Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.

bank clerk.

Like Niagara, Montmorency Falls is being chained 
by huge dams and tunnels for power purposes. 
The boys present at the love feast presented Mrs. J. 
\Y. Baker, who takes a great interest in St. Mary’s 
Episcopal Church, with $35 toward the. good work. King 
Edward VII. presented the church with a Bible shortly 
after it was opened, and the Bible also bears the auto- j 
graph of Prince Arthur, placed there when he visited 
the Kent House, in 1906. The church is located on the 
grounds. 
Oh, what a duet when Wholly Smoke and Powder 
Monkey are snoring in unison. 
When Tom Marshall heard about the telegram the 
tribe sent to Skelly and Banks, he exclaimed, “Say, Tom, 
that will hold that pair for a day or two, anyhow.” 
The commander of one of the British men-of-war in the 
harbor sent up a messenger to inquire who was throwing j 
projectiles into the river. 
Chief Uniform Pattern (Alex. Dey) looked after the 
interests of his ammunition company, acted as cashier, 
and incidentally shot through the entire programme. 
“Pie’s de stuff.” 
A lady from New York purchased two young bear cubs 
out of the collection. She said they would have the 
Teddy bears “trimmed a block.” 
Tim Skelly and Ed Banks sent the following telegram 
to Tom Duff: “Our bodies. chained to business, but our 
spirits with you in Quebec.” 
There will be a good attendance of Canadian shooters 
at the Grand American Handicap in Chicago, and the 
boys are looking forward to meeting their American 
cousins. King Pin. 
The Canadian Indians held their second 1 annual pow¬ 
wow May 25-26, in Quebec, Canada, at the Kent House 
Park, directly overlooking the St. Lawrence River and | 
within 200yds. of Montmorency Falls, formed by the 
Montmorency River, which in a wild, headlong rush, 
plunges over a precipice 270ft. (140ft. higher than 
Niagara), and empties into the St. Lawrence half a mile | 
distant. 
The shooting grounds—well, they certainly merit de¬ 
scription. Situated upon a plateau directly overlooking 
the St. Lawrence River, Quebec in plain view upon the 
right, Lewis directly opposite, and small, quaint French 
villages dotting the hills in every direction. It was cer¬ 
tainly one of the most beautiful and picturesque points 
that could have been selected. 
The traps were placed on the brow of the precipice, 
and targets thrown into space. Cross currents of a r 1 
were wafting across the face of the bluff, and the flight 
of the targets very much resembled 1 the drift of an in¬ 
dustrious bur.ch of chimney swallows during an evening j 
flight. As the many holes were shot in the air where ! 
the targets should have been, but had suddenly disap- j 
peared, just as the contestant had confidently pressed 
the trigger, faces were a study as they turned from the 
score, and some sympathizing friend would ask, “How j 
many did you get in that 20?” and the answer would be 
returned in a weak and I-need-sympathy tone of voice, 
“I got them all, but ten or twelve,” or some number 
almost equally ridiculous; but when a contestant made 
a half way respectable score, he was surrounded by n 
hunch of admirers, all anxious to congratulate, until 
perhaps he would be called to the score.for the next 
event, when he would perforate the air in the wrong 
place and put up ten or twelve misses. Thus the halo of 
glory disappeared from around him; thus one by one 
did the favorites fall by the wayside until at the close 
of the Indian tournament, Montmorency Heights was 
strewn with the hopes and ambition of 96 per cent, 
shooters, and tally sheets recorded in many cases as low 
as 60 per cent. Many declared their intention of taking 
dolls, dishes and guns and going home, refusing to- play- 
any more; but time will heal the wound, and ere long 
these scores will be forgotten. An itching of the trigger 
finger will attack them, and again they will pursue the 
elusive bkierock, and when a straight appears to their 
credit, will he as “chesty” as of yore. 
Sure Tom Duff was there, and much in evidence— 
when everything was ready for the first shot to be fired, 
spurring the actual battle. Duff, in a most eloquent 
speech, conferred the honor (?) upon the two visiting 
American Indians, J. A. R. Elliott and the writer, of 
firing the first two shots of the tournament, in view of the 
fact that two targets had been especially provided of 
wood. There was very little doing, aside from amusing 
the assembly. The consolation was ours, that while 
Tom Duff introduced' us to the assembly, in a tone of 
voice that made Montmorency Falls sound like a bah 
bling brook, after he had shot two events he could 
scarcely be heard above a whisper, and when four events 
were to his credit, he was strictly in the “house cat 
class,” -tnd was ready at any and all times thereafter to 
“eat from any hand” that was extended to him with any 
indication of sympathy or kindness. 
Was the tournament a success? Well, I guess yes— 
in every sense of the word. This goes without saying. 
If ever there was a congenial, hospitable aggregation of 
thoroughbreds amalgamated together in a swell organiza 
tion, it is the Canadian Indians. Social features are j 
paramount at their tournaments, and all act as though 
they were personally deputized on the entertainment 
committee, and leave no stone unturned to give you j 
“the time of your life.” 
As High Chief of the American Indians, I say, come 
and see ms, bring your squaws and pappooses, live in our 
tepees and wickey-ups, eat our bread and smoke our 
pipes. Our homes are your homes. Let the American ■ 
spirit of good fellowship permeate your system as th' 
Canadian has ours; and, if any ever existed, which 1 
question, we will guarantee you a general melting of the 
icicles from around your hearts. Come and see us, an [ 
take a good, long, lingering pull at the latch string ot 
our tepees. 
Jim Elliott thinks he could score more targets if per¬ 
mitted to use some of the cannon surmounting the , 
parapets of Quebec. Henry and Howard, Mesdames 
McCall and Craig were the only squaws present who a;*J 
tended the Indian tournament at Montreal last year--! 
all were extremely popular, and were met with a gla 1 
hand by all when in sight.
