A GRIZZLY
Came Near Catching the Terrible Teddy
A Narrow Escape while Hunting
Big Game.

Meekcr, Col, Jan. I7.-Govern-
or Roosevelt had narrow escape
during an encounter with a grizzly
bear.
The party lad been out from
dawn till dark ever day since the
start. The first day out they bag
ged mountain lion and large wild
cat. Sunday the party was out all
day. but with little success. On
Monday, however, they had an adj
venture that all remember. The
hunter had been out hardly an hour
when they came on the trail of a
huge grizzly. They followed the
trail through the snow until it enter
ed narrow canyon. The entrance
was so blocked with snow that the
hunters were compelled to dismount
and continue the chase on foot.
After an ardous tramp of three or
four miles up the canyon they caught
sight of the grizzly numbering along
ahead of them leisurely and with no
thought of approaching danger.
The party succeeded in getting with
in 100 yards of the beast before he
noticed them and then all opened
fire. The only effect of the fusilade,
apparently, was to make the beast
move the faster. Neither hunters
nor quarry were able to move very
fast on account of the deep snow,
but the men had the advantage, be-
cause the snow was we'll enough
packed to partially bear them up.
Colonel Roosevelt, in spite of
warnings from the rest of the party,
rushed ahead, pumping lead as fast
as he could work the lever of his
rifle. AT last, stung by his wounds,
the maddened animal turned. There
was no escape ahead, for the can
yon ended in Guide sac with pre-
cipitous walls on every side. Bruin
was at bay and ready to fight.
Down the canyon he came, deter
mined to change the bear hunt into
man hunt.
Far in the lead of the party, Col
onel Roosevelt stood his ground
until the magazine of his rifle was
empty, aud then without regard for
appearances, turned and ran. But
the path through the snow was not
well broken, and Bruin was the
swifter. The grizzly was weaken
ing from his wounds, but still gain
ing. Colonel Roosevelt dropped
his rifle and made an extra squirt.
Breathless and exhausted, he stumb-
led over a rock and fell headlong in
the snow. The grizzly, stopped by
the last fusilade, dropped, lifeless
mass, not IS feet behind Colonel
Roosevelt.

MIXED UP THEIR WIVES.

Binghamton, N. Y, Jan. IS
Which sister did Henry Wilkinson,
Of Alton, ILL.,, marry? That is the
question pulling not only Mr.. wiki
inson, but another groom and the
guests assembled at the wedding.
The brides were twin sisters,
Florence and Rose Eska. When
Wilkinson appeared on the scene
both fell in love with him. He was
blissfully unconscious Of this at the
time, but he wooed and won Rose.
Florence was chargrined, but ac-
cepted the attentions Of another
sutton and arrangements were made
for double wedding. The brides
were alfred exactly alike in white
aud their own parents could not tell
them apart. As they stepped in
front Of the minister a guest joking
ly remarked "Be careful, girls,
you do not change places ? =" In a
spirit Of fun the two exchanged.
After the ceremony Florence ex-
claimed that she had welded viii

was only momentary and that she
stepped back before the ceremony.
The guests we're divided on the
question, and the minister said that

WEATHER ALWAYS FAIR.
The Residents OF the Planet Mars are TO
be Enyied.

Just think of it While we are
suffering with colds, grip, pn=umon-
ia, smallpox and many other dis
comforts of the seasons, the people
on the planet Mars are enjoying fine
weather all the year around. So
says the great French Astronomer,
Camille Flammarian. He delivered
scientific lecture before the AS
Economical Society of France, in
Paris on January 9th, which may
be summed up as follows:
eve know Mars better than the
earth was known before the time OF
Columbus. We know the climatic
conditions of Mars better than we
know those of the earth today. We
cannot tell what the weather will be
tomorrow on the earth, but we all
know what it will be on Mars, since
1t is always fair. Whereas no one
has ever seen either the North or
the South Pole of the earth, one
pole Of Mars is always observable.
The conditions of observation are
peculiarly favorable on account of
its proximity, and because when
Mars is in opposition it receives the
full solar light.
"On Mars circulation of water
takes place not by rain and rivers,
as on the earth, but by melted
SHOWS from the poles distributed
over the planet by system of ca
nails. The circulation of water is
horizontal, instead of vertical, as on
the earth. Clouds on Mars are al
most unknown. The canals as seen
by astronomers are certainly water
courses, but their dimensions are
greatly exaggerated by growths of
vegetation on each side, just as from
a balloon the valley of river on
the earth appears to be the river it.
self.
"lhe melting of polar SHOWS has
a greater physical effect on Mars
than on the earth. Here the polar
seas are joined by oceans, and when
there is thaw at the Arctic Pole,
the rise of waters means a compen-
sating depression at the Antarctic
Pole. On Mars the great sea en-
vironing the South Pole has no con-
nection with the seas about the
North Pole, and the equilibrium of
water in both hemispheres of Mars
can be sustained only by canals.
These canals run in straight lines
for thousands of miles.
"On Mars the seasons are twice
as long as on the earth. On Mars
the diurnal rotation is thirty-seven
minutes twenty-three seconds longer.
The inclination of the axis of rota-
ton is similar to that of the earth.
The surface of Mars frequently un-
dergoes extraordinary changes seas
lakes and canals appear to double
and treble and then return to a sim
pie state tracts of land as large as
France increase and diminish,
change shape from round to square,
and vice versa, break in two and fin
ally appear double. This may be an
illusion caused by some phenomen-
on unknown to the earth.
'rhe luminous projections re-
ported from Lowell Observatory
are not discovery, but are obser-
we'd every two years. These pro.
jections are produced by the sun
shinging on the line of white cloud
or high mountains visible on the
northern border of the Jearian Sea. "

With aching bones,
And husky tones
When you speak.
And you're weak

And you sneeze,
And often cough
Your head near off,
And your note
That your throat
Feels quite raw,
And your jaw
Feels as if
You'd got biff,
And dull pains
Vex your brains,
Then you've caught il,
You have got it

Then like a flash
From head to feet,
A chill complete,
And you shake,
And you quake,
And there's desire
For a fire,
And something hot
Right on the spot
To quickly drink,
And you think
Right there and then
You'll never be warm again,
Then you've caught it,

It's in the air,

The microbe of the grip
Is on another trip,
And up and down,

And hoarsely say:

Solic'r Gen. Richards made an open
slur at ex-President Harrison, in his
argument before the Supreme Court
this week on the cases involving the
constitutionality of Mr.. McKinley's
Colonial policy, that disguised
many persons. Mr.. Harrison is a
private citizen who has held the
highest position within the gift of
the American people, and is en-
titled to respect, and it certainly
was not respectful for Mr.. Richards
to refer to Mr.. Harrison's recently
expressed opinion in opposition to
the Mckinley policy in such Ian
guage as ga distinguished lawyer
ann statesman affects to believe"
etc. 1t was gratuitous insult to
Mr.. Harrison, which shows how
resentful the McKinleyites are to-
ward members of their own party
who dare to oppose their imperial
policy. 1t is not probable that Mr..
Richards acted without the approx

ney General Griggs and Mr.. Nc
