Sons. Washington: Woodward &

In an earlier work entitled 1.-The Estab-
lishment Of the Spanish Rule in Ameri-
ca" published in 1898. Prof. Moses gave
some account Of the origin and earlier
history of the institutions framed for the
government Of Spanish America. The
present volume presents some phases or
colonial history and social organization In
the last part of the eighteenth cntury,
particularly as they appear in the south
ern half of South America. The task
here undertaken is to present certain
conspicuous events, institutions and
phases of life that may illustrate the
state of the southern Spanish colonies on
the eve of the revolution which gave
them independence.

If the owner of this big. white. savage
beast does not want a dead bear on his
hands sand a dead bear is truly of little
value-it behooves him to do all in his
power to make the animal comfortable
through the hot spell. The same is true
with other animals whether they came
from arctic or equatorial zones. In
their native heath these animals ran at
large The jungle was their home and
they were always able to escape the
suns rays and provide for themselves,
but cooped up in cages at the Zoo is an
entirely different matter, ana so they
must receive careful attention.
One day last week two dainty bits of
femininity found their way out to the
Geological Park. They were apparently
Interested in animals. for they went
directly to the superintendent office
and asked to be allowed to wander
around the cages with the gamekeeper.
1t happened to be exceedingly warm
that day. and the girls saw the Zoo
officials provide for the comfort of the
animals.
AS the gamekeeper strolled along
with the fair young things at his heels
he wondered. Where do they hail
FROM was the burden of his thoughts.
After some moments he concluded they
were from Boston, the haven of learn
ing, which accounted for their desire to
accompany him on his rounds and learn
of the treatment of animals.
The Big Polar Bears.
Their first stop was in front of the in
closure which houses the polar bears. At
first neither of the two inhabitants was
visible. Both were within the stone house
because it was cooler than being outside
Without further ado the attendants ran
off the warm. stagnant water that had
been in the little swimming pool all day
and fresh. cold water was substituted.
The big. white bears seemed to know
what was being done, although they were
hiding in the coolest spot they could find,
which happened to be in the stone house.

AS soon as the pool was filed one of the
bears hurried out and went into it kerfiop.
Amt he cute?" exclaimed the blond
young lady. The other d brunette.
The gamekeeper chuckled to himself
and in self-communion said: They are
not from Boston or they wouldn't have
said amt. They must be from Chicago.
Feeling that he was in measure their
guide and that he should explain things,
the gamekeeper told the fluffy young
things that the polar bears were perhaps
the hardest OF the animals to care for
during the summer. "Of course" he said.
seals, walruses and other animals that
come from the same regions are just as
hard to care for. We have to keep them
out of the sun as much possible and
provide plenty of fresh, cool water for
them to swim in and drink. AT other
times we have to give them shower baths
with a hose in order to cool them off.
Now, come over here" he continued

There is undoubtedly much in the open
life of the summer to appeal to the fair

THE GREATER LOVE. By Anna Nc.

THE GREATER LOVE. By Anna Nc
Clure Sholl, author of The Law of
Life" etc. New York: The Outing
Publishing Company.
T7HIS very thoughtful book is
based upon the principle that
any infraction of the laws that
govern society carries with it
its own penalty. The can
trail theme, both in it's gradual revela-
ton and in the almost tragic events that
lead up to it's solution, is developed with
unmistakable clearness. That the heroine
is woman of rare personality, that her
offenSe has been almost forced upon her
by circumstances, does not lessen the de-
gree of her responsibility or tighten the
weight Of her atOnement. 1t merely adds
to her capacity for suffering. The two CEN
trail characters. mother and daughter, are
contTasted and forceful types that compel
the interest 1t is in their relation to
the shadow that overhangs them that the
moral drama of the book is enacted.
A feature of the story is that character
istic phases of American life are repre-
Sented. phases that do not often find
their way into fiction in such complete
analysis. There is a realistic background
of family interests and of town and cOun-
try life. The difficult problem of Flea
nor Valgraves position is handled with a
dignifed compromise between frankness
and reserve.
