LIVELY BEAR STORY.
How Lizzie Perkins Protected Her
Honey with an Umbrella.

Lizzie Perkins, IL years old, has sud
denly acquired local fame Lake many
other children who were born and
reared in the Adirondacks, Lizzie is not
afraid of bears unless the animals be-
come threatening. On more than one
occasion Lizzie has come across bears
when playing, but never until the other
day was she molested by one. 1t hap
pened that Lizzie was on her way from
the house of n distant relative to her
own home. Lizzie carried pot OF
honey under one arm and an umbrella
under the other.
As is well known. bears possess an al
most unconquerable liking for honey.
They love honey almost as much as they
do life, and will run risks TO get their
paws in the sweet stuff. Bruin came
ambling awkwardly after Lizzie. The
child had no thoughts of bears, and it
was not until she heard snort at her
elbow that she turned and saw the
black bear. There was nothing partic-
ularly ferocious looking about the ami
nal. As Lizzie turned around the bear
stumbled backward after the fashion of
II clumsy Newfoundland dog. Then it
sa; upon it's launches and eyed the
! child.
| 1t did not take Lizzie long to guess
! That the bear was after the honey. She
knew well that she could escape the
bears claws by putting down the honey
and running off. But Lizzie wasn't that
kind of girl. She meant to keep the
honey and outwit the bear
She carefully placed the pot of honey
on the ground. Then she opened the UNI
brella, and. with n shrill cry, darted al
tao bear, waving her unique weapon il
the most threatening manner. The
bear, taken by surprise, tumbled ovel
backward, and then, scrambling to hi!
feet, fed ingloriously up the trail
Lizzie picked up her pot of honey ant
started home. Soon she saw the beal
jogging after her. She again opened
the umbrella and resorted to the sam'
tactics as before. Again the bear raj
away. this time for good. Lizzie tolt
the story of her adventure when sh
reached home. She is now beinl
pr aised for her presence of mind.-N

One Avenges an Injury, Anotner
Recognizes a Benefactor.
Elephants have a way OF remember
ing injuries and kindnesses which sur
prises men not accustomed to the
beasts. L. L. Layard and his wife were
in Ceylon, in the Ambigamoa district.
They were journeying along gather
ing insects, shells and birds by easy
stages when they came to the station
of a road-making party, which was ia
charge of Woodford Birch. Mrs. lay
ard was interested in elephants, not
having seen any close at hand, 30 MIR.
Birch took her out to see a large, fine
female. Mrs. Layard petted the beast,
gave It n bunch of plantains, which
were eaten with relish, and after max
ing comments on the beasts gentleness,
returned to the bungalow. There Mr..
Birch incidentally remarked that it
was a violent Least, having killed two
keepers during the past month. When
Mr.. Laynrd heard that he reproached Mr..
Pirch, while Mrs. Layard grew pale.
Then Mr.. Birch said:
"Do you think / would have allowed
Mrs. Layard to go near her IL there had
been danger? That elephant Ia the
auietest and best tempered beast in the
stud. She was quite right 10 kill the
keepers. They had robbed her Of her
food. I had observed that she was
growing thin, and seeing only little
grain or feed in the box one day I rated
the keeper soundly, in the presence of
the beast. Next day he took her out to
work. She went along quietly till she
came to fiat rock. Then she wrapped
her trunk about the mahout, put him
against the rock and with her forehead
squeezed his life out. The next man
she killed for the same offense."
Dan Quinton and Mr.. Layard were in
Colombo when Quinton heard elephants
trumpeting and wanted to go to zee
them. One of the beasts was tied up
with more chains than the others, and
Quinton went toward this one, in spite
of the warnings of keepers that It was
a particularly vicious beast. Quinton
put his arm around the elephants trunk
and petted IL, the elephant seeming
most pleased. Quinton had recognized
Il as an elephant he had seen injured
by n huge thorn, or jungle nail. The
keeper, in trying to pull the thorn out
had broken II of. In q few days In
fiammntion had set in. Quinton went
to work with knife and pair Of pin
GERS, and the elephant, in spite of the
main, allowed the man to take the thorr
out. He had recognized the beast by
the scar, and the elephant remembered
him after several years.

A GENTLEMAN.

His coat was rough and rather worn,
His cheeks were thin and pale
A lad who had his way to make,
With little time for play:
knew him for a gentleman
BY certain signs to-day
lie met his mother on the street;
off came his little cap;
My door was shut; he waited there
Until | heard his rap;
He took the bundle from my hand
And when dropped my pen,
He sprang to pick 1t up for me
This gentleman of ten.
He does not push and crowd along;
His voice is gently pitched
He does not fling his books about
As II he were bewitched.
He stands aside to let you pass;
He always shuts the door;
He runs on errands willingly
To forge and mill and store.
He thinks of you before himself,
He serves you IL he can;
For, In whatever company,
The manners make the man.
At ten or forty tits the same;
The manner tells the tale.
And discern the gentleman
BY signs that never fail.

Under pressure from the agricultural

The law went into effect on the LIST OF
january. and the produce exchanges OF
Berlin, Stettin and other trade centers
promptly suspended and organized as
"free associations" In order to escape
the severe supervision prescribed by the
new law. Germany's great grain trade
v it'll Russia and America Is entirely
dependent upon future deliveries, and
the merchants engaged in IL insist that
IL would be impracticable to carry II on
under the restrictions of the new law.

he continued, had disastrous effect on
