Of Ben. which opens the work. comprises
about one-third of it and appropriately

black bear, the result of direct observa-

wilderness. The story of Ben tells the
life history. SO far as the author knows
it, of a black bear captured as a cub in
1890 Ben was then about four or five
months old. He became close friend
and companion Of his captor, but, as Is
the case with all wild animal pets, Ben
grew up into adult bearhood and became
problem. He was finally the cause Of
such serious neighborhood disturbance
that his owner was obliged to give him
to the, manager of a travelling circus, and
at last accounts the grown-up Ben. whose
appealing baby face in the frontispiece
makes friends for. this fascinating book

DISCUSS KITCHENER'S FUTURE.
Correspondence or The Star.
LONDON. Ma,


LONDON, May ., 1910.
Lord Kitchener. who arrived in England
Wednesday, found that his future was
being discussed on every side. Every
one knows that he will not remain long
in the ornamental Mediterranean COM
mand. which he only took by desire OF
the king. The question that is agitat-
ing many minds is whether he will go
back to Indian as viceroy, i'm success
sion to Lord Mimic, or to the war Office
Glittering and flattering as is the post
Of Viceroy of India, ii is believed not
to appeal to Lord Kitchener. who dis
likes all the fuss and pomp that are
inseparable from the post. He is,
moreover, a bachelor. which is a draw
back to the social sid ce"oyal.y.
Lord Kitchener's we'll meaning friends
here are suggesting that he should be
made minister for war, but his dislike
of party politics is So well known that
it is doubtful if he would ever iden-
tify himself with a particular party.
A lesser post than this. but one that
his grea. genius, would be that of
chief of the general STAFF. with seat
on the imperial defense committee.
This is now the most important post
in the army. The perfect general

general staff of all-that of Moltke.
