LUCKY BROOKLYN CHILDREN.
4 Playground Started for Them In Vacant
Let on the Heights.

Lot on the Heights.
lot In the Heights district Of Brooklyn
has been lately made into q private play
ground for children whose families can
afford the luxury. That part OF Brooklyn
Is built up, and as there are no parks there
about the idea has proved 4 popular one,
Judging from the number Of children OF all
ages that throng the playground every
day.
A brick wall that originally surrounded
the entire property on which the playground
10 situated shuts II Oh from public view
and insures for the children and their nurses
privacy such as the seashore or tho parks
do not afford. Inside the playground are
things calculated to delight the juvenile
mind.
There are all kinds Of swings for all sizes
OF children. Then there are a oroQuet
ground and basketball court.
One-half Of the place is given over to
two immense sand piles in VIII! n the younger
children dig with pals and ehovels Tents
the children play. and for totswithout nurses
there is an attendant.
One rule that 10 followed strictly In con-
necticn with the place is that none but babies.
snd s Sssn nds are h aDssd
oand2: Alter O'Clock the place Is crowded
With older children.
The playground Is run on a sort Of club
plan, the fathers OF the children paying
an Initiation fee and q month dues The
number Of children In family is not limited
Since the playground was started there
has been a noticeable absence Of children
and baby carriages from the streets on
the Heights and the shouts that drift over
the wall from the, playground leave little
doubt in the mind of passer.by that the
children themselves approve Of Il

The tameness an impudence Of the
bears In Yellowstone Park have been COM
mented on great deal OF late by tho news
papers, said = native Adirondack dweller,
but I doubt II those hears can beat our
Adirondack bears much in that respect.
'There was a time when the Adirondack
bear was as wild and shy and fierce as bis

Ing camp follower and hanger-on around
clubhouse aud hotel and camp grounds,
a pensioner on the garbage pail and the
refuse supplies.
AT camps or olubhouses where they
have not been disturbed bears have in
many instances forgotten their shyness
and fear OF danger TO such degree that
they come staggering to the very kitchen
doors, and, II not chased from there, do
not hesitate to enter the camp itself an I'd
nose around for cholcer noreels than the
garbage pail CONTAINS. Bears be came such

that he pitched into one impudent old chap
one day with horeewhip. The bear went
back to the woods, stopping every few
steps to rub himself, looking back At Garry

Nobody at Benson's Camp would think
OF killing one Of these ahaggy intruders
any more than he would think Of killing q
woodchuck. Garry Benson says that kick

only temporary relief, but the horse whip
once laid well over bear. he finds, causes
that bear to give that place . wide berth
thereafter.
AT the district school at Sanders Mill,
on the Mad River big bear came slouchinE
out Of the woods one day, week or 30 ago.
and advanced directly on the schoolhouse.
Some Of the children had eaten their lunch
con on the grass In front of the building
THE bear stopped and licked up the
crumbs and remnants Of the repkst, and
then stuck his h Ad In at the echool-house
door. The screams OF the pupils and tbs
school ma'am frightened bruin. and he
hurried back into the woods.
The next day the bear came to the school,
house at about the same hour, and ate the
crumbs and crusts he found on the grass
He didn't venture to the echoohouse door
again, though. and after he had cleaned
up the remnants of the school lunch he went
sIowly back to the woods
His visits became OF daily regularity,
and, It being evident that he came with no
evil intent, the teacher. and now and then
a pupil, took to tossing him al apple or
other bit OF luncheon, and finally to feeding

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE,
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half Of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate Of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. It is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and exccetion.
It pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timonsals sent entirely unsolicited to
Dr. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Systemic Catarrh.

take Peruna. My little girl who is
eleven years old had catarrh. but was
crred by Peruna. Before l began to
take Peruna was sick all the time, but
now am entirely cured, and all praise
is due Peruoa.'-Mrs. NJ. x. Bousch.

the business OF stealing does not pay.
In ali cur cities there are youths am
bilious to be thought "s1nart." They
feel themselves too smart for humdrum
industry and commonplace honesty.
To them sober, hard-working, plod-

on the sinfulness OF dishonesty are
wasted, bat if it can be borne In upon
them that they, and rot the young
men of regular lives, are the fools, they
may be tlded over until added years
bring them sense.
1t is not high appeal to make, of
course, but then high appeals would
go over the heads OK these youths. If
an appeal to vanity and self-interest
will avail, then the appeal jg,stiEes it.
