foxes of Kadiak Island are much more
inouisitive than bears, and after a
number of them had been caught the
bait was changed to salmon.
DR.. @. Hart Merriam. Of the divis-
ion of biology and entomology of the
Department of Agriculture, discov-
cred the Kadiak bear. He had un-
dertaken a systematic study Of the
fauna of Alaska, concerning which at
that time very little WAS known. In
the course of his investigation he dis
covered that for many years the Alas
ka Commercial Company had been re-
ceiving bear skins from the then little
known Kadiak Island, on the extreme
northwest coast OF Alaska, which,
from their enormous size and some
peculiarities of color, seemed to be Of
a new variety, altogether different
from the black and grizzly bears.
Pushing his investigation further,
DR.. Merriam discovered that such was
really the case, aud that on Kadisk
Island there lived species Of bear
that, in point of size. was not only
larger than the largest grizzly that
ever lived, but, what was more, was
the largest carnivore in existence.

Determined to Succeed.

The following is one of the tradi-
tions of manufacturing firm in Gla'-
gov, Scotland: Thirty years ago a
barefooted, ragged urchin presented
himself before the desk Of the princi-
pal partner and asked for work as an
errand boy.
There's a deal o running to be
dune" said Mr.. Blank, jestingly, af-
fecting broad Scotch accent Your
qualification I'D be pair o shoon."
The boy, with grave nod, disap-
peared. He lived by doing odd jobs
in the market, and slept under one of
the stalls. Two months passed before
he had saved enough to buy the shoes.
Then he presented himself before Mr..
Blank one morning, and held out
package.
II have the shoon, sir, he said
quietly.
"Ohw Mr.. Blank with difficulty
recalled the circumstances. You want
place? Not in those rags, my lad.
You would disgrace the house.
The boy hesitated a moment, and
then went out without a word. Six
months passed before he returned, de-
Gently clothed in coarse but new gar
ments. Mr.. Blanks interest was
aroused. For the first time he looked
at the boy attentively. His thin,
bloodless face showed that he had stint
himself Of food for months in order to
buy these clothes. The manufacturer
now questioned the boy carefully, and
found to his regret that he could Meth
er read nor write.
at is necessary that you should do
both before we could employ you in
carrying home packages" he said
1--WE have no place for you.
The lads face grew paler; but with
out word of complaint he disap-
peared. He now went fifteen miles
into the country, and found work in
stables near to night school. At the
end of the year, he again presented
himself before Mr.. Blank.
81 can read and write, he said
briefly,
81 gave him the place, the en-
ployer said, years afterward, with
the conviction that, in the process of
time, he would take mine, if he chose
to do it. Men rise slowly in Scotch
business houses, but he is our chief
foreman"

"Yes, me and Gottlieb Layer was

German-American citizen. "Gottlieb
for long time thought everything
was better in Germany as America.

beer were better and coffee was strong

"Well, one day the young son Of

hearing Gottlieb kicking about the
size of things. He got halfa dozsn

The Old Kaiser and the Little Girl.

Many an interesting anecdote is
told of the "old Kaiser Wilhelm -
the grandfather of Emperor William
and Prince Henry.
In his later years the aged Kaiser
took great pleasure in visiting the
schools and catechising the children.
At one time while in the city Of Elms
he visited an orphan school that was
in the city and under government pat
ronage.
After listening for an hour or more
to the recitations Of several of the
classes, the Kaiser called to the front
bright, haired little girl seven
or eight years of age, and lifting her
into his lap, said to her;
Now, then, my little fraulein, let
me see if you can answer me three
hard questions" And taking an
orange out of his pocket he held it up.
"To what kingdom does this belong?'
he asked.
The little girl hesitated moment,
and then said, timidly: ITO the veg
stable kingdom"
Right, my little fraulein, said the
Kaiser. "And now, to what kingdom
does thi, belong?" The Kaiser drew
a gold piece out of his pocket and
placed it beside the orange.
More confident this time, the little
girl replied: ITO the mineral king
dom"
Better and better" said the Kai-
ser. Now, look at me and tell me
to what kingdom do belong?"
The little girl was confused. Dare
she say "the animal kingdom?" ?" All
the teachers and pupils looked at her
with breathless expectancy. But in
moment she glanced up in the face OF
the kind old Kaiser and said; ITO
the kingdom of heaven.
This unexpected answer drew tears
from the eyes of the Kaiser. "Yes,
yes, my child" said he, 81 trust that l
do belong to the kingdom Of heaven;
and the day is not far distant when l
shall go there, my little fraulein." D."
Then kissing the little girl, he pre-
sented her with the gold piece and the
orange, and brought his visit to
close.-NeU York World.

PRINCIPLA.

cast pebble on the placid deep,
And watched its rpples wide and fainter sweep,
Until the last vibration feebly died
Upon the bosom Of the swelling tide.
Now, wise men say it only seemed no more,
But npped on and on to shore and shore
Across the echoing hills called aloud.
And they gave answer to the far-of cloud
moment. and the cloud sent back refrain,
That, trembling died upon the widening plain.
Blu, wise men say the sound, too faint to hear,
Made vibrant earth's remotest atmosphere.
So. we are pebbles cast upon the deep.
And voices on the winds that ceaseless sweep.
How faint our rippes and how weak our cry.
How soon they seem to fail they never die,
But on and on go ripping evermore
Until they reach the far, unsighted shore
Until they strike, beyond the wind and wave,
The vast harmonic soul Of Him who gave.

voiced a little cry and left the room.
In little time the doctor raised up
with his ensanguined instrument in
his hand and dropped the bullet on a
table that had been placed at his ell
bow.
Good for you, Herbert!" he ex-
claimed. 'That is about as painful a
thing as doctor can do for man."

"You're all right, Mr.. Herbert"
averred Whitaker. ~ couldn't have

The wound was then dressed, and
Guy thankful to have the ordeal over,
released his tense muscles and fell
back, white, trembling and numb with
the shock.
"You're Concord man with Har-
mony grit, Herbert" smiled Vlanding-
ham.
His daughter reappeared just in
time to hear the words. Coming
near the bed, she pushed her hands
IISA tiuu I'LL CSU-
ed her blue eyes at Guy. He returned
her gaze steadily.
Did he read sympathy in her look?
And was there nothing else in it but
sympathy? He was no weakling and
never had been. He did not want pity
from anyone, especially from this fair
girl whom he--loved! For some time
he had hesitated to acknowledge in
his own heart the depth of his esteem
for Miss Betty. Their meetings had
been few, and, for the most part, I'M
der stress of peril to one or the other.
And behold, this was Guys first ex-
perience with the tender passion! A
first love springs like Minerva from
the head of Zeus; or, better still, like
Aphrodite from the sea. These callow
beginnings of the old, old tale are for
the most part as substantial as a
child's bubble-just about; yet occa-
sionally, be it known, men and women
have ideals and will strike their col
ors the very moment the ideal comes
into their lives. Guy had met his ideal
and had surrendered his heart. He
was not doubtful of himself: if he had
any doubt at all it was of Miss Betty.
All at once he remembered the hap
penings at Lake Elizabeth and of the
sorry plight in which they had left
him in Miss Betty's mind. When he
began to talk with the view of leading
up to an explanation, he was frowned
down by the doctor.
"Don't converse" interrupted the
medical gentleman; don't move,
either. Simply lie as comfortably as
you can and rest. III come out and
see you again this evening"
Closing his medicine case with de-
cisive snap, the doctor tucked it under
his arm and went out.
