The Rage For Decoration.

The number II those decorated
with stars. ribbons. medals, etc, Is
remarkable IN society nowadays. If
women still retain the position of
being the decorative sex men are
certainly the decorated. Orders,
medals and 50 on are distinctly a
decoration as general rule and
nothing more. The last thing in the
world that they mark j. personal
distinction. Ii j. a common mascu-
line aiTcctation that titles are ac-
ceptcd mainly to please wives, who
have weakness for being my la

which are not shared with the wives
are just as eagerly coveted and ac-
ccpted. London Truth.

Prof. Adams Of London Tells University
OF Chicago Students the Day OF
lchabOd Crane has Passed

Washington Irvign's Ichabod
Crane soon will be forgotten.
Legends Of the future will not
include him, for the conventional
schoolmaster belongs to the
changing order and is swept along
in the current.
No longer will the pedagogue
of Sleepy Hollow in his long black
coat, standing collar, black tie.
and high black felt hat be pointed
out as the model schoolmaster.
He is to bo crowded off the fash
ion plate. Then, too. he is TO
lose his popularity because he is
too serious.
In his place will come. the pro-
fessOrial dandy, a schoolmaster
with gay clothes, perhaps a new
Beau Brummel. His coat may
be cut long, but it must have a
tinge of color in it. His tie may
still be of the bow fashion, but
there must be streaks of red.
green, or brown interviewer into
it. His collar may be high or
low, but it must have the proper
seasons dip to it.
On the new schOOlmaster )
countenance there lurk radiant
smiles. Frowns and scowls will
be abandoned, and accordingly
there will be few wrinkles on his
happy, care free face. He will
beam with happiness, and such
adjective as melancholy will be
missing in his vocabulary. "
Prof John Adams holds the
chair Of pedagogy in the Univer-
sity of London. His address
July 81, was scheduled TO be on
Soul Building, but in his en-
thusiasm for his profession he
turned from his main theme TO
give his opinions OH the pedago-
que of the future.

How a Hunter Got Himself Out OF an
Uncomfortable Predieament

J. + Newsome is a Port Ar
thur Canadian and Alexander An

An Enghshman named Atwell
wanted TO get a bear and Ander-
son tried to crafty his desire.
Atwell was the kind Of a man
who would like to kill a bear in a
trap so Anderson took two bear
traps and a lot Of bait up a gully
near Ouimet, looking for a sign.
The Englishman went looking for
bears and left Anderson to set
the trap. says a writer in Forest
and Stream.
All of a sudden a big she bear
appeared before Anderson at the
foot of tree between a couple
Of whose roots a trap was TO have
been set. Not having any gun,
Anderson, so Newsome says, de-
termined that hypnotic force had
to be used. and that suddenly.
Anderson looked the bear in the
eyes and the bear paused; then
Anderson made three passes with
his hands. The bear leaned its
head forward and its eyes bulged
out. Having satisfied himself
that the bear was properly infiu-
enced, Anderson yelled for At
well, but Atwell was a good way
off, and before he could arrive the
she bear s2-year-old and yearling
cubs came out Of the tree at the
same time. A yearling cub alone
would be pretty hard fighter at
close quarters, especially with a
hypnotized mother bear near by
likely to come to at any moment;
but a 2-year-Old cub and a year
ling both at once made a mighty
serious matter.
But Anderson was fully equal
to the emergency. He managed
to look at the bears four eyes at
once, and soon had them subju-
gated. Newsome says he would
not have believed Anderson tale,
only Anderson is now cross-eyed,
which he wasn't before. owing to
his looking both bears in the eyes
at once.
