polar bear is sometimes a dangerous
neighbor. Bears prowled around the
Germania continually, and several Of
the men had narrow escapes with their
lives. '+" .a
Doctor Copeland was surprised only
fifty yards from the ship by bear
which broke for a barrier of ice-hum-
mocks, galloped up to within five PAGES,
reared up, and struck him down with
both forepaws. Copeland had not time
to load his gun, but as the animal
caught his clothes, he swung the butt
end of it across it's snout. This and
the noise of approaching comrades put
the bear to flight, and he started off in
the swinging gallop peculiar to him.
Far more exciting and dangerous
were the experiences Of Doctor Bergen.
| VI While making observations he was
seized by a polar bear, which knocked
him down, caught him by the head,
and dragged him several hundred yards
over the ice, which fortunately was 50
rough as to retard the brute. so much
that the pursuing party, by the use Of
|
the edge of a smooth ice plain,
over which the bear, with his enormous
strength, could have carried the victim
on the gallop. Bergen received about
twenty wounds, the most serious being
two bites in the SKULL which, for
tunately, failed to fracture it.
The most notable of all fatalities re-
sulting from an unprovoked attack on
man by the white bear is that which
occurred in connection with Barentz's
voyage to the arctic regions. It is said
that the beast seized one man by sur
prise, killed another who came with
a party to rescue the, first, mangled both
and was finally killed by shots fired
by other members of the party.
OF this bear De Veer wrote: ''We
dressed her liver and ate it, which in
the taste liked us well, but it made us
all sick, and we verify thought that we
should have lost them, for all their
skins came off from the foot to the
head, but yet they recovered again, for
the which we gave God hearty thanks. y
Hall says that the Eskimos Of Cum
berland sound likewise believe their

It did not prove to be so, for some of
/ his own dogs which seized upon the
liver unawares suffered no ill effects

liver simply as a concession to preju-

and intractibility. These critics forget
that both Indian and bear simply ask
to be let alone in possession. of their
hunting grounds, and that instinctively
they pursue the most effective, indeed
the only possible methods by which
the few can withstand the many.
The polar bear is not dashing, i'm
pulsive animal, but he is endowed with
caution and sagacity toaan unusual ex-
tent. In nearly every instance the sue
cess OF the bear in obtaining sus-
tenance depends upon stealthy and
concealing methods whereby he is
withdrawn from the view of his victim
until he is ready to strike. IA
While it is true that skillful hunter,
with good firearms, stands in ne great
danger from the polar bear, which he
usually attacks at disadvantage to the
animal, nevertheless it requires man

Would-Be Soldier Denied Himself Food

Among the many who have given up

fought in every war this country has
had since the declaration of independ-s
3ence. When war with Spain was de-
ciared he was the only member of his
family who was able to go. He tried
to enlist in the engineer corps, but was
overweight. For a week he tasted and
exercised to reduce his weight, but was
again turned down. Not to be thWart-
ed he wrote to the secretary of war,
but was too impatient to wait for an
answer. When he heard recruits were
being enlisted for gatling gun company

medlately accepted. The next day saw

father enlisted in the emergency call

A great-grandfather served in the war
OF 1872. His great-great- grandfather
came to this country with Lafayette
and was wounded at the battle of
Brandywine. John Gross, another
great-grandfather, was soldier with

THE "DUM-DUM" BULLET.

German Military Experts Favorable View
MIL of Its Effects.
DR.. Won Bruins, professor Of interna-
tional law at Tubingen university re-
Gently published pamphlet, in which
be pleaded, in the interests of hui
inanity, for an International inter-
diction Of the "dum-dum" bullet, says
the London Mail. The professor ac-
knowledged that the use of the bullet
was justified in the colonial or Indian
wars, where the fight is generally at
close quarters, and often between man
and man, and where it is question Of
European totally disabling his oppo-
nent or being at once struck down
himself. In wars between Europeans,
however, where the combatants are
generally far apart, the professor con-
slders that the bullets in question are
not only unnecessarily inhuman, but
are less effective than ordinary bull
let's. Surgeon-General DR.. Korting,
surgeon in-chief of the LIST German ar
my corps, who has been carefully study
ing the reports of the Italian hospital
corps on it's experiences in the late
campaign against Abyssinia, now writes,
says our Berlin correspondent, as fol-
lows: "The Italian projectile (soft lead,
copper mantle, 65 NM calibre), with
great penetrating power, produced
small inlet and outlet apertures, bone
fractures, and altogether a smooth
wound canal. On the other hand, the
hard lead projectiles of the Abyssini-
ans (Gras and Remington, eleven mil
limeters) exploded in the soft parts
and shattered the bones. The effect
was that Abyssinfans, even when shot
in several places, were able to con-
tinue fighting. Out Of hundred Abys-
sinians who applied for relief to the
captured Italian doctors per cent
presented themselves without any sup
port, in spite of the fact that some of
them were shot through the breast.
In reality only those men who had
been wounded by artillery were
brought on stretchers. Within three
weeks thousands of Abyssinians were
healed in spite of the primitive band
aging. The results on 1.-THE Italian
side were infinitely less favorable. The
troops Of the Negus had also soon dis
covered that the small caliber weapon
used by the Italians was absolutely in
adequate, and when they were given
the muskets and ammunition captured
from the Italians they filed through
the copper-end covering of the bullets
in order to increase their efficacy. The
English troops did exactly the same
thing and for the same reason during
the Chitral campaign, whereupon a
tremendous storm Of indignation arose,
which penetrated even to the congress
hall of the Berlin surgeons am of
an another opinion. The war expert
encess referred to above show rather
that the minimum caliber has been
reached, and that in number of
cases sufficient to influence the result
of the battle the mantled bullet OF
| muskets under $50 millimetres does
not suffice to put the enemy 'hors de
combat The filing through the point
of mantled bullet is, in my opinion,
an act of self help against an enemy
on whom the unimpaired bullet does
| not inf1ict sufficient injury"

Patent Medicine, But in Natures
Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you
that there is but one way to get in
creased flesh; all the patent medicines
and cod liver oils to the contrary not
Withstanding
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor, mind and
body, and that is through the stomach,
by wholesome food, well digested. There
is no reason or common sense in other
method whatever.
People ere thin, run down, nervous,
pale, and shaky in their nerves simply
because their stomachs are weak
They may not think they have dyS-
pepsia, but the fact remains that they
do not eat enough food, or what they
eat is not quickly and properly digest
ed, as it should be.
DR. HarlandSOn SAYS the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain diges-
tive acids and peptones, and deficient
secretion of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is
to supply what the weak stomach
lacks. There are several good prepara-
lions which will do this, but none so
readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which are designed especially for ali
stomach troubles, and which cure all
digestive weakness on the common
sense plan Of furnishing the digestive
principles which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give per-
feet digestion. First effect is to in
crease the appetite and increased vigor
added flesh, pure blood and strength of
nerve and muscle is the perfectly natur-
al result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est tonic known and will cure any form
