TH ü MDAT, Jori 1, IMI IN TIGHT CORNER Trapper Tells How It Feels to Be * Trapped. Bear Huntsr Experienced Uneomfort able Night in Snare He Had Pre- pare« tor Ferocious Old Gr.z^ly. "Uld Mose” was one of the most fe rocious bears in the Rockies. He was a notorious "bad actor," according to Mr. A. L. Corson in the Wide World Magazine, and foiled all attempts to shoot or trap him. Indeed, he seemed to have a charmed life. On one occasion a man named Han cock tried to trap him. lu placing the bait inside the trap, Haucock ac cidentally touched the trigger, and the logs came down and imprisoned him. He tried to pry the heavy timbers apart, but found thut he could not shift them an ingli. From one side of the trap to the other he went, uncon sciously imitating the movements Bruin would have made in hunting for a weak point. AU his efforts were fruitless. The pangs of hunger were now coin ing on, and night was near. Hancock scraped up some chips and twigs, made a fire and roasted part of tile deer that he had brought to bait the trap with. Being lightly dressed, lie suf fered keenly from the cold night air. He lay down on the ground, but sud denly he heard sniffing sounds out side and detected, by the dim light of the moon, a dark form gazing through the chinks between the logs. Hancock felt safe, although his gun was stand ing by a tree some distance from the trap; Mose—for it was no other— seemed to realize the fact. Knowing his savage nature, Han cock withdrew to the other side of the trap as the big form rose up on his hind legs. He could feel the bear’s hot breath surging through between the logs upon his face; and, fearing that the brute would thrust his claws In. he kept moving from side to side. Daylight came at last, and Mose trotted off. Again Hancock built a fire and cooked the rest of the deer meat. He almost decided to set on" end of the -trap on tire nnd burn Ills way out. But what if he were un able to control the blaze? If he could reach his rille, lie would Jae in a posi tion to shoot his way out, for lie had a belt full of cartridge’s. His horse, tired of standing round, had long ago made for home. The next morning, the neighbors, seeing Hancock's horse In the yard, surmised that the “outlaw of the Rock ies” had secured another victim. Sev- eeral cattlemen started out in search of Hancock. In the middle of the afternoon they heard shooting, but at first they could see nothing. Hancock had torn his shirt into strips, making a rope about 20 feet long. He had then tied two stones to a string about a yard long and fas tened one end of the long line to the mtddle. Then he threw the stones out between the cracks of his prison toward the rifle. After two hours of practice he was able to drag the gun within reach. He then tried des perately to "nt his way out by shoot ing holes through a log about a foot in diameter. Before he got very far his comrades had located the shot» and released him. Had Feared the Worst It is a, sad thing to have to relate, but Mr. Spongedry came home the oth er night “wet.” Not externally, but internally; he had drunk wine or spir its or beer! With uncertain footsteps he climbed the stairs, with itchy, nervous fingers he unclothed himself, witli swimming head he lay down in his bed. Mrs. Spongedry had, however, heard his antl-catlike tread. Thinking to frighten him. she cov ered her head with a sheet and ap proached his bed. Spongedry sat up in bed and gazed In wonder at the spook. “Who is that?” he asked. “I am a ghostcame the answer from the sheet. “Oh. that's all right, then: But you did give me a fright! I thought you were my wife!"—London Tit-Bits.

A typical illustration of Gennnn rule in Poland before freedom came to its people is given by Mrs. Cecil Chesterton In the New Witness. The German military authorities had is sued a command to the people of War saw that they should furnish a list of their metals and plate, from door handles to samovars. A German officer billeted tn a Polish household, says Mrs. Chesterton, found himself lonely on Christmas day. The family was keeping the fes tival. and the officer sent a note ask ing If he might join the party. The hostess was compelled to assent, and Herr Lieut. Grunsbach partook of a lavish supper. It happened that his hostess hud kept back a sliver samo- vur, which, usually secreted under the bed. on Christmas day shone forth in all Its glory. .Some oue suggested thnt it would be wiser to remove the samovar be fore the Herr Lieutenant entered, but the hostess Insisted that he was there as a guest and not as an enemy, and that even a Prussian would respect bread and salt The evening fol “CRUCIFIX FISH” 023 CURIO the lowing the party an unpleasant-look ing man came to the house accom Figure of Man on Cross Plainly Re. panied by two German soldiers.

How We Build The Structure of Good Paint E make good paints like this—to save you money; and we’ve put 72 years’ experi ence into them. We use pure PIONEER WHITE LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and color in scientific ally exact proportions. The lead base is made so fine that it will pass through a silk screen with 40,000 meshes to the square inch. That means covering capacity and ease of Spread. A special device super-purifies the lead, making it “Whiter” so Fuller paints are exceptionally clear-toned. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed in specially designed machines, so the paint is always uniform and smooth.

In Its efforts to determine the ex tent to which the vapors of fires are actively poisonous, the United States bureau of mines has sought vaenum- bottle samples of air from different places In burning buildings In 25 cit ies. Certain indications have been re ported from the contents of such bot tles as have been returned. Most dreaded at fires is carbon monoxide, but only one sample of air from above ground showed this gas, the quantity in that case being too small to harm when breathed a short time.
