Another Change.

The real estate firm of Hand &
Wilmington has dissolved, Mr.. Whit
tington retiring from the business.
The firm will hereafter do business
under the name of n. T. Hand & Co.,
and if money enterprise and more
favorable circumstances count for
anything the firm will do more busi-
ness than ever before.
When it is known that Mr.. Hand
during 1897 made more sales of real
estate than any other middleman in
Canon City it may not seem out of
the way to predict great success for
this firm.
Their Office will be with the new
RECORD quarters; 400 Main atreet,
and they have contracted for large
space in the RECORDS advertising col
umns for '9S. If the road to success
is by advertising then n. T. Hand &
Co. will succeed as no such firm has
ever before done in Canon. When
ever you have anything for sale or
rent, when your fire insurance needs
renewing, when you think of life or
accident insurance, when you want to
negotiate loan, or when you want
any kind of information about Canon
City or Fremont county, call on n. t.
Hand & Co., at RECORD office.

Tuesday morning that made him show

out in the morning to that point on
the hogback where he has some coy
ote traps set. On coming near he
found he had young coyote safe in
the trap but when he attempted to re-
lease the young wolf what was his
amazement to find he was surrounded
by dozen old coyotes all seeming
bent on spelling his cuticle. He was
armed only with an ak and that was
hardly sufficient arms to fight pack
of hungry prairie wolves. Under the
circumstances it took Mr.. B. but a
short while to decide that he had bet

pleased to find that the coyotes had
no objection to his doing this. Re
turning home be armed himself with
gun and then went out and accom-

BEARS GO VISITING.
jack Thinks His Busi,eI of Buckwheat
Mas a Good Investment.

The total failure of the beechnut
crop has brought the Maine bears to
tha verge of starvation. so that many
slytold animals are coming out to the
clesrings and getting shot while look
ing. for something to ear says the Bos-
tom Herald.
Jack Gilpatrick. an aged bear hunter,
who occupies camp on the side of
Chicks hill, in the town of Clifton, gave
up the hunt and took in his traps n
month ago and went to shooting and
poisoning bobcats, because he could
find no bears. Late in October he went
out for more wildcats, and in passing
through a beech wood saw recent
traces of a bear that had been scratch
ing up the falling leaves and eating
what few beechnuts of last years crop
he fould find.
The next day Jack went down TO the
store and bought bushel of a new
kind of buckwheat, which had large
kernel. 4 grain of buckwheat bears
thetsame relation to n beechnut that a
SNOWFALL does to satellite; they are
shaped alike. but one is infinitely larger
than the other. But Jack boiled his
oucANHcat an nlgnl, ara When ne
spread it among the beech trees the
next morning a bear that wore mag
nifyiag glasses might possibly mistake
it for beechnuts. Some hunters came
nloRg while Jack was setting his bear
traps among the buckwheat and COW
eriug them with leaves, and when they
saw what he was doing made fun of
him snd told about him at the post Of
fee. SO that every body heard of 1t and
the Story got into the newspapers.
Two days later Jack took big fat
bear TO Bangor and sold II for $40.
Since then he has caught two smaller
bears from the same lot and is looking
for more As the bushel of buckwheat

Afternoons OF Song and Story.
An innovation in chrrch socials has
been instituted by the Ladies' Guild Of
st. Cornelius church. The first program
of their Afternoons Of Song and Story
was given last Saturday afternoon, and
If there had been any doubt previously
that the new method Of socials would not
be successful that illusion was dispelled
on seeing the large number of ladies and
gentlemen who attended. That they en-
loyed the time was evinced by their ap-
probation of the program as well as by
congratulations offered the originators Of
the project. The first number was q
duet by Misses Lena Summersby and
Lula Sturm, q charming selection and
well rendered. Miss Kellogg recited
Aux Italien in . manner so natural and

Many regrets were expressed BY those
who missed this recitation. The most
important number on the program was

"Woman's Clubs.'' Mrs. Krum has
marked literary ability, and she treated
the very interesting topic in q thorough
