MUSIC HATH CHARMS TO
SOOTHE THE SAVAGE BEAST
Here is a fresh bear story right off
tiu? reel. It is a true bear story anil
illustrates the resourcefulness of man
kind when up against it.
Hugh Sawyer and John Wall were
logging last week about three miles
fiom their cabin. The first blow from
their ax into a big tree brought forth
a growl from the branches. A bear
vas up there snapping his teeth and
sweariug like a longshoreman. Their
p*'e was three miles away and with j
remarkable co'ncidcnce of thought j
| they each wanted the other one to
stay there and guard the bear while
l.o went for the gun. Wall got start
ed first and Sawyer had to keep Mr. |
Bruin treed. He took the ax, walked
r round the tree and said "shoo." The
bear tore off a few yards of bark and
dared Sawyer half way. The man j
I u ith the ax started a peace confer
ence and suggested arbitration; no-i
thing doing. .Mr. I tear then wrinkled
up his back, snorted defiance and j
> tarted to crawl down.
liight at this point came in some of
the fine resourcefulness of a human
being in distress. Sawyer started to
whistle but his lips trembled so lie j
( mild only make a tremulous squeak J
[ which exasperated the bear beyond
endurance.
Sawyer is a young man and life
seemed sweet. He had not given
much attention to religion since coin
ing to Alaska and he wanted a little
more time to brush up on his cate
chism. Way back east in his innocent
[youth he once sang in the village
choir. He remembered that every
time he sang people used to climb
trees or get out on the roof. lie
vould try it oil the bear. The effect;
\?as magical. At the first note the
bear stopped and as his voice rose in
volume the bear crept out on the I
branch, bowed his head and was silent
The scene was dramatic. Way out
there in the stillness of the great for
est this lonely singer soothed the sav
age beast by the power of song. For
three hours he poured forth his lay
and Deacon Bruin never batted an
oye. The birds stopped to listen and
the gentle zephyrs paused and held
their breath. It was like a scene tak
en from the ancient tales of Orpheus.
Walt returned with the rifle and shot
the bear, which was nearly dead any
way. Even a bear couldn't stand tha
singing much longer. ? Ketchikan Min

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat*
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc
lias proven catarrh to bo a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
Cheney At Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
