Bees and a Bear,

In the May number of st. Nicholas
is the following account of the pranks
of pet bear belonging to the three
soldiers, who are castaways on noun
tain-top in the South:
1t was Philip who caught the first
view af him well up on the trunk of
the tallest chestnut on the plateau,
which, growing in a sheltered place
under the northwest hill, had not been
dwarfed and twisted by the winds like
its fellows higher up. AT the moment
he was discovered, he was licking his
paw in the most peaceful and contented
way, while the air about his head was
thick with small cloud of angry bees.
darling furiously among the limbs and
thursting their hot stings into his
shaggy coat, seeming to disturb him no
more than one small gnat can disturb
an OK. The soldiers had been deprived
of sweets since the last of the sugar
had been used, in the early winter, and
asupply OF honey would just fit the
cravings OF their educated taste.
Share and share alike, bear and man,
was the unwritten law of Sherman Ter
ritory, and 80 while Philip shouted for
the ak, he began to throw clubs at
Tumbler, which were 80 much larger
and more persuasive than the stings of
the bees that the bear began promptly
to back his way down the trunk of the
tree.
Coleman and Bromley appeared in a
jiffy, casting off their jackets and roll

HOLDS ITS GROUND.
This is the Testimony from Every.
where, as well as
Montpelier.

Can this be SOP Is it true? Are the facts
garbled? Is the truth distorted? These
are questions which every man and woman
in Montpelier suffering the torture of back
ache asks as they read the published ac
claim to cure It,. Whatever the conclusion
arrived at touching the truth of these cures
he can't hedge or finch from or disprove
the following, for it took place in Mont
pelier and the experiences are those OF a
representative citizen.
Mr.. Fred Dodge, living on the Worcester
Branch, says: "When was a young man I
sprained my back lifting and it has been
weak ever since. My kidneys have troubled
me great deal and as time went on they
seemed to be getting worse. My kidneys
would ache so bad at times that would be
unable to do any work. / had to be very
careful in lifting as there would be sharp
pains and twinges in my loins tried plas-
ters and liniments but they did me no per-
manent good. This winter 1 had bad
spell and had to get someone to do my
work. 1 saw Doan's Kidney Pills adver-
tised and made up my mind to try them so
got box at Lester III. Green's drug store.
After using one box felt 80 much better
that got two more and they completely re-
lieved me. 1t was the first time in years
that felt no pain across my kidneys.
l can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills in
good faith and will always speak good
word for them"

dealers. Price fifty cents; mailed by Fos-
ter-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y, sole agents

ing up their sleeves as they came.
When the chips began to fly, Tumbler
sat down TO watch, evidently feeling
that some superior intelligence was at
work for his benefit, while the stupid
bees kept swarming about the hole
above, except few stray ones who had
not yet got tired of burrowing into the
shaggy coat of the bear, and these now
turned their attention to the men and
were promptly knocked down by wisps
of grass in the hands of Colemen and
Philip, while Bromley piled the ak.
II only they had had a supply of sui
pbur, by waiting until the bees were
settled at night, they could have burned
some in the opening made by the ak,
and with the noxious fumes destroyed
the last bee in the tree. Then, too, if
they had been in less of a hurry they
might have waited until frosty morn
ing in November had benumbed the
bees, but in that case Tumbler would
have eaten all the honey he could
reach with his paws.
AS it was, the swarm extended so
low that as soon as the ak opened the
first view into the hollow trunk, the
bees began to appear, and the opening
had to be stuffed with grass, and a
bucket OF water which Philip brought
did not come amiss before the chopping
was done. All this time Tumbler
licked his jaws. and kept his beady
eyes fixed on the top of the tree, like a
good coon dog, and never stirred his
stumps until, with the last blow of the
ak, the old tree creaked, and swayed at
the top, and fell with great crash
down the hill
The three soldiers ran off to safe
distance as socn as the tree began to
fall, while Tumbler, after regarding
their fight with look of disgust, walk |
ed deliberately into the thick of the
battle, and began to crunch the drip
ping comb as coolly as pig eats corn.
The brittle trunk of the old tree had
split open as it fell, and for twenty feet
OF its length the mass of yellow honey
lay exposed to the gaze of the men,
while the Infatuated bees darkened the
air above it, and made a misty halo
about the head of the happy bear.

A White Red Squirrel.

DIR. Emily G.. Hunt, in May st. Mich.
olas, describes the following Interesting
pet:
Some girl cousins of mine living in
New Jersey have an odd pet. 1t is a
white red squirrel.
You have all seen red squirrels
"chickarees they call them, from the
sounds of their chattering and scolding,
as they drop nutshells on your head. or
run down tree trunk by fits and starts,
giving a little "chick with each for
ward rush, while they watch you sharply.
Our little pet is like one of these in
every way, except that he is 30 snowy
white that the cleanest table cloth looks
dingy compared to him.
He was born in q cranberry bog.
Some men cutting brush there saw two
strange little animals, one white, the
other cream .colored. They caught this
white one by throwing coat over him,
but the creamy squirrel ran away.
When the captive was brought home
all admired him greatly, for he was, as
you may imagine, very beautiful little
creature, with his long bushy tail and
bright woodland tricks.
But there is really one strange thing
about him; his eyes are not red or pink,
as are those of most white animals, but
they are as black as any squirrels could
be. So my girl cousins call him
4" Beads"
When an animal belonging to a spe-
cies commonly dark in color is born
white instead, it is called an "albino."
You have all seen albipo rabbits and
rats and mice. Their eyes are pink.
So that Beads is really most uncom-
mon fellow, snowy squirrel with jet
black eyes.
Albino or not, he is at any rate a
most winning little pet, and there is no
end to his pretty ways. AS cat and a
kitten live with the same family, he has
to be kept in quirrel-cage; but he is
let out long time each day. Then
Beads is quite happy. He climbs up
the back of the chair and nibbles the
hair of the person seated in it, gnaws
the flowers in the window-sill, PUSHES
up the stems of the callas, and scratches
in the earth until it flies on all sides.
He will rub his head and face and all
his body in the earth, until his clean
white dress is sight to behold. After
that he hops to the floor, and rubs his
face carefully upon the carpet.
He loves to retire to corner or I'M
der piece of furniture for his toilet,
going in gray and coming out white.
If you peep and watch him, it is great
fun, for he scrubs and combs himself
with his paws in the neatest way,
washes his face just as a cat does, and
then takes his big tail in his paws and
uses it for towel! One often hears
people wonder why squirrels have such
big tails. All know that they are USE
full as balancing-poles and blankets, and
are charming as ornaments, but not
many are in Beads's secret of their use
fulness as towels.

Has anybody seen my Fritz" W
You may not think him pretty,
But he's the dog that love best
In country or in city.
His hairs sort of grizzly gray,
And not so very curly;
But he can run like everything,
And bark both late and early.
Sometimes he minds me very well
And sometimes when call,
He only sits and wags his tail
And does not stir at all.
But the reason why he acts that way
Is very plain to see;
Fritz doesn't know that he's my dog
He thinks that he owns me.
SO, though he has heap of sense,
It would be Just like him, now,
To think that I'm the one that's lost,
And with a great bow-wow
To go off hunting for his boy
Through alley, lane and street,
While am asking for my dog
OF every one meet
