pany, and Others against the Chesapeake

provided that from and after the passage
OF that act it should be unlawful in the
District of Columbia to charge or receive
for the use of a telephone more than the
rates prescribed in that paragraph.
Justice Gould stipulated that when the
evidence taken under the order shall be

hearing in the first instance for the pur-
pose of having the court determine, as re-
qured by the mandate, what classes of
telephones telephone equipment and tele-

THE PERlPATETIC BEAR.
Summer Outing of n Mother Grizzly

 There is deal of discussion among hunters after big game in the moun- tains concerning the sort of fathers and husbands grizzly bears make, says a writer in Outing. The consensus of opinion seems to be that bruin is an un- faithful, heartless spouse and con temptible father. He will help Mme. Bruin seek cave or an opening in the rocks or mountain side, where their cubs may be born, and he will carry a dainty morsel, such as sheep, a calf or part of cows carcass there for his mates food. However, few days after the cubs are born in the family circle he will leave the home, probably never having any further ac- quaintance with his spouse and her make her own way and provide for her cubs. Unlike the black bear, which Is a jolly, fun loving father that rolls and frolics with his baby children. the male grizzly will have nothing to do with the cubs. Mme.

 Soon after he had received his title and had become the Earl of Beancons- field an old peer greeted the new peer one day and asked him how he felt. Beaconsfield was just walking away from the house of lords, but his thought seems to have been in the house of commons, for he said:
 ''I feel as if were dead and buried"

One is listened to with indif- ference, if at all: the other stirs to every fiber our being and our souls thrill responsive to his lightest touch.
