BRuiN OBTAINS HIS SUPPER
Hunter Describes the Clever Work Of
Hungry Bear In Catching
Salmon.

One year, the berries being de-
stroyed. many bears visited the river
for fish. was walking up the river
shore one evening about sunset watch
ing for deer. Rounding bend
saw, perched upon a fiat rock some
few feet from the shore, a large black
bear. | could not tell at first what he
was doing. He was STOPPING down
with one paw in the water waving it
gently to and fro | watched closely
and saw, just beyond his reach,
large male salmon, so nearly dead
that he could not swim The bear
was using his paw to create an eddy
which would draw the fish within his
grasp. Slowly the salmon drifted to-
ward the rock.
1t was amusing to watch how care
fully the bear moved his paw so as
not to frighten his prey. At last the
fish came within reach, Bruin reached
over, gave it a quick slap, seized 1t in
his jaws and leaped ashore. The whole
performance tickled me so that let
him go off, the salmon dangling In his
mouth. without even taking a shot at

TASTING WINE sca LIVING
Strange Calling Followed BY Women
Born With Delicate Pslates is
Very Lucrative.

OF the list OF strange callings fol-
: lowed by women that of wine tasting
is one of the most curious and lucrs-
tive. As a matter of fact, Mile Col
linere, whose services are In great de-
mand In France, Germany and Italy
as wine faster, is said to make an
income of about $4,000 year. many
firms employing her for regular work
and frequently for special duty.
Only half dozen wine tasters have
been known to history, the most re-
nowned OF these being the wife OF q
famous London wine merchant, Nine.
Pommery, who died In Paris twelve
years ago, and Signora Sousa, who has
great reputation in Spain on ac-
count of her judgment and knowledge
Of wine.
Wine tasters. 1t appears, are born.
not made, and must possess the gift
of a rare and delicate palate. To
this, Of course, must be added a knowl-
edge Of wines. Mile. Collinere's taste
is so fine and her knowledge of wines
such that she can discern from the
first taste of wine just where the
grapes grew from which 1t was made,
whether they were raised in Califor-
MIA or in the vineyards of France, Ger
many, or elsewhere. She can easily
detect adulteration of any sort, or II
there is blend and OF which wines,
and can tell the age of wine almost
to day. AS matter of fact, there
are no secrets that bottle of wine
can withhold from this remarkable
Frenchwoman once she has had q
spoonful Of it in her mouth.
She does not swallow the wine. In
fact, she is teetotaller, and IL she
were to drink wine would lose her sub
tie magic of taste. Furthermore, she
is obliged to take the greatest care
Of her health. She must be we'll in
order to do her work, for her sense
loses its cunning when she gets out
Of health.-Tit-Bits.

Admits He Killed His step-Mother

Cherokee, okla, July 25.-Meek
Ralston, Jr., aged 20 years, when taken
into custody today confessed before
any charge had been made against
him, to the murder of his step-mother,
Mrs. Minnie Ralston, near Helena,
early Monday morning
He said he hit her on the head with
piece OF iron pipe and then struck
her with an axe and had to cut her
throat with a razor. Becoming frigh-
tened at the sight of blood, he fled to
a neighbors house and gave the alarm,
declaring burglar had killed Mrs,
Ralston. It appears that young Raj
ston is of an abnormal temperament,
with strong leaning to religious
mania.
