the Providence Journal. The police Of
a large city bear but a small proportion
to the rest of the inhabitants. and in
smaller towns and remote communities
the concrete representation of the law
is practically invisible. That is to say,
there is nothing to prevent a return
to the conditions of two or three CEN
turtles ago except that intangible. but
none the less powerful, public sentiment
which years Of settled and orderly gov
eminent have created. The respect for
statutes that obviously could not be
enfOrse ed without something like COM

growth of recent times. England was
a highly civilized country in the eight
teenth and sixteenth centuries. Yet
there were dangerous brawls in cities

the personal safety which W now accept
as an ordinary incident of life, anG
about which we do not directly concern
ourselves, was once a matter of the ut
most concern to whoever stirred far
from his own hearth. In our day the
necessity for carrying arms exists only
in half-civilized communities.

By Cyrus De Vry.

CHead Animal Keeper at Lincoln Park,
Chicago)
r HE fercest battle | ever had with
a wild animal was an unexpected
encounter with the Russian brown
bear now in the north bear pit at Lin
coin park. The Russian brown bear
has as companions a common black
bear and a Russian grizzly which looks
much like the brown bear. Probably
the most easily noted markings differ
entiating the bears are the long white
claws of the grizzly. The brown bear
has shorter claws, a longer snOut and
is not as heavy as the grizzly. | have
described the Russian brown bear thus
accurately so that visitors at the bear
pits may easily detect my enemy. For

Il BEGAN FOUNDING AWAY AT HIS LEFT OPTIC"

He seemed to be a jolly good fellow,
even though he was a bear. 1t hap
pened that on the morning in question
an agent from the Boston parks called
on me to inquire what was best 10 do
with bears which had acquired Ger
tain bear diseases. | had just finished
killing a mountain lion that had gone
100 far in bad health to be saved, and
together with my companion at once
proceeded to the bear pits. We noted
the first pit, in which were several brown
and grizzly bears; next the polar bears,
coming at last to the north pit, ii
which were then, as now, he three
bears | have described, and with them
at that time several other black bears.
Two iron fences separate the bears
from the visitors. We passed the first
barrier and stood at the inner railing
next to the bears. Without paying
much attention to what the bears were
doing. | stood near the iron railing,
explaining certain facts about bears
and Deal medical treatments. My foot
and leg were near the railing, and be-
fore | was aware of it the Russian
brown bear, coming near the fence,
had seized my leg with his claw, tear
ing my trousers and decorating my
leg.

by the pain which the treacherous
brute o~ccasioned and by the unwar-
rantedness of the attack. 1t is the
custom of animal keepers to lot allow
animals to profit by an assault Of this
Kind, for if they do profit they viii
repeat the attack if they can and be-
come more and more aggressive and
ferocious. Acting on the impulse OF
the moment, l unlocked the gate en-
tering into the bears den. l a only

would bring him to terms nj give
him the necessary d~isciplining.

they will do you the most good!"

friend from Boston expostulated with
me, but I knew best-or thought I die
