Thinks That Bears Should Be Treated
Like Gentlemen.

The Eskimo can say that he had
friendly feeling toward all living
things, notwithstanding that he fed
on flesh and that wild beasts some
times fed on him, says the Contem-
porary Review. Not that he ever
talked of wild beasts, for he had no
tame ones. He had not vocabulary
of rude terms about animals. He was
inclined to credit every species with
many potential merits. The Eskimo
is afraid-very much afraid of bears.
Yet he is the first to admit that the
bear is capable of acting like the fin
est gentlemen. A woman was in a
fright at seeing a bear, and so gave
him partridge; that bear never for
got the trifing service, but brought
her newly killed seals ever after. An
