submitted 10 the people OF the State amendments
10 the Constitution providing for separate city
elections and the reason that they savo for that

on as little as possible under the influence OF state

NOT a HARLEM STORY.

A Bear Raised by Goat, and He
Grew Up 10 Be a Fine Herder.
The bear that figures in the story waG
known as Jack, and he belonged TO Lewis
Ford, who formerly owned a goat ranch
high up on the Cerro Colorado Mountain,
overlooking the lovely valley Of the san
joaquin.
Ford found the bear hen it was a cub,
soft, round, shining and black Being
wifeless, childleSs, and alone he adopted
the tiny cub, and carried it home once
there, soon found that a foster mother
must be provided for the infant, and so a
frightened, trembling, bleating shegoa5
was brought to the house TO take ths
place OF the parent he 50 missed. II was
only after much combined force and per-
suasion the goat could be induced TO adopt
as her own the unkidlike orphan placed in
her care But the time came when foster
mother and foster child were as happy and
content in their relations to each other az
if the sight of a nimble footed. blue
haired nanny sucking a clumsy black
bear cub was OF the most ordinary cOndi-
ton of affairs.
The bear, which was ned Jack. waxed
fat on goats milk; and a more docile,
tractat!e beast never grew up under the
guardianship OF humaneand Iovingma ster-
In the earlier days of his adoption the baby
was a baby in truth. He woIld not be left
alone And it would have been a harder
heart than Ford's that could have resisted
the pitiful whimper of the little fellow
whenever lie thought that he was 70 be
left alone within the house. Had there
been any to see it in those dag S they would
| have witnessed strange sight The
| great bToad-shouldred man following his
I flock as they grazed on the bunchgraSs-
sometimes five or six miles from home
/ and as he walked the steep II ountain side,
/ where il was so perpendicular that 10
/ seemed that only the goats themselves
I could gain a foothold on the rocks, he car
! ried the cub in his arms.
When Jack grew Older he was trained
| 10 herd the goats. Previously nUmber
of dogs had helped Ford, but the bear and
| the dogs could not agree, and So the dogs
had TO go. Jack took their place Well,
| and they were never missed For several
| years the bear continued TO help Ford, until
the latter sold his rauch and prepared to
so to his old home in Europe. Then
a number of his neighbOrs tried 20 buy the
bear Ford refused to sell him, and said
that if he could not take Jack with him
he would not go. The difficulty about
shipping the bear was overcome, and ROW
he and his master are living COntentedly
in the old country, enjoying the fruits Of
/ their long, lonesome stay in the CalifornLs
mountains.-San Francisco Can.

HOLLAND STILL GROWING.
News From the bikes of This Won
derfuI Country

Holland has determined upon gigantic
engineering feat-the retaining OF 1S1
square miles of land now lying under the
Zuyder Zee. Eight hundred years ago all
of Holland contained but coo square miles
of land, or less than one third OF the area
of tie State of Delaware. Gradually, by
means of great dikes, land has been re-
claimed until the present area is nearly
13, 900 square miles This is more than
twenty times the original area. The new
work involves the construction of dam
twenty-seven miles in length. The line will
run from a point near Heider, which is
north of Amsterdam, to the island Of Werin-
gen. Then from the east end Of the island,
which is ten miles long, connecting at a
point just south of Workum. The dixie will
measure thirty-five feet at the base, taper
ing to eight feet at the top.
The first task is the driving of two rows
of piles on either side of the proposed dixie,
forming passage fifty feet wide.
Against these there will be packed bags of
sand until two parallel embankments are
raised above the sea level. The water will
then be pumped out OF this area anda dry
canal formed from shore to shore. Here
on the bed of the sea the dixie will be built
OF sClid masonry. Behind the wall Will
be bank OF earth, bound with willow twigs
in series of ba sket work. For the drain
age of this great basin colossal windmills
are to be constructed 200 feet in height
with arms seventy-five feet long. These
will raise the water into the network oi
canals which will cover the reclaimed area
Nor is this the end of the task. The bot
tom of the sea is sand of little fertility
Top soil and fertilizers will be brought
from every Dutch colony, and In two OF
three generations the depression Will bt
brought to the level of the canals. Where
once the sea flowed unrestricted, there vii
be green gardens and farms, dotted will
cottages and towns, and canals covered
with heavily laden barges.
Holland will have spent $50 100000 il
completing this enterprise, but she viii
| have added 100000 900 to her nationa
wealth, and will have demonstrated afresl
! the moral greatness of a people who, IL
| the face of such tremendous natural disad
| vantages. have the patience to compe
