Friendship May Cease.
Most Of the creatures are friendly, but
one can never tell at just what point
friendship ceases in the grizzly world.
Therefore the park authorities are hail

Department to pass them about the
country to whoever desires them alive.
Out in the Zoo at Rock Creek Park is
a genial feminine grizzly who was reared
in the wilds of the Yellowstone. She
grew quite sociable with gang Of road

camp to camp to nose over the garbage

curl UP in bed with the mule skinners
at night.
For long time it was problem what
to do with the congenial lady. She
showed extreme resentment over being
continually turned out of camp. The mat

makers left in comfort, by drivine her

LITTLE jack CHIEF, DEAD
All Powers of Medicine Men Failed to
Keep Him Alive.

Little Jack, - famous Indian chief.
is dead of articular rheumatism at the
Umatilla reservation. Little Jacks
squaw passed on to the happy hunting
grounds few hours before her husband.
The cause of the squaw s death is not
stated. Little Jacks death was pre-.
ceded by a period of excitement on the
reservation. Medicine. men from many
sections had been summoned to his bed
side. They danced for SO hours con-
tinuously, but their efforts were useless.
A feature of the passing of Little Jack
was the effort of three physicians from
this place to gain the consent of the
Indians to administer "white mans
medicine to the dying chief. The In
dams looked upon efforts of the ply
sicians as unwarranted interference, and
for time the affair had an ominous
aspect, but Major Swartzlander, agent
on the reservation, took a hand and
pacifed the Indians. Little Jack was
quite wealthy, his fortune being esti-
mated at $4,000.

the deposit or formation, the meer-
schaum here is not suitable for work
ing in the manner that is practiced in
the mines of Europe. 1t exists here in
grains instead of in solid blocks. The
company has done some business in
grinding the produce and shipping it
east, where it was solidifed and made
into pipes. Experiments have shown
that the meerschaum can be made more
valuable by being put through pro-
cess of refining.
