Three wild bears in one day by

OF George Manly Of Lock Haven, Pa
One morning while George was wan

made another trip to the place OF his
adventure. AS he saw no bears then,
he hid In a thicket and watched. In
a little while he saw the head OF an
other bear thrust through a fence not
ten feet away. He fired, hitting the
bear In the left shoulder. After whlrl'
Ing around a few times bruin dropped
dead. Then Manly ran home again,
loaded his gun. while his mother stood
speechless with establishment He mere

of the house. AS he got into the front
yard he saw the third bear slowly
crossing the road quite close to the
house. One shot ended the career Of
this one. Dragging It to the house. he

Worlds Ideal of a Wife.

Some women who are to marry
professional men study medicine or
law, or even theology, in order to be
able to sy1npathize intelligently and
helpfully with the spiritual or in
tellectual pursuits of the husband-to-
be, and in way supplement the gyra-
lions of his brain with her own, and
thus lay broad and deep the founda-
ton for super-happy married life.
To be wholly absorbed in him, even to
making self-effacement the stepping
stone and highway for his success,
stands everywhere and for all time the
worlds ideal of a wife. But when a
man so devotes himself to his wife he
is nobody's ideal of husband. While
women are proud to be known as the
wife of a distinguished man, no man is
pleased to be noticed or accepted on
the ground of being the husband of a
distinguished woman.-Mary Wagner
Fisher in Woman's Home Companion.
