BEAR STEALS FOOD SUPPLY
Bruin Climbs Trees and Visits Cabins
OF P~rospectors and Safely Gets
Away With Grub.

A bear that has educated himself
into all the curves of the art of steal
ing food from prospectors' cabins Is
causing a lot of trouble on Cultus
creek, says the Vancouver Sun. He
has cleaned j. w. Mulholland of 5000
worth OF food this season and last,
and Charles o. Woodrow reported that
bruin had climbed more than fifteen
feet up a tree and consumed a three
weeks supply of food that he had
packed in. The loss is much greater
than the value of the food, because
of the labor involved in packing Ii
up the creek to the claims.
Bruin is a gourmand when it comes
to bacon, and when he gets a side
purchased at 55 cents a pound he &C.
quires a meal that no one but a mil.
lionaire could pay for very often,
Bruin still owes for 1t, but there are
limitations that wise as he is in dodg-
ing anyone with a gun he will pay
pretty soon, if the prospectors have to
use hand grenades, a 42-centimeter gun
and chlorine gas to do it.

silks No Longer LuxurIes.

Silver lace is said to be easier to OBJ
tain than table linen, and it costs less,
Peltry, it is claimed, is got with greater
ease and at a lower price than leather
for shoes. Velvet frocks and silk un-
derwear are within the price Of the
small wage Garner, whereas cotton
stockings are an extravaganza rarely
INDUCED in. All of which goes to ex'
plain the fact that women may be

There are many magnificent phenorn-

light and moonlight among the floating
vapors and crystals of the atmosphere,
such as the coronas, OF "glories," that
often appear around the SUI or the

And Hazel, aged twelve, just coming
into the house, halted in the hallway,
listened to the conversation, took up
the new suitcase standing there, and
quietly left the place. Nathan Wayne
and his family had met with misfor-
tune, loss and poverty, and he had been
forced to give up their m~ortgaged
home. A brother of Mrs. Wayne living
in Oklahoma seemed their only refuge.
They had written him and he told Mr..
Wayne that he operated a small ranch

some one to look after the subdividing

The Poultry Flock.

Reports recently gathered concerning
5,298 fiocks of poultry show that the
average number of hens per flock is
107, as compared with 146, in 1914.
This information, which vas obtained
by an incubator manufacturer in the
middle West, indicates that shortage
of supply has been an important fac
tor in producing present high prices
for poultry and eggs.
