THE ONLY WAY
TO BAG A GRIZZLY

people other than expert
- enced hunters realize that big
i game animals have receded to
such an extent that the noun
tains of the great Northwest are fast
losing their right to be known as a
sportsman's paradise. This is due
not so much to the operations of the
nimrod as to the inroads of the small
ranehmen and the settlement of the
territory formerly given over to the
denizens of the forest. 1t takes hard
work and patient waiting and stalking
TO bag game that used to be secured
as incidents to a ride over wild
country.
The grizzly bear has learned habits
of caution that render him rare prize
nowadays, and ii is seldom that the
hunter is able to run across him un-
less bruin is lured from his almost in
accessible haunts by tempting bait
which has been dragged across his
trail and cached where the waiting
hunter may secure an opportunity for
a fatal shot. This method of batting
the grizzly is the one employed by
guides who offer, for consideration, TO
give ambitious sportsmen a chance
to kill this monarch of the American
forests.

~ How Creole Children Play ~

combed and their faces washed, clean
white dresses would be exchanged for
the rags of the day, and four clean
little dears would march into the
drawingroom looking as if they had
just come down from heaven.
Once there they were happy again,
for mother and daddy always played
games with them, told them stories,
and did most things they wanted.
All of them had their faverite little
snatches OF song they would insist on
singing every evening. George, being
the youngest and the most impatient,
was always allowed to sing his first.
"Heigh, hol Hallyl
If | was young, I'd neber mally.
Me always good boyl"
This was sung over and over again
in a squeaky little baby voice. Iris
came next, as second youngest
"a penny for a cotton-reel,
A halfpenny for needle
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weaself
Weasel" was Lizzie's cue, and in
deep, solemn voice she would render
her song, borrowed from the negro
cook.
ME da go da gully,
Go pick me callalu.
Me da bile ME pepper-pot,
No gI nobody none.
Fofo no fasten in a me troal, yahl"
Nays song was not nearly so in
teresting or mysterious as Lizzie's.
1t was the good, old-fashioned nursery
rhyme:
"Froggy would a-wooing go
(Hcigh-ho, said Roly).
A lily-white duck came and gobbled
him mp,
With a roly-poly, CANNON and spinach
(Heigh-ho, said Anthony Roly)."
Why the children chose these frag-
ments of songs goodness only knows,
but they would have gone to bed in
very fearful state if they had not
been allowed to sing them. Then
would come prayers, the goodnight
kiss, and the tucking-up in their little
white cots with the osquito-netting
So they would fall to sleep after
hard days play. lulled by the chirp
of the crickets and the croaking of the
lizards in the coffee fields outside.

A Military Golgotha.

At Kingston, Jamaica, there are sew
eral old forts, which defended the har-
Dor in bygone days. They are now
crumbling to ruins, their walls disman-
tied and moss-grown, their rusty guns
lying amidst tangled masses of trop-
ical vegetation.
Fort Augusta is the chief of these an
cieni defenses, and is still used as a
powder magazine. No place on earth
has more CHASTITY history. 1t is a
military Golgotha. 1t is said to have
slain more men than the bloodiest
battle in history.
Now that so much cutlery is being
made against the methods of the Brit
ish War Office. Il is interesting to
recall its most criminal blunder-the
erection OF this fort. Ii was built
upon malarial mangrove swamp
death trap.
Regiment after regiment was sent
ont thereto die Tradition says that
OF one battalion only two men sur
vived. and that of another only a
bugler boy was left. There is no
place around the fort where a horse
can trot as far as hundred yards
nothing but mud, mangrove bushes,
and water. Vet the War Office, in
the time OF George u actually sent a
regiment OF cavalry there. They per-
ished like the rest.
Fort Augusta has been abandoned
as barracks. A small guard of negro
soldiers are stationed at the powder
magazine, but their health is so bad
that they have to be relieved every
few weeks.

t-HERE were four of them
1 May, Lizzie, Iris and George.
My WAS the eldest and

1" HERE were four OF them
May, Lizzie, Iris and George.
Il May was the eldest, and,
therefore, the leader in every
thing. They were the children of
coffee planter, and lived on a planta-
ton in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica
AS perfeck little savages as any chill
dren we'll could be.
May was her fathers favorite, be-
cause she was the eldest and could
understand the things he liked to talk
about. He used to ride all over the
plantation with her on the front of
his saddle, while the other children
amused themselves as best they could
without her.
But when May was with them they
had great times. Lizzie and she were
nearly the same age, so, OF course,
they were mostly together, the others
being too young to join in many of
their wild sports.
A Favorite Amusement.
One of their favorite amusements
was 10 live in a mango tree. They
divided it between them, one-half of
the tree being Lizzie's house and the
other half Mays. They would pay
formal calls on each other and give
tea-parties 1t was a big old tree, but
they knew and loved every twig of it.
They would swing from branch to
branch like monkeys, chattering all
the while to their imaginary children
or husbands.
When they tired of living in the
tree, they used TO play they were hens.
Walking on their hands and feet, they
dragged after them several bottles
tied to their legs by strings. These
were their chickens. They used to
scratch fer them just as the hens did.
One day they went so far as to scratch
up their mothers newly planted
flower bed, because they saw the hens
doing il. Wherever the fowls con-
gregated there the children followed.
Mothers Amusing Human Chicks.
Even when the fowls went to roost
in the evening, the children followed
them ND TO the old roSeapple tree and
roasted beside them. But they could
not stay there long, for they would
soon hear the cry OF their old nurse:
Where is dem blessed chillun
Chillunl Chillunl Come an put on
your shoes for de ebeningl Come an
dressl Where in de name of de
Blessed Master am dem chillun?"
Perched in the roseapDle tree, with
their frocks torn and soiled, their feet
bare and their hair rumpled like a
hens nest, they kept as quiet as the
roosting fowls; but presently they
would be found and marched off to
undergo the torture of dressing for
the evening. Their hair would be

OF the late Ameer OF Afghan
istan, and the right-hand man OF the

when the Prince was only a year

Gray, who was court physician TO the
boys father, "he used to ride about on
horseback, dressed in military uniform
and return the salutes OF the soldiers.
He looked very dignified and proud,
as he sat on his horse alone
AT Durbar one day, the Ameer was
very much amused at the authoritative
way the little chap, who was not yet
two years old, ordered his page boys
about He frightened one of them SO
much that the child began to cry. The
Ameer laughed, and gave the little
prince an orange. The youngest has

he heard one OF his page boys speak of
me as the feringhi'-a term of scorn.
1t was remarkable to see his look of
indignation-it was exactly like his
fathers He called the boy up and
spoke very severely to him, ordering
him in the future TO address me as
| Doctor Sahib' and to be polite to all
strangers. As punishment he made
him bow TO all the other little boys of
his court and call them 'Sahib' At
that time, he was only three years old,
but he was every inch prince"

Animals That Never Drink.

1t is generally supposed that no liv-
ing thing can live without water, yet
in the Hawaiian Islands there are
thousands of cattle and horses that
never get drink.
On the cattle ranges in the upper
attitudes of the mountains there are
no streams or pools of water, and the
animals which run wild there until
they are sent to the slaughter house
subsist on a grass called MAMMA"
which serves for drink as we'll as food.
This grass is always heavily covered
with dew.
