The marriage Of the young society
woman who turned dressmaker with
sueh success, when her father failed
a few years ago. brings up the old
puzzle. With 50 many entirely ineffi-
cient women in the world who are
longing and waiting for marriage, and
nothing else why should a perverse
fate decree the marriage Of one Of the
few efficient women2 This particular
case has It's own significance because
the woman whose efficiency marriage
Is TO render null and void Is at the
head OF a dressmaking establishment
Just think Of the dearth Of good dress
makers In New York City. Just think
how badly establishments are needed
with q woman al their head who, first

a large portion Of society. that a wom-
an. however successful. may not en-

in fact, a very comfortable dowry

W. f. Person. local manager Of a
local typewriter company. received a
letter this morning from Tom Hamil-
ton. postmaster al Hamilton, Routt
County, describing thrilling race
with a bear which be enjoyed this
week
The bear was a big grizzly. The
grizzly when he sees a human form is
bound 10 do one Of two things. He
win either run al or away from the
stranger. and II he does the former 1t Is
generally a case OF doughnuts to pref
zels that Il is an on with the stranger.
In this case the bear that runs az
man yearued for a close acquaintance
with the postmaster and would prona-
bly, have lnterfered seriously with the
future delivery OF the United States
mail but for the fact that Hamilton Is
something Of rough rider and had a
horse under him.
Postmaster Hamilton had for the
time being left the tfialrs Of state in
the hands Of a subordinate while he
went out 10 round up some siraying
cattle lie went about three miles
from home. and was standing beside
his horse wondering which way 10 turn
next when there was a str In some
brush ahead Of him. II looked too
small a disturbance for a COW. but he
thought lt might be calf. and went
forward 10 investigate He was with
10 few feet Of the brush when a big
grizzly stood on its hind legs and
threw him a kiss
Hamilton didn't stop 70 catch the
kiss. but made a bolt for his horse.
The steed had seen Mr.. Bear and
started away almost as eagerly as did
his master. and it was nip and tuck
for the saddle between bruln and the
postmaster After a run Of 100 yards
Hamilton caught the pcmmel Of the
saddle and threw himself aboard just
as the bear made q bound for him. A
pair Of spurs went into the horses
hide. and the animal leaped forward
with a bound which made the bear
feel that his meal of man was about
TO cape. But he doubled himself up
into ball OF fury and started redhot
after his intended victim. The chase
kept up until the door Of the postmas-
ter's cabin was reached. when bruln
turned about and made for the woods
He was allowed 20 escape Denver
