BEAR WAS HIS INDIAN WIFE.
Where the Hunter Shot Her 10 Now Called Bears
House.

Along one Of the branches OF the Cheyenne
river in South Dakota there stands hill called
Matoti. or Bears House Tradition tells this
Indian legend about It.
Once upon time an Indian hunter was out
on the chase He wandered for many day
through forest and plain. over hill and dale, till
he finally came to a spot where Bears House
now is. Here he hunted for while until one day
he met beautiful Indian woman
AZ soon as he saw her he wanted to marry
her. Long and hard was the wooing for the
indian woman was unwilling to marry the
stranger. At last she consented. but she made
the stranger promise that he would never In the
future hunt or kill the bear. This animal was her
totem. sacred to her and an object Of her wor.
ship The hunter faithfully promised to obey her
wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave
the bear unharrhed. Then they were married
and lived on in happiness and contentment for
many a day.
Once 1t happened that the hunter started on the
chase. Early he went and roamed all through
the neighboring forest without killing single
thing. At last he became weary and tired from
the chase and resolved to return to his wigwam.
As no was approaching his home be saw In the
dusky twilight the dark and shaggy form Of q
huge bear making straight for the wigwam
"Now my wife will be lost" he thought "for
II the bear reaches there before me he will
surely kill her"
Doubt at first stayed his hand. for he remem.
bered his marriage vow. But fear and anxiety
oyercame his doubts Ho raised his bow to his
shoulder and aimed at the animal. One arrow
sent straight to the heart laid tho animal low.
When the Indian came near he saw instead OF
the bear the lifeess form Of his wife The hill,
where they lived Is still called the Bears House,

graceful young lady, and her appearance
is quite out Of the ordinary. The
Frankfords who bill themselves as the
Piano Fiends, brought down the house
there is plenty of comedy and their
dancing and piano playing is exception
ally good. Miss Frankford vies with
Miss Wilson in appearance aud grace
fulness The little woolley dog does
his part like a reel actor, and pIays
canine selections on small piano
which is all his very own.
The farce comedy "a Dav at the
Races" by the entire company, has
some pretty musical numbers. The cos
tunes were new and pretty. One Of the
girls was suddenly talxsn i'll Sunday,
and is unable 10 work this week, so q
new girl was put in her place. but she
failed to make good so Mr. Frankford

DO YOU KNOW?
Pertinent Points 10 Behalf Of GOucher
College.


Do you know that when Goucher
College was opened in 1883 there was
only one institution in the State of
Maryland and the District of Colum-
bia which could prepare a young wo-
man to enter its Freshman Glass?
There were scarcely half a dozen
institutions in all the South where a
young woman could be prepared to
meet its entrance require ments. To-
day practically all of these schools
have advanced d their standards, about
one-half are doing good work, and the
graduates from many of them are
now meeting the highest college en-
trance requirements.
Do you know that Goueher College
graduates have filled 1870 positions as
teachers in the high schools, private,
preparatory schools and elementary
schools of the city of Baltimore and
that 320 of its graduates have filled
positions as teachers in theState, help
ing to raise the standards of educa-
tion and standards of living?
Do you know that with the closing
OF Goucher College these positions
would have to he filled either by out
siders or by inferior teachers. The
stimulus and aid which Goucher Col
lge has given to raising the ideals
and securing improvements in the Sec
ondaIy Schools for Girls in Maryland
is helping every school girl in every
part of the State of Maryland, for
raising the standard of the Secondary
Schools necessarily lifted the grade
work of the intermediate Schools
and this in turn affected the Primary
Schools.

DID YOU GET A FALL?
Streets a Sheet Of Ice and Snow
Following Rain and Wsrmth Of
Yesterday.

Snow, hail, rain; then a whole lot
of rain, and some more snow and ice.
That was the total combination of
the weather served up in the last
twenty-four hours, as the first sample
of the proverbial cgnostication fol-
lowing the ground hogs seeing of his
shadow on Sunday, which was ground
hog day.
With the snow that began falling
late last night after a day If heavy
showers of rain, it grew much colder
Much of the snow melted as fast
as it fell, but enough remained on the
ground which, with the colder winds
blowing out of the northwest caused
freeze, and Annapolitans awoke
this morning to find the streets a
virtual sheet of ice. And it was
slippery.
Pedestrians were compelled to ex-
ercise great caution as they proceed
ed along the streets this morning, and
even at that, many had bad falls. No
reports of injuries. however, have
been received 1t was bad on the
horses, too, for not many of them are
rough shod, because of the previous
mili weather and consequent absence
of ice.
Another resulting inconvenience
was the delay caused many house,
keepers Gin preparing breakfast, be-
cause dairymen were late in getting
to town. Roads and streets alike
we're slippery and the drivers had to
get out and lead their steeds, and it
was a case of slow progress.
