Another bear Btorv comes from
Raymond /. Ditmars, head keeper of
the New York Geological Park but it
is of a different nature. A pair of
brown bear cubs were put into the
same pit with a black bear. The lat
ter was almost full grown and larger
than the little brown cubs together.
So he proceeded to bully them, nip
ping their tails when they ate, tum-
bling them about, and ducking them
in the water tank in the middle of the
enclosure. Protest did them no good,
and the only peace they ever found
was when they crawled into a little
cavity between the rocks, too small
for the black bear to follow.
But while the black bear remained
much the same size, the little brown
cubs grew apace, and soon they APP
preached the size of their bully. For
a time both sides seemed unconscious
that relations might soon change. But
one day the crisis came.
The two brown cubs were sleepily
lying on the brink of the water basin.
The black bear rolled sleeplessly IN
the shade of rock ledge. Finally he
roce, waddled over to the tank TO
drink, and then sat down on his
launches. His eyes fell on the two
drowsy cubs. With a snort he rose
again. and then deliberately gave one
of the brown bears a shove into the
tank.
The cub came up on the opposite
side with a howl. His partner gave a
responsive howl. Then both charged
the black bear. There was a momen-
tary scuffie, an ursine yell and the
black bear went into the tank. He
rose after his involuntary dive, and
tried to crawl out. but a brown paw
came down on his nose with such
force that he turned to the other side.
Again he tried to crawl out, but again

THE REVISED VERSION.

When Henry Ward Beecher was
asked by an Eagle reporter to give
his views of the revised version OF
the Scriptures, he answered, "Come
Eore ten years from today and | will
give you my opinion' The reporter
recorded the date and would have
been at Mr.. Beecher's door at the
time named had the great preacher
l:Ted SO long But in the smile an
twinkle of the eye with which Mr..
Beecher postponed his answer he :
tckened his estimate of III changes
III the text of the Bible that had
been made with such expenditure of
tine and such heralding of trumpets.
And that estimate seems TO be shar
ed by nearly all other prelates, for it
IS not easy 10 find other than the
King James version in our churches
and Sunday schools.
Although the revision of the Tcst4-
ment into stricter English was a use-
fdi literary exercise, the differences
discovered between the new and old
er versions are commonly too slight
Il Justify the change In some
, cases force has been lost az the gain
OF verbal correctness, in other cases
the substitution of involved for sim
Pier forms has beer a disadvantaee.
ihe TWentythird Psalm in the old
version says, yea, though walk
through the valley Of the shadow Of
death, | will fear no evil" The new
version puts it thus: "Yea, though I
walk through deaths dark vale of
shadows. no evil will I fear" There
! Is no gain in this. On the contrary
il is closer to the vernacular and
n.cre dramatically sensible to say.
1 will fear no evil" than to phrase
it. No evil will I fear" In many
other instances sentences have bcon
reversed, for no clear reason,-Brool;-

want the road. What say our board

Pine Bluff is certainly in earnest
about building the road named. What
this city wants is the entrance OF the
Rock Island as a competitor OF the
Gould lines. This city pays to trans
portation lines for freight and pas
senger service over three millions Of
dollars annually, and the Rock Is
land is anxious to get a portion of it.
The road would also be a great ad-
vantage to Lonoke. and any aid that
city may render will only bring about
the desired end earlier.
