A number of years ago Mr.. Withee
was presented with two fine hounds.
and, wishing to try their training and
their grit, he took them out to do a lit
tie bear hunting.
The first morning Withee let the dogs
out for run while he was getting the
breakfast, expecting them to be back
in q short time. When breakfast was
over, the dogs had not returned, SO,
taking his gun, Mr.. Withee started out
in the direction they had taken. After
travelling about a mile the faint bark
ing of dogs could be heard, and it was
then plain why the dogs had not re-
turned. They had scented game and
were in pursuit The sound of the
barking led him far up the side of a
mountain, and soon he came in sight of
the dogs standing around the upturned
roots of tree.
Mr.. Withee crept up cautiously until
within about Is feet of a cave that was
near by, and then black, shaggy head
could be seen just above the roots.
Taking good aim, he fired his "A cali
Der and awaited results. After several
minutes he went up to the cave and
what he saw there gave him a shock
from which he has never recovered.
Two bears lay dead. and two more
were so stunned that few quick pass
es with knife settled them.
For the four bears Mr. Withee re-
ceived 500 bounty, $3.50 for their
hides and $42 for the bear oil, making
$3.50 for one days hunt.-Maine

a quarrel between Holborne and anOth-

high pitched and had a catch in it. 1t

fully aroused, nor did the quarrel con-
tinue long.

With my having been i'll and out Of
work for months. with my being penni-
less aud seedy and discouraged, with
my asking for a meal here and bed
there as l tramped the highways be-
tween London and Liverpool, no one
could be blamed for sizing me up as a

ingly. 1 made no complaint of that.

One night in the county Of Warwick,
came upon farmer who had neither
wife nor children, but was living alone
on his small holding. His name was
Holborne, and, though gruff at first, he
finally gave me hearty supper and
the privilege of passing the night in his
barn When supper was finished and
he had heard my story, he offered me a
pipe, and we sat at his door and smok-
cd and chatted for an hour. 1t was
agreed that should turn to next morn.

Birds and Their Baths.

Naturalists tell us that in making
their toilets some birds use water only,
some water and dust, while other pre-
fer dust and no water. Birds are not
only nice in the choice of bath water,
but also very particular about the
quality Of their toilet dust.
Wild ducks, though feeding by salt
water, prefer to battle in fresh water
pools, and will fly long distances in
land to running brooks and ponds,
where they preen and dress their
feathers in the early hours of the
morning. Sparrows battle often, both
in water and in dust. They are not SO
particular about the quality Of water
as about the quality of the dust. The
city sparrow must take a water bath
where he can get it. Road dust, the
driest and finest possible, suits him
best. Partridges prefer dry loan.
They like to scratch out the soil from
under the grass and fill their feathers
with cool earth.
Most birds are fond of ashes. Take
a walk some early morning across a
field where bonfres have burned and
see the numbers Of winged creatures
that rise suddenly from the ash heaps.
A darting form, a small cloud of ashes,
and the bathers disappear.

Whether or not a college education is
advantageous depends entirely upon
the ability of the recipient to absorb
and utilize such an education. Un-
fortunately such a view of the case is
seldom considered by parents and
guardians who are inclined to send
their children to college simply be-
cause it is considered the proper thing
to do. Consequently we find through
out the country thousands Of young
men who have passed through college
acting as cheap clerks, bookkeepers or
even as car conductors and restaurant
| walters. Having learned no mechan-
ical trade for which they may be adapt
ed and being untitled by nature for a
profession, they go through life discon-
tented with their lot and vaguely be-
lieving that the world owes them bet
ter treatment because they have gone
through college.-Los Angeles Times.
