PROTECTS THE HANDY e n tor, realizing
that these mishaps could be avoid
ed, has patented a guard that af-
fords the housewife the protection
needed. 1t was designed to be APP
piled mainly to kitchen utensils-such
as forks, spoons, cake turner's and sim
liar utensils-to protect the hand used
in grasping the utensil. This guard is
conical In form, and is made Of sheet
metal. 1t is SO constructed that it can
be removed from one article and at
tached to another, and need be used
only when so desired. Free access is
afforded for the hand, so that the
fork or spoon can be manipulated with
as much ease as if without the guard.
It is also of sufficient size to readily
embrace or surround the hand. There
is thus no likelihood Of the hand being
burned by nearness to a not receptacle.

WINS RACE WITH BEAR.
Lumbernan Runs Quarter of Mile

Lumberman Runs Quarter of Mile
for Life Near Fountain.
Frank Fountain, lumberman Of FOun-
tain. had an exciting race with q bear
recently and won out by about twelve
inches. Mr.. Fountain was out in the
woods and when about a quarter Of
mile from his office turned and saw bear
on the brow of a hill. Mr.. Fountain was
not armed so he made for Donald. As he
quickened his pace the bear did tia same.
Then he started to run and the bear came
on in a gallop. During the last eighth OF
a mile the big fellow was only few feet
behind. Mr.. Fountain reached his office
just in time to slam the door of his office
in the face of Bruin, who was so close
behind that he nearly bumped into the
door. Mr.. Fountain secured his rifle and
ran out the back door and fired at the
bear which came tearing around the rear.
Fountain again sought shelter. He ven
tured out once more and this time the
bear fell dead almost ON the steps. The
animal weighs 34S pounds.

PREPARED.

Even such cautious persons as go
through life prepared for disaster may,
at the crucial moment, meet it after
the manner of the unprepared. II lived
in California for twenty-five years."
said Mrs. ParsOn, when pressed by the
Eastern relatives she was visiting to
tell what she knew of the recent dis
aster in San Francisco, land when 1
first arrived, everybody gave me adj
vice 20 fit ali occasions, even earth
quakes. Summed up there was exactly
three things that was to remember to
do in case of a severe shock. | was
to keep a robe-something that would
to heels-at my bedside; l was to have
comfortable pair of slippers always
ready in the same place; and was to
remember to stand in a doorway, be-
cause that is considered the safest place
when plaster and bricks are falling"
"And did you do all those things
when the time came?" queried her
nieces.
'Iy dears," returned Mrs. Parson,
during those twenty-five years 1 made
at least nine different earthquake robes
for myself, and goodness knows how
often l bought slippers. You see, those
robes were wonderfully comfortable to
wear mornings: but as fast as one be-
gan to show signs of wear l made an
other. Styles changed, too; still, al
though it really got to be a nuisance,
1 always tried to keep ready a garment
that should be altogether suited to my
age and figure"
$50 of course you had one when the
time came. Did you bring it East with
you Where is it nOw?'
"My dear girls, that doorway, that
lovely robe, those comfortable slippers
are all in ashes. When the shock came,
although every one of those things was
in perfect readiness. never gave them
thought, but hoped out of bed and
fed through the streets just as was. /"

LAW OF "TIPs" IN ENGLAND.

Must Fee Your Friends DomestIcs
and Allow Them to DO the Same.
1t is an unspoken law that you
should not only tip your friends 10
mestics. but allow them to tip yours,
says the Pail Mall Magazine. The tips
given to private sersl,orS vary IN
amount, sometimes aces ing to the
number and often acoa ing to the
quality Of the guests. The nouveau
richie. for instance, will give the game
keepers f5, or even Flo, thereby making
matters very uncomfortable for q bet
ter sportsman, less endowed, who fol-
lows after him.
Young girls should only tip the
housemaid and the parlor maid If there
be one. No young girl is expected TO
tip the coachman or the butler, al
though she would naturally give the
groom something II she has done any

explained that his method of tipping
was conducted on the strictest business
lines.
Il always give the same amount" he
said, wherever l stay.
"When l am away shooting I give
the keeper 3 shillings per day-unless
it's covert shooting and we get over
fifty pheasants, then l make 1t 10 shil-
lings l also give 10 shillings to the
under keeper, 2 shillings to the man
who carries my gun, and shillings TO
the man who cleans it. These figures
vary, Of course, according to the num-
Der of keepers, ETC.. my friends have.
One pound is enough for a weeks fair
shooting
ITO the coachman who has driven
me to and from the station 1 give 8
shillings, or 3 shillings if he has driven
me anywhere else; and to the butler
81 if there for over week and 10 shil-
lings if under week and shillings
to the man who has seen to my clothes.
ITO housemaids 1 usually give 1
shilling per day, but if extra attentive
make it (the same applying, Of
course, to a parlor maid) 10 shillings
for my week"
1t Is wiser to ring your bell and
give the money than to leave it on your
dressing table; for you are sure at
least that it goes to the right person.

Big Toll of Human Life Preceiies
Opening of Deer Season.
Although the open season for deer did
not begin until Nov. 10, thirteen persons
are dead and twenty-one injured as a
result of hunting in Wisconsin and upper
Michigan since Sept. 1. Last year, dur
ing the hunting season in Wisconsin.
twenty-six persons lost their lives and
fifty-one were injured. In Michigan
hunter is guilty of manslaughter if he
kills any one, even by accident. This law
has had the effect to greatly lessen hunt
ing accidents in the peninsula, although
it has operated to cause hunters who have
accidentally shot some one to desert the
wounded party for fear of prosecution.
Several corpscs found in the woods are
undoubtedly of those who were accident
ally shot and left to die by cowardly
hunters.
