She has found the time-which alllovers

The year 1900 will begin newfepoch
in the history OF america. The devel-
epments of the Spanish-American war,
and the new policies, foreign and do
nestle, thereby made necessary will be
discussed in the next Congress, and
will have a momentous bearing on the
destiny of the Nation.
State affairs will be of unusual inter-
est, from the fact that a Governor and
state officers are to be elected. The
Legislature that will be chosen at the
same time will elect United States
enator. The Presidential Nominating
Conventions and the ensuing election in
November will be of added Importance.
The Iptellgencer's unapproachable

Few newspapers in the country have
better news facilities than '"Ehe Pitts
burg Post. A glance at its columns
day by day will convince even the most
casual reader that this is a fact 1t
covers the local, domestic and foreign
fields thoroughly. In addition to the
splendid service Of the Associated
Press, "The Post" receives the news
Of the world collected specially by two
of the leading New York newspapers.
Thus not a source Of news is left un-
covered.
The great success of 1.-The Post" in
reporting the Spanish-American war
is being continued now that war has
been carried into Africa. "The Post's'
dispatches from London and the seat
of war are unequaled. Particular
praise should be given the cabled let
tiers of /. n. Ford. who SO ably sizes
up the war situation each day.
Now that Congress is in session
1.-THE Post" may be expected to give
the most complete and interesting re-
ports from the National Capital. AL
ready the events are shaping them
selves for the presidential campaign
of 1900, and "The Post" is planning
to duplicate and then excel its Won
derful record Of 1896.
The great progress made by "The
Sunday Post" in the last few years
nas made it one of the maryels of
modern journalism. It's half-tone
supplement is not surpassed anywhere
and is equaled by few magazines.
It is the cleanest family paper, and
its market reports are the latest and
most reliable.
Taken all in all the prospects Of
"The POST are of the brightest, and
its readers have every reason to be
lieye they win fare better than ever
before.

Bill Brown S Gambling Bear
He Created First Class Scandal in Church Circles and Then
Cost His Trainer Pot of Money Signalling That
Tom Was Holding Full House.

"Bill didn't say much to this, but the
next evening, when l called at his house,
l found him sitting at the table, pack
of cards in his hand, and that intelligent
bear looking on in the most interested
manner.
Loving care I've lavished on that
bear, said Bill in answer to my questions,
feeding and housing him all these years
and never charging him cent for board.
Now, in my old age, he will repay me for
my toll and add to- the Brown bank ac-
count
It's the act of a kind hearted man
to teach his bear to play cards, i an
swered. sort of puzzled like, for / couldn't
understand Bits game. During the long
winter evenings nothing comforts
bears heart so much as a quiet game
of solitaire in front of a warm fire. But
how that is going to bring shekels into
your pocket 1 can't see. Do you mean
to set up a training school for bears, and
advertise: Card playing, dancing, and
all social accomplishments taught bears
of good family at reasonable rates?"
"Bill thought / Yves laughing at him,
and looked quite grieved
"'Do I look like man, Deacon he
inquired in injured tones, who would
roam over the hills of Pike county, teach
ing bears the exhilarating game of sol-
taire, and taking checks on the Bears
National Bank in payment? This re-
markable bear CT my own, who has had
the advantage of years Of association
with honest old Bill Brown, may be
taught the rudiments of card playing.
But it's an amusement that isn't ever
likely to become popular with the gen
eral run of bears. Anyhow, it's poker,
not solitaire, that I'm explaining to my
pet"
There's a bear I told Bill solemn
ly, who has grown to years Of bear dis

touching card. Is it the act of a Chris

YOU find anything authorizing you to teach

The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-08-12

&c There's a bear that I've spent
thought, and care. and valuable time
training, and just when I am winning
Tom Wilson's money in a record break
ing manner he chooses that moment to
give a fancy exhibition of a big black
bear throwing a fit. I'll teach him a
lesson that will make him appreciate
there is a time and place for everything,
including fits.
"And Bill picked up a stick and be-
gan beating that much abused bear.
f" Even a Christian I, told Bill SOL
EMMY would resent the treatment
you've handed out to that bear, and
forgivng tenderness isn't the long suit
of any black bear That pet of yours
blames you for the internal commotion
he suffered last night, as well as for
the beating you gave him. If l am any
judge of bear nature, he will be looking
for revenge
That bear of mine is the pet and
pride of my heart replied Bill earn
estly. I've fed and cared for him. No
animal who has come to know my good
qualities the way that bear has would
ever cherish malice against honest old
Bill Brown for the few Christening blows
gavd him..
tom Wilson is pretty good judge Of
bear, as we'll as human nature. He had
made up his mind that there wouldn't
be much more valuable information COM
ing to Bill Brown from that bear. So
Tom didn't make any protest at having
the bear sit back of him. The game
went along for a while without much ex-
element. Bill kept winning, for the bear
gave the signals all right, although sub
sequent proceedings showed he was only
waiting for a chance to get even. Finally
Bill got an ace full, while Tom Wilson
had four threes. Bill glanced over at
the bear The treacherous animal gave
signal that Tom was holding full
house. Poor old Bill, thinking he had
the best full house in the deck, bet so
much that when the call came all the
money he had won and a big bunch of his
own coin was in the pot Tom showed
down his four of a kind and raked in
everything in sight.
"Bll was dazed. He looked over at
the bear to see if his once faithful pet
could have made a mistake. The self
satisfied look on that furry deceiver's
face showed that he had msled his
chair and began pounding the bear
But that particular bear had made up
his mind he was not going TO stand any
thing more in the way of abuse from
Bill Brown When the boys untangled
the mix-up Bill looked if he had been
having an argument with a stone crush
err The bear ducked through the door
way, and that was the last ever seen OF
him. Bill was inconsolable.
q I don't so much mind losing all that
good money he said, in grieved, pa
thetic manner, although that hurts. But
to think, after knowing me all these
years, that bear should play such
treacheroqs trick on honest old b':l
Brown almost breaks my heart.
