lions and Some Novel Ideas.
Written for The Star
Aside from the old-time pumpkins, jack
o'-lanterns and autumn leaves, there
few decorations to employ in preparing the
Halloween frolic; but these, tastefully and
originally arranged, make most effective
rooms.
Halloween is a spooky, wierd night, and
no light save that from a bonfire or that
which peeps out from behind great pump
kin faces on shelves or table or porch caves
must be in evidence. The bonfire is the
traditional light, and by its alurng flame
the fairies are said to come and dance and
tell mere mortals of their future mates In
smaller towns or in the suburbs of cities
the bonfire is still custom of the night,
but in cities there is little opportunity for
one.
A pretty Halloween supper table is left
bare with only the highly polished wood in
evidence and perhaps a dolly or two of
linen-colored cloth, nothing white nor of
lace. In the center stands a big pumpkin
with face cut on each side, and inside of
which stands big plumbers candle.
Heaped all about the JACKIE lantern are big
red and green apples highly polished, and
there are four candlesticks cut from the
large ends of yellow gourds and in which
are stuck short plumbers candles.
If there is shelf or a mantel in the
TOOII, there SHOulu De Two OF three ouuly
carved faces in pumpkins. each with light
behind and weird-looking lantern may be
made by putting discs of red isinglass over
the eyes, with black pencil dot in the
center.
A tablecloth made entirely from oak
leaves is pretty, but perishable. The
leaves, which are all the shades Of red and
green and brown, are collected with a view
to having them as much the same size as
possible. Then the stems are removed and
the leaves are pinned together with them
in long strips. After there are yards and
yards of this leaf ribbon completed it is
separated into sections long enough to
cover the table and fastened together with
more stems from other leaves. On top of
this cloth of autumn leaves the pumpkins
are set. 1t makes one of the very prettest
table decorations for Halloween party.
Portieres and window curtains are made
from autumn leaves pinned together in the
same way and held back with big clusters
of small branches. The leaf ribbons are
pinned over a curtain pole made from
branch barred of its leaves.
Besides the natural decorations of au-
tumn there are quantities of favors In the

The Secrets of Hairdressing.

The reason why the majority Of women
who have to depend on their own exertions
in the matter of dressing their hair usually
obtain such disappointing results does not
after all, spring SO much from a want OF
knowledge of the subject as a fatal parsi-
monfousness in the amount of time they
devote to it night and morning.
Hair to look well, must receive a maxi
mum of attention, and the fact is too often
ignored that the necessary time spent on
this important matter of the toilet Is never
thrown afay as far as looks are concerned,
the present fashions making more stringent
demands than ever ON tho amateur hair

Muffs Decorated With Yards of Tails.

The new NUNS that have just been intro
duced are quite as large as the "grannies"
of last winter plus waterfall of most
lengthy tails. which falls over the muff
from the front.
So long do the tails appear that the fact
that they are Joined together is very APP
parent, though there Is no obvious proof OF
it, A sable muff lined with white fur will
have brown and white tails alternately
upon 1t, with the heads of the sable and the
fox at the top of each tail.
Worn in a carriage or locomobile, the
effect of this extraordinary mun Is strik-
ing, while for the promenade it Is not less
So though the weight the tails add to it is
not inconsiderable, and therefore somewhat
of deterrent to the ease Of the pedestrian.

A Teacher in saxe-Altenburg,

Would you like to be a teacher in the
duchy of Saxe-Altenburg? The teachers of
Saxe-Altenburg have just been officially
warned to abstain from all kinds of fiirta-
ton; to preserve their dignity by avoiding
monthly dances; to shun the comic song,
and to go to church every Sunday. 1t is
understood that the poor school teachers
are now ag;tating for a definition of fir
taticn," lest, unwttingly, they should fall
into one of the many kinds thereof
known to a wise paternal government.

The following is Acting Deputy
Warden Colligan's school report
for November as submitted to
Warden Wolfe1. Thirteen ses.
sions were held during the month,
and the average attendance was
165. Of this number lis attend
ed voluntarily and so were com.
PEELED to go.
During the month the record
of the night school was far above
the average, as not one of the in
mates was reported for lack of in
terest in school work. Four of
the pupils, however, were reported
for breach Of institutional rules.
Seven men were enrolled during
the month, and four of the pupils
who attended school we're dis
charged on expiration of sentence.
Several of the teachers will soon
leave. but as there is plenty of
talent to take their places, the
school will not suffer thereby.

II Bear Bunt.

L saw Hank, Big Bill and few
other cowboys in bunch talking
rather excitedly, so [ walked over
to see what the trouble was. 1t
seems that there was big grizzly
bear up near st. Mary's lake that
was getting SO loving he was hug
ging the sheep to death, and that
the boys were planning scheme
to catch him. We arranged to
leave town for St. Mary's the next
afternoon. We we're going to stay
all night at 10 Kipp's ranch, take
in the sun dance that the Indians
we're going to have the following
day, and then begin the bear hunt.
The next day we started for the
place where the sun dance was to
occur, and waited around three or
four hours before it started. They
finally began by forming a circle
and commenced to whoop and yell
like bunch of cow punchers at a
horse race. They were all daubed
up, streaked and striped, with all
the colors imaginable. They were
dressed kind of modest like, most
ly feathers and sunshine. Well,
four of them pounded on a rig
that looked like a potato kettle,
with piece of cowhide stretched
across the top. For time they
would hop around on one leg, and
then they would try the other,
whooping continually as tho they
were locoed.
Finally Bill began to get sea
sick and said that this was no
place for civilized beings. We
rode over to Witzeps ranch on
Milk River, stayed all night and
started for the lake the next morn
ing. We arrived at the west end
of st. Mary's lake about ten
O'Clock and talked with a sheep
herder who had been scared out
of years growth by Old Ephralm.
According to his story, bruin was
as big as moose, and as ugly as
they make them. He pointed
out small bunch of pines and
brush, where he had seen him last,
walking off with one of his best
ewes. We left our cayuses with the
sheep herder and walked over to
the pines.
"Well," says Hank, II have got
the best gun, SO I will go in and
root him out" I had Savage
rifle, and felt pretty brave myself.
The rest of us surrounded the
clump of brush, which was about
half mile square. "Now," said
Hank, "if you hear me yell, you
want to hurry up and help me-"
We waited for about half an
hour for Hank to shoot Or yell, |
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1906-12-06

but heard nothing, so we passed
the word on to move in closer.
There was small clearing in the
center and [ was the first to reach
it, and this was what 1 saw: Old
Ephraim stood on one side of the
clearing, and Hank stood on the
other. Bruin was snarling, grunt-
ing, and making faces at Hank.
Poor Hank! He had the buck
fever SO bad [ thought he would
shake himself out of his clothes.
He dropped his gun, and that
started bruin. I realized that
Hank was in for it, so 1 yelled:
'"Are you locoed you bobtailed
maverick? Run! If he gets a
swipe at you he will jar all your
relatives, too"
Hank let a whoop out of him
that must have been an awful re-
lief. Billy Witzel said he heard
it down on the ranch, ten miles
away, and Hank, was going some,
too. He had on red shirt, and
all I could see was streak of red.
He moved path slick and clean
thru that clump of brush. Bruin
didn't follow, but turned for me.
l let drive straight for the
shoulder, and cut a cash in his
forearm, and then I, too, ran out
of harms way. I heard Bill
laugh just as I started. I got
down where Hank and the other
two we're, and we had just made
up our minds to 60 back when we
heard the most awful kind of
language coming from the center
of that bunch of brush.
Bill had got excited and forgot
to use his gun. He was using it
as a club, and was trying to hit
Old Ephraim on the head, but he
might just as we'll have tried to
hit a streak of lightning. Well.
he pounded the atmosphere full
of holes, but the bear soon hit the
gun swipe and knocked it half
way across Mantana. He then
caughtBill and began to hug him.
l was SO weak from laughing that
[ could hardly get my gun in po-
sition to shoot. 1 finally shot the
bear after he had given Bill the
best hug he ever got. One shot
thru the head did the business.
We rolled him off of Bill and
examined the latter to see how bad
he was hurt. The only injuries
be received was bruised shoulder
and temporary cessation of his
vocal powers.
To this day Hank always claims
that when I saw him shaking, he
was studying out how to take the
bear alive. Bill said he was try
ng to save ammunition. But be-
;ween ourselves, we were scared, |
md rather bad, too. 1906.
