a flock of sheep too long on grass, with
TO other food than that the frozen pas

to sheds should be gradual Allow the

GROW MORE THAN CITIES.
Suburban Towns Are Attracting Pop
ulation From the Metropolis.

That reaction against city life which
has been going on of late years has
been shown in the census of the cities
of the country. The cities have been
merging into suburbs and the suburbs
into the country until it is difficult to
determine where the one leaves off and
the. other begins. The impossibility of
dellmiting or defining the suburb. as its
extent becomes more and more indefi-
mite, is due no less TO the influence Of
trolley competition than to its direct
facilities. To this connection must be
largely attributed the fact. discovered
by Professor Common, in his recent in
vestigation of railway rates in Massa-
chusetts, that while fares for long dis
tances have fallen but little below
what they were fifty years ago. com
mutation fares for short distances have
fallen nearly 80 per cent in ten years
that is, during the period Of trolley ex-
tension.
1t is by no means a case merely of
cheaper suburban living. For the on
portunity of a country home for those
whose work calls them daily TO the CITY
keeps pace with new devotion to all
that now attracts to the country. tbe
love of sport and any interest or diver
sion that calls one out into the omen
suburban living has thus come 10 mean
something far different from what If
used TO be thought when suburb was
merely nearness to a great CITY. And
with every Increased remove the sub
urban city worker is brought closer to

HOT RACE WITH A GRIZZLY
Lively Experience of a Colorado Post
master With q Bear.


". II. Parson, local manager Of d
locs} typewriter company, received a
letter this morning from Tom Hamil-
ton, postmaster at Hamilton, ROutt
County. describing a thrilling race with
a h,dr which he enjoyed this week
The bear was a big grizzly. The
grizzly when he sees a human form is
bound to do one of two things. He will
either run at or away from the stran-
ger. and if he does the former it is gen
orally d case of doughnuts to pretzels
that it IS all off with the stranger. N
this case the bear that runs at a man
yearned for closer acquaintance with
the postmaster and would probably
have interfered seriously with the fu-
ture delivery of the United States mail
but for the fact that Hamilton is some
thing of a rough rider and had a horse
under him.
Postmaster Hamilton had fer the time
being left the affairs of state in the
hands OF a subordinate While he went
out TO round up some straYing cattle.
He went about three miles from home
and was standing beside his horse Won
dering which way to turn next when
there was stir in some brush ahead
of him. Tt looked too small a disturb
anCe for d COW, but he thought it might
be calf and went forward to investi-
81 G. He was within a few feet of the
brush when a big grizzly stood on its
hind legs and threw him a kiss.
Hamilton didn't stop to catch the
kiss, but made a bolt for his horse. The
horse had seen Mr.. Bear and started
away almost as eargerly as did his
master. and it was nip and tuck for
the saddle between bruin and the post
master. After run of 100 yards Ham
iIton caught the pOmmeI of the saddle
and threw himself aboard just as the
I l.
spurs went into the horses hide and
the animal leaDed forward with a bound
which made the bear feel that his meal
of man was apt 70 escape. But he
! doubled himself up into a ball of fury
and started red-hot after his intended
victim. The chase kept up until the
door cf the pOStmasters cabin was
TeaCheF. when brUin turned about and
made for the woods. He was allowed
/ to escape.
