thought to do. Kennedy merely struck the

started to run. He had taken only one
step when the bear seized him with his
forepaws and enreloped him In an embrace
as merciless as the coil Of a python.
"a fusillade Immediately began from
our party, all OF us blaming ourselves that
we had needed Kennedy's instructions to
the letter. We galloped down to where
the bear still stood, swaying to and fro
with the mar in his paws.
AT last the brute dropped, lying in a
pool of blood. Kennedy. too. was dead.
the brute had ripped open his chest with
his paws.
When we skinned the bear, although
his hide was worthless. we found that he

Portland O%regonian: In other climates
spring comes upon a country of frozen
fields and sapless boughs. The changing
of the seasons appears to people that nave
been rubbing hands and stamping feet in
unkindly weather, and their appreciation
breaks forth in obvious verse, until the
Spring poet is as plentiful and as OBJ
noxious as the perspicacious pests of the
later season, or the persons that ask rs
1t hot enough for you?" 1t is the idea OF
many who greet spring with blue noses
that the season cannot be appreciated in
such a land as Oregon, where winter IN
balmy and trees are evergreen. There
could be no greater mistake, for we do
not hail spring for what 1t ends, but what
1t begins, and, although here we have no
snowdrifts to melt away under the breath
of the chinook, the wind brings promises
of the blue, unclouded" summer. 1t il

Is proclaimed

MEN ARE 70 BLAME.

Responsible, Says Mrs. Russell Sage,
for American Homelessness.
New York Tribune: 1t is CUSTOMARY
for those who deplore the tendencies
Of modern life to put all the blame for
everything that is wrong upon women,
but Mrs. Russell Sage takes a different
view of h matter. In an article in
the Club Woman she holds The Amerl-
can man responsible, in a great degree,
for modern American restlessness and
homelessness.
w hear little nowadays of the obli-
cations Of the father to his children
a W Mrs. Sage. The modern father is
not like the Scotchman of Philadelphia,
who said: I do my share in caring for
these seven children On the contrary,
the modern father says: Let the
nurse take care Of the children. We
will go to the park
The paternal instinct is not strongly
developed in the average man. He
must be diverted, and the woman, in
stead of being a helpmeet to her hus-
band, becomes a provider Of amuse.
ment. No part Of the day or week is set
aside wherein fathers may become ac-
quainted with their children. The Sab
bath is given over to a mad seeking
after excitement. When the father
comes home in the evening the children
are in bed. The strain upon the wife is
great. and many dangerous expert
ments are made to comply with this de-
mand of the men for amusement. The
watchfulness which a careful mother
should give to her home and children is
expended on the selfishness of one man
the father! 1t is this attitude of the
father which is a serious menac to
home life!
Club life and apartments, Mrs. Sage
also mentions as partly responsible for
the passing of the home. The apart
mentment," she lays, lis really the So
luton of q knotty problem brought
about by the Typographical formation
of u metropolis mi the enormous
increase in population, but it neverthe-
less makes real home life almost inn
possible. 1t is difficult to find an apart
ment at moderate cost that is large
enough from a sanitary point Of view.
All rooms are or one floor. The child
cannot be isolated from the mother,
and the latter cannot obtain the neces-
sary rest which is imperative to her
well-being.
This problem CT space is not solved
even in the country. 1 know one moth
summer nome near the city where the
accommodations for the family and five
maids are sufficiently healthful and
comfortable. h will not doom the
maids to hot attic chambers and an
abundance of mosquitoes"
The servant problem Mrs. Sage men
tons as an effect and not a cause. The
growing desire on the part Of the wom-
en- to free themselves from household
cares and their consequent neglect Of
the duties Of the mistress have created
the servant problem, in her opinion.
And all these things are visited on the
heads Of the children. They are left
more and more to the care of servants.
They receive no moral training. And
as for manner there are not enough to
be worth mentioning today. Neither
does the school supply this lack. The
intellect is fed, and there is no time
left for moral training or the teaching

Somewhere, afar of in the city, there
rang a tremulous bell, launching its
vibrations upon the infinite silence as
a sinners guilty soul might trembling
stand in the presence Of Almighty con-
domination. The melancholy howl of q
