Where the Hunter Shot Her Is Now Called Bear's House. Along ono of tho branches of the Cheyenne river in South Dakota there stands a hill called Matotl, or Bear's House. Tradition tells this Indian legend about it: Onco upon a timo an Indian hunter was out on the chase. Ho wandered for many a day through forest and plain, over hill and dale, till he finally came to n spot whero Henr'a House now Is. Here he hunted for a while until one day ho met a beautiful Indian woman. As soon as ho saw hor ho wanted to marry her. Long and hard was tho wooing, for tho Indian woman wns unwilling to marry tho stranger. At last alio consented, but she made tho stranger promise that ho would never In the future hunt or kill tho bear. This animal was her totem, snered to her and nn object of hor wor ship. Tho hunter fnlthfuly promised to obey her wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave tho bear unharmed. Then they wore married nnd lived on In happiness and contentment for many n day. Once It happened that the hunter started on the chaBe. Early he went and roamed nil through tho neighboring forest without killing a single thing. At last he becamo weary nnd tired from tho chase mid resolved to return to his wigwam. As ho was approaching his home ho saw In the dusky twilight tho dark nnd shaggy form of a huge bear making straight for tho wigwam. "Now my wlfo will bo lost," ho thought, "for If tho bear reaches thero bofore mo ho will sUrely kill her." Doubt at first stayed hla hand, for ho rcmom bored hla marriage vow. Hut foar nnd anxiety overcame hla doubts. Ho raised his bow to his shoulder nnd aimed at the animal. Ono arrow sent straight to tho heart laid tho animal low, When tho Indian camo noar ho saw Instead of tho boar tho llfoless form of his wlfo. The hill whero they lived la Btlll called tho Dear's House, or Matotl Hill. MR. G0SL1NGT0N GOT EVEN Collision of III Mannered Man and Fire Hydrant Afforded Him Much ' Satisfaction.

Cbvoid QpatatioTtd When p. woman suffering from some form of feminine disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course frightens her. The very thought of the hospital operating table and the surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
