in the twinking of an eye in case such an outburst should come.
 The sights of the Forbidden City, the home of the dowager empress and the emperor may well make one pause. The fine wall facing the British lega- tion-only yesterday, as it were. the center of the hottest fighting-the beautiful pagodas on the rising mounds and the yellow roof of the im- perial buildings make a picture of i'm pressive beauty. Behind these walls rests one of the most tragic figures in modern history, Kwang su, Emperor of China. the man who tried to hus- tie the East and who made a failure of it
 The future history of China still cen- ters around the personality of this one man. To-day he remains practically a prisoner, held in bondage by the strong and dowager empress. But when she dies it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Kwang Su may be- come one of the greatest forces of modern times. That he has charac- ter is well known, but the intri1ues of Chinese court life. it has been shown, have proved too strong for him over and over again. Peking Special to Washington Star.

in the thisket for nearly nine hours without food or drink. The actual chase of the bear occupied a little more than four hours.
 Dogs are seldom run two days in sue eession during a bear hunt Unlike a deer, Bruin keeps to the dense thickets when followed by dogs, and the under brush and briars lacerate the skins or the hounds until the dogs become too careful to be effective. They also be- come footsore from long races. They are also often injured by the bear During one fight last season six dogs out of eight In the chase were disabled by a big bear that wttghed six hundred pounds. They all recovered, however To guard against accidents of this kind the hunter usually empties his rife into the bear, for it is the wounded bear that kills and cripples dogs. The bear hunter often delivers the death shot with the gun only a few inches from the animals body A bear is seldom killed by a single shot, the one cap tIred by the writer being one of the few exceptions.
 The passing of the North American black bear is only a question of a few years. The Hooks boys and their friends killed sixteen in the Big Thick ct last year by persistent hunting, which was big record. Mir. Lilly, who has spent the greater portion of his life hunting, says that there are only fif- teen bear left in the Big Thicket and that there are but forty in all the southern bear territory including Tex as, Louisiana. Mississippi and Arkas~ sas. He does tho count the Florida bear, which belongs in different class
 The Big Thicket was originally about one hundred miles long and thirty miles wide, but the axe of the lumberman has reduced it to a tract about twenty miles long and twelve or fifteen miles in width, and even now the giant pines are being fellel within three-quartere of a mile of the hunting headquarters 0, the Hooks.

troops. Germany has a real fortress with moated sides and sloping walls and abuidant artillery; Italy rivals France and countries like Holland have raised palaces. America can boast the ugliest and the most uasuit- able legation, while England has the most artistic and best. England is content, and wisely, with the beauti- ful Chinese palace which so long headquarters. Even some of the mis- sionaries have caught the fever of dis play. The great Catholic cathedral as reparation by the Chinese is srief to every loyal Manchu. One American missionary society has even builded for itself a hospital and homes which rival the locations.
 The Marconi mast showing above the Italian legation, the many soldiers of many nations in the streets, the heavily guarded gateways of the ministerial quarters all tell their tale of uncertain outlook. The West is in Picking by sufferance, and evidently knows it even at this late date. IA very little, short spell of famine, the rise of real leader for the anti-Man chu party, the uncertainty following the death of a personality like the dowager empress, or something as yet unexpected, may again bring to the front the antt-foreign movement And then would come into play the Mar conf towers and an appeal to the na tions for more troops.
 The schools that cne sees in the main streets. the movements of the newsmen, the publication of the re- form journals and even the rise of European trained officials into favor all these things would be swept away

OF that country Mr.. Campbell stated:
"Wenatchee is one OF the most

delivered. There are from s5 to 100
teams coming in every day with
wheat. It IN the best wheat raised.

Some OF the finest apples I ever

estimated that 400 carloads will bs

about &1.225 per car. making the
sum Of nearly half million coming

the roundup of their beef cattle on
the South Half of the Colville Indian

had sold TO Stanton, the Spokane cold

700 head. to be delivered to the

Owing to the fact that Stanton
could not secure sufficient cars to
ship the whole bunch at one time.

the cattle was started to Coulee City
