HOW TO OUTRUN A BEAR.
Just Zig-Zng Along a Hillside and
Druin VIII Fail hDpelessly
to Leewnrd.

"Despite the reputation for feroc-
CURED, and perhaps justly, he is by
no means the animal most feared by
| the prospectors and mountaineers in
my country" said Colorado man
recently, according to the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
IF prospector is passing along q
trail and he spies Il lion in his path
he never even hesitates, for he knows
that as soon as the animal sees him
it will clear out, providing, always,
that it is not female accompanied
by it's young, and even in such a case
it is by no means certain that she
will show fight.
ut is altogether different with a
bear, and if mountaineer sees Il
bear on his trail he will go around
If he can and if he cannot do that
he will wait patiently for bruin to
get out of the way. You see. the
man that has spent years in the hills,
way, loses much of the ambition of
the sportsman, and he never wastes
his ammunition just for the pleasure
of killing game. When he shoots it
is either to get food or for sc!f-pro-
lection. Consequently, he is in no
way anxious to start row with a
bear, and just because it happens to
cross his path. There are several
reasons for this, but the principal
one is that it is dangerous. Any
man who knows about bears will
hesitate before deliberately starting
a row with one. BY the way, would
you like to know how n man on foot
can outrun n bear in billy country
if he has Il little start on him."
Upon being informed that his hear
er w2uld be very glad to get the in
formation, even though he might Sc
cretly hope that an opportunity Of
testing the method would never
come, the westerner continued:
"Yom see, 4 bears forclegs are
very short and his conformation is
such that, while he can run uphill
almu.t as fast as he can on the fiat.
he cannot run on straight line on
the side of hill. So when you are
chased by Il bear just run along the
side of a hill. Bears are game and
he Nlll start after you, but while
you are keeping on n straight line
bruin will be going at an angle down
the hill every jump. When you have
gone some distance just retrace your
step., and the bear, in his efforts to
catch you, will try to do the same
thing. only to find that you are get
ting farther from him every minute.
1t is n great system. / know, for I
have seen it worked. I would advise
you 20 try it some time, and if you
keep running back and forth long
enough the bear will disappear from
sight still trying to get at you"

Chem Coronation Seats.

A s<archer in by-past records writes
to the effect that seats at coronations
were not always so difficult to secure
as they will be at the ceremony of the
crowring of King Edward VII. At the
coronation of Edward !. seats could be
obtained for a farthing. At the cere
monies of Henry Will, Edward VI
and Queen Mary the price was groat
At Queen Elizabeth's the charge rose
to siXpence. From that time the price
rose gradually from shilling to ter
guineas, which was reached at the
coronation of George III. At Queer
Victoria's coronation the rate 70,
seats in the abbey was much higher

Mrs. McWilliams, 142 West Concord

contortions, dislocated her jaw the
other morning. She had tightly
packed a dress-suit case, and was try

She stuck her tongue in her left cheek,
she says, and tried again. The hasps
still proved obstinate, and she worked
all the, harder, also twisting her jaw
around.
Finally something snapped, but it
was not the hasp. 1t was her jaw.
Friends in the house tried to fix it, but
after many vain efforts a doctor was
sent for. just as the physician rang
the bell the jaw was put into its prop
er position. When the doctor looked
at it he saw that the well-meaning
efforts of her friends had caused more
harm than good. The jaw had not
been properly replaced, and the doctor
had to set it again. The woman's in

A Photographic Proposal ;
By ETHEL COLSON.
Copyrighted by Daily Story Pub. CO..

|0LD Mr.. Brewer believed himself
~ to be acting in manner most
broad and liberal minded indeed when
ne told young Philip Maintenon that
he might call ON his daughter Ger
trude as often as he liked. provided
he spoke or wrote no word of love
to the young woman. This embargo
was to last until Gertrude, who had
just passed her eighteenth birthday,
was 20 and Philip correspondingly
older. The young man accepted it's
conditions unwillingly, but with a
moderate degree of chcerfulness in
the beginning; he smarted under
them considerably as they become
more familiar.
1t was delightful to see Gertrude
as often as he liked, certainly, es-
pecially after the long weeks in which
he had wondered how much longer
he would be a welcome visitor at the
Brewer mansion. but he soon found
that the permission to see her often
meant far less than it had appeared
to do at first sight. He was not the
only young man who say her fire.
quently, to begin with. Gertrude was
a pretty girl, bright and popular in
the bargain; Philip began to live in
chronic state of fear lest some
other fellow wise enough to speak
to the girl should step in ahead of
him. The girl herself did not seem,
to his excited fancy, to take nearly
so much interest in his attentions as
she had done heretofore. Sometimes
he was on the point of throwing up
the whole thing for year or, two
and going west. All of which was
precisely what Mrs. Brewer had
counted upon when she had consult
ed her husband to make terms.
Gertrude is both headstrong and
imprcssionable, my DEAR" she had
said when Mr.. Brewer had spoken Of
forbidding Philip the house for the
time being, land if you do that she

or not. Merely tell Philip that she

that ne does-for some time. Ten

do no HARM"
After time however, Philip be-
came so deadly tired of waiting that
he gave up the idea of going out
west and decided to change his tao
tics entirely. He had promised to
write or speak no word of love to
Gertrude, certainly, but proposing
had never been mentioned. Surely
it was possible to make a proposal of
marriage without uttering love-sick
speeches.! Yes, he would certainly
propose, and that as soon as the op-
portunity offered.
But the opportunity was long in
coming. Mrs. Brewer had a nose for

fortune of a metropolitan newspaper
reporter, and while she did not exact

break his compact, SO she gave her
husband to understand, still she
meant him to have no template of
