TOO MANY BEARS

Man and Boy Killed at Yellowstone

Man and Boy Killed at Yellowstone
Lake Hotei.-campers and Private
conveyances in Danger.
A Cody, Wyoming, dispatch says that
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 the
employ of the Lake hotel, on Yellow
stone lake. The authorities endeavored
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 We're to
blame, but the campers tell 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 a commotion inside. Before they
could escape the were attacked by two
huge cinnamon bears. The boy was
killed instantly and the man so badly
injured he died.
The park officials are alleged to have
done much to cover up the details OF
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.

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, OF make arrangements for the
better protection of tourists.

The official veil was lifted to-day from
the CHASTITY tragedy around Shakhe.
but even the official account, supple
mented by numerous press dispatches,
leaves much uncertainty as to the sit

of information at hand it is possible
only to conclude that the costly with
drawal and retreat from Lao Yang is
being duplicated on an even grander
scale, after more desperate fighting and
heavier losses.

the Russians still tenaciously holding

the correspondents also have been Or

the retreat will not even stop at Tie

All hopes of the world-heralded ad-

even worse than during the retreat

Against Changing Divorce Canon.

Boston. Oct. 16.-The house OF
deputies of the Episcopal general con-
vention at the close of four days de-
bate, rejected an amendment to the
divorce canon, which amendment
sought to prevent the remarriage of
divorced persons by clergymen of the
denomination. While the house of
bishops may yet act on the matter, it
is certain that no change will be made
by the present convention.
The present law of the church.
which has been in operation since
1858. allows the remarriage of the in
nocent party to divorce granted for
infidelity.

Agricultural Education A Landmark.

We print in this number a photograph of the
Agricultural building of the North Carolina Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts at Raleigh.
1t is an impressive structure, great, modern, beau
tiful. We attach great Importance to it, however,
because it stands for a great piece of news, mark
ing a turning point in North Carolina life: It reg
listers the choice of the Commonwealth. It was
proposed ten years ago that we should become an
Industrial Commonwealth. The prosperity of the
factories carried us all in that direction. But for
five years now the tide has been running toward
the farm. The country school, the country home
and the country church have made more improve
ment than the cities and towns. The young men
are going back to the farm. This building means
that they shall go back with better knowledge of
that greatest of ~callings, more skillful, stronger
to achieve and worthier of the work of making a
great Rural Commonwealth.
We feel that the hour is appropriate for recog-
nizing four men who have had a hand in bringing
forth this building: Governor Aycock, Clarence 81.

We hope that the announcement of the Teach
ers' Reading Course, as published in last weeks
Progressive Farmer, was brought to the attention
of every rural public school teacher of reading
as a means of self-culture and intellectual broad
ening can hardly be overestimated, and the cost
is remarkably small-only So for the ten paper
bound books and a years subscription to The
Progressive Farmer, in which the subjects are to
be discussed and the general course directed by
the Secretary, Miss Ada Womble. This movement
was inaugurated by the Wake County Woman's
Association for the Improvement of Schools, and
is endorsed by Superintendent J. Y. Joyner. Of
course we are glad that The Progressive Farmer
was chosen as the medium through which to reach
the teachers.
Every teacher who wishes to join the course
should Immediately forward his or her order to
Miss Ada Womble, Secretary, Raleigh, N. c., who
will also be glad to give any information, that may
be desired regarding the project. Already books
have been ordered for between 100 and 200 mem
bers, and the first of the series of articles will
appear in next weeks paper.
Instead of paying the So in cash, any teacher so
desiring may get the course absolutely free by
sending Sc in new subscriptions to The Progress
sive Farmer at our regular rates (see page 16);
or So in new subscriptions and ST additional will
pay for the course. Prompt action is very essen
tial.

age plants, may be made which will add to the
beauty of the place.
A few walks should be laid out also; but let
them be few. One broad walk from gate to front
door and a narrow one leading around to the
rear of the house is generally sufficient. If a
driveway is necessary let it be as artistically laid
out as the walks. Do not cut up your lawn with
walks and roadways any more than is absolutely
necessary for convenience. Too many of them
spoil the effect. 4
Curved walks are far more pleasing to the
eye and foot than straight angular ones. Nature
has few angles and many beautiful curves.
A beautiful lawn is possible to every farm, and
flowers may be as abundant as the birds in the
trees. O. W. BURKETT.

There were flowers in the garden of Eden,
planted by the Creator, for man to care for and
keep. Man may have homes without flowers and
still be refined and happy-possibly. But the les
son Eden teaches is not suggestive of this.
The fowerless home is not the ideal home de-
signed by the Almighty-assuredly not the hap
piest home.
Flowers enhance the value of the farm by add
in to it's beauty; for however much men may
ridicule the idea, it's no less a fact that the
large majority of mankind is influenced more
or less by beauty in their business transactions.
If a man is about to buy a farm, he will pass
by the place where the house is implanted, with
no fence enclosing the grounds, and weeds and
rubbish occupying the front yard, to where the
house shows evidence of taste, the grounds clean
and free from weeds, with vines twining about
the door and windows and the yard frightened
by shrubbery and flowers, although he may know
the former place will produce more and better
crops than the latter.
The garden or dwelling place is not complete
without a lawn. The space in front and upon one
side of the house at least should be devoted to
grass. Evergreens and other shade trees may be
set at irregular, natural intervals in the lawn.
If the lawn be extensive, beds of flowers, or foil

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Truth is our element of life, yet if a man fasten
his attention on a single aspect of truth, and
apply himself to that alone for a long time, the
truth becomes distorted and not itself, but false
hood; herein resembling the air, which is our
natural element, and the breath of our ~nostrils,
but if a stream of the same be directed on the
body for a time, it causes cold, fever, and even
death. How wearisome the grammarian, the
pherenologist, the political or religious fanatic,
or indeed any possessed mortal, whose balance is
lost by the exaggeration of a single topic
