TWO BEARS

To deal with living grizzlies, admire,
understand and even love them and
to be the first man to domesticate
Capen Adams, writes W. IL. Wright in
the Grizzly Bear" The story of Ad.
ans career is told In a book entitled
The Adventures of James Capen Adj
ans. Mountaineer and Grizzly Bea:
Hunter of California"
1t was on Adams first expedition.
somewhere in eastern Washington,
that having shot an old grizzly that
was followed by two yearling cubs, and
having after many difficulties and re-
peated failures captured the young
sters, he came into possession of Lady
Washington, destined henceforth to be
his companion and servant.
She was already old enough to resent
the restriction of her liberty and it was
not until he had supplemented kind
her new position in the scheme of life
From that time to this" Adams
says, "she has always been with me.
and often has she shared my dangers
and privations, borne my burdens and
partaken of my meals. The reader
may be surprised to hear of a grizzly
companion and friend, but Lady

ally enough, to have valued her affec-
tion. But the following year her nose
was put out of joint"
During one of his hunts in the Yo-
semitic valley in the spring of 1854
Adams located the winter quarters of
a grizzly bear, from which the occu-
pant had not yet emerged, and decid-
ing from the sounds that reached him
in his careful accommodating that the
occupant was a female with young, he
determined to watch for her appear
ance, kill her and secure the cubs.
The adventure proved a thrilling one,
and at the conclusion of it he found
himself in possession of a grizzly bear
so small and helpless that he succeed
ed in raising it only by inducing a
greyhound that accompanied the party
and had a young family of her own at
the time to adopt it in lieu of two out
of her offspring. Thus Ben Franklin
and his foster brother grew up in amity
and continued to be sworn allies
through life.
Ben having never known the world
under any other guise accepted it
frankly as he found it. He not only
did not have to unlearn the habits of
the savage, but seems never to have
developed them, at least not toward
his master He was never chained, he
slept for the most part in Adams COM
pany and when at last the ultimate
test of allegiance was unexpectedly
presented to him he took sides unhes-
itatingly with his adopted master
against his own relations. Adams,

Poor Human Nature.

The woman who had succeeded ,t that rather difficult task-makins ! boarding house pay-was coniding 10 q friend some of the tricks of the tra,.e
 'While you must never allow you- boarders to get too far behind in their payments. it is also true that you will profit considerably by allowing them a litt'e leeway. So long as you are sure of your money it pays a landlady to have her boarders q week or two be- hind in their board.''
 II don't see that" interrupted her friend.
 Well, I'll tell you," continued the landlady. When a man owes back board you have him at certain dis advantage. Not one in hundred un- der sDch circumstances has the nerve at mealtimes to ask for second help tng.-Eow York Times.

Thackeray's Satire.

TEackeray created quite erroneous impressions of himself by often indulg- ils in irony in the presence of people who were incapable of understanding it. One curious instance which he gave was this Ihackeray had been dining at the Gurrick and w:!s talking in the smoking room after dinner with yar- ous club aeGuairtn One of them happening to have left his cigar case al home, Thackeray. though disliking the man. who was q notorious tuft hunter. good naturedly offered him one of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar. but. not finding it to his liking. had the bad taste to say to Thackeray. T say. Thuckeray, you won't mind my saying l don't think much of this cigar:" Thackeray, no doubt irritated at the mans ungraciousness and bear ing in mind his tuft hunting predilec- tions. quietly responded. You ought to. my good fellow. for it was given ne by lord" Instead. however. of detecting the irony. the dolt immedi- ately attributed the remark to snob- bishness on Thackeray's part and to the end of his days went about declar- ing that "Thackeray had boasted that he had been given d cigar by q lord"

The Expense of a Wife.

\ wife is d decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sense. however sensible and managing she may be. she is expensive. But everything worth having has it's price of one sort or another. and there are some thinAs which cost much without which life is hardly worth living.
 Said Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on. when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that it is the extravaganza of their wives which causes the incon- venience.'
 Which wise saying is applicable to men in other countries besides that of France.-New York American.

The Human Lobster.

The lobster has always appealed to the Englishman as affording nick name for his fellow Englishman. Lobster was favorite term of abuse among the Elizabethans, though it is only conjectural that an allusion to red faces was conveyed. As signifying a soldier. lobster originated in the civil war, being applied to the Round head cuirassiers, as Clarendon ex- plains, because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered Afterward the allusion was transfer rcd to the soldiers red uniform. But that was the "boiled lobster" The ''raw lobster was naturally the man in blue, the policeman. In earlier days we find Grose explaining that ito boil ones lobster" meant for a clergyman to become a soldier.-London Chron- icle

CIVIL SERVICE
APPOINTMENTS
RECOMMENDED
Mayor Haussling Wants City Of
ficials Chosen from Eligi=
BILE Lists.

Mayor Jacob Haussling in a mes
sage to the Common Council last night
recommended that the city officials use
the eligible lists prepared by the old
civil service commissioners in making
appointments. The Council referred the
message to the finance committee.
The message reads as follows:
/ beg to advise you, and through YOU
the other departments of the city govern
1nent, that / nave filed with the city
clerk the so-called eligible lists OF per,
sons who have passed examinations held
by the Civil Service Commission for ap-
pointments to positions of various kinds
under the city government; The recent
decision of the courts. to the effect that
the civil service law was not applicable
TO this city and other municipalities, makes
1t impossible to enforce appointments from
these lists. as was the case heretofore.
The Fire and Police Departments will be
obliged, in making appointments, to oper-
ate. hereafter, under the old law, which
requires the compiling of eligible lists by
pointed by the Mayor.
Leaving these departments out of con-
sideration. it seems to me that the CITY.
in making other appointments, might,
: with great propriety and justice, be guided
by the eligible lists prepared by the State
Civil Service Board. The city government
sought TO adopt the civil service law and
abide by it as a measure of municipal
policy. This was done after a full con
Sldefatlon OF the subject and with the
tacit consent of both of the great politi-
cal parties. The operation of the system
may not AVE been in all respects per.
fectly satisfactory, but ii was instru-
mental in improving the conditions under
which our subordinate employees worked.
in stimulating their ambition and giving
them a feeling of greater security, all of
which aided in bringing about better
service.
This is one compensation. Another is
that these lists are made up OF a large
number of persons who have by study
and other wise proven themselves capa-
BILE of filling the positions to which they
aspire. AT some sacrifice of time and
labor. they have demonstrated their fit
ness under somewhat exacting. tests, and,
moreover, with a reasonable reinsurance
of appointment il they should meet the
requirements. 1t seems TO me that the city
is under a moral obligation to these
persons, which is, that they shall be con-
sidered when appointments are to be
made to the positions for which they have
been declared eligible.
The mere accident which rendered a
law adopted in good faith by the city in
applicable here should not blunt our sense
of justice or cause us to reverse "A policy
entered upon after due deliberation and
consideration.
