1t IS possible that all the readers of
THIS article have seen "bearr-not a
marry, stumpy-tailed bear, but verit-
able human "bear.n Go where Won
VIII among the habitations Of the hu.
man race, and you will find specimens
OF the genus "bear,' and in numbers
calculated to keep timid people in
not water" from one years end to the
other. The human "bearr is most
happy when he can buster and growl.
and vent his pucillanimous rage in
savage bowls at the rest Of mankind.
lie Is also very vain "bearn there
oelng no other person living endowed
with accomplishments that can be in
any way compared with his; or if he
thinks SO he isn't prepared to acknowl-
edge it-self-worship precludes all
possibility of him making any conces-
sions. Though the "bear" may have
some rsdeeming qualities, they are
generally Swallowed into obscurity by
the multitude Of failings that crop out
on the surface Of his character, max
ing him rldicu!ously unbearable even
to his fellow bears" When tho "bear'
x
Is In one Of his "tantrums, 1T is really
amusing to note his answering per-
slstency In trying to make himself and
those around him, i'll at ease and un-
comfortable. 1t is with regret that
we see SO much energy and tact dis
played on such an unworthy object:
but we try to excuse some of the
"bear's" idiosynorasies on the ground
that his brain power is not evenly bal
anced, and he is hardly accountable
for his actions. If the straight jack.
et' were only introduced by much
suffering community, this human ami
NAL might be brought into full real
lzatlon of the fact that there are other
people in the world who have both
sense and feeling. 1t is very bad
habit. and one to be avoided, only by
keeping check on our tempers. /
am certain that "bearishness," pevish-
ness, and any other failings we NAV
have, terminates under the loss of
self-control; anu which, in manner,
becomes Chronic" after a lapse of
time. Look at the bright side of life
as mach as possible, and be consider
ate of the feelings of others; then there
will be no good natured philosopher
finding out the peculiar and execrable
traits of the human "bear.

The wise man thinks before he speaks,
And words of wisdom from him fall !;
The fool speaks first, then haply thinks
Or maybe does not think at all.
So in the royal game of chess,
The rule of life is still the same;
Folly puts forth hasty hand,
But wisdom plays cautious game

While prohibition has proved fail
ure in Kansas and Iowa, their neigh
Dor, Nebraska, is we'll satisfied with
the working Of a high license law that
went into operation year and half
ago. The law is compromise meas
ure upon which the Prohibitionists and
law license people agreed. 1t fixes
the license for selling intoxicating IL
quofs in cities having over 10, 600 in
habtants at 81 900, and in cities hav-
ing less than 10000 inhabitants at
5000. The number Of ba.rooms has
been diminished about two-thirds. and
10 many Of the smaller towns there is
no liquor sold, as result of the heavy
license tax. The city of Omaha. with
90 QUO inhabitants, still supports 80
saloons. hawever, and the CITY of Lin
coin, with a population of $1,000,
maintains 10. The money from the
sale Of licenses goes to the school
fund. The prohibitionists are satisfied
to let the law stand IS it is, and are
now working to pass an act providing
Tor the disfranchisement for FIVE years
of persons convicted of drunkenness.
