although not yet strong, started on
his first hunting trip last Thursday
since his flgbt with the bear. He

deer in the snow, not supposing
that there were any bear remaining
out of their winter quarters. In
the locality where he had had the
narrow escape in November, much
to his surprise, ho struck the fresh

bear struggled in the snow, and,
knowing that ho had given the big

quietly in his tracks watching it die.
Suddenly the bear sprang to its feet,
and, with one plunge through the
snow, threw itself bodily upon the

when some provision of law may be
made to limit the number of hours

persons can be employed in these
shops. A bill for Wale purpose and
