CHUMMED WITH COUGARS.
TWO Savage Animals TrOtted by the
Side of an Oregon Botanist.

A. j. johnson, Of Portland, we'll
known forestry collector, while on his
way back from a visit of inspection
with H. s. Graves, of New York. one of
the United States forestry commits
s1on'S experts, to the Blue mountains
in Eastern Oregon, had an experience
that he is not likely to forget for some
time. He had stopped over at Grand
ma Munra'S and, in the afternoon, went
on botanical excursion into the
ne1ghboring hills, says the Portland
Oregonian. On his return he selected
the railroad track, which wound
around the bottom of the gully, as a
preferable route
The track was paralleled by a stream
for good way, and Mr.. Johnson was
making his way along this section
swinging a sack full of roots and
thinking of various things, when he
was startled to notice that he had COM
panions-two big cougars walking a
few feet ahead Of him in the bed of
the stream. One of them was lame
probably the result of some trouble
with trap, and he and his mate trot-
ted along slowly. They had noticed
Mr.. Johnson and apparently were
aware Of the fact that he had noticed
them, for every little while they would
swish their tails in playful way over
| the surface of the water and throw a
| backward glance of the eye at the
| lonely pedestrian on the railroad track
that suggested unpleasant things to
! him.
| It was not exactly a very comfortable
| situation for an unarmed man to be in,
with two great tawny cats walking
| along at his side. He wanted very
| much to turn around and go and look
for more roots, but he did not exactly
| like to do so for fear his action might
be misunderstood by his companions
! and cause them to take more interest
| in his person than they were then do
! ing. The fact, too, that they seemed
anything but plump was not very re-
assuring.
During the quarter Of a mile that the
| forestry collector and the cougars were
! in such close companionship the cou-
gars seemed to be enjoying their walk
! and Mr.. Johnson was wishing that ii
was the same with him. Finally, to his
| relief, they broke off up the hillside al
a swinging trot, stopping every now
and then to take a look at the unso-
ciable man back on the track, who was
now vigorously shaking his bag full
! of roots at them

quently this is the case. A woman can
not be a happy, helpful atniable wife who
suffers from weakness and disease at the
very mainsprings of her nature. Pity
may grow up to take its place, but love
itself seldom survives where this is the
case. If a woman will, she may always
hold her place in a mans mind and
heart. If she will take the right care of
herself in a wonlanly way she will never
lose her rightful inheritance, a hus-
bands love.

SCHOOL CHILDREN NEED SHOES.
Mayor Pratt Issues an Appeal to the
Public.

Health Commissioner Avery commented se-
riousy yesterday upon the scanty manner
in which a large number of Minneapolis
school children are clad during the present
season OF the year when disease is so preya-
lent
While there are many children whose clothes
are none to warm and offer too little protec-
ton from the cold. the majority of them SUI
Ter mostly from lack of proper footwear.
Rubbers and oyershoes, especially, those safe
guards against catching cold, are too often
wanting the poorer classes not having means
to provide their children with them. This
state OF affairs has induced Mayor Pratt to
issue the following appeal to those who have
plenty and who could easily contribute cast
on wearing apparel and other necessities for
the benefit of the unfortunate:
My attention has been called by the COM
m1ssioners OF health. and by school teach
ers, to the fact that many children of our
city are in want of proper footwear which
is causing colds and threats, often
terminating in diphtheria, pneumonia and
other ills
while without doubt there are children
poorly provided with other wearing apparel.
there is at this time especial need of shoes
and that which will protect the feet from
cold and wet.
I'VE all feel that no child should have
to remain out of school, or endanger their
own health or the health of others by
reason Of insufficient footwear. BY calling
the attention of our people to this need,
am sure 1T will be provided for
Packages can be sent to o. B. King,
superintendent of the poor, at the city hall,
or to the Associated Charities. Checks or
cash may be sent to these organizations
or to me, to be used for this purpose solely.
"A careful distribution of all contribu-
tons will be made upon the recommends
ton Of principals of schools and to other
cases after careful investigation.

MEMORIAL TO MIR. BARBER.
Single Tax League Makes Plans for
Services.

A special meeting of the Minneapolis Single
Tax league was held at the Office of Presi-
dent Stockwel, in the Phoenix block, last
evening, to take action regarding the death
of Edwin B. Barber, an eX-president of the
league and leading member About twenty
of the old members who have been associ-
ated with Mr.. Barber for nearly a decade
We're in attendance and committee was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions of respect and
coincidence. which are to be presented at a
memorial meeting to be held in two weeks.
1t is proposed, il possible, to induce Rev. S.
w. Sample, who formerly conducted the Peo-
pies meeting in this city, which Mr.. Barber
did so much to support and maintain to
make the memorial address. He is now the
pastor of a church in New York state, and a
telegram was sent to him last evening ask
ing whether he could make the journey. If
q favorable reply is received, the plan is
to mold memorial services in one of the
churches two weeks from today in the after
noon. If Mr.. Sample is not able to come to
Minneapolis the memorial exercises will be
held in the old single tax parlors in the
Sykes block.
At the chamber Of commerce yesterday the
death of Mr.. Barber was officially announced
during a brief recess, is the custom when
a familiar figure drops off.
The funeral of Mr.. Barber will be held from
the residence of his father-in-law J. M.
Simpson, Seventh street and Sixth avenue

LEGISLATORS MET.
Hennepin Delegation Affects an
Organic cation.


The members Of the Hennepin legislative
delegatiorS with the exception of Senators
Morgan AID Howard, and Representatives
Lehman convened and ganized in the Globe
building, Minneapolis. Senator E. G. Pot
ter was made permanent chairman, and the
delegation began the discussion of measures
to be advanced during the coming legislative
meet.
The main point which occupied the mind
OF the delegation was the question Of put
ting the office Of the sheriff upon q salary
basis, the same the other county Offices are
now operated. s. A. Stockwell was given
charge of a bill which should provide for it
legally, and in a. way that could not fail
to be constitutional
There was some talk regarding a change
in the primary election law and the advisa-
bility of having it changed to conform en-
tirely to the Australian system, which com
pels voters to vote the same at the primaries
as they would on the election Judge Hicks
will pass upon this matter. There was also
discussion regarding the changing the
time of municipal and state elections, from
the presidential period, but no action was TAX
en- upon that matter. ~ +'sN
