ITO Be Continued
PEACE WITH HUMOR.
Car and Mouse Game Played with u
Captive Indian by a Grizzly
Bear.

An old Indian, says Mr.. Joaquin Mil
Ter in his recent book, "True Bear
Stories,'' was terribly frightened by
an old monster grizzly and her half
grown cub one autumn, while out
gathering manzanita berries; but bad
ly as he was frightened, he was not
even scratched.
1t seems that while he had his head
raised, and was busy gathering and
eating berries, he almost stumbled
over a bear and her cub. They had
eaten their fill and had fallen asleep
in the trail on the wooded hillside.
The old Indian had only time to turn
on his heel and throw himself head
long into the large end of hollow log,
which luckily lay at hand.
This was only temporary refuge;
but he soon saw, to his delight, that
the log was open at the other end, and
corkscrewing his way along toward
the farther end, he was about to
emerge when he saw the old mother
sitting down, quietly waiting for him.
After recovering his breath, he ell
bowed and corkscrewed himself back
to the place at which he first entered.
But 10! the bear was there, sitting
down, half-smiling, and waiting to re-
ceive him.
This, the old Indian said, was re-
peated time after time till he had no
longer strength to struggle. He
turned on his face, whereupon the
bear thrust her head in, touched the
top of his head gently with her nose,
and then drew back, took her cub with
her and shuffled away.
Mr.. Miller went to the spot with the
Indian day or two after, and was con-
WINGED that his story was exactly true;
and when you understand that the
bear could easily have entered the hol-
low log and killed the Indian at any
time, you will see that it must have
been a sense of humor which caused
her to play the cat-and-mouse game
with him.

1t Blooms Only Occasionally, But I'M
mediately After Having Been
Placed in Water.

One of the most singular freaks in
the floral kingdom has recently been
brought to this country. 1t is called
an Occasional flower" for the reason
that it has no fixed time to bloom.
No mention is made in botanical sci
ence of the existence of this marvellous
flower, says the Washington Times.
1t is mystery at present that is well
worth clearing up. When in a closed
condition the occasional flower is i'll
color and in form something like ma
ture and dried poppyhead cut with its
stem to 1t. Submerged in a bowl of
water for few minutes and then
taken out and placed by it's stem in an
empty bottle, the outer petals begin,
after several minutes, to open out.
This process is slow but distinctly
noticeable. The petals continue to
rise and to expand until they gradually
recede. When this action is complete
it resembles in appearance the starry
sunfower, but as regards the shape
only.
The occasional flower remains thus
open for about two hours, during
which time, the state of humidity less
ening by degrees, the fibers begin to
shrink and the petals close up grad
ually in the same way as they opened,
until the flower resumes its former po-
sition; but by the same simple process
it can be made to unfold and to close
up again and again ad lib. 1t is also
asserted that, properly nursed with
regard to temperature and air and
carefully handled, the occasional flow
er never decays nor degenerates in its
effect of radiance and splendor.

fertile to produce thirty and forty
bushels of wheat to the acre from less
than bushel of seed; where the gov
eminent gives everyone desiring it
free homestead of 160 acres of this
land, and where more may be bought
at from So to So per acre; where one
years crop will much more than pay
for the land upon which it is grown, it
is a wicked waste of time to cultivate
the "fence corners"
Before I had acquired this informa-
ton l was on one farm where road
way cut off a small corner of land from
the remainder of field of wheat.
There was, l should say, nearly an acre
in this little plat of neglected ground,
and asked the owner of the farm why
it had not been put under cultivation.
''To undertake to pillow that little
three-cornered strip of land would
take far more time than the land is
worth, giving both the present market
value. To add it to the remainder of
the field would necessitate longer
way around from the main road to the
house. Lying just across the road
there is 100 acres of as good land as
this upon which have this year grown
more than 80 bushels of wheat to the
acre, and I can buy that land of the
railroad for 81 an acre. 1t would take
as much time to pillow that small piece,
in it's present shape, as it would to
pillow two acres of the land across the
road, and so would be what we in this
country consider a waste of valuable
time"
Straight burrows and long ones is
the blowing rule in Western Canada,
and the gang plow is the favorite meth
Cd of turning the soil. The Western
Canada farmer, / found, cultivates his
land upon wholesale methods. No
matter where he may come from, no
matter what the methods in vogue in
his native place may nave been, the
farmer in Canada soon learns that it is
wholesale methods that pay best there,
and for this reason it is Western Cana
da that is the home of every improved
agricultural machine that tends to
the speedy handling of great harvests
or the production of them. These ma
chimes are not always the product of
Western Canadian inventors, but the
Western Canadian farmers are among
the heaviest buyers of this class Of ag-
ricultural machinery in the world.
The Canadian farmer never becomes
land poor as does the farmer in the
States. When he buys land he knows
that it will bring him adequate returns
upon his investment, and that his gov
eminent will not put burden of taxes
upon it. AS sample of what is posi-
BILE with the progressive farmers in
Western Canada let me cite the case of
one living near White Plains, in Mani
toba, Mr.. Winslow by name. During
the past season this one man had 2,700
acres of land planted in wheat, and har
vested $1,000 bushels. He makes farm
ing on these fertile lands immensely
profitable by going about it in a whole
sale way.
Do not, however, imagine that it is

ROMANCE FROM A PRISON.
Woman Who Attempted to Murder
Her Husband Saves Him from
Poverty

4 romance comes from the gates of
the prison of Wallachisch-M Me saritsch,
Germany, whence emerged the other
day a peasant woman, Marie Deutsch,
after serving 90 out of sentence of 25
years for attempted murder.
In 1881 Marie Deutsch was the wife
of prosperous farmer, but in weak
moment she fell in love with young
farm servant and the two conspired to
murder the husband and take posses
sion of the farm. After a desperate
struggle the husband escaped, al
though severely wounded.
The woman was sentenced to %
years and her accomplish to imprison-
ment for life, dying afterward in pris-
on. The husband, weak and crippled
through his injuries, was not able to
take care of his property, gradually
lost everything and became dependent
on his relatives.
When the woman left prison she took
with her nearly $3.50, the result of 20
years prison work. Her husband met
her as she came out of prison and a
reconciliation was at once effected
The money was handed over to him
and husband and wife went away to-
gether, determined to buy back the old
farm and begin life over again.

from the face to coil that may be
worn as low as desired. For evening
wear these coils are worn very low, in
deed, and as a rule one curl rests upon
the neck.
Hair decorations, too, are changing,
and the shell combs, aigrettes, bows
and even tiaras are giving place to
natural flowers, with the rose pre-
ferred. To be once more rid of the
pompadour and the elaborate decora-
tons worn in the hair seems almost
like the dawn of the millennium.
Great is green, and, in the slang
of the day, we might add 1.-The greens
are great" Green is undoubtedly the
favorite of all the fall shades, and it
is being worn everywhere and worked
into every conceivable garment. In
tones, it varies from the palest shim--
mering silver green to the pronounced
hunters, olive and myrtle shades. OF
all the tones the hunters green is the
one most frequently seen, especially
for street and afternoon wear. The
green in this case is almost sure to be
enlivened with little touches Of black
and white. Green broadcloths, chevi-
OTIS, venetian cloths, and in fact all the
heavier fall goods are proving popular
for tailor-made suits.
