TO SWIM THE CHANNEL. Miss Lillian Smith, captain of the Ladies' Perseverance Swimming Club, ot England, has declared her inten tion of trying to swim the English Channel during the present season. Though she Is only eighteen, she has already performed some remarkable feats as a swimmer. She accom panied Jabes Wolff e in one of his at tempts to swim the Channel and re v mained in the water four and a halt hours. She Is not the first woman to make the attempt. Last year Annette Kellerman, of Australia, made a val iant effort to reach Calais, but failed. WALTZ NEVER OUT OF FASHION. Dances may come and dances may go, but the waltz, which this year attains Us centenary, never loses its popularity. It Is the most graceful dance left to us now that the.days ot the minuet are over, and It has in spired some ot the most delightful strains in the world of melody. Where every other dance nowadays Is a waltz it is necessary to accomplish this really well, and the girl who gains a reputation as a graceful waltzer rarely suffers from the ago nies of "wallflowerdom," If we may coin such a word. Woman's Life. SUFFRAGE IN DENMARK. The women ot Denmark are re joicing over the granting ot com munal and municipal suffrage to them. A delegation from the Danish Natlqnal Suffrage Association waited upon the Prime Minister and the Min ister of the Interior to present me morials thanking them for their ef forts in behalf of their country- French Salad Dressing. The bowl In which the dressing Is to be made should be rubbed with garlic or halt an onion. Just enough will adhere to the bowl to flavor the dressing. Now put in one teaspoonful ot salt, half a teaspoontul of pepper, and pour slowly over this, a few drops at a time, half a cupful of olive oil. Stir well all the time, and when the salt is dissolved add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. This should be" well blended with the other ingredients, and the dressing should be used at once. s women. At the public celebration both ministers delivered short speeches congratulating the women on their victory. During the Jubilee banquet that night a telegram was sent to the King, who returned an answer expressing his good wishes tor the results of the reform. MME. MAETERLINCK'S WIT. Georgette Leblane, the actress and Singer, who In private life is Mme. Maeterlinck, has a strong sense ot humor and a pretty natural wit. In Paris they are reciting with enjoy ment her latest bit of repartee. She was on tour lately In a pro Tlncfal town where a local company was engaged to support her in one ot Maeterlinck's plays. But the local support was weak and halting 'and tte poet's lines were mangled, some of the actors apparently not in the least understanding what they were saying. Mme. Maeterlinck, whose admin: atioa for her husband is public his tory, indignantly sought out her Manager. "A writer like Maurice Maeter linck should be treated with more re spect," she said Indignantly. "Madame," he answered, "M. Mae terlinck is not the first to suffer. Sophocles, Mollere and Racine are daily murdered in the same way." "Possibly," quickly replied Mme. Maeterlinck, "but they are not mur dered alive, at any rate!" Philadel phia Record. FOOD FOR HUSBANDS. . A woman, discussing how to feed a husband, said she soon cured her husband of fusslneas and faddlshness about his food. He said that he had to take what he could get. Now, why should he? His work and money buy every scrap of food which enter the home. It is the husband's right that he should have the food that ho likes best, properly cooked and served on the table he bought, in the house whose rent he pays, by the wife to whom he gives a housekeeping allow ance as a-trust fund. He striven his very best to support his family In comfort and some degree ot luxury. His wife should strive her very best to lay out the money he intrusts her with so as to secure health, happiness and content in the home. It is a very clear bargain between husband and wife. If a man is "grumpy" at meals there's usually something the matter with the meals. The sourest-tempered male begins to smile when the savory scent of an appetizing dish rises like Incense before the altar of his appetite. Kisses and sentiment do not compensate a man for poor cooking and monotonous catering. New York Times. WILL TEACH LOVE OF FLAG.

Many of the upper servants In Rus sian households lead very easy lives. During a period when waiters and chambermaids employed at large es tablishments, hotels and restaurants In Warsaw decided to strike, many servants In private houses refused to support them, and some soon re turned to their employers. A servant in the employ of one old nobleman who does not exact much work from his household received the men who had come to persuade him to Join them. "What do you gentle men want?" he asked languidly from the sofa on which he was reclining. "To Join" the general strike for an eight hour day," was the reply. The servant sprang from his sofa. "How dare you even suggest such a thing?" he demanded indignantly. "I never heard of anything like it In my life! Eight hours Indeed! Why, you won't find a self respecting foot man in the whole town to support such a movement!" "How many hours do you work?" asked the as tonished delegates. "Two or three at the most. I Bpend most of my time on this sofa, reading the news papers, which are very interesting, Just now. I'm not fool enough to follow your example, gentlemen!" "Then give us some money for the committee," the deputation urged. "Never! I should be acting against all my principles If I gave as much as a kopeck toward supporting an or ganization which is in favor ot do mestic servants working eight hours a dayl" New Haven Register. Velvet wraps are worn with linen gowns. ' A beautiful taffeta gown is covered by a batiste redingote. The colors ot ribbon should be gov erned by the gowns one has. This season all the best gowns have sleeves that are no sleeves at all. Petticoats of different material from the tunlo are conspicuous on gowns. The square dot is a very effective design for decorating collars, waists, belts, etc. Short boas of feathers are worn and tied at the back with a bow of black velvet. The new skirt hugs close to the limbs and lies in a wad on the ground around the feet. Hats of the lightest description are needed to complete the picture during the present season. Ruches just long enongh to go about the neck are tied in the middle In a way that suggests Elizabethan ruche. The inexpensive striped lawns make cool and delightful morning waists and frocks tor the house and veranda. Old rose is a color that Is coming very much into fashion at the present moment, and It can be used for an all-white gown. It Is always good to have a band and a bow of black, and one of black and white striped ribbon, as these go with every costume. Sweet peas represent modistic tri umph just now, the manufacturers having surpassed themselves In the beauty ot the colorings. Add a dainty touch to the simple white lawn waist you are embroider ing with soutache by putting the seams together with the tiny French beading. The ideal skirt for clinging, grace ful lines is made of one of those soft materials like chiffon cloth with a band of satin about the lower edge to drag it down. There was a question whether the the fashionable American woman would adopt the sheath style; but the sale of satin knickerbockers to match gowns and the falling off 'ot pottl coat sales tells the story. Hunting Bears inTexas The San Bernard bottoms, embrac ing an area ot about 30,000 acres in Texas; are overrun with bears and deer. It is claimed by experienced bear hunters that there are more bears in these bottoms than are to be found in any .other district ot cor responding size in the United States. This fact is so well known to bear hunters all over the country that they come here in large numbers every year to engage in the exciting sport. William J. Bryan, John W. Gates, Charles C. Gulden, of Boston, and many others have tried their hands at killing the big game In -this natural rendezvous ot the black bear. Bear hunting on the San Bernard Is carried on differently from the usual manner of that sport. This is due to the fact that the territory bor dering on the San Bernard Is an al most Impenetrable wilderness ot wild cane and brush. In order to make it possible to get at the bears trails have had to be cut through the dense thicket. These trails are only about three feet wide. They serve as pas sageways for the bears and deer as well as for the hunters. The trails have to be cleared of new growth every fall, just before the hunting season begins. Will Martin, who is the most noted bear hunter of this section, attends to keeping the trails open and to pre paring the place for the onslaughts ot the hunters. Mr. Martin has about eighty miles of bear trails cut, and he spends much ot his spare time in cutting new trails. He says that' be fore the end of the present winter be will have 150 miles ot trails cut through-the dense cane and brush. It Is simply impossible to do any hunting away from these trails, ex cept at occasional open spots. Mr. Martin owns the best pack of bear dogs in Texas, according to the state ments of those who have hunted with them. When they get on the trail of a bear the hunters are assured ot a lively time. The dogs seem to know instinctively where the hunters are posted, and they bring their quarry past the places where shots may be obtained. There are also some good packs of deer dogs in this section, and great numbers of these animals have been killed in the San Bernard bottoms during the present open season. The fact that the bear hunting must practically all be done in the narrow trails that have been cut through the underbrush has led to some exciting encounters with bears. Three or four years ago, John W. Gates, the Wall Street magnate, came down here with a party of Eastern sportsmen for the purpose ot killing a few bears. Mr. Gates refused the service of a guide and started to fol low one of the bear trails alone. He was armed with a ride and a hunting-knife.- He had not penetrated the thicket more than a few hundred yards when at a sudden turn In the trail he came face to face with a big, black bear. Mr. Gates and the bear were within five or sic feet ot each other when they received the first hint of each other's presence. Mr. Gates is large ot physique, and the bear likewise was of such big propor. tlons that it would have been a diffi cult thing tor him to turn around In the narrow trail. It is a rare thing for a black bear to lead in an attack upon a man, but in this instance the animal evidently thought that it muBt get by Mf. Gates in order to escape. It reared upon its hind legs and came at Mr. Gates at a rate of speed that gave the latter no chance to turn and back track on the trail. The bear was too close to use his rifle to ad vantage, and Mr. Gates drew his hunting-knife and met the onslaught of the bear with a cool and deter mined hand. At the same time, he shouted for help. The bear got in one cuff on the body ot Mr. Gates with its big left paw, but before It could give another blow Mr. Gates had given It a death stab in the region of its heart. The aqlmal dropped to the ground and Mr. Gates followed up the first Btab with several more in order to make sure thatlt was dead. Just as he was finishing his bloody work, sev eral members of the hunting party, who had heard his cries for help, rushed single file up the trail and were in at the finish. Mr. Gates was laid up for a few days as a result ot the Injury which he received from the blow of the bear. The animal weighed 400 pounds. William J. Bryan killed two bears on his last hunting trip in the San Bernard bottoms, two or three years ago. Mr. Martin had everything In readiness for Mr. Bryan's visit. He had the pack ot bear dogs out tor several days before the entry ot Mr. Bryan to the hunting grounds and the bears had been driven over to a particular locality ot the bottoms where they awaited Bryan's coming. Mr. Bryan was accompanied by a guide and the two men saw many more bears than the distinguished Nebraskan killed. Ex-Governor J. S. Hogg, who took great pleasure in bear hunting, accompanied Mr. Bryan on that trip to the San Bernard bot toms. Exciting experiences of bear hunt ers have not been lacking since the present season opened. C. V. Snell, who lives near Delma, Texas, over on the Sabine River, came down to Col umbia, Texas, several days ago, and went overland from that place to San Bernard bottoms, where he estab lished a camp. He had a pack of bear dogs with him. He said that he had hunted bear In the canebrakes along the Sabine River for many years and that his dogs were un equalled when it came to rounding up bears. Mr. Snell refused the services ofthe professional hunters here abouts, who offered to pilot him through the winding trails and take him to the habitat of the bears. He said that he was well used to river bottoms and could get along all right without any help except that which would be afforded him by his dogs. The first thing that Mr. Snell did when they got In the labyrinth of trails was to get lost. He weuded his way through the maze of trails for two days and nights and it was only by mere chance that he got out alive. Toward the close ot the second day he heard a shot near by, and going toward the location of the sound he came upon a hunter who brought him out of the wilderness. His pack of dogs had stayed with htm through all of the long hours. They were likewise half-famished for food and water. Mr. Snell rested up for a few days, and then made another visit Into the bottoms after bears. He was accompanied by a guide this time. The dogs routed out a big bear, and it was cornered by the pack in one of the narrow trails. Before Mr. Snell could reach the spot and get a shot at the animal it had killed three ot his best dogs, and would prob ably have finished the others if a bullet from the guide's rifle had not put an end to Its existence. Mr. Snell was so disgusted with his experiences in hunting bears In these bottoms that he broke camp and returned to his home on the Sabine. Rufus Carlton, of Walnut Springs, Texas, came down here a few days ago, and went into bottoms to hunt bears. He was out but a short time when he came In sight of a bear which was lumbering along ahead of him In one of the trails. Mr. Carlton got up close to the animal and killed It at the first , shot.; It weighed 400 pounds dressed. "Bud" Smith, of Groveton, Texas, had a thrilling experience with a she-bear in the bottoms a few days ago He was hunting deer and was not thinking about any other kind of animal at the moment, when he sud denly heard a crashing sound behind him. He turned quickly and saw a big fear coming directly at him. The animal was mad all over that fact was plain to be seen by the snarl that twisted her lips. Mr. Smith showed rare coolness under the circum stances. He levelled his gun at the animal and took careful aim. The bullet struck a vital spot. It is sup posed that the cubs of the maddened animal were somewhere In the vicin ity, and that she was trying to protect them. This animal weighed 370 pounds dressed. Mr. Smith killed Ave deer during his week's hunt in the bottoms. "Buck ague" is a minor ill as com pared with the terrible feeling that comes over the novice hunter when he meets bis first bear. A man may be ever so hardened and experienced at hunting deer and other wild game, but his nerve leaves him when he comes face to face with bruin In these wilds. Many amusing stories are told here of experiences of this nature. Thomas Jackman and Joe Burns, both of Austin, went Into the San Bernard bottoms recently on a bear hunt. They are both crack shots, and have killed deer by the score. They had never hunted bears, but they thought it would be an easy matter to kill one of these animals wherever they found it. "They were standing near together In a little clearing in the bottoms listening and watching to see what kind of an animal was making the cane breaking noise a few yards off to.the right. There suddenly loomed up In front of them a monster black bear. The animal did not seem to notice the two men. It passed direct ly in front of them. .Trotting behind her were three half-grown cubs. The cubs took advantage of the open space to play a few antics, and one of them actually ran between the legs of Mr. Jackman, according to the story which he told when he returned to camp. The two hunters stood there with the guns in their hands and neither one of them seemed to realize that they were hunting bears until the animals had passed out of sight Into the thicket on the other side of the clearing. "I can't explain what was the mat ter with me," Mr. Jackman said after ward. "I think I must have been paralyzed for the time being. And to think that one of them cubs had the audacity to run right between my legs! I feel the disgrace keenly; I admit that." These two hunters each killed a bear the next day. Kansas City Star.
