DARING WORK BY JAPANEsE

A recent occurrence in British Colum-
bia furnishes a striking instance Of the
daring and dexterity Of Japs. A party
Of eight were at work in the woods
cutting shingle bolts when one noticed
the eyes OF some animal glittering in a
dark hole in a hollow tree. The Japs
rugged up a cage in front OF the hole,
and then proceeded to smoke the ami
neal out In few minutes a she-bear
leaped from the hole. only to find her
self a prisoner in the cage AT once
tie Japs began to dance around the
cage utteIing shouts OF joy.
A minute later a male bear. wlf5se
presence they had not suspected
tumbled out Of the hole and charged
them. They ran for a short distance
ard then one, a nan named Nishimito
stopped and with one bound was on ihe
back Of the monster. He was able to
hold the animal until his comrades re-
turned, and then all eight threw thein-
selves upon bruin. bearing him to the
ground by sheers force Of Aumbers. A
lively serimmage followed, while one
OF the Japs hurried for 4 rope. He re-
turned to lind the bear utterly exhaust
ed, ard in short time the Japs had
both animals securely trussed up. after
which they hauled them into camp.
All eight were scratched from head
to foot and had their clothing badly
torn. but received no serious wounds
1t is likely that the Vancouver zoo viii
soon be richer by two bears as result
Of the daring exploit This is the first
time in British Columbia that full-siaed
fears have been captured alive without
the use Of traps or firearms.

LAssoED MEN FROM DEAIn.

clever use Of the lasso, rescued two
young men. Frank Hammitt and Harry

Some Pointers on Trees

The big wind that passed over the
twin cities recently taught much
about what trees to plant for perma-
nent shade and other effects. One
might easily have expected the softer
varieties OF wood to break first, but
would hardly be prepared to see the
ease with which box elders and soft
naples are uprooted. When it is let
alone the former likes to branch near
the ground, and 1t can be seen on
the prairie more ike a gigantic bush
than like a tree. This habit OF growth
would not call for any great spread
OF roots except in capturing nourish-
ment, an operation In which the tree

Preservation of Living Timber.

The vice president has laid before
the senate a draft of the proposed
amendment to the Indian appropria-
ton bill which has as it's purpose the
preservation of living and growing
timber on the ten sections of land in
the former Chippewa Indian reserva-
ton. The suggestion is made that
the secretary of the interior may sell
the down timber, both merchantable
and understandable, the latter to be
sold as cord wood, as we'll as hay on
the meadow lands. There is said to
be SO, 500 feet of dead and down white
pine and $4,000 feet of Norway pine
on the tract. Prior to the sale the
timber to be sold shall be suitably
designated by the superintendent of
logging. Payment for the timber and
hay shall be made to the Indian agent
at Leech Lake and the money arising
therefrom shall be placed in the
United States treasury to the credit of
all the Chippewa Indians in Mime

is designed to utilize the enormous

Hitherto when the mains were used
the pressure was SO great that it took

The cannon are controlled by levers

Tor improving the conditions now sur

declares that the general prin-
ciples of the naturalization law are
correct, but recommends that no one
be admitted to citizenship who does
not intend to reside permanently in
the United States, and that no one
be admitted who does not know the

Apple Cure for Drunkenness.

For ten years. said a physician,
II have advocated apples as a cure
for drunkenness. In that time I have
tried the apple cure on some forty or
fifty drunkards, and my success has
been most gratifying.
Let any man afflicted with the love
OF drink eat three or more apples daily
and the horrible craving will grad
ually leave him. The cure will be
greatly helped along if he also smokes
as little as possible.
II know a woman who cured
drunken husband without his knowl-
edge by keeping always a plentiful
supply of good apples on the dining
table. The man ate these apples, and
finally stopped drinking altogether. y
