There had been three or four inches

Ned Libby was four yeaVs old. Ons
bright day he was playing on the shady
lawn with his boat
st won't sail here" said Ned.
Guess l will take her down to Coney
Island.
Ned often went to Coney Island with
papa and mamma. They went down in
the electric cars, and 1t only took TWEEN
~ minutes to go that way. Of course,
Ned could not walk SO far. But he did
not think whether he could or not. He
cid not think to put on his hat, and he
did not ask bis mamma If he might GO.
Do you suppose he forgot to do that,
too?
Well, he took his boat, and tT7ldged
off down the road which leads to
Coney Island. He passed all the
houses in the town on that road, and,
st last, came to an open field where
there were 3 lot of blacIloerries grow
ing. Ned was hungry. He went into
the field and lay down his boat to
gather berries.
Just then he saw something move
out from behind some high bushes, and
then q great. rough, shaggy creature
stood up on all tours. Ned stood quite
stan and stared. What could it beP
knew that he had seen just such 8
looking animal only the week before,
over in New York az Central park.
'Why, it's regerler bear" said Ned;
and vet he did not stir. The bear be-
gan to howl and move toward Ned.
Then all the terrible stories about
bears. which brother George had told
him. flashed through his mind. All at
once Ned found his voice. He screamed.
He ran. My, how he ran! How be
screamed he did not look to soc where
he was running. He did not think once
OF has nice boat.
At that moment whiz-z-zl sounded
the electric cars on the Coney Island
road. The conductor on the cars saw
poor Ned running and screaming, and
the bear walking along behind. Es
stopped the car, caught Ned by the arm
and lifted him up on the Ger. Ned
smiled very glad smile as the conduc
tor next lifted him up on She seat. II
made him so happy to know he was safe
away from that ugly bear!
''Well, youngster, where do you live

ductor.

you will carry me home I'll never. never

''Oh, you ran away. did vou?" laughed

They used to tell no, when I was a
small boy, that bears were always on
the lookout for children who were bad.
Now theS say that doctrine IS old-fash-

bear must belong TO the old school, ="

Whatever that meant, Ned didn't
know. He only knew that if be once
more got home safely, beside his dear
mamma, rs would never ran away.

MISS JEAN INGELOW.
The IadisPutsd Mistress OF English Poetry
and Song.

The XadisPuted Mistress OF English Poetry
and Song.
Miss Frances Willard has proposed
and DR.. Chauncey II. Depew has Sec
onded the motion that Queen Victoria
should appoint Miss Jean Ingelow her
poet laureate.
What right we Americans have to dio-
tate TO the queen as to whom she shall
grant the bay leaves is not exactly clear.
If EnSlishmen ventured to suggest sp-
pointments to the president we would
be pretty apt to tell them to mind their
own business. Presumably the mon
archs of Europe are so effete that they
need the virile advice of the Gail Ham,
ntons and Frances Wizards of the new
world, says the Illustrated American.
Sixty-twO years ago Jean Ingeiow
was born in the quaint old town OF Bos
ton, lincolnshire, England. Her father
owned private bank there. Her moth
er came from Aberdeen, and impaired
her own canny ways of thought and
feeling and expression to her daughter. "
In her early poems Miss Ingelow ex-
hibited many proofs OF the influence her
surroundings of sea. fine old churches
and monsstic ruins had had upon her.
When she first came before the public,
IN 1860, by publishing a volume of
Poems by Jean Ingelow," she speed
fly found an echo in the heart of the
English people and was recognized by
the critics as a genuine poet.
Miss Ingelow lives in old Kensington.
