A SMART BEAR.
How He Fooled the Sailors Who
Sought to Trap Him.

The captain of Greenland whaler
being anxious to procure bear, with,
oat wounding the skin, made trial Of
the stratagem Of laying the moose OF
a. rope in the snow and placing q
piece of meat within it. A bear rang
ing the neighboring ice was soon en-
tfced to the spot by the smell Of the
dainty morsel. He perceived the bait,
approached and seized it in his
mouth; but his foot at the same time,
by jerk Of the rope, being entangled
in the moose. he pushed it of with his
paw, and deliberately retired. After
having eaten the piece he had carried
away with him, he. returned. The
moose, with another piece OF meat, be.
ing replaced, he pushed the rope aside,
and again walked tfiumphantly: OF
With his capture. A third time the
moose was laid; but excited to eau
ton by the evident observations Of the
bear, the sailors buried the, rope be-
meath the snow, and laid the bait In q
deep hole dug in the center. The bear
once more approached, and the sailors
were assured of their success. But
'Bruin. more sagacious than they ex-
pected, after snuhing about the piece
for 4 few moments, scraped the snow
away with his paw, threw the rope
aside, and again escaped unhurt With
hie prize. ~s : ,...

Ultra Chic Note
Just Now in Paris

The ultra chic note in Paris just
now Is the contrast Of tones between
the coat and the skirt. For the most
part the coats are coquettishly shaped,
with open fronts, disclosing more or
less Of the pretty bodice. This fash
ion, now thoroughly accepted, is also
an economical one, for what is easier
than to change slightly last sea
sons skirt to suit the prevailing
modes, and, with velvet coat of
some nice, contrasting color, an up-to-
date costume is achieved? The
latest fancy Is to have these silk or
velvet coats made sleeveless. A last
years princess gown of fine gray
broadclOth is made this year to look
quite new by the addition of half
long coat Of bright green velvet. The
sleeves Of q bolero that belonged to
the gown serve for the coat. for their
shape Is quite correct. Wide lace
frills fall from them now, and lace
frills f1ll the open front. With this
costume is worn wide brimmed hat
Of green velvet. The velvet is gath
cred full over the brim above q lin
ing Of pale pink tulle. There is a
big mob crown. and between crown
and brim curls long green feather,
held on one side by clasp Of green
and gold enamel
Often these velvet coats have
sleeves composed entirely of lace.
One such is Of purple velvet, worn
with a skirt Of gray crepe-a gray
so pale as to be nearly white. The
lace of the sleeves, overlapping
hounces. 10 Of the same grayish white
tint.
One of the original ideas of the mo-
ment Is the "Fatma' sash. 1t is
worn with a plain long skirt. 1mag-
inc long, wide length of black satin,
carried loosely about the hips and
knotted carelessly in the back, leav-
ing long fringed ends. Its upper edge
touches the belt line, but it is en-
tirely about the body. There is moth.
ing newer and at the same time more
charming. 1t must be worn with
gown Of decided color, like cerise,
rose, pale blue, or tender green, and it
Is always black

F1e~ katherine's Visit to Grandmoth.
er Turned Out 70 Joy Of Both.

1t all happened Just like = story,
and when Katherine told Of it after
ward she always said it was the most
interesting tale she could recall.
Katherine was Is. and when her
father and mother died way down in
the southern part of California, there
was no one but Uncle Mark, her "a
Tiers partner, to look after her. At
least, there was no one else but Grand
ma Martin in New York, and a grand
mother who had never taken any in
terest in you since you were born, and
ut that distance, too, could hardly be
called anybody. But Uncle Mark de.
cided differently.
You can come back here, child"
he said, "and Heaven knows you will
be welcome. Your father has left a
tidy fortune in my hands; but I think
you grandmother should know all
about you and have a chance to look
upon you. should she so DESIRE
Katherine knew that her grand
mother had disapproved of her fathers
and mothers marriage, but she: did
not ask Uncle Mark anything; unless

Breathing Exercise
for Graceful Necks

For years a certain exercise has
been practiced by a family of Virginia
beauties, known the country over for
their beautiful, graceful necks, says
the Delineator. 1t is so simple that
every woman should know it. Here it
is:
Every morning before the sun is
nlgn, the girls arise and stand before
the window of their bedroom. They
draw In deep, full breaths of the fresh,
dew'laden atmosphere. Then, rising on
the toes, another deep breath is drawn
In. This time 1t is held, and while the
mouth Is kept tightly closed the breath
Is forced against the throat and neck
muscles while Is is counted. AS the
heels slowly come down to the ground
the breath Is forcibly expelled, always
through the open mouth.
10 the beginner in beauty culture.
This exercise is likely to bring on an
attack OF dizziness. But do not be
alarmed. 1t is simply because so much
oxygen Is forced into the lungs that
the scores of little air cells, hereto
lore empty. are. quite filed to over
flowing. This STARTS the blood rushing
at such a madpace that. one is, for
the time being, quite drunk with the
unusual exhilaration.
II, for two weeks, night and morn
ing. this exercise Is practiced ten
times In succession, you will note a
decided improvement. Distressing
hollows will begin to take on
natural curves and angles to assume
lines of grace.

A Fancy Coat.

Gray cloth can be made into a beau
tiful coat, or cape-coat, by using a
mandarin coat pattern for the purpose.
II designed for evening wear a coat
of this description can be lined
throughout with pale shell pink silk,
quilted II desired, and trimmed on the
outside with gray soutache braid, while
a few coral ornaments can be sewed
among the applique patterns to har-
monize with the pink lining. The
sleeves being wide, the lining should
be of pink silk, with the edges bound
with gray satin to match the coat.
Large silver buttons of the hligree
pattern would: be additional trimming.
A gray coat Of this description was
made collarless and finished with q
chinchilla boa.

girl went on, you may really like
her, but her. heart may be true to those
who have loved and cared for her al
these years. knew one of those
wild eastern girls who was really the
most faithful creature 1 ever saw"
That night there was a sudden
awful crash as the train was tearing
on: shrieks filled the air, and people
were hurled hither and yon. Sur
prised and shocked, Katherine found
herself among a lot Of debris on tho
roadside. with an excited crowd pressing
around and calling out orders. Fear
full as the collision had been. there
was less loss. Of life than one might
have expected. but many were In
jured, and great excitement prevailed:
Fortunately, Katherine had escaped
anything worse than a bad shaking
up, and with the knowledge came de-
sire to know how her companion had
Jared. She began to hunt around
among the groups awaiting carriages
to bear them away, and soon she found
her former seatmate. The. dear old
lady was pale and trembling, and
when she saw. Katherine she stretched
forth welcoming hand.
MY DEAR she said, my leg IL
broken. They are going to take me
to the nearest hospital, but you are
able to go on?"
"Yes," whispered the girl; 'can l
do anything for you?"
when you reach New York go to
3S Terrace place. will not send a
telegram; after all, there is no one but
the servants to care. Tell them about
all this delay, and when that-that
granddaughter of mine arrives, tell the
servants to make her comfortable un-
til l can get on. Poor child! She
will have a rather dreary time waiting.

eyes. "You have been so good to an
old woman, my dear!" The feeble
hands were clutching Katherine's. Il
shall never forget you. Had my grand
daughter been like you, how happy we
might have been!"
Katherine smiled even In the face
Of this grim disaster.
"Grandmother!" she whispered, with
her warm lips on the cold hand she
held; dear grandmother, you have
never guessed that-that l might be
your granddaughter"
The old lady forgot her broken leg
and almost leaped to her feet. Kath-
crime held her back.
Nov that you see me, gran6noth-
err she said, do you approve?"
my dear! My DEAR" whispered
the weak voice, Il do believe can
stand anything now! BY and by we
will 60 home together!"
But each year l must visit Uncle

mother, but my heart will always be

one; "she don't know the child"

A feeble voice was indeed repeating
that name over and over-the voice
of wasted woman stretched on a low
bed.

human frame could become 80 attenu-

Don't come in," she said, turning
quickly to Egbert and Fannie. "There,

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
With Eczema-Her Limb Peeled and

tlon Was Believes
Life Saved by Cuticura.

II have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for a bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut of. At
this time my leg was peeled from tho
knee. my foot was like a piece of raw
flesh, and had to walk on crutches.
I bought set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the first two treatments tho
swelling went down, and In two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. Ihave
now been cured over seven years, and
but for tho Cuticura Remedies I
might have lost my life. Mrs. J. b.

A sense of nearness to her risen
Lord, such as she had never known,
thrilled her soul.
She felt that she stood in "Jennie's"
