The mighty hunters. Including Pntsi
(tout Booeevelt, of bears and other big
game bad better go lightly on their
?toxica for the rest of the season,
alnoe the latest Instance of the year
ha* become public, although it was
not through the chief participant In
the incident that it was made public.
This time there was n woman In the
caae. She is Mrs. Mary Moore, who
baa charge of the linen room at the
Antlers hotel at Colorado Springs dur
ing the winter. She spends her sum
mars on a claim that she has taken
up on Cheyenne mountain, above Wade
City, Colo., where she has a cabin und
Uvea alone during the summer.
8he left the hotel, as usual, early lu
the summer, taking with her, among
other things, a whole ham and a
bunch of rotnan candles that had bevn
left at the hotel and had been relegat
ed to the linen room with other odds
and ends. These were presented to
her by Manager Dunning when she
left this summer.
One recent night Mrs. Moore was
awakened by a noise. She arose hasti
ly and In the bright moonlight saw a
big bear suutlilng about the barricade
of chains ami boxes which she had
placed in the open doorway for cooling
purposes during the night. The bear
had smelled the bam and was after It
Mrs. Moore was almost paralyzed
with fright. She had no tirearms of
any kind or any chauce of securlug I
outside help. ^
The bear was rapidly making head
way in breaking down the barricade in
the doorway. Something had to be
done and that quickly.
Remembering In her excitement that
beara are alarmed at the smell of pow
der, Mrs. Moore lit one of the roman
candles. After lighting It she whizzed |
It In a narrow circle In front of the
bear, some of the balls of lire striking
him in the eyes and on thfe nose.
The animal reared back on its
haunchM In rheer wonderment. tTpot

without further Investigation ran
around the mountain aide.
Bug Explore* a Yawn.
Augustus Travers while attending
church near Danville, Ky., almost
caused a panic among the large con
gregation. It was a late hour, and he
yawned vigorously, sucking Into his
windpipe a large bug with horny legs.
The Insect l?egan to scratch and claw,
and Travers emitted loud, gurgling
sounds and strange guttural whoops.
Travers was so pained and excited
that he could tell no one the cause of
his mysterious action, aud members of
the congregation became frightened
and began leaving the church. Finally
the bug wan ejected from the atr pas
sage. and quiet was restored.

1 not man? miles from Ottawa, states
that while bunting one day In the
I wood* near the Gatincau ho saw a
wild Woman, who fled when he ap
proached her. Her clothing was made
?f leaves. It appears that owjng to an

has ever slucv shunned human society
and lived in the depths of the bush.
How she keeps alive during the severe
winter Is a mystery to the inhabitants
of the region, many of whom have seen
her.
