PENNSYLVANIAN S BEAR
STORY HAS IDAHO RIVAL
“UNCLE BILLW” STEVENS' YARN
SIMILAR TO SPLAN'S, ONLY
HE KILLED BRUIN.
Salmon City, Idaho.—Charlie Lloyd,
a cannery employee w'ho hails from
Pennsylvania, was reading his home
paper a few days ago when he came
across a story from Cammal. Pa.,
about a bear catching trout
“I don’t believe it,” he exclaimed to
a group of friends, as he finished the
story told by Harvey Splan of Cam-
mal, who related his experience of
Latest Parasol
Quality in Cattle.
High-class animals always have the
most quality. It is shown in a fine,
silky coat of hair, in a mellow, elastic
skin and in fine bones and neat joints.
There is lots of difference In the coat
of hair. One cow may have hair that
is fine and soft and thick. There is
a very fine and close undercoat and
then longer, coarser hair. Such hair
is a great proteet/on in winter. Other
animais, and they are the most com-
mon, have coarse, long hair. Their
bones are also likely to be big and
coarse. When an animal has plenty
of quality you can easily take the
skin in the. hand between thumb and
fingers and pull it out from the side of
the body. It will be mellow' and roll
up somewhat In the hand. If the cow
lacks quality her skin will be thick,
tight, and not easily taken In the
hand. Fine quality, as seen in the
hair, skin and bone, means with the
beef animal that when killed there
will be much less waste of the carcass
than if the conditions show lack of
quality. So also the dairy cow with
plenty of quality Is a better producer
of milk than if the quality Is lacking.
Grit for Chicks.
One of the first things to be fed to
chicks is coarse sand or suitable grit
of some kind, which may be bought at
supply houses or gathered at home, al-
ways selecting sharp, small sub-
stances. Dry bread crumbs, millet,
seer, hard-boiled eggs, and after a few
days, cracked wheat, oat meal and
finely ground bone may be fed. With-
in reach of the chicks at all times
should be grit, small bits of charcoal
a fresh, clean supply of water, so pro-
vided that the chicks can not get
their feet into It.

which type it much resembles, ex-

both sexes.
Sanitary Dairy Barn Floors.
Concrete stable doors are now rec- |
ognized as the most economical and.
unitary for the dairy stable. They
should be laid upon good foundations
and finished with grooves to prevent i
and animal slipping upon them. The
stalls should be provided with mats;
of lumber so placed that they may
be frequently removed for cleansing.
All parts of the stalls which rre made
of wood should he removable so that
they may be readily replaced when
[ worn out.
Gettin’ ’Em Bare-Handed.

"I do, for I’ve seen the same thing.”
spoke up “Uncle Billy” Stevens, once
a trapper and guide, who since he lost
one of his feet when he was nearly
frozen to death several years ago. has
done odd jobs around the cannery.
“Tell us about it,” urged Lloyd.
“Well, you see it was like this,” be-
gan “Uncle Billy.” “I was huntin’
down on Camas creek in the winter
of ’8G and game was none too plenti-
ful. When spring came on I had a
few skins, but it had been tough pick-
le I tell you. My grub had about
out and I was preparin’ to go
to town. We had had several days
of sunshine an’ the old creek was
thawed out, so I thought I’d have
some fish for my breakfast So I cut
me a good pole and tied on my line
and started over to a spot near the
bend where I thought I could land a
trout cr two.
“As I came Into sight cf the r’v«r
I had the greatest surprise cf my life.
I was out for fish and had left my rifle
In the shack. Of course It was a fool
thing to do, for no man should go out
without his gun.
“You fellers can Imagine my feel-
in’s when I tell you that I bad run
on to a big bear. The old galoot had
accumulated an appetite for fish just
like I had an’ just like that Pennsyl-
vania feller tells abouL I was proud
of one thing an* that was that my
Judgment about the proper place to
get a mess of trout was borne out by
the bear.
“The critter stood In the water just
where I intended to try my luck an’
he was gettin’ ’em bare handed.
That’s no joke, either. That bear was
the best fisherman I ever saw. I’ve
seen these fellers with their fine
tackle an’ fancy bait, but they wasn’t
in it with Mr. Bruin. He knew more
about fishin’ than any man in the
world, unless it was Grover Cleveland.
His claws were his hooks and his
front legs the poles. I Just stood there
and watched the critter for a few min-
utes an’ in less time than it takes me
to tell it he had swished half a dozen
beauties on to the shore.
“Mad! Say, I was the maddest man
in Idylio. Here I’d come out to get
some breakfast and that infernal bear
was takin’ It right out of my mouth,
rt was two miles back to the shack
where my gun was, but I decided to
go and get that rifle and blow that
bear’s head plum off. It was bear
meat I wanted for breakfast then and
not fish. So I hustled back and got
“Old Jinny”—that’s what I called my
rifle.
“When I got back to the creek the
bear was gone. Confound him. I was
mighty hungry and I didn’t feel like
tryln’ to find him. There wasn’t a
sign of a fish, for the bear didn’t
leave even a scale on the ground.
He’d created such a fuss that the fish
had all left and I didn’t get my break-
fast after all. I went back to the
shark and fried my last slice of
6alt pork.
“But the next day I got even. I
knew that critter would come back
an’ 1 just waited for him. Sure
enough, I hadn’t been there long when
he pushed his nose through the bush
and looked around. I was hidin' in a
tree and just waited for a chance.
When he stepped out Into the water
where I could get a good aim I didn’t
wait for him to catch any fish. I just
shot him through the head. I had an
awful time pullin' him up on to the
bank, but I finally made it. Bear
meat never tasted so good to me be-
fore or since. An' I got $12 for his
skin”

FOR THE SUMMER BEDROOM i CORRECT STYLES IN GLOVES
Simple But Attractive Furnishings
That Make the Apartment
a Delight.
Summer furnishings have a charm
that is quite foreign to the more pre-
tentious appointments of winter, and
every season they seem to be more at-
tractive. The new toilet china shor^m
is extremely decorative. The quaintly
shaped little bowls are adorned with
equally quaint, conventional designs,
and there are lovely foreign looking
copper jugs, with wicker handles, for
carrying the morning hot water. Col-
ored and white tiles or squares of
glass mounted on a flowered material
matching the room hangings are pro-
vided to set the pitcher of ice water
upon, and if a room is to have two
occupants all these fittings are to be
duplicated. For fastening back the
window hangings the old-fashioned
brass rosette has been revived.
Speaking of bedrooms suggests
breakfast, for it is becoming more and
more the custom to have the first
meal of the day in one’s pwn room,
and thoughtful hostesses always pro-
vide one of the charming little break-
fast sets which are now so common
in the shops for the guest room, along
with a tray of wicker, brass or wood.
High-Necked Gowns Passe for Evening
High-necked gowns are very much
out of fashion for any evening affair,
although white ones with lace yokes
were acceptable for the theater and
informal dinners, and restaurant
wear; but one does not see them any
more among women who dress well.—

TENNIS DRESS

CL
A Wise Law.
Officers of the civil service in New
South Wales must insure their livns.
This is a style suitable to be made
up in zephyr or casement cloth; the
skirt has a little fulness at waist, and
is trimmed below w’ith two folds.
The bodice is trimmed with box-
plaits stitched at each edge. The Pe-
ter Pan collar and cuffs are of lawn
edged with a narrow plaiting.
Chip hat with full crown of spotted
muslin, surrounded by a wreath of
roses.
Materials required: Eight yards 28
pitches wide.
Black Is a Color Little Seen This Sea-
son, Tints Being Given the
Preference.
The new gloves show a good many
innovations over products of a year
ago. Except for black costumes,
wher*> an ail-black scheme is desired,
black gloves are little used. Plain
white gloves also are less in evidence
than for some time, tints having taken
their place. All the soft pastel shades
such as pigeon gray, fawn, biscuit and
champagne are especially popular.
Just now suedes are liked far better
than glace kids. This is a whim of
the Parisiennes, who always go in for
the smartest fit for everything, and
suede certainly comes under that
class In the matter of gloves. With
the continued shortening of sleeves,
more 12-button lengths than any other
style are being sold. White gloves
with black stitching are popular with
black and white combination cos-
tumes. For the street with the plain
tailor-made broad four-row stitchings-
in seif tones are considered the cor-
rect thing.
A Lingerie Hat.
If you get a lingerie hat this year,
be sure to choose the mob cap style,
with large, high crown and double ruf-
fles around the face.
This may be quite simple or of em-
broidery and lace. A pretty one in
sheer Persian lawn has the crown out-
liiied witt* three rows of oval eyelet*.
The upper rulfie is edged with embroid-
ered scallop, while the under ruffle
has a row of eyelets above scallops.
These frills fall far down over the
face and around the high crown are
drawn folds of soft ribbon, ending in
a huge six-looped bow without end* at
the left side.
Where one does not wish to em-
broider, the crown can be outlined in
three rows of German Valenciennes in-
sertion, and the two ruffles finished
with a row of insertion and edging of
lace.
Odd Names to New Shades.
Some of the new shades have ex-
ceedingly odd names. There is pheas-
ant displayed in a number of tones,
from pale-reddish brown to a brown
so deep it is almost black. Ashes of
violet, a color of dull, faded purple;
king's blue, a cold Japanese-looking
shade, toning to brown; argent, a gray
like dull silver; drake, a bluish green
that is attractive, and a pale green
called almond that blondes of a deli-
cate (not colorless) type find becom-
ing. Chantecler is a rich, deep pink,
almost red.
A Shining Nose.
Summer is a sorry time for the
woman with nose shines. She usual-
ly resorts to powder, which coarsens
the pores, or she mops with alcohols,
which dries up the skin.
Instead of these, try bathing the
nose with hot water, in which a tea-
spoonful of powdered borax has been
dissolved to each pint
Wiping the surface of nose with a
soft flannel or piece of silk keeps
down the shine. Do not rub hard or
redness results.
Rubber* In Fancy Bag.
The traveler may not know that
rubbers can be fitted into gay little
plaid silk bags that are lined with
rubber and fastened over with a pearl
clamp. They are ODly about five
inches long and take up so little room
in a bag or a trunk that it is not
worth measuring. A woman will not
hesitate to travel around with her
rubbers even in a dress suitcase
when they are done up in Buch an at-
tractive Corm.
