THE PREY or A GRIZZLY.
BY Little Oversight Bruin Was Rob.
bed of a Good Meal.

In the early settlement of California
grizzly bears were numerous and trou-
bfesome, but few men ever had more
singular experience with a grizzly than
Paul Sweet, who kept tannery near
Santa Cruz The story is told BIZ Mrs.
Dan in MY First Holiday"
Mr.. Sweet was one day walking
alone in the woods when he came sud
denly upon q grizzly bear and her two
cubs He was quite unarmed, and be-
fore he had time 10 consider any plan
of action the bear was upon him. She
struck him down, but he kept his pres
ence of mind and lay perfectly quiet.
The grizzly stood over him for a min
ute or more, then seized him by the
waistband and began dragging him
along, He did not resist. and she drag
ged him for dozen rods to a little
sandy hollow, where she dropped him
and began digging a hole in the sand.
Into this hole she rooted the man. and
then nosed and paved the sand over
him until he was buried from sight.
The prudent animal. not being hungry
at the moment. was making a cache

began to hope that he might escape.

bear had covered him in, and then.
thinking that she had retired from the
scene. he began to work himself free
very cautiously. The grizzly was on
the watch, however, and at the first
movement of her prey rushed 10 the
spot and with two or three strokes OF
her paw snugly tucked him in again.

less again and allowed himself to be
reburied In the sand. Luckily his hat
had slipped over his face, so that the
sand did not fill his nose and eyes, and
by raising his head a little he was able
TO throw off the sand sufficiently to
breathe.
He was more wary next time and lay
still for an hour OF two until he felt
pretty sure that the grizzly had retired
from the spot. Very cautiously then
he worked himself free from the sand
and crept away.

Delegates WIND UP
WOMEN'S CONVENTION

DOUGLAS. Nov. S-(Speeial)-
The track team Of the high school
The fact that yesterday was rather
cloudy and murky with strong indica-
tons Of rain at most any time, it did
not deter the ladies here in attendance
at the convention of Arizona Women's
Clubs from putting in busy and at
the same time pleasant day. They as
.sembled at the high school building
and at 1880 proceeded to wind up the
business OF the convention, which
was completed shortly after noon.
The most important business trans
acted was the election of new officers,
which resulted as follows:
President-Mrs. Pugn, Yuma.
First Vice President-Mrs. George
Buxton. Bisbee.
Second Vice President-Mrs. D. 3.
Herd. Phoenix
Corresponding seeretary-Mrs. Gran
DALI Yuma
AuditoT-Mrs. Williams, Williams
Recording Secretary-Mrs. Wattles,
Douglas.
General Federation State Secretary
Mrs. Ruffner, Prescott.
Another matter of importance was
the changing of the month for hold
ing the annual convention from Ne
yember to January. This fact will al
low the year 1908 to pass without a
convention. The next one in January,
1909. win be held in Yuma.
After a light luncheon the delegates
proceeded in autos and on the electric
cars TO the Copper Queen smelter,
where they viewed with interest the
work of extracting the red metal from
the ore and turning it into ingots.
BY O'Clock the delegates were at
the handsome home of Mrs. H. B. Rice,
corner Of Tenth street and B avenue,
where an afternoon tea with dainty re-
freshments were partaken of. 1t was
a most enjoyable. informal function,
and many ladies' of Douglas not iden-
titled with clubdom were present.
Last evening the assembly hall OF
the high school was crowded by an ap-
preciative audience to listen to lee
ture by President Babcock. of the Uni
versity of Arizona, his subject being

Happiness From Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some Of US
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to- be as few
in number as they are disagreeable in
association. The vast majority of hu-
mans are normal and disposed, there
fore, in conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent of clouds;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes a cripple of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty of death, but
too little cognizance IS taken of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehen-
sion, which Is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
Harvey in North American Review
