When we add to the Parker def

the dog is better than a nurse to
keep the children from harm and
would willingly sacrifice her life to
save that OF his children. Lee has
one little girl who likes to play in the
street. She occasionally tries to do
this, although her mother has strict
ly forbidden it.
Beauty knows that the children
should not go out of their own yard"
said Lee yesterday, land whenever
my little girl tries to go through the
gate she has a rough and tumble
fight with Beauty. Beauty win run
in front of her and if she refuses to
stop grasps her dress and pulls her
back. She holds on in spite of any
efforts she makes to get away. Some
times the child in her innocence re-
sents the dogs actions and cuffs and
kicks her. When she hurts her the
dog whines pitifully, but still holds on.
The other day the child in her rage
took hold of the dogs ear with her
teeth and bit it. The dog howled in
pain. but did not offer to do her in

TOO MANY BEARS
TERRoRIzE THE NATIONAL PARK
Man and Boy Killed at Yellowstone

Man and Boy Killed at Yellowstone
Lake Hotel.-Campers and Private
Cohveyances in Danger.
A Cody, Wyoming, dispatch says that
a man and boy employed in the yell
lowston National park were recently
killed by bears The names cannot be
obtained, but the victims were in tho
employ of the Lake hotel, on Yellow
stone lake. The authorities endeayored
to keep the matter from the public, but
the news was brought out by campers.
The authorities say the man and boy
were teasing the bears and were to
blame. but the campers tell a different
story, as follows:
One day the door Of the meat house
at the hotel was left open and the man
and boy were sent to close it. When
they reached the small building they
heard n commotion inside. Before they
could escape the were attacked by two
huge cinnamon bears. The boy was
killed instantly and the man go badly
injured he died.
The park officials are alleged to have
done much to cover up the details or
the affair and have left the impression
that death did not occur. They now
admit that the two men were killed.
but say they were to blame.
The time is not far distant when It
will be impossible for the poorer class
Of people to visit the Yellowstone park
owing to the constantly increasing
number of bears. Many parties en-
route home from visit to the park say
that the journey through the wonder
land was most dangerous.
1t is alleged that the park transport
alton company and the hotel proprie-
tors are doing everything possible to
discourage campers and private con-
veyances from making the trip.
The bears have become so numerous
and bold that even the park guards are
frequently compelled to shoot the
beasts to save their own lives.
Recently freighter from Gardner in
passing through the park was attacked
by bears and he shot one of them. A
mounted police Immediately placed,
the freighter under arrest, despite
the fact that the bear climbed onto
the wagon. The major in command re-
leased the freighter.
A formal protest will be made to
President Roosevelt, who will be asked
to decrease the number Of bears in the
park, have them confined in an in
closure. or make arrangements for the
better protection OF tourists.

SAFEST FOOD

In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts.
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre-digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape-Nuts, for the reason that this
food Is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman who
used it says
Some time ago l was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
l would die, even myself 1t left me
so weak l could not properly digest
food of any kind and | also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
Il needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until | finally tried Grape

not only supplied food that | thought
delicious as could be. but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again
