One excellent feature about the club is that
the children of members can practice in the
gymnasium every Saturday forenoon, which is
not only a source of great pleasure to the
youngsters, but excellent for their physical de-
velopment, and gives them an interest in the
club and sense of ownership which will make
them loyal members when the time comes.

The BEAR wRssTlsss.

tho tame or performing bears which are
led all about tho country by the men
who have tanned and taught them. My
servants had u standing order 10 bring
every performing bear that they heard
OF TO my house. The small black bears
were most common, but from time to
time men from Cashmere came with the
largo Isabelline bears from that part of
India, and thoy were all welcome. The
greatest objection Is that each poor bear
has had every tooth In his head pulled
out, and wears muzzlc, OF which II is
ono object to prevent the spectator from
noticing the absence Of the bears teeth.
After q certain amount OF preliminary
"talkoe-tallfee, the performance or
combat begins. The man has covered
his naked back with thick piece OF
cowhide, but the rest of HIS garb Is lit

as the ma, waddles forward with his
head comically on one side, and. after
few fcints and passes, the man Is locked
in the bears embrace. The cowhide on
tho mans back protects him from the
bears long claws. but to those who see
the contest for the first time tho posi-
ton seems very dangerous
Tho man struggles and twists about
and tries in vain to trip up the bear,
and all the time he is talking loudly,
abusing the bear and all its ancestors
with most untrans.atablo bad language,
while he gradually seems to become
more and more exhausted. just as the
spectator begins to get really anxious
for the mans safety, there is a sudden
twist probably preconcerted signal
to the bcarand the pair roll over on
the ground, the man promptly rising
victorious, and planting his foot on the
bears neck. Throughout the combat

How 1t Saved tho London Post ONCE Con-

The post-oliice was once saved consid.
erable expense by the assistance of a
rat. AS most people know, the main
telegraph wires in London run through
the subways in which the gas pipes
and sewers are placed. The principal
arteries are so large that 1t Is easy
enough for men TO work in them. but
the pipes through which the side wires
branch of are much smaller. and great
care has TO be taken to preserve the
connection between tho main and the
lateral wires. Some years ago men
we're repairing one Of these latter, and
carelessly omitted to attach It to lead.
ing line by which it could be drawn to
its place when mcnded The blunder
seemed likely to havo serious conse-
quences, for it was thought that the
whole OF the lateral pipe would have TO
be dug up in order to get at the broken
wire. But one Of the men came TO the
rescue with a happy thought suggest
ing that rat should be procured, and
with a fine piece of wire attached to 1t
sent through the pipe. This was done.
but to the dismay OF the workmen the
new hand came to a stop after it had
gone a few yards. The inventor Of this
idea was not yet, however, at the end Of
his resources, and by his advice ferret
was procured and started on the dila.
tory rats track. There was a moment
OF suspense before il was settled wheth
er the rat would show fight or run away,
but this was soon ended by the paying
out OF the wire, and in a short time tho
latest addition TO the staf Of the post
Office appeared at tho other end Of the
pipe. It was caught the wire detached.
and then it was set free in recognition
of the service IL had rendered. BY
means Of the wire the telegraph line
was secured and long and laborious

The two belonged to the very poor
class of Spain, and they made scanty
living in tending sheep, and in cutting
wood from the great forest. Every day
the two would go forth to their labors,
happy in each others company, and
perfectly content with their lot Al
fonso, though young in years, was
strong. graceful in bearing, and full of
life and fun.
But one day his grandfather was taken
sick, and the boy had TO go to the forest
alone. He worked away with heavy
heart until sundown, and then hurried
home to nurse his sick relative. All Of
that week and the next he worked alone
in the forest, trying to make money
enough TO buy the few delicacies that his
sick grandfather needed. Then as the
disease seemed TO grow worse the little
boy decided upon getting doctor; but
the doctors advice cost money, and AL
fonso had none.

An idea then seemed to occur to him.
for he stopped in his walk and looked
toward the small cattle pen back Of the
hut The head OF a strong, fierce-look-
ing bull protruded from between two
bars and seemed to eye the boy with
two large orbs. Alfonso stared at the
animal for moment and then he
slowly walked up TO the pen.
Poor Bella, good Bella, are you
hungry?n
He pushed handful of hay through
the bars, which the big animal ate. The
boy leaned over the fence and watched
the animal. When the bull had fin
ished the hay he turned around TO the
boy, and affectionately licked his
hands This aroused Alfonso from
his thoughts, and brought tears TO his
eyes.
Good Bella, must we part?" he said,
winding his arms around the bulls
thick neck. 1--WE love each other, don't

must have the money"
He gave the animal another hug. and
then jumped down and ran away lest
his courage should fail him. Instead OF
returning to the house. he took a wind
ing path through the woods, and soon
disappeared from sight
The thought had occurred to Alfonso
that the village doctor might take his
pet bull in payment for services to his
grandfather. So he started of to per
form his mission.
