President Gets Two Bears.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Colo, April
24.-President Koosevelt's hunting
trip has been crowned with success
far beyond his expectations, or those
of the most sanguine of his guides.
Three bears were killed by the party
today and two yesterday, one by the
president and one by DR.. Lambert.
P. B. Stewart, of Colorado Springs,
one of the presidents hunting com.
panions, arrived here today, accom-.
panied by Courier Chapman. They
brought the story of the hunt. The
killing of the three bears was tele-
phoned to them and they understood
that President Roosevelt brought
down two of them, but the details arc
lacking.
The party is almost snow-bound in
its present location, and no attempt
will be made to cross the divide.
Fifteen feet of snow is on the other
side, and an effort to reach Redstone
would be fruitless. The hunters are
satisfied, however, for they have
reached the center of what the guides
say is the best bear country in Colo

TIRED OF BEAR MEAT.
President aud His Hunting Party Hungry
For News and Provisions.

New CASTLE, Colo, April 2e.-Af-
YER a ffty-mile chase yesterday IN
which three bears we're killed. and a
forty mile chase the day before IN
which two bears we're slain, President
Roosevelt aud party are today resting
in their almost snowbound camp in
the Rockies. They are 20 miles from
here awaiting the arrival of Secretary
Loeb, with q number of documents for
the presidents signature, daily pa.
pers. plans for the return trip, con-
gratu) atoms that have been wired con.
corning the successful trip, and last,
but not least, some fresh meat. OF
the latter there has been almost none
in camp save bear steaks for some
time.
Secretary Loeb found the president
reading, and several others of the
hunters were telling stories when he
reached the camp on East Divide
creek. Mr.. Roosevelt questioned the
secretary regarding the happenings Of
the past few days, %preferring to &c.
his news in this manner rather than
by reading the big bundle of news
papers taken to the camp by Courier
Chapman.

ers' association, which, has shouldered
the strike of the teamsters originally
called against Montgomery Ward Il
Co., definitely declared war today
against the Transfers union.

disruption and coercion in its labor
as has Chicago, and adds:
"We are determined that the evil
shall be rooted out. Five hundred of
the leading business menIof the city,
with unexampled ~fervor, unanimously
and with determin alton, have resolved
to stand together, and for that pur'
pose have provided the necessary

Big Floods In Colorado.

TRINIDAD, Colo, April rs. - The
Las Animas river reached its highest
mark here at 6 o'clock tonight. AT
that hour the south approach to the
Rio Granle railroad bridge dropped
into the river. Railroad rails were
thrown into the river to keep the
wrecked portion Of the bridge from
washing away but the force of the
flood is so strong that it may be
washed away any minute.
The river is gradually washing
away the new Santa Fe ill despite
the fact that hundreds of men r at
work dumping tra!nloads of rock into
the river bed in order to change the
channel. A temporary water supply
was furnished for the business por.
ton of the city by laying a water
main across the Rio Grande river
bridge,

Must Promise Not to Marry.

HURON, S. D., April 26. - The
county school commissioners have
determined to require q pledge from
all women school teachers that they
will not marry for at least two years
after coming to this county. So great
is the dearth of young women in this
county that the school authorities
have been unable to keep their teach
ers for more than two or three months
before they marry and resign. The
few resident girls have also taken 9
hand in the case, and have served
notice on the young men that they
must pay no attention to nonresident
girls on pain of being %boycotted.

a Ganary'S Song.
by Walter Browne

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" Only
the feeble cry of a canary bird is
heard in that miserable little attic
at the top of a furnished room
house in the most squalid section
of a great city.
The little tufted yellow head
can surely hold only tiny and I'M
reasonable thoughts, and yet, if
one could have read Alright that
plaintive "chirp! chirp! chirp!
this is the story it had to tell:
Come! come! come to me,
sweet mistress. Oh why have
they covered me up? How can I
sing to you when the light of day
is hidden by this winding sheet
about my cage? Naught but the
husks of seeds are scattered on
the unchanged sand. The water
font is dry. l have not seen the
sunlight for four long days. How
can sing? Oh! sweet mistress,
why have you forgotten me?
Have you forgotten the days
when in the proud plumage of
my youth, l sang my earliest
songs to you, melted by the invi-
tation of your prettily pursed
lips? How often together we re-
joiced, you in the fresh glow of
girlhood, caroling some simple
song, and l, with swelling throat,
striving to outsing you. All!
Those were glorious days. From
the gladness of our hearts we
sang together then.
What was the songI sang you
then? Will it not call you back
to me? Listen! l will try.
''Trill! Tr-r-r-r-ll. JOY! Jov!
Joy! Sweet! Sweet sweet!
Tr-r-r-ril!
How can l sing? My song
sounds like the ghost of buried
happiness, in an effort to escape,
awaking the echoes Of it's tomb.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Oh, mis-
tress, mine,- will you never
come?
You came and gave me light
and love once more, when, after
that terrible time Of dismal dark
ness, and the din of travel, which
came near terrifying me to death,
the covering was taken from my
cage and we found ourselves in
the noisy city. How | fluttered
with alright when, even with
your own gentle hands, you took
me from my old cage and put me
in this home Of gilt and colored

Birds are simply reptiles which h;

Birds are simply reptiles which have
shed their scales and teeth, grown
Wings and feathers and invaded the
dominion of air. The very oldest bird
of which science has any record had
very sharp teeth, rather weak wings
and long tail adorned with twenty
pairs of quill feathers. Some of these
birds were not able to fly at all, and
they nearly all lived on fish. Gradually
as they developed through centuries
they grow more feathers, longer and
stronger wings, loaf their teeth and
got long hard bills instead. There were
no birds before the reptillian age, and
every bird that flies to-day traces tits
ancestry back to sharp toothed snake.
So the old joke, AS long ago as when
hens had teeth" is not so much a joke
after all.

Today, when it is so cold one is almost
Indifferent as to how she looks, it seems
strange to give advice about how a girl
should make her toilet. And yet spring
is bound to come, however little such a
thought can be realized with the Their
mometer near zero. Even now the
shops are showing pretty goods for
spring shirt waist suits and so these
thoughts about clothes are not de trop
after all,
To get into ones clothes is an art,
To stay in is still greater art. To
become efficient in these arts, practice
the following:
Dress slowly.
Use plenty of safety pins, as near
the color of the gown as possible; let
them vary in size.
When the blouse is adjusted, pin
down in front, at each side of the back,
and on each side of the front if neces-
sary.
Pin the skirt, after hooking it, firmly
to the waist on each side of the back.
When the belt is put on take time to
see that the band of the skirt is cover
ed. Pin it, if necessary, but this is
not necessary if the belt is not too
tight.
In putting on the ribbon, collar or
whatever may be designed for the neck,
pin the ribbon firmly down in the back
with fancy gold safety pin. Pin it
again in front, and if necessary use the
tiny, neat little safety pins around on
the sides.
Be sure that the skirt is hooked up
the back and that the bodice cannot
become unlocked or unbuttoned at the
front.
1t pays to take little more time and
to use few more safety pins, and to
have each garment stay where it is fas-
tened.

The grand jury of the January term
of the Boyle Circuit Court returned
about forty indictments against the

of "selling uninsbected oil''and "ped-
ping oil without license" The cases
were continued to the April term.
Complaint has been heard of late on &C
count of poor oil, which many residents
of the city claim the company has been
selling in Danville, and the result of an
investigation bv the recent grand jury
was that the company was indicted for
this offense and also for peddling the
product without license. With seven
or eight indictments against the L & N

Too many of us fall into the
mistake of thinking that beauty
is necessarily expensive. It is
not so. Beauty is cheap in the
sense that it is to be had for the
talking. We need not go without
beautiful trees and shrubs and

with which to buy them from
growers. The nurseryman has
not the monopoly of all that is
desirable in this respect. Go into
