Tailors and Garment Workers Have

Iallors ana Garment Workers Have
Buried the Hatchet.
The question OF jurisdiction between
the journeynen tailors and the gar

tives in Washington. Il A dividing line
was agreed sstlp on. and a. pro position

that the journeymen tailors shall have

THE WRESTLING BEARS.
Their Antics Afford Lots of Fun to
the Visitors of New YOrk's
Geological Garden.

The great park of the New York
geological gardens is offering delight
full opportunities for study of wild
animals in practically state of nature
now that the dens aye well occupied.
A constant center of interest is the
great bear cave, and one particularly
attractive place is the den in which
are kept an enormous Russian bear
and common American brown bear.
These two big brutes are living the
most pleasant and sportive of lives.
They play with each other constantly,
and their antics are so strikingly SINH
Lar to those of clumsy human beings
that the spectators cheer them on IN
their games as they would rival ath-
letes.
A favorite sport of the two bears is
wrestling. There hardly is an hour
in the day when they are not at it.
They usually have their contest on the
very edge of their swimming pool,
and the great object of each bear
is to hurl the other one into the wa
ter.

little fun of this kind he shuffies over
to where his friend is reposing and lifts
himself awkwardly to his hind feet.
He then steps on the other chap or
leases him in some other manner.
When the reclining bear accepts the
challenge he arises and then the two,
standing upright just like great men,
advance cautiously toward each other,
each trying to get the best hold, ex-
actly as human wrestlers would do.
Finally they close and hug. Then
they sway back and forth and pull
and push and heave at each other.
Sometimes one will actually try to
trip the other one and so throw him,
but the bear wrestlers are shifty and
can, get around wonderfully well on
their big hind feet, so tricks do not
succeed very often, and as rule the
throw must be accomplished by main
strength.
When a bear finally is thrown he
goes into the pool with such smash
that the water flies all over the cave.
The wrestling matches are always in
solemn earnest and each bear evident
ly tries his level best to get the other
one down. But neither animal ever
loses his temper, and after one is
dumped into the pool he climbs out
again as good-naturedly as ever and
is ready to begin over again without
a sign of malice.-St. Louis Globe

whom savage old Bolivar, the terror

Bolivar picked it up and lifted it high

through the opening. The passen-
gers jumped from their seats, but be-

motorman had stopped it, and in

was hauling load of lumber down
the street, when the animal on the
right, in stepping into a small hole,

of the mule prevented. it from being

damage save the broken window.

CANINE MINE WORKERS.
In Ohio Dogs Are Used for Traction
Purposes Where the Coal Veins
Are Narrow.

Dogs of the new world fare infinite
ly better than their cousins of the
eastern hemisphere. In the streets
of European cities and in the coun-
try roads the dog is often met as a
beast of burden, or harnessed to q
cart and pulling several times his
own weight. In the orient and wher-
ever the faith of Mahomet is cher
ished the dog is regarded as the most
despicable of creatures. Here he is
found as the wretched pariah. or
street dog, mere scayenger, which.
with the buzzards, feeds upon the
refuse of the cutters.
The dogs of America are not put
to work, except in a few somewhat
out of the way places. On the ice
fields of the arctic the Esquimau has
been wont for centuries to harness
awolfish species of dog to his sledges,
and has trained him to his task so
