One day while wandering In the
pine woods on the slope Of Mount
Meeker l came upon two young grizz'
ly bears. Though they lodged about
as lively a chickens. at last cor.
nared them In a penlike pocket of
fallen trees.
Getting them into a sack was one
OF the lfveliest experiences l ever had.
Though small and almost starved.
these little orphans proceeded to
chew me up" after the manner Of
big grizzlies, as is told of them in
books. After an exciting chase and
tussle would catch one and thrust
him into the sack. In resisting he
would insert his claws into my
clothes, or thrust them through the
side of the sack; then, while I was
trying to tear him loose, or to thrust
him forcibly in, he would lay hold Of
finger. or take bite In my leg.
Whenever he bit T at once dropped
him, and then all began over again.
Their mother had been killed few
days before found them; so, Of
course, they we're famished and in
need of home; but so bitterly did
they resist my efforts that T barely
succeeded In taking them. Though
hardly as large as collie when he is
at his prettiest. they were nimble
athletes.
At last I started home, the sack
over my shoulder, with these lively
Ursus horribilis in the Bottom: Of 1t.
Their final demonstration was not
needed to convince me Of the extra
ordinary power of their Jaws. Never
theless, while going down steep
slope one managed to bite into my
back through sack and clothes, SO ef-
fectively that responded with yell.
Then I fastened the sack at the end
Of a long pole, which I carried across
my shoulder, and was able to travel
the remainder Of the distance to, my
cabin without another attack in the

There was no hesitation between
courses; they simply gobbled the food
as long as kept it before them.
Jenny and Johnny were pets be-

alert, Johnny was the wiser and more

peritonitis had resulted.

FINGER PRINTS TELL /: /. TALEs
Absolute identification Certain Wl,sn

f.. tho Trail. ~. = =

Many years ago Mark Twain, IN
his delightful story OF '"Puddin' Head.
Wilson," declared that every mans
identity. and often. even his destiny
is always on his finger tips. Twice
on one day this has been recognized
in different parts Of the country. Il
| was found that the men who used q
launch for the purpose of taking dyna-
mite from the Giant powder works
were not the McNamaras. Several
finger prints completely exploded the
theory. They are, however. the tracks
by which others may be overtskeu.
There could be no doubt that ed
gar R. Jay" arrested in St. Louis for
forgery a week after he had mar
ried, is Jay Gould Hay, alias Jay
Gould, alias julie Lee. He can not
escape the identity Of his finger prints
at the Indiana and Missouri reforma-
tories.
1t was only last year that there
were two remarkable warnings to the
criminal class to wear gloves. Charles
Crfspi was arrested and convicted for
burglary in New York solely because
he left behind on window glass four
finger marks. They were only few;
hairline etchings, but they singled out
Of millions of people the only one
who could have made them. It was
difficult to obtain a jury that would
convict on finger print evidence alone,
but when it was shown that there is'
only one chance In sfxty-four billions
that two finger prints will be alike,
that there was no great likelihood Of
any two Of the 1.600000,000 people
now on the earth being able to- make
the same finger markings, the prison :;
er gave up. Again, in New York.. was
the remarkable case growing out OF
the murder of Isaac VogeI, an timer
ate jewel broker. It was single i'm
print of q finger on q silver cigarette
case that led to the arrest of Joseph
Roberts.
Thus far finger print evidence is
associated in the public mind with
criminology. But the day may come
when people registering to vote will
be required to press their thumb

phia reformers, who are battling
against the foater and duplicate vot-:
ing system, advocate it. They insist.
that it is only a, step beyond requiring
the voter to write his name at regis
tration and again-by the side Of the
first signature-when he comes to-
vote. 1t is thought the finger print
would stop floaters.

A word Of caution may not be out
Of place in this connection. Turning
a hungry sheep on wet rye il very
likely to result in bloating. Therefor
if the sheep do not have constant ac-
cess to the rye field. be sure that
their appetites are fairly well satisfi-
ed and that all due and raindrops
are dried off before the sheep are
turned in.
Another fact worth considering by
Alberta wheat growers is that the
largest wheat growing area Of the
province lies close to the greatest al
falfa exporting district. AS was
shown by the sheep fattening exper-
iment at Lethbridge during the win
ter 1911-l2, alfalfa hay and wheat
screenings make an excellent ration
for fattening sheep and lambs.
The present is Z favorable time to
secure foundation stock, because
they can still be purchased at moder-
ate prices. The sheep ranchers of
Alberta and the western states are
reducing their herds because Of scar
city Of pasture and the large number
going to market are keeping prices
at low level; but once this reduction
OF herds stops, prices will rise. They
will probably not soar as have the
prices Of cattle and horses, because
the frozen mutton of Australia and
New Zealand will be drawn on to
prevent excessively high prices, but
the trade that refuses to accept the
frozen article is sufficiently large to
admit of a material advance in NUT
ton prices. and this advance is sure
to take place as soon as the big rang
es have been depleted.

The case that was brought be-
fore Justice Wilson some weeks
ago by the Faris Engineering &
Construction Co., against Messrs
Griggs and Reynolds tor securing
money under false pretences and
who had their hearing some time
ago was brought up the first of
the week and Justice Wilson
gave them their sentence. The
jury brought in a verdict of
guilty for one of the parties and
the other pleaded guilty. They
were both given twenty days
each in the county Jail but the
sentence dated back so that they
have practically served their term
during the time they have been
held in the custody of the county
awaiting sentence. The delay in
handing down the sentence was
caused by the absence of Attor-
ney for defendants, w. L. Dunn,
who was called to Brigham City
and could not get back earlier
and the delay was agreed to by
both Attorneys in the case.

AND WE CAN PROVE 1T.

AND WE CAN PROVE 1T.
Hair troubles, like many other diseases
have been wrongly diagnosed and alto
gether misunderstood, The hair itself is
not the thing to be treated, for the reason
that it is simply a product of the scalp
and wholly dependant upon its action.
The scalp is the very soil in which the
hair is produced, INJURED and grows, and
it alone should receive the attention if re-
suits are to be expected. 1t would do no
earthly good to treat the stem of plant
with view of making it grow and be-
come more beautitul-the soil in which
the plant grows must be attended to-
Therefore, the scalp in which the hair
grows must receive the attention if you
expect 1t to grow and become more beau
tiful.
Loss of hair is caused by the scalp dry
ing up, or losing its supply of moisture or
nrtriment: when badness occures the
scalp has simply lost all its nourishment.
leaving nothing for the hair to feed up
on IA plant or tree would die under SINH
lar conditional
The natural thing to do in either case
is to replenish the soil or scalp as the
case may be, and your crop will grow and
multiply as nature intended 1t should.
Mildrednia Hair Remedy makes the
scalp clean, healthy and wholesome. 1t
quickly penetrates the pores and stimu-
lates the hair glands and scalp tissues.
thereby promoting the growth ofthe hair
Its action is quick and the hair soon
shows the effect of its wonderful cleans
ing and stimulating qualities.
One 50 cent bottle is enough to convince
you of its great worth as a hair growing
and hair beautifying rsmedy--try it and
see for Yourself.

when they are on dry feed they
