spread among the mountaineers and
a large searching party Of volunteers
was hurriedly formed. The members
spread out in all directions and COW
cred the territory thoroughly. Sun
day night the search was kept up, and
Monday and Monday night, without
finding the slightest trace of the miss
ing children.
Tuesday new searchers started in,
and all redOubled their efforts. Sever
al women had volunteered their serv-
ices to help find the three babes in the
woods.
John Weldon, a Maryland hunter
who happened to be in the neighbor-
hood, rendered his services and made
a point of examining thoroughly the
thickets and spots where underbrush
was most dense. In one of these Sc
cluded spots he discovered a hat, and
also noticed what appeared to be evil
dence of a body having been dragged
over the ground. Following the
tracks, he and his companion saw the
dead children, or what was left of
them, and also saw the bear which had
killed the three little ones. The kill
ing of the bear followed instantly, and
then the remains of the babies were
taken up and carried TO their home,
where a grief-crazed mother awaited
their coming.

Is now Mrs. Seesholtz, and the taiIor's
former wife is now Mrs. Pickles. The
men snapped wives IN the Klondike
country, and seem very happy over
the exchange.
Seesholtz's first wife wasn't with
him on the first trip into the gold
country. He left her behind in his
tailor shop while he went north to
win fortune, but she followed a
month or so later. On the trail the
tailor met the Pickelses and they
struck up a friendship. In Dawson
SeeshOltz boarded with the Pickelses.
1t wasn't long before Mrs. Pickles and
the tailor developed a strong affinity
for each other. They told Pickels

present Mrs. Seesholtz says.
He ordered that before anything
done about it the tailor should send

and brought her four-year-old son
along. Friends of the couple say that
she rather took to heart the news
that her husband didn't want to live
with her any longer, but preferred
the wife of another. But that was
where Pickles came in. He liked Mrs.
Seesholtz better than he had liked his
own wife, and after awhile she liked
him.
Then the swap was agreed on. It
should be said that the first Mrs
Pickles was about 40 and her hus-
band a few years younger. The

London covers $4,000 acres, Leeds
is next with 1000, and Sheffield third
with $3.50.
England imports 42O pounds of
grain a year for each inhabitant of
the country.
Within six years the New Zealand
government has bought back of the
original settlers 324. 167 acres of land
used for sheep runs and 1880 families
have found homes on them.
The movement for securing better
cottage accommodation for the labor

ill-feeling on the part of the farmers
in the south of Ireland.
Glasgow's population IS 76O,329, an

that of American cities. In 1901 GlaS-
