The late Judge Pettengill of the
Maiden district court concealed un.

kind heart, and nothing touched
him 50 quickly as an unintentionaI
witticism, especially IL it we're al

One day a prisoner arraigned be'
fore him for drunkenness, and still
under the influence Of liquor, plead
ed as hard as he could to be placed
on probation.
"Why should I place you on pro.

"Why, you're drunk now"
"No, I'm not, your honor" said
the poor prisoner earnestly; DIN

OUR BIG BROWN BEARS.
They Are More Than Match For the
Largest African Lions.

IarSSst Atricdn Lions.
What percentage of people, even
of those who feel an interest in
wild animal life, really know that
the largest flesh eating animals in
the world are found in America !?
People generally believe, and have
believed for ages, that the African
lion is the king of beasts. But he is
not nearly as large or as powerful
an animal as the large brown bear
of subartie America. The bears
are not as ferocious or combative as
the lions, nor are they nearly as
vicious as they are given credit for
being. But the largest of them are
much larger and more powerful
than any of the lions. 1t is safe to
say that the, largest of the brown
bears of the north would weigh
three times as much as the largest
specimen of lion and is beyond
all question greatly superior in
strength.
Comparing these two powerful
animals in action if brought togeth-
er in combat, the bear would at
first appear very clumsy. 1t would
not be capable of the quick rush or
the catlike spring of the lion. 1t
would not attack, but would remain
entirely on the defensive, meeting
its adversary with blows of such
rapidity and terrible force as at
once to illustrate its superiority not
only in strength, but in action. /.
do not believe that there is an ami.
NAL in the world that can act more
quickly or effectively or can aim it
blows with greater certainty than
the bear.
The large brown bears of the
Alaska peninsula, south of Berins
sea, are among the largest bears of
the world, and it is evident that
there is no part of the world out.
side of America in which such large
flesh eating animals are found. The
bears are flesh eaters, or carnivo-
rous, yet there are none of them
that depend upon flesh for food,
and with most of them flesh com.
prises but q very small percentage
Of their food.

north and those of the Alaska pen.

You can't be we'll if you have weak

can you feel good if by some little ir-
regularity in eating you have caused
the stomach to get out of order. These
little stomach troubles are signs of in
digestion, which may, and very often
does turn into very bad case of dys-
pepsia. Don't allow this to go on a
single day without doing something TO
overcome it. Take some good reliable
and safe digestant like KODOL for
Dyspepsia. KODOL is the best remedy
