ANIMALS FEAR MEN. flereest of Them Seldom Attack, Save When Wounded, f all questions asked by people who have never been much out of doors, 1one seems so simple to the old-timers 28 that which concerns the dangers to which the camper may be exposed from the attacks of wild beasts, says Forest and Stream, It is chiefly women and children who ask such questions, but it is evident that in the brains of many inexperienced persons is firmly estab- lished a belief that wild animals are dangerous, that wolves, panthers and bears prowl about seeking whom they may devour. This belief is in all prob- ability a survival in part of earlier days, when the most civilized men dwelt largely in the East, where might be encountered lions who would attack them, or hyenas ready to snap up the stray child wandering away from the camp, or bears of the type encountered by the irreverent infants who apostro- phized Elisha; and’ also in part of that time when the weapons of primitive man were so feeble and of so little avail t the wild beasts that these were y to be feared. This feeling al- ready existing is encouraged and strengthened by a certain amount of he writing of the day. The average n and woman love to read a bear or nther or wolf story not less than do small boys and round-eyed children \listen with pleasure to the tales of some venerable uncle or grandfather oO relates the story of the wolves that used to howl about his cabin or visit his sheep fold when first he set- tied in the country. In this land of America, as many know, there are no such things as dangerous animals, | though there are creatures which may be made dangerous, The wolf, the bear and the cougar are far more anxious to get away from man than man is to get away from them. If given the oppor- tunity they will always slip away and run, and if they fight it is because they believe that they have been cut off from every avenue of escape. Where |an animal has been wounded it is a different matter. Then, often, consid- ns of prudence are forgotten and ing what it knows to be wise; but m so there is much more danger m a wounded deer than from a wounded panther, and vastly more from a wounded moose. ‘him, there is not now, nor more danger from the wild the country than from the Ss which blaze in the summe more people have b ave been ru ing buffalo herds, by unwounded grizzly bea {by all the other animals of the pr: | put togeth tha | fall led by from d inue t stories tk ever was, of 2 “been struck by sorites than have been kill- panthers or wolves.

Mrs. McDonald was with her for some time yesterday in the corridor of the woman’s depart- ment in the jail. The probation officer ied a hand bag in which was her purs containing a small sum of money and some papers of value. Some time later she had occasion to open the bag and found the purse gone.
