PIONEERS LEAD
COLONIAL BOWLERS

During the past two weeks of bowling
in the Colonial League. the Pioneers
seem to be making a runaway race Tor
the leadership, having gained thirty points
since the last publication of the averages.
These boys have done some wonderful pin
topping since the opening OF the season,
having won twenty-five games out of thir-
ty-siX, making their percentage .6al,
an advantage of 1873 points over their next
opponent
The Pilgrims, although they have not
bowled many games as the other
teams, are still occupying second place in
the race. with a percentage of 500. They
are nine games behind the schedule.
and when they bowl these they

the Firginians. the two trailing qunts of
the league. have made spurts during the

points in their percentage column and

BEARS AS HONEY HUNTERS.
In Their Search They Destroy
Apiaries of Texas Farmers.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The beekeepers of the Wharton section
in Texas frequently suffer losses from the
depredations of bears. Various kinds of
devices are used TO protect the apiarieS
from the invasion Of these animals. The
trap gun is one of the most effective
guardians of the beeAives. The fact, how
eve. that more or less danger is incurred
to innocent human beings who might ac-
cidentally throw the spring of trap gun
causes many Of the apiarists to prefer to
keep an armed guard over their beehives.
The Caney bottoms. situated short dis
tance from Wharton, are the natural habi-
tat of many black bears. The animals
seem to have keen scent for honey, and
they make nightly 1ncurS1onS into the
adjacent territory in search of a feast
of their favorite sweets One bear can
play havoc with an apiary in short order.
He knocks the stands over one by one
with his ponderous paws and quickly
obtains an opening into the honey COM
partments. The average bear has ii large
capacity for honey. and one of the ami
mails has been known to clean up score
of bee stands in single night.
Henry Carter. who has large apiary
in the Boiling neighborhood. had an eX
citing experience with two honey-loVinS
bears recently. He has a pack of bear
uogs which have been used principally
to guard his bees against the attacks OF
bruin. The kennel of these dogs Is close
to the hives, and no bear cared to venture
close To the spot. A neighbor borrowed
the pack to trail down some bears that
mad been giving him trouble and failed
to return the dogs at night. Mr.. Car
te- was awakened about midnight by a
noise which came from his orchard, where
his bee colonies We're located. He quick
ly OWNED that A bear raid was on. He
grabbed a rifle and hurried out of the
house toward the apiary.
He took a sudden backward jump when
big black bear rose upon its hind feet
from behind beehive and started toward
him. Mr.. Carter fired a the. animal at
close range. The bullet wounded bruin
and stopped his progress temporarily.
At this moment Mr. Carter noticed an
other bear running off from another part
of the apiary. He took shot at 1t, but
must have missed. no sign of blood
was found afterward. The first bear
which he had wounded soon resained its
feet and got so close to Mr.. Carter as to
strike at him vcously with one of its
paws Mr.. Carter bounded behind an
adjacent tree, where ne got in two more
shots from his rifle before the bear could
reach him. These bullets put end tO

stroyed his apiary before he arrived or

A Liberal Education.
the Philadelphia Inquirer.

In these days the term education is re-
ceiving new definitions and its practical
application is undergoing rapid change.
Formerly it was enormously looked upon
as the mere acquisition of knowledge
from books Later came a slight injec-
ton OF experimental work. Now things
educational are in state of fux. both
to administration and to character. Pres
identt Eliot last Saturday gave his deffni-
ton of>a liberal education, which all per-
sons ough,. to receive If possible, in the
following farms: A knowledge of past
and current Sevents In the worlds his
tory. power o. expression. an intimate
acquaintance with some part of the store
of human knowledge. a clear conviction.
how to discover truth and development
of the imagination,
II will be seen thai this relegates book
lore to a rather secondary place. History
and knowledge of literature are involved.
but these are not all or even the major
part of liberal education. The power
of logical thinking and the art of express
sion are not TO be derived wholly nor
principally from books but by exercise OF
inherent powers In continued practice. The
discovery of truth by any method is less
a matter of accommodating knowledge than
an exercise of the logical faculty and
investigation. The development of the
Imagination has only a remote connec-
ton with the printed word. while the init
mate knowledge of practical things comes
from laboratory work and lectures rather
than from porinS over text books.

Motor Yacht Races.

NEW YORK, February 20.-Although
the challenge from the British Motor
Yacht Club was received only a few days
since, yachtsmen interested in these craft
already are planning for the defense of
the British international trophy. and it is
probable that at the trial races which
will be held to select the three American
defenders there will be several new boats
that will be in the class with the Dixie III
and give that yacht hard race Last
year the committee in charge of the races
asked yachtsmen to build for the defense
of the trophy. Nine boats were entered
in the eliminating races. but several of
these had no chance of being selected and
We're put in the races merely for the ad-
vertising they gave their builders The
committee will this year probably frame
its conditions SO that these craft are not
allowed to compete.

Is What was the Score?' BY score Is

Therefore runs alone should be considered

play of the teams.

in defensive play. opposing teams scoring
sol against them.
Cleveland was second in offensive play.

the Maps will insist that this is proof
that the Maps were really entitled to
the pennant and Detroit vas lucky to
win. There is no denying the fact that
their showing in runs scored and their
defensive play entitled them to the high
position which they attained in the race.
