I. nst k year, with a mountain icene showing a lienl of deer gracing tt the timber-line, she took n pilre jlvcu by an association of amateur photographers. Sin- ruined walking suit in climb vt. crawling over stick and stones i ml through dirty wash outs, but the tirlz? was tweuty-tlve dollars nnd a lecuud-best diploma, nnd the glory well, I must say that Florence was n '.iule hard to live with for a few days. She is naturally modest and good lutttred enough, though, and iv:u re duced to the runks in due reason. Black Rock Rauch, our home, Willi Vus of children. Is a pure democracy, it least Id principle. Of late, however. Florenco has really performed a feat lo notable that we cannot Ignore her claim to distinction. The worst of It '.s. she lias never once bragged of her performance, mid when the subject is xeutioned by any one. she liirm It islde with an air of beins: bored, and says It was nothing but what any tmateur with a camera would have luue. Such a thins is lint to be be 'leved of every one. though, and It is lust this air of calm superiority to oraise that I'crd. Fanny and I 11 ml liurd to get nlou with. We have rend and iiea-.'il Hint peopl who have performed heroic actions or notable achievement bcenme very humble and modest at home when their deeds have reeeived public recog nition. So ii U with some hope of re Juein! Florence io her normal status '.hat I undertake to toll of bet- adven ture exactly as it happened. Last August Florence. Ford. Faulty ind 1 went as usual to Shoshone I'eaks '.or the raspberry picking. In these excursions we irive a stout spring wagon, and cs:vy a ti nt anda canning outflt. High up amrni the juniper bush nnd hrub li no of the Slinsbones grow Qelds of red raspberries -berries half Is bis a a tuiin's thumb, juicy ns strawberries and luscious to the taste. This fruit Is so abundant that birds nd beasts do not visibly diminish the supply. Our berry camp of a:i evening, with Its glowing pine-wood fir its big heat ing kettle Riving out the odor of sim mering fruit, atid two berry-stained Kir's moving nboul among pots aud ars aud packing crates, is a pleasant place for Ferd'r.nd me: and the girls ujoy It as niurh as we do. Florence aud Fanny help in picking V-rries. although Floreuce always car ries a camera under her arm. She has litis secured excellent photographs, at ;hise range, of pine-hens, sage-grouse, tvliistliug hares and other mountain jlfds and animals. On day she got a flue snap shot of an elk which trotted 'jy within a few yards of her. There are a good ninny bears in these Mountains, but as they never attack people unless directly provoked, no do not fear them; and as landmarks re perfectly dctlr.cd 'all about our ?amp. we take no pains to keep to gether. Kacu one of us, In fact, can 'Jo better work alone. Thus It happened that Florence was nlone when she encountered a big frizzly at close quarters. Sue. was a balf nille or so from ramp u ml sitting it rest with two bucket Ulled with 'lerri.'.s, when she beard a, great splash ing o water in the channel of a small brook near a- hand. The sounds came from some rods below, and she .jumped at the conclu sion that an elk had come down to iriuk, as the day was very warm. So she tools her cam th from Its case. Jed slipped iluivu into the crooked, illtch-like channel. As she could see no auimal (here. tli stole softly down stream, stepping upon boulders which wer thickly itrewa l:t the shallow little runlet, l'ha crooked ditch deepened as she Hil ranced, and Hie sun's rays beat hot upon tlie stone nt the bottom. After H'veral turns of the brouk. nhe r-amc suddenly upon the object tit her srarcli not an elk. but itti enormous grizzly bear, wallowing in a pool of water held by a dam of hoiihl r. The water came to its mid sides, and the auimal nounm red aboin, cooling Its parched hide In this refreshing bath. On catching sight of Florence, th? grizzly gave a grunt of surprise, nnd reared itself upon the boulder to stare t her; nnd there the nniuuil stood, sfter a shako of its luosu skin, uneasy ,i tit the preseuce of nn Inlnnlpr. jet ap parently neither angered nor afraid. Naturally Florence feured danger nt ueh close quarter, but she knew that muuiug would uvall her nothing If the licur chose to attack, I'luekilv, there . lor. she stood her ground, at less - tiinu fifteen steps, and took two or "I three strap shot in quick succession, or nt bust as quickly i she could roll Hie camera's him into position. Thru, as the grlzxly refused to retire and still showed no disposition to at luck, Florence begun leisurely to built away. She bad made but a careful HI tip or two when site beard a racket In the bushes almost above her head, uuil nit li;slniit Inter. Just iclilnd her, another l'iv descended the precipitous IiiimIc or t ie channel. He bllj down backward, and alighted with a splash u tti'j lirouk: than half as large an the other, but It wn very near Florenc. and very much startled at the apparition of girl in a blile dress. It crowded against the creek bank and showed its teetb, evidently expecting Immediate attack, and growled and whimMred, as much In alarm ns In nnser. Tills stirred the old bear to wrath, and poor Florence, standing In a nar row channel between the angry mother and the formidable cub, dared not move a foot In either direction. She might have dared to try passing the small bear, but she knew the old one would leap at ber instantly. She stood upon two big boulders, slightly elevated above the bears, and astride a little channel of the brook. She kept her position, and although her heart beat so loudly that It sound ed tn her ears like the tattoo of a drum, she controlled her agitation, nnd turned her camera first upon one aud then the other of the threatening griz zlies, until she had exhausted all the exposures upon the film. While she was doing this she noted that the grizzlies were growing more nnd mure angry, and that the smaller one, hugging an earth bank within live or six steps of her. bad Its nose and jaws stained red with the Juice of berries, which seemed to heighten the ferocity of Its expression. The photographing, which occupied but a few moments. seeiiK'd to clear her brain, and she looked swiftly about, seeking lu vain for some linn of ascent up the steep banks. The bears increased their threats and yng gerlngs until the little canyon roared with the horrid noise. Floreuce felt sure the old dam wns about to pounce upon her. and ns a last resort, she stooped, laid her cam eta behind one of the boulders upon which she stood, aud then suddenly dropped nt full length Into the narrow crevice between them. The water in this small runway was a foot or more In depth, and Florence sank upon the bottom with only her face and floating skirt at the surface. She was completely hidden from the bears, and to her great relief their threatening quickly ceased, and pres eutly the cub leaped fairly over her body on its way to Join Its dam. Two or three minutes later Florence dared to peepover the rocks, and find ing th" const clear, crawled out nnd mad.? her way to camp, where, after telling her story, she became a heroine Indeed. Six photographs enlarged to real pic ture size and handsomely framed now hang l:i the dining-room at Illnck Hook Kiiuch. Three of these pictures show n great grizzly standing nt gaze upon some rocks, and two others show the same bear lu different attitudes of tierce threat. The remaining one dis plays, in shadow, a bear crowding against an 'arth bank nnd showing its leeth like an auimal at hay. It Is cer tainly a notable collection of photo graphs. Iteeently, nt a social gathering, my mother related the story of "The Lady or the Tiger;" and some one proposjd Hie conundrum. "What would Florence I'rissm:;; do In such a case?" With )ne voice nil the company shouted. Photograph the tiger!" I think such things are enough to spoil any girl. Youth's Companion.

He will daNh wildly In front ot the car every time, nnd very often he lakes his life lu his bauds, as It were, lu order to make the crossing. Why It Is I do not know, but the average dog will become panic-stricken, In a way If a car rolls along at a time when he Is anxious to get on the other side of the street. With a desperate plunge he will dash in front of the car. In ninny Instances the car will not miss the dog tiie fraction of an Inch. I have talked to street car men about the matter, aud motornii n have assured ine that nlne-ty-tiine out of every TOO dogs will do this very thing. It may be that they do it Just for the excitement of the thing. Dugs seem to love excitement. They seem to be particularly fond of anything that smacks of the chase. anything that will give them a chance ! to develop speed and show He?tness ol foot.

A QUIET OLD ACE. Mrs. John C fnaiont la Her California Home. Privations of the Western frontier and life at the courts of Europe form the two extremes lu the romantic ca reer of Mrs. Jessie Bctiton Fremont, who Is enjoying the closing years of her life In Los Angeles. Cnl. A Virginian by birth, plunged nt four teen Into the brilliant society which gathered about her father, Senator Hen ton, In Washington, she eloped nt six teen with a fascinating young lieuten ant. John C. Fremont. Though she returned almost imme diately to ber father's home, she aided and abetted the schemes nnd explora tions which brought her husband such renown as the "Pathfinder;" shared bis conquest of California, which meant to him not only political honors, but the possession of gold miues as well; re turned with blm to Washington when California sent him there ns her first Senator, and in the heyday of his pros perity nnd National fame queened It royally In St. I.ouls In a little court of her own. From this she expected to return to Washington to relgti ns mis tress of the White House, but General Fremont was defeated by liuchanan lu the Presidential race. This disappointment was drowned lu a foreign trip, made memorable by the high honors with which General Fre mont and his wife were received at the English and European courts, where the beauty and wit of the accomplished Mrs. Fremont made a strong Impres sion. A good linguist and accustomed from infancy to distinguished nnd cos. mopolitnn society, she made many warm friends. Among them was the Empress Eugenie, with whom she still corresponds. Mrs. Fremont's old age is spent In her charming Los Angeles home a spacious two-story cottage presented to her by the -women of California. At the advanced age of seventy-six, Mrs. Fremont retains much of her bril liancy nnd benuty. It is difficult ta think of her as old, or even helpless, although she practically Is so, owing to n broken hip. -which confines her during the day to an invalid chair. Before this catastrophe, two years ago, he was the gayest of the gay, and the accident is another of those pat Illus trations of the old saying that, pride goeth before a fall. It happened at the time that she was rejoicing In a glorious sense of hnlth lu which she boasted one day, and in an excess of spirits danced across the floor to dis play her exuberant vitality. But he lid not reckon on that snare or snares rugs on a polished floor. There was a slip and a slide nnd down she went, her walking as well as her dancing lays forever over. She is of large build, wherein she takes after her distinguished father. Senator Benton, who was over six feet and of powerful physique. She has strong, handsome, aristocratic features nnd an expressive countenance, with a regal poise of head and mien so ma jestic that as she sits and bows a smile of welcome to her visitor she gives the effect of a gracious personage receiving In state. The bow Is accom panied If the visitor takes her fancy by a wave of the hand to indicate the sent nearest her, for this grande dame s a little deaf and does not participate ns much as formerly la the general conversation. The Tea Face. If diction not quite in accordance with its subject may be pardoned, a certain acquisition of the women of to-day may be described as the "tea race." It is seen on nine out of every ten women at any afternoon tea. and it Is a streuuous, vapid expression which once observed can never be mlstnkeu for any other Intent of countenance. Youug girls are not afflicted with it. Their tinsated, omnivorous propensity for social gatherings and their merry, buoyant spirits enable them to enjoy even teas. Hut the women who are perfunctor ily attending the function, to whom It Is only No. '1 or 15 on nu afternoon list, of four or five, these women ns sume the tea face like a mask, and with It hide their weariness, their pre occupleduess or their dissatisfaction. Another peculiarity of the tea face Is the continual furtive glance that is vast from behind It. After all, It Is but a mask, mid the cal woman Is ever surreptitiously look ing out from the corner of her eye In search of some special thing that really interests ber. It. may be only the clock on the mantel, It may be the caterer' mime, It may be a social lion, but al ways the woman with the true tea face will expose her secret luterests or am bitions by involuntary and hasiy sur veys from her ungovernable eyes. Hut it Is a good thing, this tea face. Suppose for au Instant the guests at a tea showed on their countenances their true egotism Instead of 11 genial, lordinl pretense of altruism! Suppose, when we greeted a woman with the latest thliig lu baudshakes, we could read In her face her cnnul, her curios by, her InJIfferente. cr her Impatience Instead of this we meet a delighted ntnlle. au exaggerated assertion of In terest in our welfare, and an nfilraa tlcn of unbounded Joyottsncss and w; are grateful. New York Herald. Eight Rules For Popularity. First Itemember that a good voice is as essential to self-possession as gor-.d Idea are essential to fluent language. The voice should ba carefully trained aud developed. A full, clear, flexible voice is one of the surest Indications of food breeding. Second Kemember that one may be witty without being popular, voluble without being agreeable, a great tulker and yet a great bore. Third Be sincere. One who hahlt tially sneers at everything not only renders herself disagreeable to others but will soon cfdse to And pleasure In life. Fourth-Be frnnlt. A frank, open couutenanco and a clear, cheery laugh are worth far more, even socially than "pedantry In a stiff cravat." Fifth Be amiable. You way hide a vindictive nature under a poltis ex tcrlor for a time, a a cat masks Its sharp claws In velvet fur, but the len provocation brings ont one as qnlcklj as the other, and Ill-natured people ar always disliked. Sixth Be sensible. Society nevei lacks for fools, and what yon cousldei very entertaining nonsense may soor be looked upon as very tiresome folly Seventh Be cheerful. If you hnv no great trouble on your mind you hav no right to render other people inisera bte I'.v your long face nnd dolorottf tones. If yon do you will genernllj be avoided. Eighth Above all, be cordial and sympathetic. True cordiality and sym pathy unite all the other qualities enumerated, and are certain to secure the popularity so dear to every oue. New York World. Women nnil Watches. "Women don't deserve ta own watches." said .n jeweler. "They doti't know how to take cure of them. They seldom remember to wind them, and the consequence Is the wa'cbes are always coming back for repalts. A woman bought one from us recently, und I gave her strict orders to wind It every twenty-four hours, und always at the same hour, ns nearly ns possible. Two days later she came back with It; nld It had stopped nnd she couldn't make it go. Well, I found It had run down and hadn't beeu wound up again. I told her this, but she insisted that she had wound It. Two or three days later she came back with the same complaint, nnd ngnln I tried to Impress her with the necessity of winding It. Again she Insisted that she had done so, und went away rather miffed. The third time she came In I asked her lu desperation to show me how she had wound It. Then I made a peculiar dis covery. The woman was left-handed, nnd In attempting to wind the wntch she had been winding It the wrong way, with absolutely no effect upon the spring!

Circles of liearls and oval lattices in pearls and' dlamouds arc attractive conventional designs, while bees, butterflies, dragon- tiles and other Insects In brilliant en amels und colored gems will warmly welcome the winter season. A little nicety of leave-taking that is practiced by a certain well-bred wom an, says the Dundee News, Is to rise to end the visit while she Is the speaker. In this way she Is apparently leaving while she is much Interested. This Is better than to start at the end of a pause, or to jump up the moment your hostess's voice drops. One way implies boredom; the other waiting for it chance to get away. This may seem a trifle of observance, but It is worth while if only to train one's self in the habit of easy leave- taking a rare accomplishment even among women with wldo social ex perience. Once standing, leave prompt ly, and avoid splunlng out a second visit lu the hall. ''V Keep Tour Shoes " New." Some people always buy the most ex pensive footwear, and always manage to look 111 shod. Others haunt bargain counters and wear unpretentious shoe maker's shoes, aud somehow the boot toe peeping from beneath their skirt is always of the neatest. All boots, shoes and slippers Intended for ordinary wear should be kept on their tree when not In use, and when ever the walking boots get. damp, they must be rubbed with vaseline ns soon ns they are taken off. first, however. removing the mud and afterward pad ding them with soft linen rags or paper. This will preserve their shape nnd prevent shrinkage. Shoe polish should be used sparingly, nnd only af ter the dust has been wiped off, for more shoes are destroyed by the reck less use of polish thou la generally sup posed. rteetles For Millinery Largo beetles of enamelled French gold and studded with mock diamonds are one of the millinery caprices of the moment.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW. acatral Tradi CanJItloaa, R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review says: "New labor controversies have been promptly settled by advancing wagei, nd the gradual improvement in supply of coal has reduced prices and restored ctivity in manufacturing. Complaints Ire increasing as to the tardy movement of freight, miles of cars being stalled by the lack of motive power, and many roads refuse to accept further shipment! until the blockades are relieved. Lower lempcra'tire lias stimulated retail sales of seasonable merchandise, but frost conies too late to seriously Injure agricul tural products. Liberal consumption sustains quotations in most lines, domes tic demands being supplemented by large exports. Operating expenses of the rail ways have increased in many cases to such a degree that net earnings are some what curtailed, but gross earnings for October thus far exceed last year's by 47 per cent, and those of 1900 by 13.5 per owit. "New England shoe manufacturers are receiving additional orders at fully sus tained quotations, and many shops are assured' of full occupation well into Jan uary. Supplementary orders for winter goods have decreased, indicating that wants will be supplied when shipments are made, and producers nre pushing de liveries in order to take inventories. Leather is in better demand, with prices firmer. More interest has been shown in Chicago packer hides at recently reduced prices, but the average of all grades is again lower. Conditions at the cotton mills arc healthy, a scarcity of goods being general, while there is no disposi tion to force transactions. It is early for supplementary buying of spring woolen goods and fall trade is finished, so that these divisions of the market are natur ally quiet.
