Mr.. Ncknor lives at Bear Gulch, so-called be-

lived there Cor twenty mine years, but has not
seen many bears there of late.
He says that one morning this spring, after
starting the fires he stepped out Of doors to see
how the weather looked when he saw coming
down the drawback of the house large furry
animal accompanied by two smaller ones. AS
they drew nearer he soon saw that the party was
composed of an old bear and her two cubs. The
old bear was thin and gaunt and came without
hesitation up to within ten feet of Mr.. Ticknor.
He picked up an ak which was handy, but the
animals did not seem to be unfriendly. The
cubs came snuffng about his feet and the old
bear sat upon her launches and looked at him
appealingly. Then the idea came to him that
they might be hungry, and he went into the
house. bringing back with i him joint Of
fresh meat and some milk for the cubs, which

well-known woman IN New York society
vowed that she would not smile because
smiles caused wrinkles. At twenty-five she
married, and her friends declared that dur
ing her reign as a society belle her face had
heightened an inch. Suddenly love brought
great happiness into her live especially
when her first child was born, and she
smiled In spite of wrinkles or the fear or
them. Today. at thirty. she looks ten years
younger than when she married. and she Ia
no longer afraid of smiles.
There are some purely physical reasons
for the queer expressions we see on the I'M
smiling faces In the street One OF these is
the extraordinary dotted and figured veil
which women are wearing, despite the ocu-

dots of a face yeil are so situated as to

the size and shape of the feminine hat. The
