Geo. Michel went up to Powers Bros.
mill Tuesday evening, and found the
whole outfitin such state ofexcitement
about bears that itliked to have cost him
his life, as one OF the force nearly mis-
stock him for cinnamon on horseback
as he rode up the canyon. Thursday
night Of last week u two-thirds grown
hog was taken out OF a high board pen
near the house by a bear, carried into
the timber, and partly devoured. Next
morning the mill hands followed the trail,
found the carcass, and knowing the bear
would be back again, built a platform in
tree near by, and taking all the arms
they could muster there early in the
evening, waited for bIuin. Some time
after dark they heard the bear reconoit-
ering in the brush. After about an hour
OF suspense, bruin evidently conscious OF
their presence In the vicinity, made a
dash for the carcas, snatching it up with
a blood-curdling, growl, and started off
with it, but almost at the same instant
four rifles and shotgun spoke from the
tree the balls and buckshot all struck

A Man in the Kitchen.

Another carefully Taught her sons
many details of work usually consider
ed the sole province of girls and con-3
itcernihg Whicn boys generally grow mp
n ignorance. They washed and wip-
ed dishes, learned to prepare plain
meals, had practice in sweeping and
dusting and putting to rights, and
were taught to patch and darn neatly
learned something of the ''higher
branches" When they went out into
the world they had frequent occasion
to bless the mother for these useful ac-
complishments; and when they became
heads of households, they had an in
tclligent practical knowledge of the
1etails of the work of which their
wives had charge and were able to
make the burden easy in many ways
where another man would have made
| it heavier.
No man worthy of the name per-
mits his wife OF any woman in the
house to do the heavy drudgery of
carrying coal and wood, caring for
furnaces and stoves, moving stoves or
heavy furniture, beating carpets, and
80 on. But this need has to be the
limit of mans usefulness about the
house. There is no reasonable reason
why man should not be able to broil
steak, boil or bake potatoes, cook an
egg, make coffee OF tea and prepare
other articles of food should an emer-
gency arise to make it desirable (and
such emergencies do often arise,) and
do it tor without turning the kitchen
and dining-room topsy-turvy in the
operation. Some men can and do ac-
complish such work, and even make
biscuits, griddle-cakes and the like.
A woman whose husband is in the
habit of .taking hold" when needed
in housework has been heard to say
that she would rather have him to de-
pend on in case of indisposition or
other emergency than any girl that
could be hired. He does not interfere
when there is no cause for it, but he
saves labor for his wife and expense
Tor himself, and he is not at all asham-
ed of doing it nor afraid to undertake
it. No man need be; rather than any
man should be ashamed of unwilling
ness and should regret inability to per
form any ordinary household tasl
on occasion. Good Housekeektng.

home, and the bear sank down with a
groan. Another charge was fired into
the postrate body, and after q long wait
and no motion on the bears part, the
party came down from their perch and
found it 'ssure enough dead" It weighed
six or seven hundred pounds, the hide
measuring eleven feet from nose to tail
and eight feet from claw to claw across
the fore legs. CLAWS four inches long.
There are two other bears known to be
prowling about the camp, and the NH
hands, together with Walt. Meade and
his brother, both ofwhom like bearmeat,
have been waching for them every night,
so far without success, the wary animals
being shy of the bait, though Their tracks
occasionally show close to the cabins. -

A Veterans Fate.

School EleCtfnnS

AS the school law gives no directions
for calling and conducting school elec-
tions, would recommend that you in
struct the school officers and electors OF
the several schools districts in your
county, that the school clerks post no.
tices of the school election to be held on
June 16, 1891; at leastten days prior to
said election, i'll not less than three OF
the most public places in each school
district, which notices should state both
the time and place ofholdlng the election.
The polls should, open at 10 O'Clock a.
M. and remain open until 5 O'Clock p. m.
The notices OF the election should state
that district school board consisting
OF a chairman, clerk and treasurer is
to be elected, and that a vote is to be
taken on thequestion OF the adoption OF
q uniform series of text books for
the country.
.'District" means the whole school
corporation, and there is but one poll
place in the district. There are no sub
districts under the present law.
The voters present at the opening OF
the polls should choose u judge and clerk
OF election, which officers, upon the clos
ing OF the polls, should place one tally
sheet with the ballots, in the ballot box
and seal the same. Another tally sheet to
be placed in sealed envelope and dellv-
cred Immediately to the school district
clerk, if he is not the one choosen for the
clerk OF election. and the said school dis
trict clerk should Immediately issue GER
tificates OF election to the persons receiv-
ing the highest number OF votes who
should qualify on or before the last
Tuesday OF July following the election.
The old school board should meet in
July, settle with the outgoing treasurer
inspect and approve oaths and bonds o.
officers elect, and then turn over books
and papers to them.
Under the present school law, the state
superintendent does not furnish district
blanks, unless, possibly, clerks, treas
urers' and teachers reports, and probably
not these this year.
The date for the superintendent con
yention at Madison, is July 22nd.
