guard with their dog, which kept VI
its barking. When morning dawned
the trio were still there, and the bear
and cub still sat on the high branches OF
the tree. They got word to Westbrook'
vile eventually, and John Brown, an
old hunter, went and shot the bears.
The parents of the children, alarmed
by their failure to return home at
night, were about to start out in search
of them in the morning when they ap-
peared with the old hunter, who wanted
assistance in bringing in the carcasses.

chased the bears long way, worried
them, and finally drove them up tree.
The children had no weapons, but
they followed the dog and ejoyed the
sport. They went up to the farmhouse
of Mr.. Nation, on whose lands the bears
were freed, and asked him to come out
with his gun, but Nation paid no atten-

BREATH AS A WEAPON.
why a Chicago italian Was Fined Five

By judiciously mixing opinions and
Irish whisky, John Napolian, who is
only poor, untutored Italian, acquired
a rich, aromatic breath which would

lightened man. This breath, according
to his own account, he used for keep

Had he not made this confession he

Justice Dooley, after consulting vari
Gus authorities, decided that a man with
a breath like that was not justified in
carrying any other weapon.

SILK Underwear.

II you wish to be in correct fashion this
coming summer you must make your little
folks some silk undervests. 1t is very
easy, pretty work and promises to be
quite fad. Hamburg knitting silk is best
adapted for this work, being slack-twisted.
Make the body and sleeves in real jersey
style, knitting one seam aud one plain;
the bottom OF body and sleeves should be
made to cling more closely; knitting four
plain and two seam will serve this purpose.
Leave divisions for the arm sizes, and
overland the shoulder seams for a short
distance: crochet an open scallop for the
ribbon draw string around the large neck,
and no placket will be needed. Overland
the sleeves into the arm sizes. These vests
are very cool aDd durable. When outgrown
they can easily be made longer, and il
knitted on large needles are very elastic,
fitting well to the form and doing away
with intricate directions for making. The
number of stitches to be cast on must be6
determined by the size of the child. Those
used to knitting can quickly Judge. Black,
white, yellow and cream are the popular
colors for these garments.

THAT very clever, very successful and
admirable woman. Mrs. Rorer, studied
and conquered many things before she
learned to cook. To begin with. she had
college training at Aurora. and, having
inherited n taste for chemistry from her
father, who was both physician and chemist,
she wished TO become pharmacist. That
was before the way was sinoothed for
women who wished TO do unusual things,
and she abandoned the plan because the
way was made SO disagreeab'e by fellow
students. After that she learned wood
carving and took course in carpcniering.
which may account for the grace with which
she uses her hands and arms. She studied
cooking for the good of her family. and it
was with the same thought and to build up
one of her own children. who was delicate,
that she gained that scientific knowledge
that since has made her benefactor to
SO many other mothers.

MRS. DIMMICK, the fiancee of cx-Presi-

the ordinary sense. Her face is fairly youth
full, with the ebuliience of good feeling.
The eyes dance with enjoyment as she talks.
and the lips smile frequently and almost
girlshly. Her eyes have prevailing tints
of hazel. The face is little careworn,
but you remember that its owner has been
tried In the battle of life. The forehead
is crowned with an ample coronet of soft
brown hair; the nose straight and delicate:
the tips trifle too thin, perhaps, but
firm and cohtented In expression.
