A Bear Hunt On Cape JeIIison.

For the past few days persistent rumors
have been in circulation that large black
bear had been occasionally seen in close
proximity to number of homesteads on
Cape JellisOn, and Monday few Wouldbe
hunters started on cruise for bruins pelt
But after wandering about for few
hours, not venturing more than hundred
miles into the forest, they returned some
what dsmayed but not discouraged. Tues
day largeshunting party composed of the
more stalwart of the citizens, armed to the
teeths. with every conceivable kind of a
weapon from jackknife to a pickaxe, and
determined to cover themselves with glory
in the expected desperate battle with MIR.
Bear, congregated in Central Square, where
they were duly arrayed, inspected and in
Serg'ts Dutch, Robbins and Berry of the
local police force, and Prof. Daniel, who
saw service as artillery instructor in the
RusSO-JapaneSe war. After liking leave of
wives, mothers and sweethearts, they start
ed their laborous tramp through the wilds
of the Cape
Nothing was seen or heard until several
miles had been traversed, when a mysteri-
Gus imprint was discerned in the snow,
which, after being minutely examined, was
pronounced as having been made by BruiD.
Buoyed on by bright hopes of soon coming
up with their long-hunted quarry and ac
curing his pelt the tired hunters redoubled
some half mile wide black object was
sighted, although too far away for a sure
shot 1t was at this juncture that Capt.
Kinney had hard work to restrain some OF
the more excitable members, especially
Sergeants Dutch and Robbins and the Pro
rhn thn nlynn Of "
was rather eager to get into the fray to
test his steel as in the days of old. How
ever not shot was fred and a thanking
movement was decided upon, resulting in
the image showing up less than hundred
yards distant. All saw to the condition OF
fired volley which shook Cape Jelllson
wharf from end to end, although some two
miles away. LOAD again" shouted the
Captain, who did not want to take any
chances. Another murderous vOlley EMIT
ed from the mouths of muZZle-loaders,
breech-loaders, rifles, revolvers, ETC., which
surpassed in ferocity the charge at Balak-
lava, or the battle of Bunker Hill. But
when the smoke cleared, 10 and behold
Bruin remained on all fOurs, upright,
and looking the same as usual. FIFTY
PAGES forward ordered the Professor
who by this time was thoroughly arous-
ed and took command of the firing squad:
Again another volley rang forth, and
still no move. By this time all fear as to
the probable danger of receiving a thug
had passed, and IA closer investigation was
begun. Cautiously advancing, with knives
and rifles ready for any emergency, a few
of the boldest crept to within a few feet OF
the supposed denizen Of the forest, which
proved to be, not "a bear, but his perfect
image, composed of four sticks, four stock
ings, quantity of straw and a buffalo robe
A real bear may now commit all sorts OF
depredations, and feel perfectly safe, as he
is not likely to be followed, at least by
Cape Jellison hunters, who are now looking
for the Joker.

LOST HIGHWAYMAN
 JOKE WENT WRONG
The Victim the Only Man Who Saw
 the Fun of it.

It was Sunday night that Eddie Lightner "got his.'
 Eddie has built up an enviable repu- tation as a keen -witted, coId-b -blooded, and cOnscienceless jobber, and it has been the thought in some quarters that a very ordinary sort of d hack man has been made out of material that was really designed for the mak- ing of a prince of confidence men. Eddie'S misfortune has been that -a was born honest and was neither an lnjun nor Chinaman. His natural instincts caused him to be from the very first the acknowledged leader of the local secret society whose chief object is to terrorize timid strangers and either kill them through a fake hold-up job or make them good, brave Arizonians.
 The story of the fake hold-up is an old one and the reader will know what is meant by the simple announcement that the scheme is to inveigle a stranger out into the suburbs, have ones cOnfederates hold him up, and run him back to town. Sometimes the bait is a visit to the house of a lady friend; sometimes it is a Mexican dance or any other pretext that suits the victim. Eddie Ligntner has been the chief conspirator, and it is esti- mated that he has made more men run faster for nothing than anybody else on earth.
 Sunday night he ribbed" another victim a bright, intelligent sort of a chap, who wanted to see a Mexican dance, and of course Eddie knew all about where to find one. Eddie's friends were all encoura ging him to take the victim out and helped in the "con' talk wherever they could. prom ising, of course, to have the hold-up party secreted in the brush in due time. The victim was over anxious He could hardly wait for dark to come, but finally they started, Fred Tribolet and a railroad man named
 Buckley going along to see the sport they had heard so much about. They finally reached the east end of the ear line, then took the usual trail. but mo- body seemed to be lying in wait. Ed die led the party twice around the park, but couldn't find anybody to hold him up. Finally, he announced that he had missed the trail and start ed off in another direction. There was nothing doing. Then he went across lots by every dark looking cIump of bushes. but still there was no Mexican dance in sight nor any hold-up men. Finally he brought the procession up standing with the announcement: Boys, we have been jobbed. the high waymen have gone back on us,' but the only one Who could appreciate the joke was the intended victim, who was in reality the chief jobber.

When physician tells woman, sui fering from female trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frightens her.
 The very thought of the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. As one woman expressed it, when told by her physician that she must undergo an operation, she felt that her death knell had sounded.
 Our hospitals are full of women who are there for just such operations!
 It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after the doctors had said an operation must be per formed. In fact, up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help.
 The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations.
 Margrits Ryan, Treasurer of St. Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 q cannot find words to express my thanks for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did me. The doctor said I could not get well unless l had an operation for the trouble from which suffered. I knew l could not stand the strain of an operation and made up my mind I would be an invalid for ! life. Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkhams Ask Mrs, pinkham'S AdViEe-A Wen

A Traveller Through the Territory
 Studied Statehood Sentiment.

J. I. Coleman, of Kelvin proprietor of the Kelvin Ice and Cold Storage company. arrived in the city yester- day from the east where he has been buying machinery for his ice plant. MT
 Coleman has been deeply interested in the joint statehood question ever since it's agitation was begun so that when he was returning through New Mexico he spent a great deal of time ascer- taining how the people in that terri tory feel about it. He talked with as many people as he could along his line of travel and he said he found very few who were in favor of joint ure. There were a few who wanted

statehood of some kind and would pre- fer joint statehood to none at all but the great majority of the men met Cy MT. Coleman talked just as the Ari- zonians do. They would prefer a ter ritory indefinitely to jointure From what MT. Coleman could gather on his trip he believes that joint state hood proposition would be as badly defeated on the other side of the line as or this side.
 Regarding the cold storage enter prise MT. Coleman said that his ma chinery was now on the way and he expected to have it running by the time the demand for ice sets in. There is no fuel in that part of the country so that he will have to use oil which he has ascertained will cost only a little more than half as much as coal.

Vegetable Compound had saved otherwomen from serious operations I decided to try it, and in less than four months 1 was entirely
 cured; and words fail to express my thank fulness.n
 Miss Margret Merlley, of PTS 3d Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 ''LOss of strength, extreme nervousness, severe shooting pains through the pelvic irritable disposition compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said that 1 had a serious female trouble and ulceratiOn, and advised an operation as my only hope. To this strongly obiected-and I decided as a last resort to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ''To my surprise the Liberation healed, all | the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
 more strong, vigorous and well; and 1 can
 not express my thanks for what it has done for me-"
 Serious feminine troubles are steadi- | ly on the increase among women--and | before submitting to an operation
 every woman should try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
 write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. | for advice.
 For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's | Vegetable Compound has been curing
 the worst forms of female complaints, all functional troubles. inflammation, Liberation, falling and displacement,
 weakness, irregularities, indigestion
 and nervous prostration. Any woman
 who could read the many grateful | letters on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office
 would be convinced of the efficiency of
 her advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's | Vegetable Compound.

Uncle Sam Is Compelled to Build More Warships
s.s.*.Fs1a*A..+:.s...s.. !. s....s Is+***

n JEW naval programs of European
v nations, just made public, show
that there can be no pause, if the
United States is to hold its position of
third in rank among sea powers. To
do this, the naval experts say, it is no
longer sufficient to make big showing
in aggregate tonnage" The United
States must have warships as big as
the biggest, or fall back in the race
This conviction was in the minds Of
members of the house naval committee
when it framed this years naval ap-
preparation bill, calling for an expendi-
ture of about 100000. 900, and including
one battleship of 10000 tons, to cost
$10.O0OOOO.
In comparison with the plans of
Great Britain, Germany and Japan this
is modest outlay. Englands 1s.O0O-
ton Dreadnought started anew the race
to build heavier warships. Now Japan
is building a vessel which will outstrip
the Dreadnought by several hundred
tons. Germany. has recently Increased
the tonnage of some of her ships here
tofore authorized to $4,000 tons, and a
20,0OO-ton warship is loudly demanded
by the German Navy league, which
usually gets what II wants.
The disposition of congress is to build
one battleship year in the future, and
such minor and auxiliary craft as may
be needed to keep the present compile
ment intact. Secretary Bonaparte has

mending that congress should authorize

pressed hardly expresses It. OF course
u Is a matter Of business, a cold
FLOODED matter Of cents and dollars, he
thought. but even at that might there
not have been more delicacy, more
rsodesty about the transa action? Should
there not have been screen. or a
turning Of backs, or a blush on the
race of the girl?
Puritanical so the writer's ideas
were nominated by the initiated, when
he summoned sufficient nerve to ex-
pound them. A waste of time, all fool
ishness, and totally irrelevant to the
customs or art, they were declared
to be.
And in time. through experience, he
came to take practically the same view
In the interest of art there must be-
artists; in the interest of artists there
must be models--the proposition be-
came a commercial one. Such a con-
clusion was inevitable.
Oftentimes, when alone in the studio
he answered the tentative knock at the
outer door. And oftentimes, knowing
the needs of his studio associate, he
admitted the position hunting model

That is, the answer would be 'any-

the studio for job-for the first time
who was shocked, and sincerely, too,
at the regulation questions. If that
girl ever returned, the effect of the
queries she met with was palpably
qualified. The writer has never known
1t to fail that the answer to the sec
ond question, on the third visit of the
model, would be anyway" A little
