks with the settlements at Wigton’s Willows, a dis- tande of twenty-eight miles, and was built to develop the timber and coal re- sources of the region. T was the engi- neer of the construction train during the building of the road, and it was a common sight to see bears come out of the woods ut frequent points along the line and inspect with ludicrous curiosity the strange work that was going on in their domuin. -We got so wo didn't mind them any more than we might so many pigs grunting along the track, and whenever any of us thought we would like a little bear meat we only had to keep our eyes'out for some beac that suited us as to size and condition and put a vifle ball in him, That was the most peculiar country for hard and sudden wind and thunder storms I ever saw. They would come up suddonl{ and sweep over those woods with appulling and often disastrous fury, as the great areus of down timbher here and there were unmistakable evi- dences of. The railrond was completed toward tho end of the summer,and n day was set for running the first train over it from Chilton Forks to the Willows. There was a long trestle a mile west of Gravely’s Station, which carried the road over a ravine that was more than a huadred feet deep. The track went onto the trestle from a very sharp curve, and the trestle was not cmircl{' finished, 80 that no train or engine could yet be run over it with safety,except with v slow and careful motion. Inmy juag ment I thought the officers of the com- pany foolhardy to run a train ncross the trestle, no matter how slowly or car fully, until the workmen had completed its bracing and supports, and I did not covet the engineer who was to run the train the honor of it. The duy the train was to be run the ecction foreman discovered that a piece of track near the castern extremity of the Bear Den Woods could be bettered considerably by u little more filling in and ballasting, and as everybody on the work had to be a sort of a general utility man he sent my fireman and me with a carload of gravel to bolster up the weak spot. The job was u bigger one than it was thought, and when we had finished the work it wns almost time for the excursion train to be coming aloj In fact, we hud heard the loco- motive whistling at Cherry Run, two miles east of us We had also heard the mutterings of one of these fierce storms that were common in the region. By the time we had got on the engine and were prepar- ing to pull out for Gravely’s the storm came howling down worse than any I had seen eince I had been on the road. We could hear the trees crashing down before it, und as I jumped in the cab a big limb from hemlock came swooping square un the engine, and pinned me down between the tender and the cab, and held me there as if 1 were 1na v The fireman had stepped up on the coal in the tender, and the same fearful gust thut bore the limb down on me caught him and whipped him out of the tender 08 if he had been a bundle of straw, and I heard him drop in the brush off to one side of the track. Hedidn’t come buck, and I supposed he killed. There 1 lay, perfectly helpless, and knew that the train, with all the officers of the rond and their friends aboard, wus booming along, and that in less than two minutes it must come dashing at fall speed upon my engine, The inevit- able result of such u catastrophe wag terrible to think about. The storm was now raging fright- fully thiough the woods. Trees were falling on every side and Icould almost feel my huir turning gray. As I lay there, struggling tofree myself, a bear, terror-stricken by tho awful commotion in the woods, and hur- rlving to escape from its fury, came climbing into the cab, and stumbling over the butt of the heavy limb that pinned me to the floor, tumbled against the furnace door. The bear scrambled 10 his feet and went pawing wildly about the eab. But I gave no thought'to the bear, for, mingling with the tumult of the storm, [ heard the rumble and tre- mor of the approaching train on the rails. Suddenly I heard a familiar click and instantly the engine started forwnrd with n bound. I turned my hewd and looked at the lever. The bear 1n his atmless clutching about the cab, had caught it with his paws and had ‘pulled her wide open.” The track was down grade all the way to Gravely’s, and great hoavens how we flew! The ex- cursion train was right behind us, I knew; and in a few seconds more would have crashed into my engine. But that grent horror wus escaped. and, although [ wus pinned down by the limb and had a benr for a pilot, I almost fainted with joy. Down that grade we flow like the wind that was howling all around us. The thumping and rolling of the engine seemed to make the bear wild with ex- citement, and he pranced avout in the cab ‘like a cruzy person. ‘Then of a sudden the sharp curve and tho danger- ous trestle beyond Gravely’s flashed across my mind, At the rate we were going, even if we rounded the curve all right, we would strike thut trestle at a mile & minute, and down we should go the bottom of that ravine, a hundred feot below! With this new horror fresh upon me the engine flushed out of the woods into the open vount Just a mile and a haulf more 10 the trestle, und I couldn’t gee how anything on earth could save us. As we tore by the little stution at C ly's the beur, in his prancing and o ing, caught sight of the whistle ¢ That excited his curiosity and he seized it und gave it a lusty pull. The whistle responded with a shiriek that startled even me. Its effect on the bear was elec- trie. He tumbled over backward and fell across the butt of the limb that held we down. His weight tipped itup and lifted the other end off of me, The bear rolled out of the eab to the ground und I was freed from the limb. 1 crawled to the lover, reversed it and fuinted. When I came to I was lying onthe ground with wmen around we. The pilos of the logo- motive was half ite width on the tro It has always been n sorrow in my life that the bear that saved my life and the lives of many others that day was killed by his fall from the cab. My fireman was badly hurt by his sudden voyage through the air, but lived to run many o trip with me on the old C. F. & W. W, axtmiPrarectn . Let '"Em Work for It, An old resident of Buffalo, sick in bed and likely to die, sent for a lawyer to make his will, that he might dispose of life-long earnings and savings, suys the Noew York Tribune. He toid the attorney that he had $30,000 and pro- ceeded to dictate his dispositions. To his wife he gave 15,000 und 85,000 to each of his three children. Thess bo- quests were first to be paid, and then he went on to dispose of the residue: ‘‘Con- sidering the love and affection that I bear to my beloved nephew John, I give and bequeath to him %5000, Consider- ing the love and affection that I bear to my two nieces, Sally and Polly, [ give to cach one of them #5,000.” And he was soing on. when tho lawyer laid down his pen and remarked: **This seems 0 me a work of superero- gation.” “What do you mean?” inquired the testator, surprised at the remark. “Why,” sald the lawyer, “you say yoursell yvou have but $30,000, and you have given all that to your wife and children, and I was thinking that if you have nothing more, I don’tsee how your nephew and nieces are going to get any- thing.” The old man was nettled, his eyes showed fire notwithstanding his weak state, as he answered “Git it! How are they going to git it? Why, dorg on ’em, let ‘em work for it us I had to do.” il X A Remarkable Colncidence, Amdng the stories of extraordinary coincidences not the least curious is the history of u letter, for the accuracy of which the London corvespondent of the Leeds Mercury says he can vouch. A short time ago a ludy in London wished to write to a friend in America whose address sho did not know. The only means slic had of procuring the address was to write to a mutual friend who also "lived in America. This she ac- cordingly did, and the letter was duly dispatched. The ship which carried the letter was wrecked, and the mails for a time lost. They were eventually recovered and brought back to Eng- land, the letters, now much damaged by sen water, being returned through the dead letter office to the sender. letter in question was sent back to the lady, who naturally examined it min- utely. To her su.p she found that another letter hud become closcly stuck toit. Holding up the twofold missive to the light, she deciphered the address on the one which was stuck to her own. It was a letter addressed to the friend to whowm she had wished to write, and to discover whose whereabouts her own letter had been dispatched. Her letter thus literally brought back its own unswer, gl L) N. BOOK: D PERIODICALS. We have received a pamphiet entitled “An Essay on Our Indian Question,” by Captain E. Butler, late of the Fifth infantry, United States army, in which this important subject handled in a masterly manner, showing unmistakable evidence of having come from the pen of one who is not only familiar with the Indians and their peculiarities, but who has ulso been a close stuaent of the history of tho red race from the earliest time up to the prosent day. A careful and thoughtful perusal ot Cap- tain Butler's essuy is uot calculated to awakon foelines of affection for the doscend- ants of the vrimitive inhabitants of America in the breasts of whito people. Too much false senimont has already been wasted on the Indian, and the sooner he 1s made to un- derstarid that he caunot impose upon the good nature or forbearance of the people of the United States, the better it will be for all concerned. “Itv would take volumes,” says Captain Butler, “to record the atrocities committed by the Indians during the revolution on the frontier settlements of New York, Pennsyl- vania and Virginia. Even to read of them atter time has rolled a hundred years over their memory mukes the blood run cold, and arives the reader heart-sick from the page. **He who believes that all the misery of the Indiaus is caused by the coming of the whites shonld kuow that tribes have starved and died in the winter because they were too lazy to gather in the fall what Providence pluced beforo them.” Captain Isutler regards the transference of this branch of the government from tbe War to tho Interior depurtment as a mistake, and says that numbers of friends of the red race, civihans of large experience, also 80 re- gard it. Captain Butler was stationed in this city for sowe time and while hore made a host of friends. He is now on the retired list, hav- ing been retired as licutenant colonel of the Second infantry and resides av Miles City, Mont. His essay is published by vne Stock Growers Journal, Miles City, Mont. rerhaps tho best description 1n a few words of “A Tramp Across the Continent,” by Charles . Lummis, is that given by the author himself when ho calls it * the diary of 8 man who got outside the fences of civiliza- tion and was glad of it.” Those who think 1t is necessary to go somewhers, no matter where 8o long as it is only outsiae of the United States, to enjoy a delightful tour and seo beautiful and wonderful scenery, should certainly reaa Mr. Lummis’ unpretentious book. Those who have the love of country fairly developed in them, and thoso who wish to have it still more largoly developed, will find a careful perusal of this work both profitanlo and pleasant. 1t is charmingly written aed brimful of graphic and deli- cately-worded descriptions of the beauties and grandeur of this great aud glorious country of ours. Published by Charles Scribuer's Sons, New York, The volume of the Century just completed, containing numbers from November, 1501, 10 May, 1502, shows far better than could any single uumber the diversitied character of the contributions tuat goto tho making of this famous magazine.

An inieresting story of life pmong the In- dians has been given to the world by Wil- liam Bruce LefMnewell under the caption of ‘‘Mauulito; or, A Strange Friendshin.”” The writer evidently has considerable faith in the good qualitics of the Indian und in this hittle work has endeavored to make it clear that by kindly treatment the average red man can be changed from a wild, scalp- secking savage into a docile and even lova- ble human boing, capable of attaining great things with proper and coasidorate training.
