The Ainu bear hunter can put to
shame the best modern sportsman,
who considers a hundred yards off,
with his Winchester, a safe distance
for q shot for such an animal, says the
New York Tribune. The Ainu method
is thrilling and dangerous. The bears
spend their winters in caves and holes.
Long poles are pushed inside, and IL
one comes out he falls IN easy victim
to the poisoned arrow; often they are
smoked out. When Bruih is first shot
being full Of pain, he is savage, ant
f~uriously attacks his enemy. Being
now at close quarters, the Ainu dis
cards his bow and arrow and prepares
to make a final onslaught upon thu
creature. The wounded and enraget
beast rises upright on his launches
ready to pounce upon his assailant
The Ainu hunter watches his chaneI
to make the fatal thrust. At the RICH
time he rushes point blank into thu
animals embrace and plhnges hi
knife into his body, but does not al
ways escape without a reminder OF hi
encounter. He Is sure to get severed,
scratched, frequently scalped, AM
sometimes killed.

MATRIMONIAL.
Blair-GilIen.

Wallace H. Blair and Lulu A. Gillen
were united In marriage at a o'clock
Sunday afternoon, Elder G.. w. Blair, of
Kellerton, officiating. The ceremony
was performed in the presence of the
two interested families only, in the
beautiful new home of the bride and
groom on Tenth street, recently builded
and furnished for their immediate oc-
cupancy.
After the ceremony the small party
were seated to the repast prepared by
the bride herself, which repast, though
liberal, soon looked small indeed. And
if one may safely Judge from the spread,
Wallace will have no cause for com
plant as regards his young wife's
proficiency in the culinary art.
An enumeration of the attributes of
either bride or groom would be super
fiuous. Both have been known to La
moni and vicinity since infancy, and
are known as Industrious and deserving
young people. Both are employees of
the Herald Publishing House, in which
employ they will remain for the present
at least.

munity extends congratulations and the
best of wishes.-Lamonii Chronicle.
