bald-face bear, is found, and it is a
tiend when 1t gets going. 1t delights
in scalping people. Newcomers in
Alaska frequently resent the presence
OF the bald-face bear, and usually to
their sorrow. The bald-face bear is
all fight. While he doesn't go around
looking for fight, he will never tire
himself getting out of its way. If you

of his mighty forepaw scalp you frVn

"Clocks are certainly queer things"
said the man who was tinkering at the
hall clock in q suburban house the 9th
er day. "They get cranky spells just
like people. Sometimes they really act
as though they were bewitched. A
friend of mine had a little clock that
had behaved itself and kept good time
for years. One day 1t took a notion to
lay off for awhile. and they couldn't
get 1t started again. My friends wife
was cleaning the room several days
afterward. ard she took the clock and
laid 1t down fiat on its back on chair.
1t started to go at once and ticked
away at a great rate. but as soon as
she placed 1t on end 1t stopped again.
Well. they set II. and for time 1t act
ed all right as long as 1t remained on
its back. But Il soon got cranky again
and refused to 40. The other day, just
for fun, they turned 1t upside down,
and. would you believe 1t, that crazy
clock started off again. Now 1t only
runs when 1t Is standing on its head
and they are wondering what new fool
ishness it will develop next."-Boston

Author and CAnsus.

Apropos of the census, well-known
author got into trouble with the man
who called for his return" last Mon
day. The final column of the paper
says that you are to write the precise
infrmity, if any, opposite the name of
the person, and if the infirmity dates
from childhood add from childhood ="
Under this heading my friend put "au-
thorship," and the census man spent
some time arguing with him that au-
thorshlp was not an infirmity. "You
try It and you'll know better" said my
friend. 'I'll put measles there If you
don't go away" And the census man
went away, still grumbling.-Lo
