One Ihinu He Could Do.

During the South African war there was a young officer just from Sand hurst, who was attached to Gen. French's staff. The young fellow has himself achieved some distinction since then, and shall be nameless. At that time he was fresh and fidgety, and was always imagining a constant menace of attack by the Boers, whom he invariably pronounced "Bores." " This pronunciation Gen. French had in vain tried to correct. and it grad ually got on his nreves. One day the young officer came to the general to report that he believed he could make out through his field-glass quite as many as 20 "Bores" hid in the rocks above his camp. "Bores, you say?" inquired the general Yes. sir Bores. Can I do anything. sir?" "Yss don't add to them."

Mars the Next Field.

There are many who will part from the north pole with regret. All their lives it has seemed the one unconquer able salient of natures fortress, the very synonym of the impossible goal of human endeavor With the pole itself succumbing, the world is no longer the same, and everything seems within the realm of mortal achieve ment. We must now think of talk ing with Mars with more respect The professors mirrors may prove any day a reality

Chanqed Farm Life.

The dull silence that hung over that New England dinner table has been lifted of late. It is gone like the dew in the sunlight of the new social influences The isolation of the farm was the chilling cause that drove men into the cities. Now, by telephone and free mail delivery, all the warm world currents are being carried to the country and are vitalizing the ru- ral community into a life that is rich and abundant in the variety of it's in terests. A real heart hunger has been answered. Over hill and down dale flashes the impulse that electri- fies existence with the thrill of human life touching other human life.-De- lineatOr

must have moved my rife up into a shooting position somewhat clusmi- ", or he heard one of the Indians stir ring behind me, for, with two great plunges backward, he was out of the river in a trice and shuf1ling along the cliff-hanks into some short bushes. He appeared to be the largest black bear I had seen, and his coat waved" as he ran. I was most careful with my first shot, but the beast "skidded" sideways on some wet alders just as he entered the bushes and my shot was a clean miss. l then saw that if he continued in his present line he must emerge and cross about 15 yards of open mud under the cliff, so that during the time he was scrambling through the bushes I took two steps down the bank and obtained my ia vorite shooting position, sitting with my back to a log. l was quite ready for the bear immediately he cleared the bushes at shuffling run, and GOV ering him with the white sight I let go. The big fellow stumbled forward about 50 yards, and then rolled over on his side uttering two or three baby like whines, which can only be de scribed as pitiful. I now ran up the stream. and crossed where there was fallen tree, soon reaching the bear, which was quite dead. He proved to be a splendid old male measuring five feet six inches, and would have, should guess, weighed at least soc pounds.
 | So we had a great rejoicing and had obtained a grand specimen of this beautiful animal We had a ter, rible business getting the bear from the stream to the river. I wanted to 1 take him to camp complete so that we could skin, draw and measure in com fort. and it was only after cutting a pole and slingin., him on it that the entire staff succeeded in conveying the huge carcass yard by yard across the sand banks to the river, where our canoe was in waiting. The Indians soon made an immense fire and after generous supper we all set to work on our several tasks and the relation Ol Dtdl olollS pOlH SiC"oohiC anu hu morous. The following day was a continuous snowstorm, so l declined to move and made the Indians finish the scraping of the bears skin-no little task.
 In the northwest you do not kill many things, but when you do get a good specimen of one of the great northern beasts it is something to be proud of. Every occasion on which the hunter is successful is a red-letter day forever afterwards and indelibly stamped on the memory. So far I had been successful in obtaining all the large American mammals, except the grizzly bear, and that is beast of such elusive character that no man can say when and where his chance will occur. Baron Vos Plessen, an en- thusiastic Danish hunt ., told friend of mine that it cost hhL over $10.000 before he saw one, and then-he missed it. But he killed two after wards. Every hunter that ever set foot in the Rockies or the northwest thinks he is going to see grizzly round the first corner, while few hope to goodness the bear will not see them.

When EnoIard Had Lotteries,

It was not until 1926 that the gov ernment lotteries were abandoned in Britain. For the thirty years preced- ing an average annual profit of over S1,725, 900 was accrued, one contract or alone spending s150,000 in adver- tisements in single year. The money thus raised was usually, for particu- lar purpose, such as the improvement; of London, the purchase of Tompkins picture gallery, or the repair of vari- ous harbors.
 From the seventeenth century to the reign of George w. the crown re- peatedly drew considerable revenues from such sources.

ERA OF HIGH PRICES.

II hish prices are a sign of prosperity,
good times are at hand. The United
States steel corporation has added
liberal amount to the cost To the con-
sumer on some of its products, and no.
tice has been given of a raise all along
the line by the managers of this good"
trust. Sugar was advanced 10 cents per
100 pounds ON Monday, and cloth con-
tanning real wool will soon be out of
reach of the consumer. There seems TO
be no help for it under present condi-
tons. President Taft announced the
other day that lowering of the tariff
rates would not bring about reduc-
lion in prices. but would prevent them
from going any higher. The rates have
not been reduced, and up 50 the prices.
The Mckinley boom era was followed
by a crash. That another period OF
stock watering and high prices viii re-
suit in another financial upheavaI is the
belief OF the Wall Street Journal. which
says:
There appears to be little resisting
power in our commercial system against
the steady advance in the prices of COM

power from underneath were lifting the

modities are accompanied by a concur
rent increase in the salaries. wages and
incomes Of people, the purchasing power
Of the recipients is materially reduced.
In personal expenditure, in the house
hold budget, and in the management of
estates, this becomes self-evident in a
period of rising prices.
a second result of advancing prices
in a country like the United states is
that it makes this d relatively dear
market in which to buy. This is true
provided a corresponding advance in
the neutral markets Of the world has
not occurred. Under International COM
petition the tendency is to force prices
down in outer markets, while in the DO
nestle markets there may be no such
force at work. The domestic cost of
production, as it advances, makes il all
the more difficult to meet the cut of
competitors i'm foreign trade. Specula-
ton in our wheat trade helped to force
prices, SO far out of the international
level during the past year as practically
to throw China back upon her rice as
the cheaper Of the two foods. The Amer
lean flour trade in China was virtually
destroyed.
other results Of high prices especial
ly when these prices are favored by
tariff legislation, are popular discomfort,
monetary imitation and corporate specu-
lation, from all of which in due time
panic is natural sequel The makers
of prices have much 10 do with deter
mining the length of the cycle"
The United States is d wonderfully
rich country, and its recuperative
powers are great. Nevertheless there is

and that limit is fast being reached.
