THE CHRISTMAS TREE

q there never was n forest and there
never was an oak
With liza mighty roots a-spreading
and its branches towering free,
That WIS really half so wonderful to
all the little folk
AS the lantern lighted tapers Of the
laden Christmas Tree.
For the acorn may be graceful. hut it
isn't like the toys,
Which are hanging on the branches
of the Christmas Tree galore:
There are dollies for the little girls
and trumpets for the boys
What a pity that it doesn't grow in
the forests any more.

For Babv,s PiIIerrsIip.

A pretty arrangement for baby pill
lowslip is to have the two sides entirely
separate, the edges embroidered in
fancy scalIops, the lower edge extend
ing beyond the upper edge about twice
as far as the upper edge extends be-
yond the pillow. The way to fasten
this slip to the little pillow is to have
a series of holes in both pieces of linen
SO cut as to match each other and fol-
low the exact shape of the pillow, and
then run narrow pink or blue ribbon
in pretty bow at each corner of the
pillow. The pillow itself may be COW
cred with pink or blue sateen to match
the ribbon. These pillows are the dam
test made for the wee cherubs.

ALL ABOUT SHOES.
When to Buy Them and How to Take
Care of Them.

When to Buy Them and How to Take
Care of Them.
Buyers should never go in the early
morning to buy boots and shoes. If
it is remembered that activity and
standing enlarge the feet, and at the
latter part of the day they are at their
maximum size, there would not be so
many complaints of shoes being tight,
which at the time of fitting seemed
perfectly comfortable. Shoes, like
gloves, wear longer and better if kept
for some time before using; and it is
wise to keep several pairs for week
before wearing them, and several pairs
to alternate with. Never wear a shoe
zoo small or that does not fit when you
first put it on, for misery more complete
than a shoe that pinches does not ex-
ist. A shoe should be washed every now
and then with wet rag and oiled over
light. In this case fresh application
Of backing restores the brilliancy of
the leather. A wet shoe must never
be placed too near the fire, for it will
become hard and stiff. The way to save
a shoe that is wet from an early grave
is to wipe it off and then apply an oil
or cream by means of soft piece of
flannel or cloth. Wear old shoes in
bad weather. Rubbers always spoil
new shoe. Patent feathers should never
be handled until warmed, and they can
be made smooth and bright by cream
rubbed in by a cloth or by the palm of
the hand, which is better. If shoes are
washed once a month they will be soft
and impervious to water. Those who
suffer from aching feet should occa-
sionally sponge the insides of their
shoes with a moderately strong solu-
ton of ammonia. The shoes must be
perfectly dry before they are put on.
The way to clean kid boots which will
not bear backing is to roll strip of
flannel four inches wide and a good
yard long into a wad and sew it tight
". Dip it into a saucer filled with
few drops of olive oil and good black
ink. Daub the shoe AL over, and, taking
6 fresh flannel, rub the shoe until it
iS dry. By this means the painful APP
Eroach of purple and the dreaded white
cracks will be delayed. A fine polish
and one that will make the leather last
longer than the ordinary backing does
will be obtained if the following mix
tare is used: Two ounces of ivory
black, three ounces of molasses and one
Eint of vinegar. Mix them together.

A BEAR IN A GAVE.
Two Indians Went In by the Light of q
Torch and Killed the Game.

Two Indians Went In by the Light of q
Torch and Killed the Game.
Robert H. Davis tells in Gameland
how two buck Indians of the northwest
ern coast tribes went into bears den
and, by the light of a torch, killed big
grizzly bear.
A young law student got sight of the
bear one day while he was still hunt
ing. While trying to approach it the
hunter alarmed the bear, and it ran to
a 1000 foot cliff and took refuge in a
hole there. The student climbed up 100
yards ON the face of the cliff and started
rocks down about the hole, thinking to
drive the bear out, but the bear would
not start. Then he went to a nearby In
dian camp and got Trinity Dick and a
Pitt river Indian, who said they would
go with the man after the bear if he
would let them take the rife. The stu
dent let Trinity Dick take the rife and
borrowed another for the Pitt river In
dian.
Il waited outside, the student told
Davis, while the Indians went into the
cave with torch. listened for long
time. then heard the dull boom of two
guns away back i'll the cave somewhere.
Then all was still again for some time.
After a bit Trinity Dick came out and
waved his hand to me- then went back
in. l followed and quickly came to the
bear, which was already lOosing its hide
at the knife point of the Pitt river.In-
dian.
1.-The cave was deep with many arms.
The Indians had followed the main
cave, disputing with each other as to
who should go first Trinity Dick, being
the eldest, got the place of honor, while
the other followed, holding the torch
high aloft. The bear was not in the
main cave, and they went to the end
without coming upon it. On their way
out, however, the men were confronted
by the bear at a distance of 20 feet.
Trinity Dick told his companion to hold
the torch steady so that the sights could
be seen plainly. When the shot was
fired, the bear pitched forward, and
then a second bullet was fired into it.
The Indians then turned and ran, load
ing their guns as they did so. But the
bear never moved again.
