AN INSTRUMENT OF PROGRESS.

Here's TO the flashing axe
That cleared a glorious way
For she men who fought and wisely wrought
road for an empires sway.
Hark TO the mighty crash
Its echoes are sounding still
Ihat brought the trees to the sturdy knees
Which We're backed by an iron will
Hark to the ehildrens cry,
In fancy he'd today,
When the red man yelled and -
The rifle held the ruthless foe at bay.
Rife, and axe. and spade.
Honor, and trust in God
These were the tools that made
The road that nation trod.
Thus have the men of the West
Sprung from gallant page,
And the power to hew. to dare and do
Is their priceless right of heritage.
Proud should the children be
That their fathers sireS were men
Who mapped line from brine 10 brine
With a flashing axe for a pen.
Then here's to the flashing axe
And the men of mettle true;
May its blade so bright be beacon llght

BEARS IN EUROPE.
They Plague the Herdsmen by Raiding
Their Flocks-Retaliation with Traps.


Although the last bear was shot in
Germany in 1885 near Traunstein in
Bavaria bear hunting and tripping still
goes on in the very heart OF Europe.
In Pennsylvania, Hungary, Bosnia and
Croatia, all mountainous regions. there
are hundreds of bears, and scores of
them are killed or caught every year.
They are the plague of the shepherds
and cattle herders who pasture then
fiocks among the hills They seem tn
fear neither dogs nor men and boldly
carry off sheep and calves into the woods
before the eyes of the watchers.
The peasants retaliate by using the
stolen animals as bait for the robbers
The bear seldom consumes the entire
carcass at one meal. He either burit~
the rest or hides it with leaves. to serve
another time. The country people know
this and they follow the bears trail To-
the place of concealment. When this is
found they determine the direction in
which he departed from his prey. know
ing he will return by the same patti
when he is hungry.
The trap is placed in this line about
ward from the hidden carcass. 1t is care
fully concealed with leaves and eras,
and Bruin cannot help stepping on ID
with either his fore or hind paws. When
he is securely caught the herdsmen. who
are mortally afraid of him, appear and
kill him AT leisure and in perfect safety,
Of course. the land owners and spor
ing class generally do NOT get their bear
in this cowardly way. They hunt with
dogs and shoot the game when it is yum
down.
But this is not easy work Althouar
there are plenty of bears in mountau
region, it Is not uncommon for a huntju-
party to travel n whole day without ger
