'SnooI. EJ.e-; stloot!" screamed Mrs.
Woodward.
The first shot OF the wolf huntress,
or, rather, the first aIter her wild shot
at bruin No. l, went Sluarely through
the head Of the second bear. Mrs.
Woodwards gun was seven shot and
while Miss Williams was firing wildly
she fired two shots into the largest or
the two remaining bears. These shots
were unfortunate. however, and the
big animal was rushing across the open
toward them and was not fifty feet
away when a shot from Miss Williams
ended the career of bruin No. 3.
Meanwhile the smaller bear seeming
~ had been too astonished to move, but
now began to beat a hasty retreat.
Both of the young women began firing
at him, and before he reached the edge
of the woods the animal was perforat-
ed several times. Hastily leaving three
dead bears, the huntresses hurried
through the woods and secured the aid
Of DR.. Woodward and another man.
The first bear which Mrs. Woodward
killed was one of the largest ever shot
in Luce county, and a beautiful rug
made from it's skin will adorn Miss
Williams home in Sault Ste. Marie.

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm Of fire is the
brassy cough Of Group, which sounds
like the children's death knell and it
means death unless something is done
quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar never
fails to give instant relief and quickly
cures the worst forms of Group. Mrs.
P. L. Cordler, of Warrington, Ky,
says: "My three year old girl had a
severe case of Group; the doctor said
she could not live. I got bottle Of
Foley's Honey and Tar, the first dose
gave quick relief and saved her life"
Foley's Honey and Tar is best for
Group and whooping cough. contains
no opiates, and cures quickly. Careful
mothers keepit in the house. Refuse
substitutes. j. T. Bennett.

a SLIDE IN S.NOSG1
TO QUICK DEATH
An "A dOerlfure Of Nine Elk
pIorerS In the Anfdrfic
Reg ion.

In Captain Robert F. Scott's voyage
of the Discovery" the story is told of
nine men of the exploring party in the
antarctic who returned from a sledge
expedition in a binding snowstOrm.
The narrative says:
''An unusually violent squall prevent
ed us from seeing even one another. l
Immediately ordered chain to be form
ed at right angles and extending across
our track, each man keeping in touch
with the rest, with the idea Of inter
cepting Hare, who was missing, when
he came on. We shouted and blew
whistles, and while this was going on
Evans stepped back on patch Of bare,
smooth ice and shot out of sight imme-
diately. Thinking the slope to be one
of the short ones so common in the
folds of the hills, Barne sat down and
deliberately started to slide in Evans
track. In a moment or two the slope
grew sleeper, and soon he was going at
a pace which left him no power to con-
troll his movements. He whipped out
his clasp knife and dug it into the ice,
but the blade snapped off short and
failed to check his wild career. In a
flash the ice changed to snow, which
grew softer, until in smother Of flying
particles his rapid flight was arrested,
and he stood up to find Evans within a
few feet of him."
A third man joined them in similar
fashion: "Realizing the impossibility
of ascending again by the way they
had come, they started to descend, but
within four PAGES of the place at which
they had been brought to rest they
found that the slope ended suddenly in
a steep precipice, beyond which they
could see nothing but the clouds of
whirling snow. Even as they recoiled
from this new danger and dimly real
lied the merciful patch of soft snow
which had saved them from it a yelp-
ing dog flew past them, clawing madly
at the icy slope, and disappeared for

An InterruDtiOn.

A teacher in a western public school
was giving her class the first lesson in
subtraction. ''NOw, in order to sub

apples from four pears nor six horses

ward, Mrs. WOodward's husband, cas-
lily tracked it down and dispatched it
the same day.
Mrs. Woodward has a reputation
throughout Michigan and Wisconsin as
a huntress. She is the daughter of
Henry Baldwin, who until recently
was at the head of a large Pittsburg
cOlliery company, and is known by
many in Syracuse, N. Y, where she
lived for several years. On account Of
consumption DR.. Woodward went into
the Michigan north woods soon after
his marriage and became a profess
sional wolf hunter. His wife took an
active part in the wilderness life car
ried a gun, set traps and helped to Kill
many of the beasts, for which the state
offers a bounty. During the last five
years the WoodWards have made over
$4,000 in wolf hunting and have won
a wide reputation.
During her life in the woods as a
professional wolf hunter Mrs. Wood
ward has had many stirring adyen-
lures, but never one to compare with
that of a short time ago. Miss Wood
ward was visiting her friend in Luce
county, where the Woodwards have
made their home for about a year. Dur
ing her stay the wolf huntreSs took her
friend on many little hunting Cxcur-
sions in the woods, and Miss Williams
soon became so enthusiastic that she
willingly carried and practiced with
one of the rifles of her hostess. She
shot several wolves that were caught
in traps, killed a freed wildcat and soon
became quite expert.
On the morning of the adventure
with the bears Mrs. Woodward and
Miss Williams set out for a deep part
of the woods for the roots of some
magnificent ferns that grew there, a
few of which Miss Williams wished to
take home with her. The woods about
Luce and, in fact, throughout that and
adjoining counties have been swarming
with BEARS but Mrs. Woodward eX-
pressed herself as not afraid of the big
gest bear in Michigan. But she hardly
bargained for four.
The two young women had just
reached the little Doggy hollow in which
the ferns grew, and Mrs. Woodward
was busy with a spade, when Miss
Williams gave a scream.
'Look! Lookv' she cried.
Mrs. Woodward. like a trained hunt
reSs, took in the situation at a glance.
A big bear was ambling across in their
direction and apparently had not motto
ed them until the girl had screamed.
Mrs. Woodward caught up her rifle and
smiled at the evident fright of her
friend She had killed many bears and
knew that this one could not escape
her.
Just as she was on the point of firing
she was SO startled by the appearance
of another bear behind the first that
her shot failed to bring down bruin.
The animal, however, ran off into the
woods and was afterward found wound
ed. To the terror of Miss Williams,
third bear followed the second, and
when still another came out into the
open Mrs. Woodward cried for her
companion to use her gun. Two of the

Probably the most remarkable hunt
men was that which recently happened
to Mrs. Frank Woodward and Miss
Ethel Williams, the first of Luce and
the second of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
Within a few minutes these young
women, who were alone half a mile
from any house, encountered four big
bears, killed three of them and wound
ed the fourth so badly that DR.. Wood

others eventually moved on until they,
too, found themselves on an awkward
slope Their leader suddenly saw the
precipice beneath his feet and far below,
through the wreathing snow, the sea.
Another step would have taken him
over the edge. He sprang back with a
cry of warning, and those behind him,
hearing it, dug their heels instructive
~ into the surface, and with one eX-
ceptiOn all succeeded in stopping. What
followed was over in an instant. Be

to check himself with lis soft fur boots,
