A Bears Treachery,

Although bears have a reputation
OF being rathergood naturedt than other
wise, it is dangerous to presume on that
belief. Not long ago, a gentleman,
who had been a frequent visitor to the
Cincinnati Zoo. was feeding a pet bear
with peanuts. He was tossing them
into the cage, and the bear was eating
them with grunts Of satisfaction, when
the man, holding the remainder Of the
nuts in his hand, put his arm through
TIE b>rs Of the cage. In an instant the
beax's savage nature was aroused, and.
instead Of taking the nuts it inserted
its teeth in the mans wrist. The spec
tators, instead Of poking the bear with
anes, and thus disengaging the ami
msl's attention, ran away, calling for
help. The man was in extreme peril. as
the bsar was drawing his arm further
into the cage, thus bringing his face
nearer while two other bears in the
eage yer advancing to tear him. He
kept his nerve wonderfully, but his
strength was rapidly falling, when two
keepers came with iron bars and beat

How General Spinner Opened Public Of
foes TO the Employment Of the Fair Sex.
Writing Of Women In the Government
Departments in The Woman's Home
Companion, Mary Nimmo Balentino says;
sit Is a curious fact that this glorious
rountry grew and prOspered from the days
Of i776 TO the period of the civil war and
founded and perfected the greatest govern
mont upon earth before women were in
vited to bear hand in the public duties,
even in the most casual manner During
oil these years there was a total exclusion
of women from the work Of the executive
departments. Now they are seen wher-
ever government work is being conducted,
in places Of high trust. superior skill and
high emolument.
at was in 1862 that General Francis e.
Spinner, treasurer of the United States
succeeded in opening the government de-
partments to the employment of women
The civil war was at its height and every
ablebodied man was needed in the front
of battle for the protection of the country
If ever l strike a successful blow for
women, now is my time said General
Spinner The arst legal tender notes
had been issued; they were printed in
sheets of four notes each, and men were
employed to cut them apart with shears
General Spinner maintained chat women
could handle the shears more deftly than
men, and Secretary Chase finally consent
ed to let him experiment with women en-
ployees. The first one engaged was Jennie
Douglas, and her first days work settled
the matter I'm her favor and that of wom-
ankind Other women were employed
The men left, and the women took their
places Soon, however, a machine to cut
the money was invented and the women
were discharged General Spinner now
convinced the officials that the nimble
fingers of women were peculiarly adapted
TO the counting of notes He had employ
ed his daughters in his own bank and
knew they could work more rapidly than
men He was permitted to engage seven
women, who were regularly appointed as
counters of United States money The
seven pioneers did their work so well that
it was not long before congress was max
ing appropriations for the employment Of
women in all of the executive depart
ments 1t is true the women received but
half the salary paid to men for the same
work at the beginning, but the salaries
were gradually increased until now a
woman receives the same salary as a man
in the public service when she does the
same work 1t was grand achievement
| for women All honor to the hero who
/ fought it to cumpletion Small wonder
/ that women are at work raising a fund tC
erect a statue to his memory
