Bear Auue.

Speaking of buck fever " said a survey official. reminds me of bear ague. Never heard of 1t, eh? Well, l first encountered 1t in Wrangel mar rows, Alaska. number of years ago. We were on the old surveying steamer Patterson.
 Just as We rounded a point of land not more than 200 yards distant big black bear was seen on the beach looking at us. Eight men took up rifles at once and were about to shoot when told them to wait and fire all at once in a voIley when l gave the order. They all took careful beads on the beast. Ready, firen l shouted.
 "There was a rattle of musketry as the eight pieces were discharged, and every one looked to see the animals death throes. There was the bear run ming up the hill as lively as a jack rab- bit. Not a shot had hit him. Bear aguc. that's all Every mans hand was trembling so he couldn't hit a house. Buck fevcrs nowhere along side of it."-Sau Francisco Call.

WILL PRAISE CUTICURA
 AS LONG AS SHE LIVES

"Some four years ago l had the mis- fortune to have my feet get sore. The doctors could not tell me what it was. l used everything l could hear or think of out all to no avail. The feet were all cracked across the bottom as if you had taken a knife and cut them every whichway. They would peel up, and, oh, myl how they did hurt when l would try to walk - which ] was not able to do for a long time. One day one of our neighbors came to our house and asked what was the matter. ] showed him my feet and he said he had some CutiCura Ointment which would heal them up. There was only enough to apply once, but l found 1t helped me SO much that l sent for @ set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, costing one dollar, and to my great joy, my feet were cured and have never troubled me since. l shall praise Cuticura as long as l live for the great help 1t has been.

Many dog teams will be used, and this will doubtless be found the most convenient and practicable way to travel.-Tanana Tribune of Nov. 13.

Trials.

ne trial or these mufuer cases
the past week caused several SEN
sations and were the gossip of the
Town aud Parish, and while some
citizens were made glad and hap
by by the result, they were the
causes of much condemnation and
severe criticism.
Sheriff Broussard received the
bulk of the criticism and condem.
nation ms upon him was placed the
responsibility for this failure of
justice.
When the jury panel in the case
of Champagne was exhausted, Dis
lrict Attorney Muller had exhaus-
ted his six challenges, and he said
II am now handicapped"
Judge Simon ordered the Sheriff
t" personally summon fifty good,
competent and true men.
The Sheriff picked from st. Mar
tinville two men who proved
to be against capital punishment.
one known to be against hanging
on circumstantial evidence, one
who had been excused by the
Court not being able to stand to-
bacco smoke, one who was on the
grand jury aud one was on the
Coroners jury in the same murder
case, and one or two others. The
balance were taken from the cOun-
try, particularly 4th and 9Th wards
aud instead of being competent,
proved that most of them could
not speak English.
The evidence given was conclu-
sive against Champagne and when
the jury reported verdict of not
guilty, the Judge after some re-
marks discharged them and said
that the execution of justice in
this Parish was ii failure and re-
proa,.h To The citizens.
H.. said that it WAS impossi-
BILE for the officers of the Court to
administer JUSTICE unless it had
the assistance of the citizens.
District Attorney Muller assis-

Judge.

cessity for him to try to have JUS

form their duty and demand duty
and enforcement of the law from,
the officers who failed to perform
their duties. He demanded of the
Court that the trial of Albert Das-
pit be discontinued and that the
Court instruct the jury to return
verdict of not guilty, which was
done on the bench, after the Jury
had heard several witnesses.

George Altenburg went To Ann
Arbor last week Friday, where he
enters the U. of NJ, for regular
literary course. George was member
of the Belding High School, class of
'07, has had two years experience in
teaching and has now entered the
university without conditions, which
is credit to our schools and his faith
fulness as student. He is a young
man who has forseen the value of
education and is striving for it.
Most of our boys know the hours
he has spent in stores and doing odd
jobs that he might earn the few ''sheck-
les that would keep him in school.
Now, after two years teaching and
with the other ways he has managed
TO earn money, he has been admitted
into Michigan's greatest school Of
learning, and when he again comes
forth he will bring with him all
stuff which brings honors, and some
day we will see him stepping out into
the world, great man.
Boys, read this Look at what this
young man is doing and what OBJ
stacles he has had TO overcome TO
reach the heighth on the ladder
where he is today. Get out of the
ditch! DO not think you are smart
enough now, but take all advantage
possible of the schools which are open
TO you here. Push yourself TO the
front and do not sit down TO do the
dirty work, smoke cigarettes and use
cuss words. You are living in an age
when you can be somebody and should
take every advantage TO gain that
point.
