NERVY BEAR HUNTING.
Hunter Followed Bruin Into a Cave
With a Torch and Got Him.

After three days chase the largest
bear killed near Wilkesbarre, Pa, was
shot the other day and was brought
to Wilkesbarre by a party Of hunters
who have been after bear In Bradford
county. The bears tracks were first
seen on Wednesday and We're fol-
lowed all that day, all the next and
until late into the next afternoon,
when he was located in what is known
as Indian cave, eighteen miles from
Mehoopany.
Various methods Of getting him out
failed, and then George Cassen, with
pine torch in one hand and a rife in
the other, entered. He located the
bear in far corner of the cave, threw
the torch at him and then by its light
fired three bullets into him and killed
him. The bear weighed when dressed
500 pounds.

An Unexpected Reply.

A very demure little Frenchwoman,
who teaches her native tongue in a
well known southern college, learned
recently, under embarrassing circum-
stances, that it is not always safe to
accept as a final standard of correct
English what one may casually hear.
One night at supper the president Of
the college announced to the assem-
bled young ladies and teachers that an
Informal musical program would be
given presently in the college chapel.
Turning to the dainty Parisienne,
who in addition to her other accom-
plishments plays the piano well, he
said.
Perhaps Nine. Petit will be so good
as to assist u.s."
The lady addressed arose and coyly
replied:

the SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa-e especially
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When 1t
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep OF health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet. hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
ny bite us we would do almost any
4 thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent It? Mr.. George Hayes, OF

THE ROLLER SKATE WALK.

New STYLE,

St. LOUIS society Girls Take Up q
New Style.
The ROLLER skate walk" is the very
latest style among society girls of st.
Louis. 1t is a cross between the mil
itary tread Of the chorus girl in the
comic opera and the glide of the pre-
mier toe dancer. 1t is the ideal walk.
1t is the kind of walk the drill ser
geants in the army take three years to
teach the soldiers. The ball of the foot
is planted first, the legs are kept
straight, with no wabbling of the
knees, the body is kept erect on the
hips. and as far as possible the walker
glides along.
The only marked difference between
the walk of the soldier and the roller
skate girl is that the soldiers shout
ders are kept erect and well back
The girl throws her shoulders forward
