HOW TO SET
X A BEAR TRAP S
a .
It 1 not io complicated a task, to
set a bear trap successfully. The
guides of New Brunswick may tell
you It Is, or their brothers of the
Rockies may object to carrying a
heavy trap Into a country where they
know a good rifle will be pretty sure
to get your bear for you. But IT you
still InBist on assuming the role of
the trapper, If only to test your wood
craft, then the first thing io do Is to
get a good trap. You will want a No.
fi for grizzlies; a No. I will do for
black bears. For the West your trap
should weigh not less than twenty
pounds, but for the bears down Kast
a twelve or fifteen-pound trap will do
if It has good springs.
It Is the usual thing to build a
rough V-shaped pen in a windfall, lo
rated, of course, where bears are us
ing, and place the halt In the small
end of the V. This pen should be
constructed of heavy logs and brush
picked up without any an work, and
should preferably be In a depression
of the ground with a fairly open trail
leading Into It. It Is a good plan to
use a standing tree a foot In diameter
for the back or Inside end of the
pen, and the walls should be jammed
tight against this tree and lie belt
high at the tree.
Across the entrance of the pen,
after the bait Is In position, place an
old dead branch of a tree, one that is
comparatively straight and strong
and not more than two Inches In
diameter. Wedge It In firmly be
tween the logs of the walls. This is
for the "bear to step over, and It
should bo eight or ten Inches above
the ground. About four or five Inches
In front of It, on the inside, set your
trail, arranging it so that when fully
covered with earth the jaws will be
level with the firm ground. Be sure
that the trap is set with the open jaws
extended lengthwise, opening right
and left, so the bear will put his foot
Into It lengthwise. Otherwise his
foot would almost surely be thrown
out by one of the Jaws of the trap
squarely upon the pan. Tb clog to
which the chain it fastened should be
a short log of sound, heavy hardwood,
about six Inches in diameter, and this
should not be fastened down. If the
bear gets away from the set without
smashing It up it can lie used again.
Some trappers place a row of sharp
ened sticks In the ground on either
side, of the entrance of the pen to
make the bear walk caietully lu the
centre and step over the CrOM sticks
at just the right place.
.Many persons object to the use of
traps, and with good cause, since
trapping is neither kind nor sports
manlike. Nevertheless, after a man
has made one or two unsuccessful and
expensive trips Into the mountains
for a bear, he finds no difficulty In
excusing the use of trap. And so
long as he does not kill deer, moun
tain goats, bighorn sheep or other
game for bait, for his bear nap, he
need not entirely sacrifice his claim
to being a sportsman. After all,
there Is not so very much difference
between bringing a gristly to bay by
means of a trap and rounding him up
with a big pack or hounds .- From

Or. H. W. Wiley, Government Expor
hoi and Gloomy Friend
Washington. D. C. Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, food expert of the Govern
ment has a few simple rules for eat
ing and drinking during the heated
term. Here are hla commandments:
Eat one-fourth less In summer than
In winter.
Eat meat in moderation. Select
the lighter meat;,.
Banish all alcoholic beverages.
Eat most. largely of cooked fruits
and vegetables.
Drink nothing below sixty degrees
In temperature, and drink sparingly.
Be careful to seek the society of
cheerful friends.
Practice moderation In open air ex
ercise. Don't fret: don't worry.
"Thousands of people are made
sick lu summer because they do not
know how or what to eat," observed
Dr. Wiley. "But the same criticism
applies to the winter season as well.
Few people follow definite rules.
Moderate eating, moderate drinking,
moderate exercise in the open air and
cheerful friends will keep any good
man alive through the summer.
"Eating In summer should be di
minished by about one-quarter, Inas
much as the heat energy Is one-quarter
less than in winter.
"Fruits and vegetables are the nor
mal diet for summer nroviiliul thov
I are cooked. If eaten raw they
si mild not be contaminated with
pathogenic bacteria.
"Few persons who delight In raw
fruits for breakfast have any idea of

pathogenic bacteria, itn nnpearaner
or Its taste, if it has any. So apples,
peaches, grapes and even the delect
able grape fruit are to be banished
because they may have been contam
inated. Stewed prunes are good, il
vou like thein and the rontamlnatior
has been cooked out of them.
"Tto festive highball and the more
pleblan "scuttle of suds" are to bo
put aside. Alcohol when oxidized it
nothing but heat, and thrso piimmpt
days are hot enough. Should more
alcohol ho used than Is otldlzed the
user gets poisoned. It Is bard tc
tell during thr heated season When
the alcohol Imbibed Is going to stor

ccas Imbibing.
"Care should he taken against
over-indulgence In very coH djrinkl
or frozen relishes. On hot days nc
beverages below sixty degrees lr
temperature should be taken. Other
wise they are apt to produce what
physicians describe as Ice-wntcr dys
pepsia. Soda water and ic" cream
are alike bad when tnlten In large
quantities. Observe the law of mod

Good Burglar Alarm.
At the top of the stairway In the
Grlgson dwelling there was a board
that emitted a loud creak whenever
anybody stepped on It. Mr. Grlgson
was always intending to "have the
thing fixed," but never did it, and by
rommon consent, the members of the
family usually stepped over It, par
ticularly when the head of the family
had gone to bed.
One night, very late, Just as Mr.
Grlgson was dropping off to Bleep,
somebody Btepped on that board and
It gave forth Its customary loud pro

called out. "That's you this time,

WANTS DRINKERS TO GET LICENSEE
Spokane Wash. Politician. Believes JrL& Jrlas
Solved the Liquor Problem.
Spokane. Wash. The Republican
party In this State Is pledged to local
option and the Democrats are on rec
ord as favoring absolute prohibition.
Knowing that there are voterB to
whom neither course is acceptable.
E. E. Hall, of Spokane, who la a
candidate, has come forward with a
novel plan. He would compel every
man nnd woman who drinks Intoxi
cating liquors to pay a license fee,
exempt saloon men and permit any
one who desires to engage in the traf
fic, the sole restriction being to sell
only to license holders.
Outlining his plan. Hall said that
while he is willing to stand squarely
upon the Republican State platform
and vote for the passage of a local
option law, If eleeted, he will intro
duce a measure which provides that
the man who drinks the liquor should
pay the license. He added:
"My plan would be to abolish all
saloon licenses, permitting any man
desiring to do bo to sell liquor. If a
man wants to drink he shouid' be
compelled to lake out a li?enso tc
do so, and It should be a misdemean
Of for any person to sell to a inar
who does not have such a license
Such licenses should be issued bj
county and city, a reasonable fee
being about $5 a year for count
licenses and from f 1 to $3 a year (oi
city. This would bring in a larger
revenue than under the present
license system, snd would put the
burden where it belongs.
"Each license thus issued should
have attached thereto a photograph
of the person taking it out, so there
could be no using of the license ex
cept by this man. It should also
contain a provision that a conviction
for drunkenness at any time would
be punished by a revocation of the
license for a period of six months or
a year. This appears to me to be the
logical solution of the liquor question
in districts where saloons are not
barred by local option."
In Oratory a Drawback?
The great orators have not been
the most fortunate aspirants for the
Presidency. Webster, Clay, Douglar-.
and Blaine were idolized by their
followers, not only for their abilities'
and personal traltB. but also for their
persuasive powers of speech. Horace
Greeley, candidate of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans in 1872, was
not a notable orator, but was, none
the less, an effctive talker. He made
a speaking tour In the latter part
of the campaign, and although his
position was an anomalous one. ho
acquitted himself with credit, even
If he was overwhelmingly defeated

after all the talk is over, what do
they do for women in the fields of
scholarship?"
This Is what the Rev. James Mon
roe Taylor, president of Vassar Col
lege, said to the graduates at the
rommencc.meut exercises in the col
lege chapel. Dr. Tayl ir was defend
ing Vbssui-'b method of limiting the
number of students and of leaving
post graduate work to other colleges.
"This does not mean that we yield
to any college In the world as to
scholarship," ho said. "It means
that we have kept our academic work
sanitary long enough to understand
that not all who study can be schol
ars. We hold that beyond four years
of a course in a woman's college a
woman with a vocation of scholarship
In view would better go to the greet
universities und there strive for her
degrees."
The sentiment expressed by Dr
Taylor, that few women have any ca

that obtained In four years at college,
aroused vigorous applause, and the
chapel was thronged with parent;

Life Bared by Cntteara.
"I hnvo been treated by doctors for
twenty-live years for a bud ruse of cczomn
on my leg. They did their best, but
fiulcil to eure it. My doctor had advised
me to have my leu eut off. A tins time
my lez was peeled from the knee, my foot
was like a picie of raw Hesli, unci I had to
walk on crutches. I bought a set of I'uti
cum Remedies. After the first two treat
ments the swelling went down, and in two
months my lez was cured nnd the new skin
came on. The doctor was surprised and
said that he would use t'uticura for his
own patients. I have now been c ured over
seven years, and but for the (,'uticura Rem
edies I might hove lost my life. Mrs. J. B.

There is hardly anything that a
woman enjoys more than doing some
thing for charity that It wouldn't be
right to do for anything else.
