party were fifteen miles away in a
deep canyon" the doctor explained,
so that we had to shoot straight.
We skinned the bears and reached
camp about 1.30 o'clock the next
morning"
DR.. Mills says that an experience
of f. S. Groves, also of Riverton, q
member of the hunting party, was
equally thrilling. Groves and his
guide, at Q o'clock one evening, came
upon a huge sow-bear, digging out
and devouring groundhogs.
Their first shot only slightly
wounded the animal, which charged
down a sharp incline. The guide,
seeking n better shot, ran to the edge
of the slope; his moccasins slipped
and he rolled down directly in the
bears tracks. Groves was compelled
to shoot between his guide and the
bear ard had just sent home fatal
bullet when the guide landed on top
of the animal.
The region in which the party did
most of the hunting was along the
headwaters of the Klappan River
in the Cassiar district of British CO.
lumbia, territory practically un-
known to white men.
DR.. Mills describes it as the great
est game country in the world.
Within four days their party saw
herds of 10000 caribou, while noun
tain goats were so thick that the
hunters describe them as a nuisance.
DIR. Mills and Mr.. Groves brought
home the heads and pelts of two
mountain goats, two mountain rams,
two caribou and one moose, the sea-
sons game bag limit permitted by
the Canadian Government, while the
physician also had his four bears
and his friend brought out two.

[From Harvey's Weekly.l
The origin of the Presidents cold
ness toward him was doubtless in
Mr.. Wilson's characteristic dislike
to be associated with any one whom
he cannot completely dominate and
overshadow. But the feeling came
to an irrem ediable climax when Mr.
Lane committed the doubly unpar-
donable sin first of adopting a policy
at variance with the Presidents
or with that of the Presidents fav-
orites-and second of having the
logic of events prove that he was
right and the President, or his fav-
orites, wrong
That occurred, of course, in the
coal controversy, at the beginning
of the war Mr.. Lane, as Secretary
of the Interior, made an agreement
with the operators to run their mines
at full capacity, at stipulated
price, which he and pretty much
everybody else regarded as fair. But
Mr.. Baker, Secretary of War, and one
of the ablest public officials the Pre-
sident has ever known, butted in
with public deaunciation of the
price as eXorbitant, and refus-
ed, as Chief Cook of the war-wag-
ing combination, to approve the
gareement. OF course, the Presi-
dent backed up one of the ablest
public officials he has ever known,
Mr.. Lanes agreement was abrogat-
ed, and there was a general shut
ting down of mines. The result was
such a coal famine as the country
had never known, with heatless days
and lightless nights and an appal-
ling increase in the death-rate and
incidentally the public had to pay
higher prices for the little coal it got
than it would have had to pay un-
der Mr.. Lanes ARRANGEMENT.

Patch Up Optic Nerues Now
[From the Toledo Blade

CFrom the Toledo Blade.
In the field of medicine and sur
gerry there were wonderful advances
during the war. Bones from ami
mails have been used successfully to
replace human shin and arm bones
splintered by high explosives. Skin
grating and facial reconstruction
have become commonplace. New
noses and ears have been created of
thumbs and fingers.
The latest and most startling bit
Of surgery that has grown out of
the war was performed at Fort Nc
Henry hospital, Baltimore. Through
it four soldiers, blinded by explo-
sives and gas. have recovered their
sight. The operation I'm each case
was to repair shattered optic nerves.
Skin. tissue, bone, muscle. veins and
arteries have been patched and splic-
cd successfully. but the delicate
fabric of nerves has mostly defled
the skill of surgery heretofore. and
the mark of success upon four on
erations of such novelty and delicacy
promises large things for human
ity.

A GOOD PRISON BOARD

"HE Dauphin County Prison
Board again demonstrated it's
efficiency and public spirit yes
terday by putting into effect at the
county Jail economies that will save
the taxpayers hundreds of dollars a
year.
This board is made up of Republi-
cans-organization Republicans, our
Democratic friends like to term them
and it would be we'll if the offices
at Washington. now occupied by or
ganization Democrats. were filled by
men with the same high regard for
their public duties. Within two
months they have abolished three
Offices at the prison. put into opera
ton a means of saving much money
on bread and henceforth will re-
auire all prison attaches to provide
their own meals.
Part of this economy, of course,
J has been made possible by the re-
duction of prisoners at the Jail since
.prohibition went into effect, but the
larger part is the result of careful
2 calculations on the part of the
prison inspectors, who, in 1919,
saved the taxpayers $1,000 or more
and who promise to do much better
next year.
It would have been easy for the
board to have played politics at the
Jail by keeping the prison staff up
to the old standard. There was no
public demand for a reduction. In
deed, it has been matter of com
ment for the past six or eight years,
at least. that the prison has been
most efficiently managed and the
taxpayers were very well satisfied
Also, it could have been held, with
out much chance of contradiction
that the prison could not be operated
successfully with fewer than the old
force of employees. and thus jobs
could have been made for political
workers. But the prison inspectors
are not that kind of men. They are
looking after the interests of the
taxpayers above all else, and so the
savings have been effected.
This is good politics as we'll as
good business. The people care lit
tie for party affiliations in local
office. but they do demand honesty
and efficiency, and so long as the
Republican organization of Dauphin
county puts into places of RESPONSE
bility such men as compose the Dau-
phin County Prison Board elections
may come and elections may go, but
Republican majorities will continue
as regularly and uninterruptedly as
the flow of the brook, which, as our
old friend Tennyson assures us, goes
on forever.

DIVIDEND WORTH WHILE

! <fT RECEIVED two fine dlVidends
9" to-day" I said 40 one Of Harris
burg's most successful busi-
nessmen to a friend the other day,
and his friend, knowing him to be
man of many Investments, naturally
asked: What per cent. 2"
Whereupon the businessman re-
piled: "One hundred per cent" and
seeing the look of astonishment on
| his companions face, added: 'They
were not cash dividends; they were
! expressions of appreciation for little
l1indnesses l had been able to do.
! One came in the form of letter;
the other the simple thanks of one
I scarcely knew, but whom L had
been able to favor. Cash DIVIDENDS
are soon forgotten. I don't know
what percentage l received last year
on some of my holdings, but divi-
dends such as these l shall carry
with me to my grave, and perhaps
beyond"
If more of us tried to earn diVi-
dends of that kind, the world would
be a happier and better place in
which to live. The dollar is soon
spent; the good deed never dies. The
cash dividend is forgotten; the kindly
act is written in the record OF
mans life by which hereafter he will
be judged.
Wealth may make for happiness,
but wealth and happiness do not al
ways go together. The dollar is an
essential to business. Accumulation
of money, honestly, is the mark OF
success in business and therefore to
be desired. But beyond that, in busi-
ness and in private life, is the desire
to serve, and while service may be
in itself its own reward, yet it yields
dividends: dividends of satisfaction
in a good deed we'll done, in the fair
reputation they win for those who
extend the hand of help in time of
need: in the content that comes in
the summing up of ones lifework,
when gold is counted as dross and
money means nothing.
All of us know these things. but
few are wise enough to practice
them, more's the pity.

MURDER

"HE man who puts wood alcohol
into Intoxicating beverages is
murderer, nothing more nor
less; just as much so as though he
had placed arsenic in the drink. for
one is as deadly as the other. OF
course, he who buys contra band
whisky is at heart a lawbreaker and
so is deserving of little consideration.
But, on the other hand, the habitual
drinker, denied of his alcohol by law,
must be protected by law against
unscrupulous persons who are prey
ing upon his weakness.
The public will expect the police
authorities of the country to lose no
time in rounding up these poisoners
and the courts in putting them where
they belong.

A FOOLISH CONCLUSION

TTORNEY GENERAL PAL
u MER reaches the conclusion
that because prices have not
arisen since August they are going
to drop very soon.
Wonder if he has reckoned with
the report of the Coal Commission
which the President says should be
made within sixty days.
There is not doubt in the world
that when the recommendations for
increased wages and coal prices be-
come effective the price of every
manufactured commodity will take
a big jump.

Where Credit is Due
[From Philadelphia Press. ]

The rejoicing that is in the heart
of the Nation at the final deporta-
ton of two hundred or more Reds
was not caused by any rigorous ac-
tivity on the part of the Admins
tration. The fact that these un-
Americans are now on their way to
soviet Russia is not the fault of GER
tain Government officials in whose
hands was the administration of the
special laws which declared these
persons beyond the pale. To the
Committee on immigration of the
House of Representatives is due the
credit for this embarkation. The
sending away of these persons had
been delayed time and time again.
There was no certainty that 1t would
ever have taken place IL certain Fed
