GRIZZLY BEARS AND PANTHERs
Afraid of Man, Says Wyoming Hunter;
Dangerous Only When Attacked.

..H 0''J ~ TSkaSNSds
Louisville Herald: I'm the noun
tains Of Wyoming, where I have hunt
ed for years, you can find most any
kind Of savage animal that you get in
America except alligators. Grizzlies,
black bears and mountain lions are
commonly killed there" says Hugh
Sniverly, Of Sheridan, Wyo. Some of
the men that come out there to hunt
think that If they stir 100 yards away
from camp they must be armed to the
teeth for fear Of being attacked by q
bear or a painter and killed. There's
a heap more danger of getting killed
on account of leaving your gun at
home when you go down Market street.
street in a big city, but it Is dead sure
that a bear or a mountain lion will
never attack o unless you drive him
to 1t.
I've hunted through the best dis
tricts for big game in this country, and
I've seen a good many grizzlies, but
I've never seen one Of them go after
a man unless he was cornered or
wounded. If you run into a grizzly
bear in a lonely place you'll hear a
grunt, something like that of a NAM
moth hog, and then there will be a
mighty crashing Of underbrush as he
makes off in the opposite direction as
fast as he can go. All you can gener-
ally see Of a mountain lion is a tawny
streak as he makes off at incredible
speed. If he has any intention of 60
ing after you it must be his intention
to go around the world and catch YOU
In the rear, for If you are STANDING
to the east Of him he is sure to go due
west.
Mountain lions in the winter time
Will follow sleighs at a distance, wall
Ing as they go, but there is nothing
In that to inspire terror, for l don't
think they have ever Deer known to
close In on anybody. Their terror of
m beings is the thing which makes
them hard to shoot. In all the time
that | have been in the mountains
have never heard of anyone being at
tackled by a wild animal that had been
left strictly alone. But I've known
men to be killed even by deer when
the brute was driven to desperation.
Grizzlies are the best game in the
world. When you nee get their dan
der up they are savage fighters, and
the hunters life Is in danger every
minute unless he is a good shot and
has a steady nerve. If you ever get
within reach Of the grizzly's paw you
are a dead one. These stories of men
killing them with knives in hand to
hand fights are about as. reasonable
as 1T would be to talk OF stopping a
locomotive by getting in the way of the
train. If the big fellow gets the
chance to deliver one blow It is all
over. There was a grizzly up our way
that the cowboys called Big Benz who
killed about n hundred and fifty
steers before he was finally shot. He
would break a steers neck at one blow,
and then he would lift him up and
carry him off to a secluded place,
Grizzlies look awkward, but they are
mighty light on their feet, and they
can beat any man in a foot race"

THE OLDEST LIVING THING.
Said to Be a Huge Cypress Tree $3.50
Years Old.

Said to Be a Huge Cypress Tree $3.50
Years Old.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The state
ment recently made that there are yews
in England which are the Oldest living
things on EARTH" Mr.. Thomas c.. ireland
said, lis not correct.
These yews.a are old, very old; there IS
no doubt about that; some of them were
stalwart trees even bafore Caesar landed
on these shores. There ts one now stand
ing IN the churchyard at Fortingal, in
Perthshtre, Which Decandole, nearly a
century ago. proved to the satisfaction of
botanists to be over twenty-five centuries
old, and another at Hedsor, In Buclas,
which is $40 years old. How Decandole
arrived at an apparently correct estimate
of the enormous age of these living trees
is a simple thing, and the principle is
doubtless known today to all. The yew,
like most trees, adds one line about the
tenth on an inch, to its circumference each
year. He proved this after an investiga-
ton extending over several years, and we
know now a hundred years later, that his
deductions We're correct. The old yew at
Hedsor has a run twenty-seven feet In
diameter, proving it's great age, and it
is in a fiourishing, healthy condition now.
like its brother at Portugal.
Their years are few, though, compared
with those of the trees / had in mind when
l made my first assertion that the state
ment printed about them in a scientific
journal was incorrect. In one chapter of
his writings Humboldt refers to a gigan-
tic boabab tree in central Africa, as the
oldest organic in the world.
This tree has a trunk twenty-nine feet In
diameter, and Adanson, by a series OF
careful measurements, demonstrated con-
ciusively that it had lived for not less
than $3.50 years.
Still 1t is not the Oldest organic monu
ment in the world, as Humboldt declared
for now Mexican scientists have proved
that a huge cypress tree, standing III
Chepultepec, with a trunk lis feet anG
ten inches in circumference, is older thar
it-older, too, by more than a thousand
years-for it had been shown, as con.
clusively as these things can be shown
that its age is about G,26O years. To be,
come impressed with wonder over this
one has only to dwell on that duration
for a little while in thought.
Yet 1t is not SO remarkable when ont
stops for a moment to remember that
given favorable conditions for its growth
and sustenance, the average tree will never
die of old age-its death is merely an ac,
cident. Other younger and more vigorous
trees may spring up near it. and perhap.
rob its roots of their proper nourishment
insects may kill 1t, floods or winds ma,
sweep it away, or its roots may come il
contact with rock and become SO gnarlet
and twisted, because they have not room

orally throttle the avenues Of its susten
ance; but these are accidents. If sucl
things dc not happen a tree may live or
for century after century, still robust, still

MR.. BAYssON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now

Miseries of Indigestion.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de.
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be.
cause their food does notdigest, but how
to getrid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs. and strength from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason MI. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one When dis.
comfort begins with eating, fills up tho
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2439 Larllin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain OF
burning i'll the stomach, vertigo, ner.
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of q dyspeptic, get rid of the
WEAKNESS Of the digestive organs by the
use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to the
DR.. Wiij'ams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. tbs valuable diet book contains
an i.Enortant chapter Oh the simplest
means for tho n Of constipation.

grand American handicap. Thousands
of expert shots from all over the Unit
ed States We're eligible to this contest
and Barber did not win without a live
ly contest.
Not only did this man make the
highest score this year but it was the
best that has been made in the history
OF the Grand American handicap. Mr..
Barher's score was 80, last year the
winner made out Sc and in previous
years the score was "a, "a, 95, and 81
respectively.
BY winning first in the handicap, Mr..
Barber received $4,000 in cash, a $500
shot gun and two silver cups. When
he arrived at his home in Paullina he
was greeted by the Germantown brass
band and a delegation of citizens head
ed by Mayor B. j.. Maytu1n. He was
carried away to his home on the
shoulders Of his friends.
An interesting feature of the contest
at Indianapolis was hat just before
the tourney opened, Barber notched a
four-leaf clover on the top Of his gun.
When the last target was broken, he
lowered his gun and showed the symbol
of luck to the other contestants.
Mr.. Barber won the Interstate cham
pionship trophy at the 500 Gun club
tourney at Sioux City two years ago
and last month made a high amateur
score at hat clubs tourney. He has
not shot regularly, engaging in tour
neys only when he had time to spare.
