and Infatuated animal to flight BY
merely waving his arms and casting
piercing glances at the advancing
enemy. Holmes tells the story thus:
Il had been way up In north cen
trail Alaska with several scientists
looking over the coal fields when one
OF our party saw bear. He was q
big fellow; you probably know that
the largest bears to be found any
where in the world are in Alaska, and
he wasn't great distance from us.
"One Of the boys who carried a gun
took careful aim and fired. The bull
let struck the bear in the left hind leg.
With roar the bear leaped into the
air and within few minutes was hot
on our trail. We all ran.
For some reason the bear, with his
head low and growing all the while,
paid no attention to the other men
and bolted for me. ran as fast as /
could with the bear after me. would
look back every few steps and soon I
found that, although the bear was
limping, be was getting over the
ground pretty rapidly and was stead
lily gaining.
AT last when saw that could not
escape and that was losing strength
and becoming winded rapidly. turned
around and faced the bear. He seemed
surprised that had given up the
chase and stopped short within twenty
feet of me.
Il looked at him, got his eye and
motioned to him with my hands.
Strange as 1t may seem, that bear,
mad az he was. stood motionless for
minute or two--it seemed an hour to
me-and finally with loud grunt
limped away.
He had not gone more than hun
dred yards until one Of the boys-the
one who wounded him-flred second
shot and killed the bear instantly.
1T was Just a case of blur with
me. tried some hypnotism on that
bear as a last resort and using the
slang expression, I got away with it.
will admit ! was scared. had a
right to be. When a boy used to
read up on hypnotism just for the fun
of the thing and now realize that it
was time well spent, for IL hadn't
done what i did / really think that
bear would have made a meal OF me.
Some of my friends up In Alaska
skinned that bear and have promised
to send me his hide for souvenir

Want New Colorado Park.

The establishment OF a national
park in Colorado. totally different In
character. 1t is said. from any exist
ing park. and much closer to the CEN
ter of population than any of the pres
emit reservations. is recommended in q
number OF letters received by Score
tary of the Interior Fisher.
THE general idea Of having large
park at OF near the place proposed APP
peals to me personally" said Secre-
tary Fisher. but before such action
could be taken It would be necessary
to have an examination made OF the
territory. Therefore It would be nec-
essary TO submit the matter to con.
gress, as the department has no avail
able money even for the survey"
The park as proposed would include
an area OF about 100000 acres. Por.
lions of Grand. Jackson. Larimer and
Boulder counties would be included
and the park would take in Longs
Peak. Grand lake and the canyons Of
the Big Thompson river.

The United States took possession
Of Cuba Jan.1. 1899. and set the Gu
bans up in business, but in 1906 was
forced to intervene to put down a
revolution. President Taft was then
Governor General of Cuba and in his
report suggested that Cuba should
be annexed. In 1909 the Cubans
were again left to themselves and
now in three years another occupa-
ton is necessary. Perhaps the time
has come.

MAKES SHIPS UNSUITABLE
New Invention That Is Being Tried
Out on American War
Vessels.

An invention for keeping water
from entering ships through holes by
means Of compressed air is being
tested on board the battleship North
Carolina. Captain G. G. Marsh, com
mander of the North Carolina. thinks
that the use Of the apparatus will pre-
vent vessels from going to the bot
tom following collisions. or when hit
by torpedoes or shells, and declares it
win revolutionize marine warfare.
The invention is merely an adaptation
to the compartments of ships of the
science of air pressure as already APP
piled to tunnel building. 1t was de-
veloped by one Of the engineers Of
the subway in this city.

On The Wrong Track.

Editor of the Sentinel II have been
reading with great deal of interest recent
articles in the papers on the saloon evil.
The writers. 1t seems to me, like all good
people opposing this evil, are on the wrong
track. According to my way Of thinking,
the remedy does not lie in cOndemning the
manufacturer or the wholesaler or the re-
taller Of intoxicating liquors. and submit
the following for discussion by your readers ::
LIST. Instead Of cOndemning the saloon
keeper, condemn his patrons.
End. Instead Of licensing the saloon
keeper as now. license his patrons.
The total revenue can be made about
the same, and we will at once put the sa-
loon on higher plane by compelling all
drinkers to have drinkers license. The
treating evil will disappear, as will also
the back door. the painted door and screens
now used for protection Of the hypOcrite.
No one will be deprived OF his liberties to
drink and drunkenness, drunken disturb
ances, neglect Of homes etc. will all dis
appear when known they will cause a rev.
ocation of the drinkers license Proper
safeguards can be thrown around the origi-
nal issuing Of this personal license to drink
and its renewal dependent upon the action
and conduct of the holder Thousands
upon thousands of men and women who
now patronize the saloons would at the
present be ashamed TO apply for a drinkers
license. The evil of minors drinking would
also disappear
Don't deprive men and women of their
liberties to drink, but compel them to get
a drinkers license and we will have made
long stride in the right direction.

With conviction that fewer churches
will result in better religious growth, former
Governor Hook. Of Kansas. is urging the
rural districts to weed out hundreds Of
small places of worship which cannot be
adequately supported. Backing him up in
his campaign is President Waters. Of the
Agricultural College, who declares that
there is no lack Of religious enthusiasm
among the people, but. now that they
have become more prosperous, they want
better sermons There are" he says, "a
thousand churches in Kansas that ought
not to be in existence. A hundred have
been given up within the year and more
will be abandoned in the near future. In
some cases these rural churches had only
fifteen or twenty members. and yet every
denomination thought il ought to have a
church Of its own in every community.
Competition made the smaller churches
fail just as competition in business drove
out the smaller business. Thousands Of
small churches are not self-supporting and
can never be made So"
Mr.. Waters says there were LOO
churches abandoned in Illinois during the
past year. 1000 in Missouri and almost as
many in Iowa. This teaches the lesson.
he declares. that one educated minister to
every 1000 inhabitants is all the com
munity can afford.-New York American.

Taft Men will Confer.

Republican organization leaders of this
State will hold a conference in Baltimore
during the week beginning July IS. at
which they will outline plans for the man
aeement of President Taft's campaign and
provide for the reassembling of the State
convention, so that the electors who favor
Colonel Roosevelt may be deposed and
genuine Taft supporters chosen in their
places.
Collector of Internal Revenue John B.
Hanna will be urged to remain as chairman
of the State Central Committee. which he
will unquestionably do. and manage the
Presidents campaign.
Among those who will play an important
part in the conference will be Governor
Goldsborough. National Committeeman Viii
liam P. Jackson, Collector William F. Stone,
Marshal George W. Padgett. Land Commits
sioner John J. Hanson, Naval Officer Albert
G. Towers, Mr.. William T. Warburton and
most of the organization county leaders.
Of the eight Republican electors nomi-
mated by the State convention, six have de-
clared that if they are victorious in No
vember they will, as members of the Elec-
toral College, vote for Colonel Roosevelt.
The other two are in favor of the President.
The six Roosevelt electors will be dropped
and six Taft men chosen in their places.
The Roosevelt people. headed by Col. E.
C. Darlington. Jr., declare that they will
take legal steps to prevent this, but the
organization leaders assert that both the
law and fair play" are on their side and
they propose to 60 ahead with their plans.
The question in debate between the two
forces is whether or not the State conven-
ton adjourned sine die. The Roosevelt
people claim that it did, while the Taft
men contend that it adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman. Former State
Senator Henry M. Mccullough, of Cecil
county, who was chairman of the conven-
ton, contends that it adjourned subject to
the call Of the chairman and it is argued
that the records of the proceedings show
this.
State conventions of both parties in the
past have almost invariably adjourned sub
ject to the call of the chairman The proba-
bilities are, however. that the organization
leaders will not want the convention to
reassemble until after Roosevelts Progress
sive party holds its National Convention in
Chicago during the first part of August
They want the situation somewhat clari-
fled before making move.
