Mr.. Muir has a supreme contempt
for the cowardice of the wild ami
mails, especially bears and panthers.
why" be said, the panther is
the biggest coward in the world.
He will not stay on the ground in
front Of a decent pack Of hounds
fifteen minutes, when, if he were
courageous, he ought to whip al
most any number of dogs.
The bears are almost as cowardly.
By Just hollering at one / have

The funniest experience that /
ever had with bear,n continued
Mr.. Muir, as he began to mentally
chase them all over the corridor and
Hobbies of the Peabody Hotel, was
when / rode one through the cane
and down into a deep rayine on top
of a negro with a full pack on top
of all three of us.
In our country there are num-
Der of deep washes where the river
used to cut across. The cane hangs
over these and the long cane roots
stick out so far over the edges Of
the washes that it is almost impos-
sible to get out alone. My pack was
chasing a bear up and down the
bank of one of these washes and,
accompanied as | always am, by a
negro while hunting, | was passing
up and down the ravine, thinking
that the bear would cross and I
could get an easy shot. Finally tir-
ing of waiting for this, showed my
gun up into the cane on top Of the
bank and made the negro shove me
Eup after it.
Just as l gained a footing above

my gun before the bear ran between
my legs. To keep from falling I
grabbed its hair and here we went
Through the cane. 1t frightened the
bear into the highest speed that l
j have ever seen u bear travel in cane,
and / could not find good place
to get off. The negro ran in the
ravine opposite us and had the usual
negro luck, when the climax came.
| The bear decided to cross the
rayine, and as / had no means Of
altering bis course. he did 50. When
he landed in the bottom Of the ra-
vine it was right on top Of the ne
gro, and before the negro could get
from under the bear or | could get
from on top Of him, the whole pack
was on the two of us. For five min
utes it looked from the bites, the
dogs did not discern between us and
the bear. and in fact, / did not
blame them, because the situation
was so involved that even scarce

| Mr.. Muir says that while there
is yet the greatest abundance OF doe
and turkeys in his country the bears
are becoming scarce. He attributes
| this scarcity more to the prevalence
Of cattle and the accompanying COW
bells than to anything else. His
opinion is that bears are very Der-
vous and the constant changing Of
so many bells all around them has
caused them to seek other locations.

Mr.. s. o. Landry, recently of
Notnac, this parish, has moved per-
manentIy to New Orleans, where
he has been prominent in re-organ-
izing THE Chambers Agency, the
leading advertising agency OF this
portion Of the South.
Mr.. Landry has not only been
a successful business man, but has
been reader and thinker along
lines that have prepared him for a
high class OF service in the ield he
has chosen. He handles his pen
with a facility that has already
earned him considerable reputation
in the world Of publications, and il
is safe to predict his successful ca
reer.
Mr.. Landry was among the rep

A HappI Selection.

The Hon. Joseph E. Ransdell, OF
louisiana, has been slated by the
Democratic house for the chairman
chip of the important committee on
rivers and harbors and waterways.
A gentleman of unusual ability and
force, student, business man, and
debater Of ability, Mr.. Ransdell
should fill the position in way to
be of great value to the country, and
in a fashion to reflect credit on the
craftsmanship Of Louisiana.
The Democratic party is on trial
before the people Of the country.
Democrats have long lacked the OPP
portunity to demonstrate their abil-
ity for constructive and creative
craftsmanship. There is an impress
sion in certain circles in this coun-
try that the party is one OF simple
opposition and negation.
America is face to face with one
the greatest problems of its exist
ence. The railways cannot handle
our commerce, and years will be re-
quired for them to build up their
capitalization, to fairly adjust their
rates and put themselves in posi-
ton to secure funds needed for even
necessary new construction.
Meantime, with the opening OF
the Panama canal, the nation is
turning to world commerce. The
American merchant marine is to be
restored TO the seas. The long neg
lected rivers are to get cheap and
efficient transportation.
A Democratic house is to have the
responsibility before the people Of
working out these problems.
In degree the party will be
judged by the action and attitude
OF the rivers and harbcrs committee,
and it is therefore fortunate in the
choice Of Mr.. Ransdell. We only
hope that it will be as fortunate in
the selection Of its other chairmen
OF committees. New Orleans Item.

Milk gets dirty. whenever the cows
are allowed to wander through a
slough or any other dirty place, get
ting their tanks and udders wet and
muddy. Every hair on the cows belly
gathers thousands OF little living
plants. of the kinds known as bacteria
and yeasts. On returning to the barn
yard, the cows bring these germs of
evil home with them, and during the
milking. the dirt and germs are rub
he'd off and fall into the milk in
countless numbers.
AS long as the milk is warm, these
grow and increase In numbers very
rapidly, and, although they grow more
slowly If the milk IL cooled at once.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

If l would have them in water for a
long time. they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay a pin in them. After using all

three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.

Cement Talk No. I

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story Of
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss of human
lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by fire in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and fro
fighting systems are often inadequate, tho
main trouble lies in .finy, n,frtproof
building contraction. Experience has proved
that hreproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries hreproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against FIRE. Tho
use of cement in building is becoming more
and more common, due TO its hreproofness,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an Office
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. Tho use of UnivfrJai Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure cement of tho
best quality possible to manufacture. Uni1xr-
sal is handled everywhere by the best dealers

How to Eat Leather.

The Infamous Captain Morgan ana
his piratical crew were sometimes In
fight places at Panama and on one
occasion were reduced to eating their
leathern bags. "Some persons says
one of the company, Exquemelin
(whose narrative is reproduced In the
buccaneers In the West Indies'), VINO
never were out of their mothers kitch-
ems may ask how these pirates could
eat. swallow and digest these pieces
of leather, so hard and dry. Unto
whom only answer: That could they
once experiment what hunger, or. rath-
or. famine is, they would certainly ma
the manner by their own necessity, as
the pirates did. For these first took
the leather and sliced II in pieces. Then
did they beat 1t between two stones
and rub it, often dipping 1t in the wa
ter of the river. to render 1t by these
means supple and tender. Lastly, they
scraped off the hair and roasted or
broiled It upon the fire. And being
thus cooked they cut it into small NOR
sells and ate it. helping it down with
frequent gulps of water, which by
good fortune they had right at hand.

Keen In the Sunshine.

There are only two kinds of people in
the world-the people who live in the
shadow and gloom and those who live
on the sunny side Of the street. These
shadowed ones are sometimes called
pessimists, sometimes people of melan-
choly temperament; sometimes they
are called disagreeable people. But
wherever they go, their characteristic
is this--their shadows always travel on
before them. These people never bear
their own burden, but expose all their
wounds to others. They are all so
busy looking down for pitfalls and
sharp stones and thorns on which to
step that they do not even know that
there are any stars in the sky These
folks live on the wrong side of the
street. And yet it is only twenty feet
across to the other sidewalk, where
sunshine always lies.-Newell Dwight
Kills.
