get into their heads. Some of these
latter ones are very queer things
for instance, we used to have a no.

please everybody; queer that we
should think so, wasn't it ? Well,
we don't think so now, in fact, we
have reason to believe that there are
some people who are not pleased
because we are selling goods so low

A WOMAN OF NERVE.
Desperate Battle Between Woodman
Wife and Hungry Bear.


Wife and a Hungry Bear.
A desperate battle took place few
days ago between famished she bear
and the wife of Amos Corey, a woods
man on the Upper BeaverlSill, near
Turnwood n Y, says the New York
Times. For several days bear tracks
had been seen in the neighborhood,
and once agood-sized bear had been seen
crossing the road near Corey's cabin
The other morning Corey started with
rifle and dogs to hunt down the animal,
and had been gone about an hour
when his wife heard great commo-
tion in the dooryard. Just then little
dog ran into the house yelping with
terror and covered with blood Mrs.
Corey, thinking of the bear, seized
keen bladed AK from the rack and shut
ting her baby and little boy in a bed
room ran into the yard. There she
saw huge she bear rolling and
tumbling among the sawdust and chips
of the woodpile, while over it lowered
swarm of honey bees. The bear
had upset half dozen hives Of bees,
and the little creatures were having
their revenge. Mrs. Corey watched the
battle for awhile and then she made
stroke at bruin with the AK, inflictinR
severe wound in the animals side.
With a howl the bear rushed upon her,
unmindful of the bees Rising upon its
hind legs it advanced upon the woman
and tried to hug her. Mrs. Corey piled
the ak with energy, and after several
blows struck the animal in the head,
killing it instantly. She received dur
ing the battle blow from one of the
bears paws which badly lacerated one
of her arms. After the bear had been
killed the bees swarmed about Mrs.
Corey, singing her severely. They
finally rested on the bushes near by,
where she succeeded in hiving them.
Afterward she was surprised to find
that two little cubs had come out of
the brush and were smelling about
their dead mother. She captured them
and after feeding them with warm
milk they became quite tame. She will
keep the cubs and raise them

800 Reward, 500,

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimonial.

than their chance social relations.
Women are broader than men believe.
They can love not only in one way, but
in twenty different ways. Because
they must feel a thing before knowing
it well, they easily become attached to
an opinion, a plan, or an ambition.
But they are stanch adherents, and
worth having as allies. If a man can
once enlist the sympathy of good
woman in his work, he is sure of an
anchor after that
Women are always ambitious for
their friends; they delight in a purpose,
and will not let it be forgotten. Even
the silly and selfish woman can be in a
measure lifted out of her narrowness
by being made a partner in some
worthy aim. Not that it is advisable
to seek partners among the silly and
selfish; there are numbers of others, in
telligent, conscientious and earnest if
men really care for them. What stands
in the way of an understanding by men
of the character of modern woman is
their distrust of her. When they learn
to put that aside they will know her as
she really is

DIR. George II. Hepworth contributes
to the very amusing article on Girl
Bachelors" He tells of cynical friend,
whom nothing in the solar system from
this particular occasion is growing
over the new subdivision in society
