cubs, bolted a hundred yards or so be- fore she treed. And speaking of cubs, I never saw but one she bear that would not bolt and leave her cubs when at tackled. The exception was a small cin- namon, and I got between her and her cubs and got charged. Only the other day I saw three of the dogs maui a grizzly cub until you could hear him squall for a mile and the old bear all the time was standing in the brush not hundred yards away, and never off, cred to attack. But nowadays it is al- most impossible to tree a bear or bring it to bay, even with good dogs. It al- ways was hard to bring grizzly bears to bay with dogs, but almost any dog would put black or cinnamon up a tree in short order. Now bear will run all day ahead of the dogs before taking to tree or coming to bay. About the only way to hunt bears at present with any chance of success Is in the spring after they begin to take bait we'll By stringing out a lot of bait and still hunting early and late fair luck may be had.-From Forest and Stream.

WAYS OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN
 BEARS.
Hard Work Nowadays to Bring Bruin

Hard Work Nowadays to Bring Bruin
 to Bay.
 Bears go into winter quarters when the first heavy snows and cold weather begin, which is usually in November in the Rockies In the old days they would den up right in open country. A bears winter den is nearly always on north hillside, where the snow falls deepest and If possible they choose a place where a drift will form. Sometimes a bear will den up in a natural cave or crevice, but more often will dig himself hole 10 or 12 feet deep. Nowadays this den is almost always in the toughest country he can find, and Is generally pretty well up in the mountains in heavy spruce timber. A bear may make his den early in the season, but until cold weather drives him in he roams a lot. For nearly a month before den- ming bears eat very little, or not at all, and before they go in for good the stomach and intestines are frequently clean and empty. The stomach is drawn up into a solid lump like a chickens sizzard, and the bear is a solid mass of fat, inside and out. Along in Febru- ary or March, when bruin comes out again. he is still hog fat, and he keeps this fat until the snow is pretty well gone. When he first comes out he does not travel much, but as the weather warns up he soons runs off all his fat, though l have seen very fat bears as late as the middle of May, after the trees were green. As vegetation starts, bears live almost altogether on grass, roots, etc., though of course, they will often eat meat. Still. l have had baits right among the bears, with bears pass ing within fifty feet of the baits every night, and it was the middle of June before one of them touched bait, and then they were at the baits all the time.
 Even now bears feed good deal in the open in the spring when they are not molested, and spring is by far the best time to hunt them. But, as usual thing, bear nowadays keeps pretty we'll under cover. During the day he finds the thickest brush or timber that he can, and there he stays, slipping away quietly at the slightest suspicious noise. It used to be that if a bear heard or saw something that he did not un- derstand, he would stand up on his hind legs to look. And if he was suddenly startled he would often, after running away, stop and stand up to look back. l have killed several bears in thick brush by getting close to them, know ing about where they were, and then speaking aloud. Bruin would nearly al- ways stand up to investigate, thus giv- ing me shot at his head. But now a bear that hears a human voice hardly ever stops to look, but gets away on the jump.
 The black and cinnamons also used to tree very easily. l have run a good many up trees by giving them a sharp run on horseback for a mile or so in open timber and have run two up trees by chasing them on foot. And twice I have missed bears at rather close range and had them take to trees. In one in- stance the bear went up the nearest trees; in the other the bear, a she with

-------'----------------- OLD SAWS.
Old Proverbs Don't Always Hold
 Good.

"Old saws are sometimes broken, A. man convinced against his will is of his own opinion still" I have seen that badly smashed. A friend came in to see me some time ago while I was in bed with nervous prostration.
 The physician had strictly forbidden me to use coffee and I had tried a lit- tie Postum Cereal Food Coffee, but the Wayit was lit tasted so flat that broke the rules of the doctor and occa- sionally drank a cup of coffee, although each time I suffered for it. During her conversation she asked me why I didn't try Postum. "Oh," I said, T have tried that, but it's no use, I can't drink it." She laughed out loud, and said. "Why, my dear, you have been imposed upon. If you once have Postum made right, you will be in love with it from that time on.' I listened to her with little interest and much incredulity, but she kept on insisting.
 Shortly after. when I recovered a lit- tie, was visiting a friends house. who asked me if I would like a cup of Pos- tu1n and when it was served, it tasted no better than mine had, so you see I had, apparently, most thorough ex- perience with the taste of Postum, and I knew it's taste to be decidedly fiat and insiDid.
 However, found for the good of my health I must drink it, and so when I got home and was a little stronger, I determined to see if it could not be made to taste better. l looked at the package carefully and found that the directions were very plain, that the Postum must be allowed actual boiling of at least fifteen minutes. put it on in cold water. It took about fifteen minutes before it commenced to boil, then I allowed it to bubble and boil fifteen minutes more and after it had settled, l poured out cup which cer- tainly was as rich a dark brown cup of coffee as I ever saw ill my life, and when cream and sugar were added, I was amazed at the taste. Eureka" I had found what I wanted. From that time on you can imagine I knew to certainty when I was served at the table. whether Postum had been boiled long enough or not. There is as much difference as between night and day. Postum underboiled is flat, and boiled as it should be, is one of the most deli cious beverages a woman ever tasted. 1t is strange that people try and try again, and make Postum in so sovenly a manner that they fail to get the de- Iicious flavor from it. I, of course, have no temptation to go back to com mon coffee, for I have the finest coffee twice a day, and find it safe, pleasant, healthful and strengthening to the nerves.

THE ELECTION CONTESTS
FIVE OF THEM IN THE LEGISL1-
 TURF WILL COST fl NEIT SUM.

for by General statutes-Defendant Usually rsed-AveriII-Calla- han Case Will be Resumed Before the Senate Committee Tomorrow.
 The state of Connecticut allows a cer- tain sum of money for expenses to per sons who bring contests for seats in the general assembly, and the five contests brought before the legislature at this session will cost the state quite sum of money
 Section 419 of the general statutes says: "No contestants for seats in eth- CT house of the general assembly shall be allowed more than S100 for attorney fees and expenses, together with the legal fees of witnesses summoned with the approval of the committee on con- tested elections"
 The legislature usually reimburses the defendant in a contested election case, and the total cost will not conduce to the general economy that is now de- manded. In the Averill- con- test at Thursdays hearing about twen- ty witnesses were subpoenaed and they receive 50 cents a day each under the statutes and 10 cents mile for travel n IT Jo r-ff tc h If " miles from New Haven, so 1t will be seen that each witness at Thursdays hearing is entitled to $S.60 for car fare, and twenty of them will make SIP. There will be another day, with double the cost
 One hundred dollars for legal fees will not begin to cover the cost in the ordinary legislative contest In the Averill Callahan contest the counsel will charge several times this sum. MT Averill has three lawyers and MT. Cal lahan two.
 The senate committee on contested elections began Friday afternoon in the senate chamber the hearing on the peti- tion of Warren L. Hall, rep, of Water- bury, that he be declared entitled to the seat in the Fifth senatorial district now occupied by Senator William Kennedy, dem., of Naugatuck. John P. Kellogg of Waterbury appeared for MT. Hall and William c. Case of Hartford for Senator Kennedy. There was a large attendance of spectators, which includ- ed several senators.
 About thirty witnesses were sworn. It is alleged that errors were made in the count of the votes of the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth wards of Wa terbury, and a recount is asked. The day afternoon of this week.
 The house committee on contested elections Friday resumed the considera- tion of the petition of Samuel Q. Per ter, rep, of Pennington, for the seat in the house from that town now held by Andrew Slater, dem. As the evil dence in the case had been listened to on Thursday the proceedings on Friday were devoted to the arguments of coun- Sel on both sides. Arguments were made by Herbert Knox Smith and by Hiram R. Mills for MT. Porter and by Joseph F. Futile for MT. Slater. As the committee desired time to read the evidence and to decide upon the advisa- bility of opening the ballot boxes the hearing was adjourned subject to the call of Chairman King. The senate committee will again take up the Averill- Callahan contest to-mor- row, and at that time MT. Callahan's side of the case will be heard.
