other at Creemore. They bought TO-
900 barrels at 81 a barrel delivered
at the factory. The whole output of

Anyone who could have cheated
the elder in game of checkers could
have stolen buzz-saw in motion; but
as the elder had charge of the ra-
lions, the good bear soon learned that
such victories were Improbable.
"Just about the time the elder
thought he had his bear well trained
at the checker game, and that it was
about time for him to try and get
a few bets from the rest of the boys
against the bear, he was called to the
city on important business which
would probably keep him away about

It would look queer to go trapesing

the elder hunted up Deacon Stebbins,
and confided the bear to his care.

Bowed to Senator Hale.

Bowed to Senator Hale.
Senator Hale is the autocrat of the
senate on naval matters, fact which
liz thoroughly recognized at the navy
department. Last summer Secretary
hetcalf took number OF senators
and representatives, members of the
naval affairs committees of the two
houses, on an inspection" jaunt of
the West Indies. Mr.. Hale went
along. One day the Dolphin lay all day
at some port while Secretary Metcalf
spent the time ashore. The place
bored Mr.. Hale. and he remained
aboard the Dolphin. In the evening
Mr.. Metcalf returned, and when the
captain Of the Dolphin asked for sail
ing orders, Mr. Metcalf told him the
ship would remain in port that night.
Just at that moment Mr.. Hale came
on deck. "How much longer will we
stay in this hole?" he asked Mr.. Met.

at once" replied Secretary Metcalf.
Five minutes later the Dolphin was
pulling out as fast as her engines
would take her.

"And Elder Allison marched of
with the satisfied air of man who
has got the commentator of the
church on an innocent recreation.
The pastor seemed puzzled and not
wholly satisfied.
AFTER awhile it got so that all the
boys were sort of reluctant about
playing checkers with the elder. Even
when there wasn't any betting on
the game they didn't care to play,
for the elder always won. The
elder found it sort of lonely without
his favorite game. One evening the
thought came to him that he could
teach his pet bear to play the game.
The more he pondered over the
scheme the more satisfied he was that
1t was success.
Checkers isn't a game to be
lightly approached by man or beast
he remarked sort of doubtfully to the
bear; but you seem to have the in
telligence of two ordinary men, my

me, privilege for you, and perhaps,

THE bear nodded his head at the
end of this little speech, as If he
understood every word of it. Prob
ably he did, being as l have said a
bear that could make his mark any
where in the great world of bears.
So the elder got down the checker
board and began teaching his pet the
game.
The good bear was as apt a pupil
as the elder could have found in the
whole country. Besides his natural
bear intellect, he had watched the
elders, games night after night, SO
that he practically understood the
whole thing before his lessons were
begun. In week the bear could play
