AMUSING SERIOUS TRICKs-BEARs
From the New York Press:

From the New York Press:
Not far from the theatrical district
in East Fourteenth" street, there Is q
school of acting for bears. The shaggy
denizens of the forest go through a
two years course that fits them for
tragic, light comic and walking parts.
A diploma guarantees their Qualiflca-
tons; the graduates win applause In
high class amusement halls and at
country fairs all over the land.
1t is amazing to see the difference
between a raw, shambling student and
the educated, upright actor, who dofts
his silk hat, gives his arm to a lady,
playfully drinks out of a bottle, stands
on his head and embraces his master.
The raw student is worth 5000, while
the salary earnings OF the accomplished
player entitle him to a valuation of
50, 900 There are few infant prodigies,
since the ursine intellect has not devel-
oped much before the age of one or
two years.
American bears are not encouraged
in the drama. It may be prejudice in
nestle bears lack eclat, temperament
and docility of foreign artists. The
grizzly is too dangerously big and the
Maine species has a Yankeefied manner
only suited to backwoods exhibitions.
The Polar bear Is desirable for the
white costume that fits the part of a
prosecuted heroine, but the sloping
forehead betokens lack of mind. The
buff colOred Russian does well on ac-
count of his revolutionary intensity of
style, while the black Himalayan, dec
| GRATED with a white on his breast, is
most esteemed Of all histrions. He has
commanding presence, is pathetic,
grave and gay, according to the ex-
isencies of the scene.
The visitor to the school of acting
assembled the stairs to the top floor of
the building. There was no sign to in
dictate the nature Of the institution in
a thickly populated, noisy locality.
Through the half open door at the top
came a variety of sounds and CONVEX
sations. There was something between
a grunt and groan. Then a deep
| sucking sound, as If a, crew of hungry
| tramps were eating soup at Delmon-
ico's.

= JOhn l. Davenport, day editor OF the
New York Tribune when Amos J. Cum
mings was night editor, and Greeley
was in his editorial prime, was like
Cummings, a rare reconteur of Greeley
stories. One that Davenport loved to
tell was about an error for which
Greeley himself was responsible. Gree
ley, an authority on election figures,
one day went into the Tribune office,
overjoyed that the Republicans had
carried Westchester county in local
election. He wrote an editorial on the
subject and put a comparative table.
taken from the Tribune Almanac, in
the article. When the paper appeared
the figures wer misplaced, the Repub-
tcan vote appearing in the Democratic
column and vice versa. Greeley was
in an awful temper and vowed after
much blankety banking, that he would
kick the proof-reader out of the place.
He would not be made fool of in that
way, etc. This in the editorial room.
Upstairs he told the proof-reader that
he ought to be kicked from one end
OF the composing room to the other.
The man thus berated hunted up the
copy and held it before Greeley with
but one remark: Read that sir"
Greeley read it; and then his face as
sumed look Of mingled contempt and
disgust The error was Greeley's.
Then he turned his back to the proof
reader, lifted his coat tail, and said
loudly: "Here Sam, kick me, and kick
me till holler"
One Of our daily contemporaries;
appealed to by SOME one as the ad-:
visibility Of becoming a printer, ut"
tiers great deal Of truth. It says that
it would not advise any young man to
take up trade like printing, simply
because it is too limited. "Once
printer always a printer. This is not
literally true perhaps but 1t comes near
enough the truth to warrant second
thought before entering such a trade"
The applicant was further advised to
take some position that would give him
more elbow room; anything but to be-
come a machine before he was twenty.
This is very good advice in its way and
should be spread widely. The intelli-
gent compositor always remains a
printer. What is it in the business that
keeps an man in it once he has learned
it? Unless one has capital one always
remains an emplaye; the exceptions
