BEARS NEEDED DINNER.
So They Ate the Midday Lunch
Brought to Woods by Workmen.

Catskill, N Y March 3O-Never since
the late Rip Van Wrinkles return to the
village of Falling Water with his half
believed cock and bull story of having
hibernated in the heart of the Catskills
for twenty years has so much excite

region as that stirred up today by a
hungry family of mountain bears.
There were three in this interesting
party, mamma bear and two half
grown cubs, and all as nearly famished
as a healthy bear can be after a hard
winter. Trotting down to the Hotel

way that Bruin has when a fora aging

Harding to his summer home. on South
mountain. and they thoughtfuHy
brought their dinners with them. While
occupied with their work the bear fam
lily nosed around and discovering the
score of repasts the men had provided
for themselves. proceeded to parcel out
the meals among themselves.
By the time the men discovered their
loss the bears had done ample justice to
the fare and disa ppeared into the noun
tains. The men were compelled to go
hungry when noon came and spent the
dinner hour telling each other their
opinion of the Catskill bears, which was
usually graphic but impolite

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

There have been no visible gradua-

shows The educational series should
be complete by this time, but is not.
The 'teenth of the series was delivered
at the New Crawford last night. "A
Little Outcast'' was the title, which
should have been a suggestion. A little
Outcasting of characters and parts
would have helped it considerably.
Ten people accounted for the eigh-
teen listed on the programme, but that
was enough. Any more would have
been a crime. But after ALL lots OF
people enjoy that kind Of a show, so
they are entitled to it. Although the
general outline of the plot was like ali
others of the lower strata melodrama.
