John Fox, Jr.,
Needed Shave
Novelist's Whiskers Fooled
Colorado Bear and Game
Chases the Writer
Around Mountain.

lier, John Fox, Jr., and j. NJ.
Waterbury returned here from
the Colorado mountains, where
they spent several weeks hunt
ing. Collier took Fox to n bar
Der shop Immediately aud had
him shaved. The publisher
says that the next time the
novelist goes into the woods
where there is big game he
should take II razor and some
shaving soap along. Other
wise he may never live to write
another book.
1t seems that ono day while
Fox was out with his rifle look
ing for bear he came across n
big brown one. at the time
Fox was wearing a beard, it's
presence being due to the fact
that he had no razor. The move
list took aim at bruin but his
gun refused to work. The bear
evidently realized that h e
shooting iron was out of order,
for he charged on Fox.
The nimble author of "The
Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
turned and retreated at full
speed with the bear right behind
him. Around the mountain they
went until Collier sighted them.
The publisher declares that the
bear was laughing. 1t seems
he had seen the whiskers and
had mistaken Fox for play
rnate-possibly II trained bear.
a built from the Collier gun
stopped the real bear aud Fox
was saved.
The Denver barber who
shaved the novelist had to use
two razors. The first one's edge
was turned before the job was
half done.

cline in the number of deaths
from this cause.
eve should rejoice that the

has reduced the mortality from
this scourge of childhood.
We should rejoice that slow

Of living are reducing the ra
wages of tuberculosis among
our white population and we
should be encouraged by this
to make vigorous fight TOR the
protection of our colored people,
who are dying in distressing
numbers from this cause.
We should rejoice that dur
