THIS BRuiN WENT ON A SPREE.
Invaded a Dairy, DRANK His FIN ans
Was Happy

Invaded a Dairy, Drank FIN and
Was Happy.
The proverbial bull in a china shop
has found an imitator in bear
which has been paying unlimited
visit to esta ablishment where milk
is dispensed, but in order to relieve
Immediately any anxiety which might
be felt the subject, I hasten to say
tnat bruin behaved extremely well,
and that no bones or crockery were
broken The bear was being exhibited
on one of the outlying bouIevards
when its owner, in an absent-minded
fit, relaxed his hold on the chain, says
Paris letter to the London I 1elegI aph-
The animal took advantage of this
situation to start on promenade, and
when the people who had gathered
around to witness the show bolted
panic-stricken in every direction, IL
pursued the even tenor OF its way until
it had reached the shop, at the door
of which a pail of milk was standing
1t seized the can in its paws, walked
into the establishment and squatting
comfortably in corner, drank off the
contents at one gulp-
When the owner of the bear arrived
on the spot he found the worthy wo-
man who keeps the milk shop lying
prone on the floor behind the counter
in a state of abject terror, but other
wise not a bit the worse for the ad-
venture He patted bruin, who was in
even more amiab1e mood than
usual after the little feast to which he
had treated himself, duly paid the
bill which he had run up, adding
trifiing sum to compensate the trades
woman for her fright with his grizzly
companion, who, during the remainder
of the day, went through his evOlu-
tions with even more zeal and energy
than he was wont to display. so that
when his owner finally wended his
way hOmeward he discovered that he
had far exceeded his usual average OF
profits, and had more than recuperate1
himself for the money spent on the
milk.

What's Your Name ?

When a boy, the great French au-
thor Alphonse Daudet was very poor,
but he was allowed to attend, without
paying any fees school in which
the majority of the pupils We're the
sons Of rich men His appearance at
the school, dressed in blouse, which
only the very poor wore, was the oc-
casiOn of many taunts and JeerS from
his school fellows, and even the mas
ter never called him by his name, but
addressed him as What's your name,
says the American Boy. But the boy
never needed the i'll will nor the
sneers; he determined that he would
make something of himself, saying
IF 1 am to take any position in this
school 1 must work twice hard as
the Others BY steadfast persiStency
and courag geouS determination he did
succeed, and when his name had be-
come famous he wrote a story in mem
ry of those days of hardship and pow
erty, and called it Little WhatS-E1is-
Name

Egyptian Women.


The Egyptian beasts of burden, the
camel, the OK, the donkey, have the
same patient look as the people 1t
may not be improper to add another
beast of burden. woman There is the
look of sad patience in every Egyp-
tian woman's eyes as in the me1an-
choly river boiling at its great task
and in the face of the camel, the DON
key and the OK. They all look at you
with the same expression of patience
They seem content to live, no matter
the conditions of their often wretched
ife-and not desirous of making
change or resistance The long swim e
of the camel the measured stride of
the OK or buffalo, the half-trot OF the
donkey are seen everywhere The
woman's face is covered, at least her
mouth is always. for no Mohammedan
woman may expose her mouth to the
vulgar gaze of passers-by All have
the same expression in their eyes as
the camel or other animals

different instrument, which he is sup

gesture The leader viii take the name
of the drum. which is the most i'm
portant instrument; the first man on
his right will have the horn, the
second the Gym balls, and so on
After all have performed for a few
moments on the various imaginary in

my drum now to Mr. Ling who may

beating the drum. and each of the
other players must Immediately change
his instrument so that the order from

AS TO AGE OF EARTH AND MAN

Complex Social Conditions Existed Seven
Thousand Years Ago
The question of the antiquity of the
earth and of man has caused no end
of discussion among scientists. The
biologists have figured themselves
into a disreputable state They have
gone on adding ciphers to their esti-
mates until they have caused all other
scientists to revolt. They are them
selves abaShed when they cOntem-
plate the results of their own enthu-
siasm. The anthropologists who have
made a study of the characteristics OF
the human race scientific lines,
culatiOns, but they can come to no
agreem ent- The most modest admit
that man existed and had reached a
complex social condition at least sew
enty centuries ago.
There are scientific reasons for
suming that it required thousands OF
years for the race to achieve the social
conditions which are revealed by the
lettered tablets of 5000 B. G. The
ruins of an extensive system of water
works afford presumptive evidence
that there was a hust1ing business
community at Babylon, for people who
do not hustle cannot pay plumbers
bills. The tablets prove the use of
a printing press and of a revolving
cylinder with raised type-Baltimore

In springtime, when the little leaves
Unfold upon the trees.
And open to the gentle rain
And to the soft, warm breeze,
Entranced, they listen to the songs
Of little birds that sing,
And cry aloud for very joy:
How beautiful is spring.
In summer, when the trees are clothed
In cool and shady green,
The pretty, clust'ring little leaves
IN beauty full are seen.
With wondrous grace the branches
spread
Beneath the sunny sky:
How beautiful the earth appears
The little green leaves cry.
In autumn, when the earth is clothed
In rich and mellow shades,
And ali the foliage from green
To golden yellow fades,
The little leaves begin to fall,
And whisper they pass:
"'Good-by, dear trees; good-by to all, -
And hutter to the grass.
In winter, when the snow fast falls
And all the trees are bare
The little leaves upon the ground
Lie snug and cOZy there.
"Good-nig ght,'' they whisper to the
wind,
Here safely shall We keep,
Until new life, with spring. returns
