A TRUE BEAR STORY.

Speaking of law and the enforcement
of discipline in Yellowstone Park.
heard the story Of bear there, which
consider exceedingly important not only
as comment on the discipline of the
Park, but as moral lesson to parents
in domestic obedience. The story is
literally true, and if it were not, |
should not repeat it, for it would have
no value. Mr.. Kipling says 1.-THE law of
the jungle is-Obey." This also seems
to be the law of Yellowstone Park. There
is lunch station at the Upper Basin,
near Old Faithful. kept by very intel
ligent and ingenious man. He got &C.
quainted last year with a she bear, who
used to come to his house every day and
walk into the kitchen for food for her.
self and her two cubs. The cubs never
came. The keeper got on very intimate
terms with the bear, who was always
civil and we'll behaved. and would take
food from his hand without taking the
handy. One day toward sunset the bear
came to the kitchen, and having re-
ceived her portion, she went out of the
back door to carry it to her cubs. To her
surprise End anger the cubs we're there
waiting for her. She laid down the
food. and rushed at her infants and gave
them rousing spanking. "She did not
cuff them; she spanked them" and then
she drove them back into the woods,
cutting them and knocking them at
every STEP When she reached the spot
where she had told them to wait, she
left them there and returned to the
house. And there she stayed in the
kitchen two whole hours, making the
dlsobedi ent children wait for their food,
simply to discipline them and teach
them obedience. The explanation is

Lost Appetite.
} NOT EAT THE MOST TEMPTING DISHES.
Many Days Without any Food at aCan Eat Four Square
Meals Day Now--The Cause of the Change.
From the Leader, Cleveland, Ohio.

For the restoration of an appetite
which has been impaired or lost through
sickness, no remedy can compare in effec-
tiveness with DIR, Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. This statement is sub
stantiated by the experience and declar-
ations of men and women with whom
these pills have become household med
icine. Among the many who can offer
testimony to tLis particular property of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills is George Mar
shall, Jr., who lives at No. 10 Norwich
Street, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr.. Marshall is
a news agent on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad, and his ter
ritory extends from Cleveland To Toledo
Like thousands of others who owe their
health and vigor to DR. Williams Pink
Pills, Mr. Marshall never hesitates to
sing their praises. In his case it was
necessary to use only few boxes of the
pills to restore him to the full possession
of bodily health. His digestive organs
had become almost useless through a long
and serious illness, but in a surprisingly
brief period, through the agency of this
wonderful medicine, they were capable of
again performing their functions in a
regular and perfectly satisfactory man
ner. In narrating his experience with
them Mr. Marshall said:
Last spring | was taken sick with in
flammatory rheumatism, and my entire
system was affected To relieve the suf-
fering it was necessary TO paint me with
iodine. After three months treatment |

SPRING Is HERE.

Are you ready for the warmer weather,
with it's prostratiDg, weakening, debilita-
ting effects2

INFLATED in blood. Close confinement,
diminished perspiration, The use of hearty
foods, fats and sweets, made the blood
impure. Spring humors--eruptions, boils,
pimples will be the result unless the blood
is speedily and thoroughly purified with
Hoods Sarsaparilla. A course of this
medicine will prevent and cure the kidney
and liver troubles which are so prevalent
in the spring, with accompanying head
aches, bilious attacks, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, lame back, tired feeling
and other disagreeable and painful symp
toms.
If scrofula poisons the system, causing
swollen glands, running sores, discharges
from the ears, eruptions on the skin, these
troubles will be sure to manifest them
selves with increased malignity in the
spring. Hoods Sarsaparilla eradicates
the last vistage of scrofula and is abso-
lutely necessary at this season to prevent
these disagreeable eruptions. Dyspepsia,
indigestion, nausea, pain after eating, re-
sulting from impure blood and low vital
ity in the spring are promptly relieved
by Hoods Sarsaparila. A false sense of
security and disregard of the signs and
warnings of failing health in the manifes-
tations of impure blood, often lead to sad
results.
Ninety per cent of all the people need
to take Hoods Sarsaparilla now. Winter
left them with impure, impoverished
blood, weak nerves, debilitated and run
down systems. Be wise this spring and
make your blood pure, rich and nourishing
with Hoods Sarsaparilla. Then you will
be strong vigorous, energetic and hopeful
and you will avoid that tired feeling as
well as more serious illness later in the
season.

When the family came in to break
fast there was a roll at each plate
with flag standing up in it.
1t was too chilly for Carl to go out
of doors, SO Stanley went up to their
room and took the gymnastic exer-
cises with him. Carl was radiant, for
it was such stupid work taking his
exercises alone.
$50 find the boys now," said Carl.
Il am not going to keep you any
longer"
'I'll tell you a story first, and you
can think of it till | come back. l
am going to take a letter to the office
for mother" replied Stanley.
SANKEY'S songs and Stanley's stor-
les were always delightful to Carl.
"I'll tell you story about George
Washington, because it's his birth
day." said Stanley. "You remember
the story l told you about his having
chance to go into the navy, and
why he gave it up. Well, when he
was older he got ready again. Then
his brother was sick, and he gave up
his plans to travel with him."
When the story was finished Stan
ley went in search of his mother.
The letter is ready, all but your
message" she said.
Tell uncle | send him a whole
hatful of thanks for his jolly invita-
ton, but | have decided to stay at
home. Carl would be so lonely" said
Stanley.
His eyes were very bright, and he
stood tossing his cap from one hand
to the other as if refusing "jolly in
vition" was one of the easiest things
in the world.
''My soldier is doing such good
work | think l shall make him an
officer today" said SANKEY'S mother,
as she sealed the letter.
Perhaps you think Stanley had a
miserable holiday. Not bit of it.
1t was one of the happiest days he
ever spent. And his mother thinks
he is in fair way to become gen.
eral some day.
And the first of May he will be the
happiest boy in town, for his uncle is
going to send out one of his boys
bicycles for Stanley and Carl.-Zion's

Lincoln and the Sentinel.

In an article in the March Century
entitled "Our Fellow Citizen of the
White House," Mr.. q. G. Buel tells the
following story of President Lincoln:
"There have been no soldiers as guar
dams under the shadow of the great
Ionic columns since the war; and even
then, on one fierce winter hight, the boy
in blue who was on guard was not al
lowed to maintain professional decorum.
Mr.. Lincoln emerged from the front
door, his lank figure bent over as he
drew tightly about his shoulders the
shawl which he employed for such pro1
lection; for he was on his way to the
War Department. at the west corner of
the grounds, where in times of battle he
was won't to get the midnight dispatches
from the field. AS the blast struck him
he thought of the numbness of the pac-

having tanned him 80 that he will eat
while you are watching him. which he
will sometimes do in one or two days, get
him accustomed to having your hand
around the cage. Then lasso or moose
him around his body with small cord,
and take him out of the cage without
lifting him by the cord. Take care. for
he will bite and sink his little teeth al
most through the bone of your finger if
he has the chance.
Now take glove that has been stuffed
full of cotton, and stroke him gently with
it. If he attempts to bite, which he is
almost certain to do. give him little
tweak. Repeat this as often as he tries
to bite. and he will soon learn that if he
sits still he is all right. Now feed him
from the thick glove. In surprisingly
short time he will give up ideas of biting
and you can stroke him and pick him
up with your hands. and carry him
about in your pocket. He will grow
wonderfully attached to you, and when
once tanned thoroughly he will never run
away; although he may pay short visits
to his mates, he will return to you. But
