A Lady Skier Falls Gracefully With.
out Damage.

weight seemed lifted from my feet.
Every second l expected to leave the
ground and fly. Down, down, and
down, with the heart iuttering with
the glorious and uplifting excitement
Of sheer speed self-directed.
"A spasm and stagger as hillock Of
snow is passed; desperate struggle
to take curve into a valley at the
foot of the slope, and then a swift and
certain sailing down the snow till the
noise of the ski strikes a lower note
and slowly ends. Lean on your stick
ard rest a moment, with the face tin
Cling from the rush through the keen
and sunny air; wonder how on earth
you got so far, and fast in safety
watch the 'Guv'nor sliding solemnly
down a gentle decline, and the ladies'
tying themselves in complicated knots
as they fall, and then pant up the long
hill with labor and toll Of the hardest
and earn another 40 seconds of de-
lirious joy.
ut is true that at the next attempt
was struck by lightning-at least, that
was how 1t felt-at the bottom of the
slope and that broke a ski, scratched
my nose, cut my lip, and blackened one
eye. That was the deserved penalty of
rashness in the novice. Vaulting am
bition did oerleap itself, and finished
the performance with its head stuck in
the snow and it's astounded legs wav-
ing feebly like those of wasp half
buried in jam. But the game was
worth the candle, and in the high
places cuts and bruises are healed
with a miraculous ease.
1T is wonderful what valor the noble
sport of skiing evokes in its Devotees.
Elderly men and women, girls and
young men, dot the snowslopes with
writhing patches. If you take an india
rubber bands and roll 1t into a tight
little ball and leave 1t alone it undoes
itself with little galvanic twitches and
wriggles. Even so does the novice, re-
covering from the effect Of the wild
and whirling moments preceding the
final crash, undo himself with sudden
starts and helpless giggles, thinking
the while that in the art of tying knots
he could give an epileptic boa con-
strictor five minutes start and beat
him easily
For what are you to do when your
feet are seven feet long and your head
is buried in the snow and your left toe
is caught behind your right ear and
your right ankle is fixed firmly be-
meath the middle of your waistcoat and
your right heel is standing high up in
the air and disowns you completely? ?
Nothing for it but to think hard and
heave yourself up spasmodically with
the help of low cunning and brute force
and all the artfulness and strength
you can command. When you have
done this a dozen times you become
expert in unraveling your twisted
limbs, and the hardest part of ski
ing is conquered.

LITTLE GIRL KILLS A BEAR
Attacked by Beast She Stops Its
Charge With Rifle Bullets in
His Brain.

Everett, Wash.-Ivy Thompson, fif.
teen-year-old Everett girl, rented a
22-caliber rife from a sporting goods
store and within a few hours had
shot and killed a black bear within
the city limits. The animal weighed,
dressed, 200 pounds.
When the girl opened fire the bear
was charging her. Miss Thompson
planted two bullets in the animals
brain that brought Bruin to a dead
stop at her feet.
Accompanied by her father, her un
Gle and her brother, the girl started
out through Pigeon Gulch in search of
a wildcat. Gyp, their dog, started out
on hot trail. They thought he was
after a wildcat, but found he had
treed a black bear. The animal hid
in the hollow of a tree, but the men
smoked the bear out. Ivy let fly
22-caliber bullet at the animal She
missed and the bear charged her.
The girl did not lose her nerve, but
throwing another shell into the rifle
she fired again, this time hitting
Bruin in the head. Another bullet
killed the animal.

eoswelPs House in London, England

ographer of Dr. Johnson, once lived
there. Indeed, it is as Boswells house
that most people recognize this beau
tiful building.
The construction of Great Queen
street was begun in 1908, and there
were 15 houses erected on the south
side before 1923. Then came Inigc
Jones, or his pupil Webbe, to finish
this side, which was originally intend
ed to form one of the sides of Q
square. Nos. So and 56 are all that re
main of this typical work of the InigC
Jones period. They we're built be
tween 1916 and 1860.
The street in it's day was considered
very grand. It must have been very
beautiful, too. to Judge by these frag
ments which remain, and which are
now, it would seem, threatened with
destruction.
In addition to the Boswell and the
Inigo Jones connections there are 9th
er reasons which make II desirable
that this house should, If possible, be
saved to London. Hudson, the master
of Sir Joshua Reynolds. is said tC
have lived here, and IL so, Reynolds
must have served there from 1740 tC
