a newsboy, hardly nine years old,

poses of his wares every night until 8
o'clock. He goes home at that hour,
sleeps until midnight, and then starts
downtown in time to get the early
morning papers. He remains at his
stand until 8 in the morning, when he
goes to school, studying until 4 in
the afternoon. The little fellow
seems not to mind his hard
lines and labor bit. To use his
own words: "You've got to got used

it is made from selling papers or run.

he says that as soon as he is old

occasion. At that time red hosiery
was almost as popular with the ladies
as is black to-day. Nearly every win

A Death Trap for Animals.

+. II. Kuowlton tells in Recreation
about natural bear trap in the north
eastern portion OF the Yellowstone
National Park, on small stream
called Cache Creek, about ten miles
above its junction with the Lamas
river. Knowlton and friend were
going up through a gulch Cache
Creek had made, when near the head
of it, about fifty feet distant, they
snw huge grizzly bear curled up as
il asleep. Considering it to be i'm
polite to awake it. with nothing to
offer but prospectors picks they
climbed up the side Of the gnlch
at once, quietly and oxpcdtlonsly.
Out of reach of the bear they
stopped and fired rocks and anathe-
mas Mt it, but as the bear continued in
the same position they finally mndc up
their minds that it was dead. 1t was
dead and hnd been dend about five
hours. There was no wound on its
body, but little blood had dripped
from the nostrils. Then they began
to be conscious of Il sense of snf1oca.
ton from strong sulphur fumes nris-
ing from mineral springs thereabonts.
The bear had wandered i'll them,
tempted perhaps, by the skeletons OF
four other bears, nm elk. SO lIrrelS'
rock hares, and butterflies and other
insects, and had been nsphyXiated by
the noxious gases.
The head OF the gnlch made sort
of basin in which the gus settled.
This gas is not very deep, a mans
head being about on the surface OF it,
9 nee the scoops rim allows the gas to
flow down stream with tho creek, in
sort of gus river on the water creek.
