And cries : "I'm just frozen from head to too ! '

"Wo were out hunting door , " said Joe ,
"and had camped the night before in

turning out in the morning we discovered
that there had boon n 1'glit ' fall of snow

were
A LARGE NUMBER OK HEAR TRACKS
around the camp. Packing ap our duds
wo started to follow the tracks which led
directly up the mountain on the regular
trail which wound around It clear to the
summit and then over the range. When
wo had goiio some miles and had reached
a point about half way up , the tracks
suddenly diverged Into some aapen tim
ber. Following for a short distance with
some difficulty , wo came to a place that
was very much broken , huge boulders
making further progroes almost impossi
bio. While deliberating what to do wo
suddenly hoard the grunt of a boar evi
dently near by. With rifle in hand we
looked around cautiously and diecovorod
an opening between two of the largest
rocks nnd marks showing the presence of
bruin. Ho waa In a sort of opening or
short cnvo formed by the rocks , but
110W TO GKT AT HIM
was the question. No ono cared to follow |
him , as wo wore sure ho was n pretty
tough customer to deal with , being evi
dently quito large and full grown , judg
ing from the trucks , At length an Idea
struck mo , and tolling the boys to stay
in fcont I wont cautiously around to the
back of the rocks and there saw a small
opening through which the tail of the
bear protruded. As I am pretty muscu
lar and have n good grip , 1 dropped my
rifle and grasped the bear's tail with both
hands , at the same time shouting with all
my might to the boys on the other side
to go in and shoot him. Talk about pull
ing ! That boar
rUILED WORSE THAN TEN MuLES ,
and I thought several times that my arms
would leave their sockets , but I braced
myself with my foot against the rocks
and hold on , the boor making a fearful
noise all the time. Suddenly I heard
several shots and the strain on my arms
lessened and I know ho was a goner.
Going around to the front I found the
boys had gene In and I joined them , The
bear was rolling in death agonies , snap
ping at and trying to got near ue. Finally
wo closed on him when with a last effort
ho rose suddenly and clasped Austin in
a terrible hng , bruising and
scratching him fearfully. At the last
moment Leo plunged his Hugo knife into
his heart and ho fell dead. They all
awarded the credit of the final shot , how
ever , to Billy Seed. The boar , which was a
full grown grizzly , and must hare weighed
over five hundred pounds , wo dragged
outside with some difficulty and skinned ,
it being impossible to take the carcass
the long distance to town. The skin is
at the Hotel Brunswick and you cau
judge whether ho was not a tough cus
tomer to hold. All of the party wore
considerably ( scratched and bruised and
showed signs of the severe struggle they
had undergone.

Northern Siberia is ono of the coldest ,
bleakest regions imaginable. It is n coun
try whore there is winter the year round ,
and where physical and human nature
are prematurely chilled and frosted out
of their natuial growth. It is the last
place in the world ono would look to for
great moral ideas , elevated notions of
the rights of property , and exact justice Bo
between man and man. Yet the people
there have these admirable attributes to ol
such a degree that their example is to
worthy emulation by nations which lay
claim to more perfect civilization. In

The romarksblo growth of Omahir
during the last fovr yonro Is n m&ttor ol
great nstonlshrnout to these wlio pay an
occ.ialounl visit to this growing city. The
development of the Stoo Yarda the
nocosalty of the Bolt Lliio Rood the
finolv paved utrooU the hundreds of now
resldoncoa nnd costly buslnosa blocks ,
with the population of onr city nioro than
doubled in the laat five years. All thlfl
la a great nurprlao to vlalton nnd la the
admiration of onr oltlzona. This rapid
growth , the business activity , and the
many substantial Improvements madn n
liroly demand for Omahn real estate , nnrj
orory Investor haa made D handaomo
profit.
Slnao the Wall Street panic May ,
with the subsonnont cry of hard times ,
there haa boon loaa demand from specula
tors , but a fair demand from Invostoro
Booking homos. Thin , latter olasa are
taking advantage of low prices In build
ing material and are securing tholr homoo
at much losa cost than will bo possible t >
year honco. Speculator , too can buy
real oBta * 9 cheaper now and ought to take
advant < o of proaout prices for future
pro t > .
The next forr yearn promises groatos
d ivol oprucnts In Omaha than the pose
fl v > years , which hare boon as good aa
wo could reasonably doslro. Now man
ufacturing establishment/ ) largo job
bing houses are added almost weekly , and
all add to the prosperity of Omaha.
There are many In Omaha and throngh-
bat the State , who have their money in
the banks drawing a nominal rate of
toroat , which , If judiciously invested in
Omaha real ohtato , would bring thorn ,
much greater roturua. Wo have many
bargains which wo are confident will
bring the purchaser largo profits In the
near future.
We have for Bale the finest resi
dence property iu the north and
western parts of the city.
North we have fine lots at reason
able prices on Sherman avenue , 17th ,
18th , 19th and 20th streets.
West on Farnara , Daveuport ,
Cuming , and all the leading streets
in that direction.
The grading of Farnam , Califor
nia and Davenport streets has made
accessible Borne of the finest and
cheapest residence property in the
lity , and with the buildmg of the
street car line out Farnam , the pro
perty in the western part of the city
will increase m value.
Wo also have the agency for the
Syndicate and Stock Yards proper-
, y in the south part of the city. The
developments made in this section
by the Stock Yards Company and
the railroads will certainly double
.he . price in a short time.
We also have some n'ne business

dencep for sale ,
