A Tale of Two Reara.

was Il handsome fellow. and he liked to

eat dinner regularly. The other bear
was a quiet fellow and most Of his
friends said that he was very stupid.
Every day when his brother lolled COM

would go out into the forest and find Il
huge oak. Then he would stand up on
his hind legs and scratch the rough
bark with his claws until they were as
sharp as needles. 1t was hard work
and the other bear laughed at him for
doing it..
What's the use Of sharpening your
claws!" he asked. Games plenty"
And then he would go back to sleep
again.
That winter was long and cold, and
when the two bears came out of the

HIS hH OtlCS ~"
Library of Rare Books.
One should not always Judge a mars
by his house, but in the case of Eugene
Field it seemed as if his house were q
part of him. 1t is an old-fashioned two.
story farmhouse with a wide porch, to
which has been added a large circular
wing with an outside chimney such as
the SOutherners love. AS you enter the
hall, you notice an elabOrately ornaa
mented old English tall clock of the
kind usually known in this country az
"Grandfather's Clock" 1t is one OF
three such clocks in the house: a second
stands on a s~tairlanding. after the man.
ner of Longfellow's "Old Clock on the
STAIR" and a third was in Eugene
Fields sleeping-rOom. The last n has
a gong in it like a country dinner-bell.
and clangs the hour with a loud METALLIC
ring.
In the same room he had a 'freaE
clock" made entirely Of wood, that ticks
like a hammer striking hard wood. In
the library there Is a quaint little one
made with a see-saw-a wee boy and
girl sitting Upon a log to regulate tha
pendulum. This is a very well behaved
little piece of mechanism. rs 1t makes
no noise and is really pretty. Contrast.

are painted impossible red roses Inc

away when the Others were cranky and
would not keep h time regularly.
AS you enter the house, the library is
CD the left hand. All around the walls
Of the room are bookcases. Suppose we
look at the case beyond the window,
which might be called the Fairy Cor
ner. Here are gathered books of fairy
lore from all parts of the world, for
there was hardly an old bookstore i'm

did not know well. In this wonderful
fairy corner are Cossack fairy tales.

Effect Of an Audience,

One of the peculiarities Of the ora
torical temperament Is that 1t is sub.
ject to what u grandmothers called
''vapOrs," or depression Of spirit. In
such n mood a molehill seems n noun
tain, and a grasshopper is a burden.
Mental effort is impossible, and an ems
gagement to speak in public as repug.
nant as is the sound of the dinner-gong.
to a seasick passenger. The only cure
for such an attack of spleen is to GET,
by hook or crook, the orator before he
audience, where the excitement will
put him mentally and physically on
his feet.
In 1859 Thomas Corwin, Ohio's most
eloquent orator, had consented to de-
liver the Grafton at the celebration Of
the Fourth of July on the T%ippecanoe
backgrounds. The night before the
celebration, COrwin called his son-in-
law, Mr.. Sage, to his room and told
him that he had been unable t O sleep
and was much discouraged about his
address the next day. He had tried to
think over his speech, but his memory
had failed him, and he was afraid he
would make a failure. His son-in-law
advised him to dismiss the speech
from his mind and go to sleep.
The next morning Mr.. Corwin felt so
indisposed that he announced his ina
bility 10 speak. The marshal of the
day finally persuaded him to ride out
TO the grounds and take a seat on the
platform. whence he might explain to
the people why he was unable to de-
liver the grafton, and thus lessen their
disappointment.
AT the proper time, Mr.. Corwin rose
to make his apology; but as hi looked
over the audience of forty thousand
people. that 'sea of upturned faces
stirred both body and brain. He made
n few commonplace remarks. and then
struck upon the first sentence of the
manuscript he had prepared.
1T is all right, he will speak," whis-
pered Mr.. Sage to the president of the
day.
1t was all right; the orator went Oh,
and spoke for two hours. The manu-
script he had prepared was the intro
euction of the speech-a page and q
half OF legal cap-which Mr.. Sage had,
read the day before. The audience
made the sick man we'll. and an orator
again.

Openwork stockings and low shoes
are very appropriate for summer re-
sorts and sweltering days, but at the
first touch of fall-after the first drop
of 20 degrees in the thermometer-they
ought to be put snugly and securely
away with fans, parasols and all the
paraphernalia Of summer time. Wo-
mems shoes are, as a rule. so lightly
made that even their boots are not
much protection to their feet; but the
low shoe is purely ornamental, and If it
Is worn out of season a dozen small
wOes will affect it's wearer to her con-

cold feet e a low tom to the whole
