a lost COW in the woods adjacent to

north Of Kinney, Mary McInnes, If
teen years old, encountered black
bear with two well-grown cubs. She
was almost upon the animals before
she saw them.
Screaming, the glrl scrambled over

ragged bear coming after her. Coming
to small tree she grasped the lower
boughs and drew herself up until out

hung around the tree and made sew
eral attempts TO climb it but its eff
forts were failures, owing to the small
girth Of the trunk. which prevented
the brute from getting solid grip
The weather was very cold. and as
the evening wore on 1t became almost
impossible for the girl to retain her
hold on the boughs through cramps
IN her arms and the stiffness from
cold.
When darkness came on the par

ed and started out with lanterns to
find the girl. calling loudly as they
proceeded through the woods Miss
McInnes heard the calls and endeav-
ored to answer them, but at first
found 1t impossible to make even the
slightest sound because Of the cold
and nervousness. as the searchers
drew nearer, however, she was heard
calling family. The bears must have
been frightened of by the lantern
light, as nothing was seen of them by
the rescuing party.
Miss McInnes collapsed when taken
from her perilous position. She had

DIAMONDS POUR INTO u. S.
s3s,5oooco Worth of Precious Stones
Brought In In One Year at
New York.

New York-Despite the high cost OF
living, the American public has not
checked at all It's demand for dia-
monds. pearls and other precious
stones. During the year ending June
80 the importations of those gems
through the port of New York reached
q total of S39,500,000
This IS In addition to S10,000,0OO
worth of uncut stones which are sepa-
rately listed by the appraisers agents.
The total lacks only few figures ct
constituting a new record.
The heavy importations of rough
diamonds during the fiscal year reflect
a growth in the diamond-cutting in
dustry in this country where some Of
the finest stones are being cut at pres
ert. There IS a duty of 10 per cent.
on cut diamonds, while the rough
product is allowed free entry.
A jewelers. review of the year shows
that there has been only one official
advance of per cent. in the price CT
diamonds. but there have been ether
indirect advances in that time.
