LEARN TO DANCE.

like as those of a telegraph pole, and compare her with fascinating being who is the embodiment of perfect har- mony of movement, whose trailing skirts never become tangled with her slippers, who rises like cloud, moves with the delicacy of a flower in the wind, and whose every pose is perfec- ton and elegance. What is your thought then? That the two women can scarcely belong to the same sex.
 There is nothing that takes away the beautiful womanly charm, like a plodding. stopped, awkward carriage, and for this affliction there Is abso- lutely no excuse unless the victim is in state of i'll health or has reached the 100 mark age While dancing and physical culture may not be within the possibilities there is always within the woman herself fair chance of correcting such hideously unbecom- ing habit With the head erect and back. the chest up high and the hips back, she will have the regal pose of a self-respecting soul.

FLAG FREMONT UNFURLED.
Historic Banner Is Carefully Pre- ] served in California
 Town.

Locked up in the vault of one of the banks of Bedding, Cal, is a flag that is second in historic importance to Cali ! fornians only to the Bear flag that ia so jealously guarded by Pacific coast pioneers, says the Seattle Times.
 The flag referred to is the one that Gen. Fremont unfurled from the sum nit of the Rocky mountains in 1S41, when he and his small party were on their way to California before the Mexican war. ''-l "
 The banner Is the property of P. M. Reardon, managing director of the Bully Hill mine at Delamar. It was given to him a few years ago by Mrs. Fremont herself. It was made by her own hands on the eve of her husband s psthfinding expedition to the vest
 ! The flag differs from the ordinary emblem only in the field, on which IS wrought large American eagle, done in embroidery of great delicacy and beauty About the eagle are clustered the 26 stars that in 1s41 represented the states in the union. On the reverse side of the flag is pinned silk scarf bearing the inscription in golden let. ters: Rocky Mountains. 1s41." The banner is in fairly good state of pres ervation. considering it's age.

OCTOBER ELK HUNT|
WITH "A HUNTING PARTY IN
 BLUE MOUNTAIN FOREST.
Call of the Great stag-The Band of Does File Across the Grass Story of Hunter and
 Hunted.

Personally, never hunt; my sym pathies are all with the hunted, and I prefer to put my energies into the protection of game rather than into the destruction of it. Nevertheless. that I may be able to speak intelli- gently on this subject, and as much from personal experience as possible. I frequently accompany hunters in their trips afield Thus it was that yesterday I accepted an invitation from 8 hunting party to witness an elk hunt in the Blue mountain forest.
 After the first greetings we sat in silence. None knew where the king might be- it was known only that he had selected the territory hereabouts as his domain, and that, if we were quiet, his shrill bugle note might be- tray him. And it did. From far away on the hills came the call, so faint that but one member of the party heard it. The hunters took their rifles, and, following the guide, filed down into the valley, from the opposite side of which the faint whistle had come. At the bottom of the valley there was 8 long, level stretch of grass land. and across this the guide had figured that the elk would come. From time to time the great stag called, and each time the sound grew louder as the distance between us grew shorter. The guide thought he knew the point at which the band would cross the open, and near this point we hid low among the dark spruces. We had not waited

THE GRACEFUL WOMAN.
Necessary to Have Rhythm of Move rnent--The Dance Earnestly Rec-
 commended for Obtaining Grace.

It is not enough that a woman. should be well and strong; to be charming and beautiful she must have rythm of movement, says Mime. Qui Vive, in the Chicago Record Herald, must know how to walk about, how to stand, how to move with elegance and harmonious boise.
 Dancing teaches grace and elegance and develops these finer physical quail ities, as, athletic exercise develops the physique and tones the muscular for- nations. It is the finishing touch.
 The most awkward and ungalnly woman can be transformed into de- lightfully lovely creature-if she has the brain power to absorb the ideas of her dancing master and to follow his instructions. Bring to your mind the mental pictures of flgureless wo- man whose poses are about as sylph-

long when a COW elk stepped out from the woodland and moved across the grass, but at point much farther away from us than the guide had fig ured on. Evidently the band had changed It's direction while still in the woods, and the distance was con- sidered too great to risk shot at. the stag when he should appear. Hiwould be necessafyu to wait flor daa ~better chance. One by one the does filed across the stretch of grass, and then, when the last had gone. we heard the challenge of the bull, and immediately he strode into the open. What a won- derful creature he was! There was a suppressed "Ah!" from every member of the hunting party, for they were watching him through their field glass es, and prepared as they were for his grandeur. he surprised them.
 When they had gone we arose and the guide led us back into the woods | with rapid, noiseless steps. He knew the particular feeding ground the elk would be most likely to visit first. and. making a wide detour, we fol lowed him toward another stretch of grass land, we'll up on much higher ground. and perhaps two miles to the southward. The wind vas in our ia vor. or the work of approaching the herd would have been much more diff hcult. As it was. we hurried along, just keeping bright lookout for a possible stray COW elk, who. if she should see us or get our wind. would bark and thus gave the alarm.
 "Crashi" the wind had changed, and like a chafge of cavalry the herd of elk broke away across the open, and plunged through the fringe of trees and underbrush by which they were surrounded. Now, thought. the bull will get away. but crouching low, saw him standing near a spruce tree, calmly watching the departure of the cows. One by one they passed him. but not a step would he take until the last of his band had gone.
 Crack" went the gun of the hunt CT. and hugged myself as I saw that he had missed it clean. The great stag wheeled half around. as if he would have faced his sKulking foe, and as he turned he swung those glorious antlers which in open fight would have brought him victory over a score of such puny foes as men. Then. with head erect, and striding with a dignity which 10 man could approach. he started to follow his band.
