HUNTERS NARROW ESCAPE.

Thomas Kerr had an exciting experi- ence with large bear few days ago. In company with Robert Keatley and others he went hunting in Humphrey Mountain After travelling about for some time and finding nothing Kerr's companions became disgusted and went home, but Kerr kept up his quest and soon, with the aid of his dogs, jumped up a very large one.
 Kerr fired two shots at the beast both of which took effect, and knocked the bear down. Thinking the animal was dead, the hunter rushed up to take possession of his prize, when Bruin jumped up and made a grab for him. Man and beast rolled over and over on the hillside, Kerr dropped his gun in the melee.
 Breaking loose from the bear, Kerr managed to recover his gun and tried to shoot again, but found that the weapon was empty. The bear again gave chase, despite the dogs worry ing. and soon overlook Kerr and caught hl n by the leg of his overalls Kerr in soma manner freed himself, and the bear ran little distance down the hill, pursued by the dog.
 The hunter quietly loaded his gun ard when the bear turned on him again killed it-Catt'o Rock corres- rondcnce Portland Oregonian.

 I arrived that night just in time to go to bed, and was so tired that I fell asleep as my head touched the pillow I probably slept a couple of hours when I woke with queer feeling in my back. The bed was hard, unde- niably hard.
 T wondered what manner of springs this much valanced bed might have. l jumped up, lifted the valance, and to my amazement there was an old-fash- toned tin bathtub! The mattress was fastened to a board which reached the entire length of the tub.
 II began to be suspicious of every thing. I peeked behind the artistic background and discovered two long water pipes. My eyes lighted on the Japanese umbrella. Surely this was for purposes decorative, not deceptive. I poked it suspiciously with the tip of my parasol To! It covered the shower bath attachment!

HALLOWEEN CHARMS.

Done With Popping Nuts, Melted Lead
 Cakes and Apples.
 Here are some of the old Halloween charms as given in What To Eat:
 Name several chesnuts and place them in q row before the grate. The one which bursts open first will indi- cate the man who will pop the question first
 Tie an apple to a string and swing it in the doorway With hands behind them the young men try to take bites of the apple. The one who first suc- ceeds has the privilege of kissing any girl he chooses
 Hold a door key in one hand. With the other pour melted lead for an iron spoon through the handle of the key in- to cold water. The lead will take shapes indicative of the profession of one's fu- ture husband. In Russia hot lard is used instead of lead. One or two drops is sufficient.
 Place three dishes in a roW--one con- taining clear, one muddy water and one empty. BllndfoId the girl and let her put her hand into a dish. The clear

water fortells Q happy marriage the muddy an unfortunate one, and the empty no husband.
 Place three nuts on the bars of the grate, naming one after your sweet heart. If the nut cracks or jumps the sweetheart will be unfaithful if it be- gins to blaze, he has a regard for you. Name one nut for yourself, and if the two burn clearly and brightly it will be happy marriage.
 Seven girls make a cake of flour and water mixed to stiff dough and plac- ed in Q pan. No word must be spoken during the making of the cake, and no man must appear on the scene.
 Each girl picks her initials and the initials of her sweetheart on top of the cake. Ten minutes are allowed for the baking of the cake, no one speaking.
 When the cake is baked the initials of those who will marry before the year is out are plainly seen on the top If the door opens and man enters, the girl on whom his glance falls first will be married first

 T thought I'd run the entire gamut of disguised sleep arrangements that New York could boast and was familiar with all the stunts of enter prising landladies to make every inch of space available" said an art stu dent the other day, but my last ex- perience takes the palm for surprises in this line.
 At very highly recommended boarding house I was told that there was but one room left, and that very small one,

 Tt proved to be the second floor back hall room. While it was unde- niably small still it boasted large sunny window, and by using a closet in the hall I decided I could get along.
 Tt was the daintiest little den of a place I ever saw. The walls were cov- cred with blue cartridge paper and the woodwork was painted white, But the bed was the chef doeuvre.

varying wailing tune, when the second fiddle took up the air, repeating 1t in lower notes, and the woman accom- panied with a rhythmic swinging of her calahash. It is a wierd melancholy noise, naturally in q minor key, but full of ever growing excitement
 All the young people had now form ed into two rings, the men inside, and around them an equal number of girls. They started walking around slowly in opposite directions. Then, as the music became faster, they quickened into a kind of two-step, the men dancing in and out around the girls, who kept moving the other way. Each time the boy faced the girl he turned around, gave little jump and, smacking her outstretched hand moved off to the next beauty, where the performance be- again.
 All was done in time to the music, and the movements of the laughing youngsters could not have been better measured. Without reserve all aband- oned themselves to the most thorough
 
 enjoyment, dancing and yelling as if we had been acquainted for years. A little way off sat the matrons and the old men, watching and talking over what they had done. in their younger days.
 Behind was the black bush, with here and there a higher palm tree coming out and showing in clear silhouette against the white rocks, while the stars moved slowly over the sky, and the great silver moon made. it all look wonderful and uncanny. Quite uncon. sciously I recalled old familiar scenes other music, other costumes, and g smaller room; and these naked savages were, after all, not so very different from the wise Westerners.

 As result of having seven acres of winter tomatoes frozen out during the great freeze in Florida one grower learned something about how they stake tomatoes in Mississippi. He tried quarters of an acre of it in Flor ida, and the rows of tomato plants, hanging full of fruit, looked like a dwarf fruit orchard.
 It takes a lot of work, though, and time to stake and prune tomatoes, but for kitchen garden supply, North or South, especially if space is limited, the method is ideal. Six feet Is the height to which the tomatoes should be rtained, and pruned to single stem. They can be made to grow ten or fifteen feet as well, but this is an in- convenient height

One day one of the bears went out into the woods and got lost. A Canyon City sport went bear hunting about the same time. The pet bear saw the sport first and being hungry ran toward him to beg for food. As soon as the sport saw the bear he ran and when the bear saw the man was running it ran faster. The pace became furious, for the sport was becoming more frightened every second. Finally the sport saw a cabin and made for 1t.
 In an exhausted condition he reach ed the shelter, threw open the door and hurrying in slammed it shut and crept to the window. There stood the bear wagging it's tail. But the poor sport re- mained in his hiding place until Sam came and took the pct away.-From the Lung Creek Ranger.

DANCE OF AFRICAN NATIVES.
Gathering of the Dancers Wierd Music
 and Strange Figures.


 Tho high cliffs of the valley showed clearly in the bright moonlight, when tie sG airs of native ban were heard coming from an adjacent village Through the Ing guines cornstalks men and women came out like so many shadows for the various clusters of huts, writes Hans Vishcher, describing a dance he saw in northern Nigeria in the Geographic Journal. The sound of the fiddles and the rattling of a calabash filled with pebbles came ever nearer till the band with many followers emerged from the dark fields to thA open space, where a broad sandy river bed formed a natural playground A merry crowd had now gathered chattering and laughing and thorough ly enjoying itself after the way of inc African.

FIGHT WITH A BEAR.
 Mary Mulyaney, the pretty school ma'am who teaches a district school near Solway, Minn., proved herself a heroine under tr1 ing circumstances one day last week The morning recess was just over and a class was recitlng, the teacher standing at the blackboard with a long pointer in her hand ex- plaining the intricacies of multiplied ton and addition, when a cry of terror from a pupil on one of the back seats caused her to turn toward the door. She was mortified to see standing in the open doorway huge black bear, with head cooked curiously to one side and nose shifting toward the closet where the teacher and the children kept their lunch baskets.
 There was instant panic among the pupils, none of whom was more than 10, and they gathered around the teacher. clinging to her skirts and hud- ding about her like little chickens about a mother hen. The bear paid no attention to the children, but made a
 
 the older boys grew bold and shied a chalk eraser at the bear, which turned about with an angry growl.
 Now it started toward them with claws spread out menacngly. As it ap- preached Miss Mulveney brought down the heavy pointer which she held in her hand across the bridge of Bruins nose. The nose is a tender spot with Bruin, and the blow that Miss Mulvaney dealt was backed by muscle which had been gained in summer course in the harvest field, and so the bear, turning tail, scampered out of the schooroom | for the tall timber
 The danger being over Miss Mulvaney tainted which added to the panic of the youngsters, but some of the older ones threw pail of water upon her and she soon revived,-Solway corres- pondence Minneapolis Journal.

THANKSGIVING IN PARIS.


 Have you any idea of what is the Thanksgiving of the American resident of Paris? Let me tell you. We have turkey with cranberry sauce. The turkey is stuffed with things which on- ly the French tongue can define and the cranberry sauce is usually bought in a can, ready-made, from an English factory. still, it is real turkey and the sauce is red with real cranberry skins in it, so that VIC complain not. We are even glad and grateful, this, too, in spite of the fact that we are commonly called widows and orphans temporarily assemble to eat the Thanksgiving dinner at home. Our husbands and the fathers of our chill dren are wont to grace the dinner giv- en by the American club where every man resident of Paris who is a true patriot goes bursting with a sense of gratitude because he is a citizen of the greatest country on earth. To this dinner are bidden each year a certain number of innocent and unsuspecting Frenchmen, who are made to consume even larger quantities of American eagle than of turkey and who must go home sad enough if they believe all that the speakers of the evening tell them of how Americans are doing ev- erything In the world that is worth do- ing; that any small affairs which the French may still be carrying on, we, the people of the United States, shall appropriate whenever we take the mo- tion.-Harper's Bazar.

DO YOU STUDY woMEN's BACKS

DO YOU STUDY WOMEN'S BACKS? A woman's back expresses a great deal more than one would fancy.
 Observe a woman with stopped shoulders, an ill fitting bodice col lar pinned sloppily, waistband es- caping from the protection of the waist and what hops into your mind
 Either that the woman is so crazed with trouble and hard luck that she isn't conscious of her appearance, or that she Is simply careless, slipshod, "no-count" mortal, to whom energy and ambition and neatness are unin- telligible words.
 Then look upon another back with the bodice lines straight and correct, the waist lines we'll placed, the col lar securely and neatly fastened down, the skirt well fitting, and the shoulders poised with tirmness and grace.
 What then?
 You are pretty sure when you get a front view that you will see a pretty or serene face, with hair daintiIy dressed and neatly placed.
 Sometimes, of course, you are dis appointed.
 A few women go in for beautiful backs and don't get any farther but that is neither here nor there nor some place else.
 Details make dress, just as the most trivial incidents contribute to the af- fairs of life,
 An open placket and skirtband creeping away from the waist are troubles that are not confined to any one particular class of women, for all are afflicted more or less.
 Men have routed and fumed more about sagging wristbands than about scorehed mullins and underdone steak.
 There has been many a happily planned trip to the theater or din- ner marred by the masculine and scornful exclamation:
 Why don't you fix your belt? It looks like the dickens! You are coming all to pieces"
 And as domestic happiness is about the greatest necessity-if one could live through this short span of ex- istence with anything like tranquility --feminines had better look to the waist lines and see that they are not only carefully and correctly arranged but artistic and becoming as we'll
 Remember that the public gazes more often and longer on your back then it does on your face.

GIRL AND GOVERNOR,
NEW COMIC OPERA AT NEW
 HAVEN THEATER,

Enthusiastic and Cultured Audience
 Witnesses Jefferson De Angelis and
 His Splendid Company of Artists
 Opera Is Unusually Good and De
 serves a Large Audience.
 The Girl and the Governor" one of the latest additions to the portfolio of comic operas, and perhaps one of the best of present day musicals, made its initial appearance at the New Haven theater last night. While the audience was goodly in numbers, and composed of many of New Haven's social and musical set, yet it was not as large as the merits of the opera and the excel lence of the cast merited. But what was wanting in numbers was certainly made up in enthusiasm. It was an ap- preciative audience in every sense of the word, and it never foget to show its gratitude at the efforts of the cast. The works of the principals, the artis- tis taste of the scenic artists, or the clever and well drilled chorus. The book is by s. M. Brenner, and has plenty of wit and humor, which Jeffer- son De Angelis and his company uses to good advantage. The music is by that prince of composers Julian Ed wards, who is recognized as the Sir Arthur Sullivan of to-day And his production of the musical settings for ''The Girl and the Governor" show the master hand of the composer.
 The scene is laid in La Guayra, South America, in the sixteenth cen tury. The old Spanish town gives plen- ty of opportunity for fine scenic set tings and has mt been overlooked for those responsible for the staging of the production.
 There is a dozen of principal roles, all of which are taken by men and women of unusual artistic ability. The chorus is a large one, and the voices are the best that has been heard here for a long time.
 Jefferson De Angelis himself is equal ly at home in his role as the governor, and his work last night was repeated ly applauded, while his songs made a decided hit. "The Land of the Brave and the Free" and Have You Ever Heard it Told That Way Before" be- ing specially good and called forth en- core after encore. Amongst the other songs which go down on the decided hit list were II Am So Fair" by Miss Leekly, "The Musical Bullfrog," by MT, Vogel; "The Amorous Pigeon by Miss Leekly; "Who Would Bachelor Be?" MT. Ling, and i've Very Nasty Tem- per-" by Mis- Wentworth.
 "The Governor and the Girl will be presented again this evening, and lovers of opera should not miss the opportun- ity of seeing it.
