Mis-. Terrell, her elegant but well con-

she come this way sgain she will be
heartily welcomed and have even 8

NAL into a clearing and then rope 1T with
lariats By this means the bear is quick
ly choked tc death, and there is a great
saving of powder and bullets. The ropfng
game is never tried, however, when the
bear happens to be a mother with several
cubs trotting along in her wake. On such
occasions the ranchman Is happy to have
a pack Of hounds along with him and
good rifle in his hand Even the most
foolhardy ranchers, who occasionally rope
a catamount, Just for excitement will
waste precious shells on a mother bear,
rather than run any risk Of coming to
close quarters. For the natural instinct
makes the black bear a fighter second only
to the grizzly. The "yaller streak" which
the ranchman always counts on coming to
his aid in the case Of an ordinary black
bear Is totally absent in the case Of the
mother bear. and there Is nothing but fight

FASHIONS FOR MEN.
Some New and Attractive Methods of
TieinE the Cravat.

Tieing the Cravat.
From the Haberdasher.
In all of our new winter styles strict ad
herence to one standard is noticeable. Men
who dress properly do not attempt to be
original. The cravat is the only article Of
apparel that admits of the least bit of in
dvidua1 treatment. Ascots and Culrosses
are being tied in the once-over form. But
there many ways of adjusting these
large, soft cravats. l noticed one very
smartly dressed man at the show who had
a moderate poke collar and Culross.
The latter was tied in the once-over form,
the outside fold being pushed up very high
and the pin being careessly inserted down
toward the left-hand side of the waistcoat
opening. This is the way to wear a pin. 1t
shows the utiltarian idea and not the mere
ornamental feature.
When adjusting a "Culross" one should
be careful to pull out the upper apron and
spread it out to its full width, then lay 1t
over the under apron softly and pin it
either directly in the center, or down near
the left-hand side. Waistcoats for wear
with frock coats should be cut low. The
small opening crowds the cravat and does
not admit OF that easy, semi-neglige ap-
pearance which is essential requisite to
all crayat tieing.
Washable WaistcoatS are now being worn
with afternoon as well as with evening
dress and 1 think they will continue to be
popular throughout the season. They should
have wide lapels, and close with pearl but
tons which are in converging lines.
There have been one two slight changes
In collars that are very desirable. A new
fold collar has been introduced by a smart
haberdasher which has an extension band,
with an outer fold that comes very close
together in front. The spacing is uniform,
and the points are slightly rounded off. The
outer fold Is about a quarter of an inch
shorter than the band When the cravat is
adjusted the knot and bit of the band
shows. The new pokes are now very popu-
lar They have points which protrude
slightly. These collars are favored now for
formal day and for evening dress Another
new collar Of the fold order has extern
sion band and the points are gut away on
very sharp angle. This leaves a space of
pyramid form between the points, which Is
broad enough to admit Of the wearing of
large cravatS.

PLANNING A BIG HUNT.
Large Game to Be COrraled and Cap
tured for Sale.

tured for Sale.
Correspondence Chicago Record.
Some of the greatest wild game hunts
in the history Of Colorado or Of the entire
west are being planned by ranchmen in
Rio Blanco and Routt counties, on the
other side Of the Great Divide A novel
feature of these hunts will be the fact that
most of the big game will be taken alive
and sold to keepers Of menageries. The
hunts are planned to get rid of the bears
and mountain lions that are driving stock
men to distraction. Incidentally, other
game will not be overlooked.
In Rio Blanco county work is now pro-
crossing on a big corral on the ranch Of
Jacob Wilmington. The corral is built with
a wide, funnel-shaped entrance. When 1t

Of the Flat Top peaks The bears have
been making these peaks their rendezvous.
The animals will be driven to the big cor
raj and the most agile Of them will not be
able to climb over the rough timbers and
boulders. Only the bears that attempt to
escape on the march to the corral will be
shot. The gates will be closed on the cap
tives and then, II there are no purchasers,
the animals will be slaughtered.
Circus men and keepers Of geological gar
dens. however, claim that there will be
ample demand for all the good specimens
of bear that can be captured. They say
that all kinds Of American wild game Is
growing scarce, and 1t will only be ques-
ton Of a few years when it will be impos-
sible to keep the menageries well sup
Piled The ranchmen Of Colorado say that
they will be able to supply the menagerie
men with all the mountain lions and bears
that the amusement business demands. The
bears in particular have been numerous
and desperate this season. They are most

AS a general rule the black bear is the
most harmless of animals to everything
but a fat sheep or calf. He has no desire
to look for trouble in which men are con-
cerned, though when he Is cornered he
puts up a pretty fight. This season, how
ever, lad was killed and partly eaten by
