Governor Harvy revoked tlje parole granted by Governor c Cooper to a convict.

No matter what we law- h and-order folks think. a Some farmers and planters are ^ so prejudiced against what they r call "oook farming" that if tlie.v happened to read what they saw was good farm doctrine, would ^ be slow to profit by it. What is I' "hook farming?" It is the ex- ? perience of men who know what is what, many of them learning w from exiHjrience.

The recent coal strike cost 1,190,000,000 divided as follows: 'ages of miners. $450,000,000, iilroads in freights, $300,000,X), public in cost of fuel $400,30.000, and mine owners, $40,30,000. It is not hard to say who lost ut, this will enable one to sa.v ho did not win. About theouly lass who can strike a balance is lat class composed of the miur's union officials. They sit ack in their swivel chairs, draw loir salaries?fat ones too, chew )e cud, while the laborers or ered out pay for the dance, hese fellows won, or at least did in. tose. Strikes should be made imossible, and we believe this will e done some day. We have no doubtsthat some usbands are so mean and trifng that they need to be killed r disposed of in some other ray, but we believe they should e legally disposed of by electrontion or hanging and not lynchd bv wives. One trouble about rives taking the Jaw in their ands is that it is establishing a augerous precedent, and there i no telling where the matter iay end. It is possible.that the inocent hubby might suffer. Is it any more harmful or any lore wrong for a young minis sr just coming into the minisry to use tobacco than it is for n older one (in years or point of ervice) who is already in serice to use the weed? The dis'nction is not exactly clear to s as it looks like one and the ame rule should apply in either ase. If it is an evil in one in tance it seems to us to be an vil in the other It seems to us d be hardly fair and consistent u say to the recruits you must ive up the tobacco habit and at lie same time those who make he ruling retain the habit. It i just as hard for a man outside he sacred fold to lay aside the abit as it is for one on the inide to do so. A much better ef? ect would result if those making lie law would by way of example irst apply it to themselves. It. 110 doubt a good thing for alt linistersof the gospel to refrain I rom the use of tobacco, as it rould be a good thing for any Hum* ?1 'si of men to be non us i -i ?i li.? weed.

From Evidence It Seemed That Animal Had Been Taken in Trap, but Had Broken Away. Joseph Duret, pioneer hunter and trapper, a man who knew all the tricks of the game, was killed near Livingston, Mont., recently by a grizzly hear. Duret owned a nice ranch In the southern part of l'urk county, Montana, near the boundary of the Yellowstone National park, and he knew all the tricks of the hunting game, was well aware of the danger of encountering a vicious bear and yet he appears to have Ulrteil with death in trying to kill ulone a huge grizzly, and to have lost. Buret caught the animal in one 01' his game traps?a huge steel device thut fastened itself with n clamp about the paw. tie hastily returned home for Wis large-bore rifle and told his wife of hla catch. Mrs. Duret never saw him again. Hla failure to retuflk prompted her to search ihe hills wltt dogs In vain. Then she apDealetT^B the Yellowstone par* ran"{era. They spread out over the country and after a long search W. Hutchings, assistant at the park buffalo corrals, and Ranger William Dehnoff found Duret's mangled body nearly two miles from where he had engaged In a lifeand-death struggle with the beast. It was a wild, desolate place not ten miles from Vhere Duret in 19l0, was Introduced to and warmly greeted by President Roosevelt. Pieces of hair and torn flesh, rem* nants of the broken trap and a clawed and chewed rifle told the story of the fight Duret made. Superintendent Horace M. Albright of Yellowstone park, who Investigated the old hunter's death, said the grizzly was a veteran brute of the park for which hunters had covered many a mile. It apparently had succeeded in breaking away from the trap after Duret fired a shot. It Is believed the bear broke a chain which attached the trap to a tree, then attacked the hunter, whose rifle had apparently Jammed. T# amwawm* that ti tvma ?|i|faicui uiai l/ui ci uau tried to defend himself by using his rifle as.a club, but hia fight was uselese. One arm and a leg were torn off and the body was mangled. It is believed he became unconscious, then revived after the bear had wearied of his prey and dragged away the chain attached to the trap. Signs indicated that Duret managed to crawl nhout two miles toward his home. The rangers say he must have retained full possession of his faculties, as he was making a straight line to his ranch when death overtook him.
