BEAR PRESSED BUTTON.
He Held the Camera Wrong Side Up,
However,, and the Result Was
Unsatisfactory.

John II. Lewis, of Boston, a photog-
rapher, who spends his in the
region around Moosehead lake, has de-
veloped what is probably the only pic
ture ever taken by a black bear, for
Bruin really did take the picture.
He held the camera, focused the
thing and pressed the button. He held
the camera wrong side up, however,
and his paws must have shaken a little
from the locks of the print.
Last August a party of six people
from PlaInfield, N. j., passed a fort
night in camp on the upper West
branch, occupying the log cabins at
Sears High Landing, so called.
In SO large a party there was consid-
cradle refuse food, and this was dumped
about a half-mile from the camp in the
woods. The garbage pile failed to
grow, and the campers were at a loss
to account for its disappearance. Fin
ally one of the men made up his mind
to go to the scene and watch for the
animal that came around regularly
every day to feed on the crusts of the
table. He went to the point one morn
ing and sat in the bushes and waited.
Soon he heard a noise, and in a minute
or SO a big black bear appeared. Then
came another, and firfally a third.
They ate all OF the garbage, and then
went away. The Plainfeld man con-
ceived a desire to photograph the ami
mails. He put up a job with the cook,
and the next morning a good half

What Little Jack Wished.

Jack entered the barn with his
uncle, and, being a city boy, his eyes
opened wide at the sight of a great
pile of apples heaped upon the floor.
AS he wistfully gazed at the fruit, his
uncle, reading the desire in his glance,
said: Help yourself, Jack; take all
you wish" Jack sprang toward the
enticing pippins, and after gathering
up all that his pockets, hat and blouse
could hold, Strengthened himself up
and then stood gazing at the appar-
emily undiminished pile. Observing
his looks, his uncle asked: whats
the matter now, Jack?" Nothing

WHY AMERICANS WIN.

One Of the many reasons why American
manufacturer are so successful competing
in foreign markets is to be found in the
following episode, which occurred recently:
An American manufacturer of steam spe'
~cialties was visiting an English firm which
made similar goods. A certain article which
both firms made was under discussion.
What is your price on this thing" asked
the American.
well, in your money, about 49," replied
the Englishman. what does it cost your

From a military standpoint. the

food for an ant colony are almost per-

ton, and are almost uniformly sue.
cessful. A resident of this city who
is at present in business in South At
RIGA has sent home a description of a
foray of an army of ants.
The army, which he estimates to
have numbered about $4,000 ants.
started from their home, in the mud
walls of a hut, and marched in the di-
rection of a small mound of fresh
earth but a few yards distant. The
head Of the column halted on reaching
the foot of the mound and waited
for the rest of the force to arrive at
the place of operations. which evident
ly was to be the mound of fresh earth.
When the remainder had arrived and
halted, so that the entire army was
assembled, a number of ants detached
themselves from the main body and
began to ascend to the top of the
mound, while the others began moving
so as to encircle the base of the
mound.
Very soon a number from the de-
tachment which had assembled the
mound, evidently the attacking party,
entered the loose earth and speedily
returned, each bearing a cricket or
a young grasshopper, dead, which he
deposited upon the ground, and then
returned for a fresh load. Those who
had remained on the outside of the
mound took up the crickets and grass
hoppers as they were brought out
and bore them down to the base OF
the hill. returning for a fresh load.
Soon the contents of the mound
seemed to be exhausted, and then the
whole force returned home, each car
rying his burden of food for the com.
munity.

A PRODIGY.

A certain boy ] know of
who's a most peculiar child;
He's never rude and noisy
He's never rough and wild.
He's always staidly quiet;
He never shouts nor squeals;
He never tears nor tumbles:
The clatter of his heels
Never drives his grandma crazy,
Nor spoils the baby's nap;
He never leaves his muller,
Nor his mittens, nor his cap
In the pantry or the parlor;
He never slams a door;
He doesn't chase the kitten:
The gayest c~andy-store,
Biggest toy-shop, eve tempts him,
And there's never been a time
That he's teased to spend a penny,
Or whimpered for a dime.
He never carves the table
With his mischievous jack-knife:
He never tears his trousers;
Well! he eve in his life
Did a thing that he ought not to.
