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

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

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.

LABOR BUT FOUR HOURS.
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

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.
