KILLED A BEAR

Oliver and Bernice Mcconnell came
in early this week from the Mcconnell
ranch up on Mill creek, on the Clear
water, the former coming out to spend
al few days with his family and on
business. Last Monday Bernice
shouldeled his rifle and stepped out
into the timber with the desire to kill
bear. Signs Of the varmints were
soon discovered and the young man
shortly located an old mother with
two yearling cubs approaching him.
He patiently awaited their coming
and when the distance was right he
raised his rifle and fred killing the
old bear almost instantly. Bernice was
sure going to make killing and
pulled up the rifle to dispatch one Of
the cubs and on touching the trigger
there was no response, and the two
cubs ambled of. On making an ex-
animation he discovered he had only
one shell In the gun.

PRIVATE PEAT."
CHS OWN SOLDIER STORY.)

C1lS OWN SOLDIER STORY.) Pv Harold R. Peat The Bobbs Merrill
 Co.,, publishers. Indianapolis.
 On August 23, 1914, Harold R. Peat en- listed as a private soldier in the first Canadian contingent. He was under size and the recruiting officer declined him twice but he persisted and finally smiled his way in. His luck was with him, az he puts it. Four days later he and his companions were on their way to the training camp at Valvartier where, after an intensive month, they boarded tho transport Zealand, and turned their faces toward the mother country. They did things in hurry in those early days of the trouble.
 This is the beginning of Private Peat's career as a soldier. Everybody then thought 1t would all be over in three months. It was to be a. great lark. But two long years, years of privation, suf- fering and hard fighting, passed before a German bullet crashed it's way through the Canadians righ lung and put his fighting arm out of commission.
 What he saw, heard. felt and en- dured; where he camped, marched and fought: how he lived, bled and almost died, and how the contact with brave men facing death hourly enlarged his vision and expanded his soul--all this and more Private Peat tells with the fighting mans gay humor in this account of two years in hell and back with a smile. :"
 This phrase characterizes perfectly this remarkable human document and its ir- repressibly cheerful author. When he

RE7T1HE spontaneous outpouring of
 gifts of food, clothing and

HHC7TIHE spontaneous outpouring of gifts of food, clothing and S money as evidenced in this city within the past few days when attention was drawn to the needs of a certain family, not only illustrates the advis- ability of consulting accredited city or ganizations whose duty it is to investi- gate all cases of destitution and need. such as the city welfare department, the juvenile court deaconess and others, but encourages me as probation officer of the juvenile court to ask the consideration Of the charitably inclined who crowded into the poor home mentioned laden with gifts, to the number of worthy women who are bravely bearing the burden of support of themselves and family of little ones, with inadequate means at their disposal"
 Mrs. James Weisel, who, for the past few months has filled so efficiently and capably the exacting duties of ''proba- ton officer" of the juvenile court, made the foregoing statement yesterday in re- gard to the many worthy poor women of this great city of ours.
 Mrs. Weisel is in position to know and appreciate the conditions of our less fortunate sisters and brothers of this district more than anyone else, since her daily work brings her in contact with all classes and kinds of poverty, dis tress and suffering.
 Mrs. Weisel realizes, too, the great
 onrSfr,,ot{va mortr aIopo charitable lines and the vast opportu- nity offered to the people of this vi- cinity to help their fellow men and women who are, as we commonly say, down and out"
 Continuing Mrs. Weisel said:
 Any social worker will tell you that one of the hardest problems to solve in their work is that of the working mother with little children. There are many such in this district; through the investiga- tions of the juvenile court officers, the city welfare department and the depart ment of health aid for dependent fam flies, worthy families may be given friendly interest, material aid, and much be done in genuine constructive work. The two day nurseries can care for the little ones under school age during the day--the mother, wearied with her daily employment to furnish bread for the little hungry mouths can be with them during the night possibly be able to prepare the evening meal for them, but what time has she for the needed moral
 instruction for the 'nothering' that all children need, for the unconscious in fluence of her life with and for them, when her heart and mind are over burdened with the problem of adequate food and raiment? Here is where a good, kind, friendly woman can do much to aid. It is true that to put some children in an institution is to greatly improve their condition in every way owing to more or less bad conditions of morals or health in the homes, but God could not be everywhere, so He made mothers as an old Rabbinical saying goes, so the average child needs the care and love of its own mother, even in the stress of poverty and lack of many of the necessities of life.

Through the bequest of one whose
 life shcne forth in beneficence to all
 who were in need, this city has recently
 received valuable land in a most ad-
 vantageous portion of the city. It is
 to be used ss a hospital-a place for the
 healing Of the body, but could we not construe this also to mean sort of soul hospital by the erection of a great me
 morial community center, where, in a suitable building and environment, work
 ing mothers may rent at reasonable
 rental, rooms, ligh and airy, with great
 day nursery connected where the young est children can be placed, and where the returning school children may be ca red for and kept from the streets after
 school hours, until the mothers return,
 and where there could be a cafe or CO.,
 operative restaurant where well cooked,
 healthful, nourlshing food could be sup piled for sum adequate to the means of these brave struggling women? This is my dream-my ambition and hope. A place where a matron or superintendent of high character could have complete management requiring cleanliness and proper behavior on the part of the ten ants? Or. instead of one main building, the cottage plan could be adopted on the same plots of ground with central building for the use of the little ones. Think of the relief from anxiety that would come to these mothers who are now so fearful of what may happen to the children during the hours they are | away from them. What noble un- ! dertaking for any city to consider.
 with the wonderful gifts constantly
 being made by this community for great purposes we believe that such center can be realized before very long for our very own.'
