1t Scared the Bear.

A hunter riding through the woods
near Gray's Harbor, Wash, the other
day, came to a big, fallen tree in his
path. The ground seemed clear on the
other side, and he leaped his horse ovsr
the trunk. The horse landed squarely
on the back of a bear, which evidently
had been asleep there. The bear was
as much startled as the horse and
quickly made off, while the hunter was
thrown to the ground, the horse pitch
ing him out of the saddle sideways in
it's frightened leap away from the bear.

YOSemite's Earliest Settler.

The d~iscoverer Of Yosemite Valley
was John M. H~utchings. He settled
there and made his discovery known to
the world. There his wife and daugh-
ter died and were buried. The Butte
have been a cruel act to have evicted
the old man from his cabin, as was
contemplated when the government
took possession of the ground as a park.
The Yosemite commissioners evidently
took the same view finally, for it is
now decided that the old man is to re-
main in undisturbed possession of his
cabin.

Made Money on His Nerve.

A number of men have made nice,
snug sums at Rossland this year upon
little capital, but a large amount of
nerve. One man from Butte, with a
good reputation as a r~ustler, but with
little money, remarks the Vancouver
B. c. World, bought a property and
gave his check on a Butte bank for
$4,000. He took chances upon making
a turn by reaching Butte before the
check. He did so, made the deal, and
had the money in the bank when the
check arrived. This is one instance
where a slow mail service was a bene-
fit instead OF a loss.

A Young Lady Apiarist.

From the Morrill, notes in the Little
Falls (Minn.) Tribune, it is learned that
Miss Nellie Cheeley has taken a home
stead claim and is going into the honey
business on a large scale, starting her
apiary with fifty colonies of bees. She
is experienced, and will doubtless make
a big success of the venture. This en-
terprising Minnesota girl will teach
school in winter seasons and care for
her bees during the summer months.
1t has already been demonstrated that
there is good profit in both bees and
honey, and the business has many fol-

Would Not Eat the Flag.

An Englishman in Washington at
dinner declined to eat an ice frozen in
the shape and color Of the American
flag. This ne did because he held it to
be bad form to absorb the national en-
blem. The incident was significant as
showing the distinction and the differ
ence between the British idea of patri-
otism and our own. Englishmen lift
their hats when their flag is carried
past and rise when the rational IN
them is played in theatres and musical
halls. No true Briton, in trade or out

Competition Was Aroused.

Usually when two little girls are
thrown in each others company, it does
not take them long to get acquainted.
The other day, however, two young
maidens Of Allegheny who were left in
the same room together, experienced
much difficulty in getting the converse
ton started. At last a bright thought
struck one of the girls, and she re-
marked, cheerfully:

Good Roads Scheme.

The latest scheme for good roads,
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets, for the wheels of vehicles to
run on, thus greatly increasing the
traction power of horses and the gen
eral comfort and convenience Of drIv-
ing and trucking, was suggested by
Gov. VERT, of New Jersey, in his last
message. lie says a horse will draw
on such a steel track twenty times as
much as on a dirt road and five times
as much as on macadam. The unani-
nifty with which drivers of all manner
of vehicles in the city streets take to
the car tracks clearly illustrates the
idea.

Few women have had n more mis-

Pulaski Avenue. Brooklyn. With all
the comforts that money affords. with
all the happiness that many loving
friends can give. the joy of Mrs.
Smiths life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages Of sickness. The
story is most interesting as told to a
reporter:
II was an invalid for years, suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. The thing which caused me
the most discomfort and made me Of
fenSive to my family was the worst
case of Indigestion Imaginable. l had
the best physician we could find, and
occasionally his prescriptions relieved
me temporarily. But the pains and
misery would all soon return again.

try remedies of which / read. Among
them were the Pink Pills. 1 took the
pills Inc foil owed out the direc-
tons to the letter, and before
many days 1 began to feel like a differ

II assure you it was impossible for
me to oversee my household for three
years. Now I visit my kitchen every
day, do my own marketing and shop

connected with my home and family.
"Oh. yes, 1 still keep taking the pills.
I take one daily after dinner. Proven

the ills which our sex are heir to would
be up and well if they could be in
duced to give the Pink Pills q fair trial.
/ certainly recommend them heartily
and and feel grateful to the physician
who put them on the market"
Mrs. Smith is a woman of some
means and standing in the community
and, therefore, her testimony will be
accepted without question by ali
thoughtful people.
