swinburne : woman H.tsr.

The only literary character who is
acknowledged to be a woman hater is
Algernon Charles Swinburne. His
sentiment appears to be based upon
the fear that woman OF little cul-
ture would be dull beyond description
as life partner, and the conviction
that the clever. well-informed woman
Is the least attractive OF her sex.

bear proved to be a topper of the sort
that becomes vicious in his cups, and
when some boys teased him a bit he
started out to paint the town.
Jacob Teitz, the town constable, was
the first to encounter the drunken beast.
Disdaining the majesty of the law, bruin
gave him a cuff on the jaw and chewed
his arms to the bone, after which he
chased all the people off the main street
and besieged Barber John Schrocks in his
shop.
Postmaster Boyer telephoned to somer-

bring a posse to take charge of the bear
When the sheriff arrived four hours later
he found all the townspeople inside bar
