EGERIA, Colo, Nov ..-Away out
here in Routh county, with Wyoming
on the north, Utah on the west and the
nearer chain of the Rockies on the east,
you may kill grizzlies if you have luck,
pluck and plenty of lead. Egeria is so
miles from the nearest railway station,
and the Businesses of the grizzlies lie 35
or 40 miles farther from civilization.
Your guide takes you by wagon and on
horseback high up through the aspens
or "quaking ASP" as they are called here,
to the green timber, 5000 feet or more
above sea level, amid wilderness of
snowclad mountain peaks. Here, amid
deep snow, begins the grizzly hunt.
1t is possible to hunt grizzlies at this
season without dogs. You know when
you have struck a trail by the great
sprawling plantigrade, marks in the
snow. The grizzly, weighing COO or
800 pounds, packs the snow hard wher-
ever he sets his foot and makes COM
paratively easy way for the hunter with
a good stride. Every man of the party
must carry 45 caliber winchester, with
shells bearing 80 grains of powder. Some
carry heavier pieces. Anything lighter
is Of small value on grizzly hunt, and
it is foolhardy to have piece that does
not repeat. The journey on foot at those
far heights is inexpressibly fatiguing to
q man unaccustomed to the region. The
guide literally hears every beat of the
tenderfoot's heart The thirst is almost
insupportable, and the parched lips crack
in the dry atmosphere.
When a fresh trail is struck the guide,
hastens onward with his tenderfoot,
watching warily every indication that
may point to the whereabouts of the
bear. If, as sometimes happens, the
guide discovers that there are two bears,
one walking in the footsteps Of the other,
the guide and hunter had better be
mutually convinced of each others
courage and skill, for if one wounded
grizzly is a CHASTITY thing to face two
are far worse. The guide from time to
time plucks n lock of silver tipped hair
from the rough bark Of pine eloquent
evidence of the bears recent presence.
Sometimes n great mark in the snow
shows where the bear has stopped to
wallow, and if the tumbled snow shows
moist spots the guide knows that tho
game is near Mt hand. The trail marked
by great footprints, 10 or II inches long

A Lost Bride.

An absentminded groom in Rome, Ga,
forgot that he was to be married the 9TH
er day, and when the time for the cere-
mony arrived he was not present. An ex-
animation showed that he had Oversight
himself. He apologized, but the father
of the bride refused to accept him as
son-in-law, and the engagement was
broken.-Dct-o;t Free Press.

Ancient stationers.

In medieval times the stationarius, or
stationer, held official connection with a
university and sold at his stall, or sta
ton, the books written or copied by the
librarius, or book writer. Such is the
origin of the modern term stationer, one
who now keeps for sale implements of
such service, and not usually the pro-
auctions of literary persons. -Harper's

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-W When the chilly

a ,'hi,ant., -op;c Merchant.

Any one who has happened to be
in the neighborfoOd of IL factory or
mercantile establishment where large
numbers of girls are employed, about
the time the employees are leaving
work for the day. could hardly have
failed to remarll the large proportion
Of narrow chests and round shoulders,

are exhibited. That steps are seldom
taken by employers to mitigate i'm
any way the evil effects of the close
confinement and constrained position
on the health and anatomy of grow
ing girls brings out in all the brighter
contrast the commcndable example
of a Boston merchant who has opened
agymnasium for his female employees,
where they receive, free OF cost, pro
fcssional instructions in tho art of
physical exercises.
The classes are free to all who
choose to avail themselves of the
privilege. and daily instruction is
given between the hours of five and
six i'm the afternoon. Already GOO
girls have joined the class, and many
more arc awaiting the verdict of their
sisters on the ncw departure. Those
who have tried the exercise are cn-
thusiastic as to its benefits, md say
that the tired feeling callsc; !. close
confinement in the store soosi gives
place to one of elasticity and fresh
ness.
This Boston riilanthropist looks for
ward to the time when a gymnasium
will be attached to every large busi-
ness establishment where women are
employed. and it is earnestly to be
hoped that his dream will soon be

DURING the last Presidential campaign
the Democrats gathered into their fold
all the rag, tag and bobtail elements Of
the country. They eozsned the Popu-
lists, they knuckled to the free coinage
element, they took the anarchiststo their
bosom, they toyed with the Prohibition
ists and they formulated a good Lord,
good Devil platform. 1t was with them
anything to beat the Republicans and
give the countrya a change" Well, the
Republicans were beaten and we have
the change, as witness the deserted forg-
es, the silent spindles, the closed mills,
the stringent money market, the hunG-
reds Of thousands of idle men begging
for work and the millions OF mouths that
viii soon be crying for bread and mean
while, in q Congress specially called for
the purpose Of giving speedy relief to
country, the discordant and-Repuo-
hcan elements gathered into that body
by raking the political slums, quarrel
over the spoils and rend each other
about doctrinal differences. The people
are resping the bitter fruits Of their fol-
", but so it has been and so it viii be
hereafter. for it appears to be written in
the book OF fate that each generation, re-
fasing to profit by the experience Of its
predecessors, must taste the bitter waters
Of adversely, which their own folly has
pressed to their lips.

Great Increase in Currency.

WAsHISsroN, D. c., Sept 1.-The in
crease in the national bank note circulation
during August is without parallel in the
recent history ofthe national banking sys-
TEN. The secured circulation based on
bonds increased Sl5.4l5.425 during August,
on the heels of an increase during July of
$, 800, l9l. This increase of more than SO
10000 in two months has carried the
secured circulation to Sl7s,63G7lS, and the
circulation ofaIl kinds to Si9s ssl,SsI.
The bonds now on deposit to secure circnla-
ting notes amount T. S204, ,096. 200, an Increase
Of nearly SSO0O0.0)O since the movement TO
take out increased circulation began in the
middle ofJune. The per cent, bonds from
the bulk Of the deposits, amounting TO
SiG6, ,20l $50, and showing an increase Of
100000 during August.
The passage Of the bill now pending in the
Senate to increase the bank circulation to
the par value of the bonds would add So
10000 to the outstanding circulation and
make the total sz24 600 .0OO-a figure which
has not been reached within the past four
years.
Out ofS5, 10000 worth ofcoiuage executed
at the mints during August, $3.50 500 was
gold. as follows: Double eagles, 8, 500, 600;
eagles, 81 ,267 400; half eagles, 1913. 400. The
silver coined amounted to 100000 pieces of
the value of $674 goo, in half and quarter
dollars and dimes.

TEE Republican State Convention held
at Harrisburg on Wednesday last did the
business for which 1t assembled quickly,
and did it well. There was no jarring,
no conflicts; everything was harmonious
and everybody was happy. The only
two candidates before the Convention
were Jndge Fell and Col. jackson, and
both were nominated by aoclamation.
Two more worthy and available can
didates were never before presented for
tie sufrages Of the Republicans Of Penn
sylyania, and their election by an over
whelming majority is beyond cavi. The
platform adopted has the true ring, and
Is a clear enunciation OF the principles Of
the Republicans Of the Keystone State.
Protection to American industry, honest
money, pensions for the Union veterans,
restricted immigration, appropriations
for the public schools. WHAT more is
wanted What better issues could rally
Republicans for battle?
With such q ticket and such a platform
success is assured, the only question to
be determined is the magnitude Of the
victory.

Coz. CHARLEs ?. LINCOLN, an old sol
dier, lawyer by profession, and Deputy
Commissioner Of Pensions during the
Harrison Administration, proposes to
test in the courts the legality Of Secretary
Hoke Smiths action in suspending pen
sions granted by Secretary Noble under
the Act Of June y, 1890. Mr.. Lincoln
holds, a. the HERALD has heretofore done,
that after a claim has been properly ad-
indicated and a pension granted the
claimant has a vested right, of which
the Secretary cannot deprive him, unless
he first shows that it was procured by
fraud If Mr. Smith can arbitrarily over
thow the decisions Of his predecessors,
then II follows that his successor can
overthrow his rulings, and thus each Sec
retary would be law unto himself, and
the old soldiers would hold their pen
sions subject to the rulings OF caprice of
each succeeding Secretary. The deter
mination Of Col. Lincoln and others to
take Secretary Smith into the courts and
have ii legally determined whether, at
his own sweet will, he can suspend the
payment Of q pension properly granted,
has brought the young Secretary up with
a round turn, in fact, has caused him to
back down on the question Of his right
TO suspend pensions, and accordingly the
Commissioner of Pensions mas been or
dered TO modify the practice Of the Of
fee as 10 the suspension Of pensions
and that hereafter there will be no
suspensions, except in cases where the
record shows on its face that the soldier
was not eatitlcd t. any pension whatey-
er."
This is a great victory for the veterans,
bat the brash young Secretary should be
required to 60 one step further, and restore
10 the rolls those whom be Illegally sus-
pended on mere suspicion.
