Nineveh, the mistress of witchcrafts

they shall run like llghtnings." A varl.

BRAVE WOMAN KILLS BIG
BEAR IN EXCITING HUNT
Follows Animal Through Thick Brush
and Finally Succeeds in Ending
His Life.

Tilamook, Ore.-Mrs. M. ]. Cone,
who lives with her husband at Netarts,
Ore, and who rents the Maxwell place
at Netarts Beach, showed that she
was a woman of courage and pluck in
an exciting bear hunt. She was re-
turning home from the Maxwell place
alone on horseback and suddenly
came across a large bear in her way.
Mrs. Cone drove her horse at full
speed to her home and, obtaining a
Winchester and shepherd dog, re-
turned to the place where she had
seen the bear. The beast was soon To-
Gated at the sheep corral, and, getting
within close range of the bear. she
fired her first shot. which broke the
bears fore leg The wounded beast
made off on three legs.
Mrs. Cone followed 1T up and fired
again at close range, the bullet strik-
ing the bear in the nose and coming
out at the side of the head. For some
time the bear wallowed around, with
Mrs. Cone and the dog after it, when
1t dashed off into the thick brush
This did not daunt Mrs. Gone in the
least, for she followed as fast as her
clothes would permit. some of which
she threw of SO as not to impede her
progress.
Every once in while she came up
with the bear and did not miss an op-
portunity to fire. For over a mile she
chased her quarry in the thick brush
and succeeded in hitting the animal
four times. The dog, nipping at the
bears heels, forced him to take to a
log, where a desperate fight occurred
between the two animals. The bear
kept tanning the dog off with its paw.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-11-22

tacking the dog, the bear caught it by
the mouth and broke its under jaw.
Mrs. Cone saw that something had
to be done Immediately, with the dog
under the bear and likely to be killed.
so she approached with her gun while
the fight was going On and placed the
muzzle at the back or the bear and
fired. This shot ended the battle.
Mrs. Cone retraced her steps out
ct the brush and told her husband and
others what had occurred. Out Of
nine shots fired seven had taken ef
feet. TIE bear was large one and
when Grsssed it weighed 337 pounds

Miss Edith is a graduate of the
Atchison high school, and she was IS
years old when she fell in love with
Haller. There really wasn't anything
the matter with Haller. He may have
been bit wild and a bit reckless, and
possibly he did not show due and
proper respect for the parents of the
girl he had selected for his bride. All
of these things Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond
set up as indictments against him.
Miss Edith was a member of the IA
nous Beau Not Club-until she fell
in love with Haller.
The girls parents strenuously op-
posed the match, and Haller pressed
his suit quite as strenuously. Miss
Raymond was determined to wed the
man of her choice, and her parents
were quite as determined that she
should not
Early in September the young cou-
pie decided that to gain the consent
of the parents to their wedding was
impossible, SO they agreed to be mar

Haller prepared a home for his bride.
He made arrangements, secured his
license, and the priest was waiting
The problem that then presented
itself was one of getting his bride
away from her parents. He engaged

Jim, who, despite his color and his
lack of wings, agreed to play Cupid

LITTLE BASIS FOR BELIEF THAT
DAY is A HooDoo.
Some Of the Most Momentous Events
In the History of the World Have
Occurred on That Day-A
Few Instances.

OF all the days of the week, Friday
is the hoodoo; there is no suIersti-
ton that is more prevalent than that
which ascribes i'll luck to all under
takings which are inaugurated upon
tnat day of the week. Primarily this
superstition has its origin in the fact
that the crucitixion occurred on FRI
day, and those who are thoroughly
welded to the belief assert that Eve
and Adam ate the apple one Friday
afternoon, so great is the burden that
Friday must bear. 1t is a singular CO.
incidence that the Buddhists and the
Brahmins hold the identical distrust
of Friday that the superstitious
among us maintain. The fact that 1t
is hangman's day is rather the re-
suit of the superstition than one of
its causes.
or all the nations of the Christian
world. the Scotch alone have fond
ness for Friday; with them the day is
the favorite one of. the week for we'd
dings, but this is only another in
stance of the contrariness of the peo-
pie of the land of the heather. A die
tionary of dates, recently published.
presents some arguments in favor of
Friday which show that the Scotch
people are warranted in their affec-
tion for the day that is elsewhere re-
garded with suspicion. Among the In
cidents that directly affect us as a
nation, many of the more important
have occurred on Friday.
Columbus, according to his author
ity, discovered America on Friday; by
the same authority the Pilgrim Fa-
thers landed on the Massachusetts
coast one Friday morning; George
Washington was born on Friday: the
baltic of Bunker Hills was fought on
Friday, and SO was the battle of
New Orleans; the capture of Rich
mond, which marked an important
epoch in our late history, occurred
upon this supposedly luckless day.
In European history the day has
been no less important. The birth of
Queen Victoria occurred on Friday /;
Shakespeare was also born upon this
day; the Bastile fell one Friday morn
ing; the execution of Charles /. was
on Friday; the battle of Morengo was
fought on Friday and the burning of
Moscow. which turned the tide OF
conquest against Napoleon, occurred
on Friday as well.
The adherents of the Friday super
stition will argue that, while these
events mark important steps in his
tory, and while they brought good
luck to some people, they were ex.
ceedingly unfortunate for others
While the burning of Moscow, for In
stance. was instrumental in quietine
Europe, 1t was a stroke of the worst
kind of luck for Napoleon. But while
it is true that each of the incidents
mentioned were unfortunate for some
body or other, it is also true that each
brought about results that are for the
general good. 1t was rough on King
Charles that he was killed, but his
death was decidedly an event that
furthered the cause of liberty. All In
all, it seems that Friday has a reputa.
ton that it does not deserve.-Ana.
