BEAR THAT LIKES PUDDINGS
Young Canadian Black Cub In New
York Geological Gardens Be-
coming Very Naughty.

In the New York Geological Gar
dens there is young Canadian black
bear that has become very naughty
of late. Part of his biography has
just been published. It appears that
when the bear was a cub he was a
farm, pet, was as domesticated as a
dog and wandered untethered about
the yard and all over the farm. The
sort of life he led and some of the
stunts he did are entertainingly writ
ten in "The Frolics of My Black Bear
Cub" by Mrs. E. H. Baynes in the
March st. Nicholas. The article is
Illustrated by photographs which
show also a tame prairie wolf and
deer. playfellows and domesticated
companions of the cub Jimmie. We
quote one of the "frolics":
Jimmy's favorite chum and playfei.
low was Romulus, a young prairie
wolf. The fact that they were such
good friends was due largely to jim
my's good nature, for certainly Romu-
lus leased him in every possible way.
Even in the matter Of food, Jimmy
was disposed to be generous, and he
seldom resented the attempts of Ro-
mulus, or of Actaeon, the deer, to take
from him his bread and apples. There
was, however, one particular kind Of
food which he insisted on having his
full share of, and that was plum pud-
ding. He would eat 1t at any time
of the day or night, whether he was
hungry or not, and II there was any
limit to the amount he would eat, no
one ever discovered 1t. No matter
how much was given to him he never
seemed to consider the quantity suf-
flcient to warrant his sharing 1t with
his playfellows, and If either Of these
attempted to force him to divide with
him the result was fight. Not that
Jimmy was really vicious, but he gave
his companions to understand that on
the subject of plum pudding his opin-
lon was law. One day, after romp-
ing in the snow all the morning, jim
my presented himself at the kitchen
window, and several slices of bread
were passed out to him. The cub took
them in his mouth, let them fall to the
ground and continued to peer into the
room.

HIS OWN LAWYER.
Man on Trial for His Life Prefers to
Conduct His Own Defense.

st. Louis, Dec. 9.-On trial for his
life, Austin Greaves arose in court
here and announced he would defend
himself. Against the ADVICE of the
trial judge and an attorney appointed
to defend him, he questioned the men
impaneled to serve on the jury.
Greaves shot and killed his boyhood
chum, Alfred Hunter, four months
ago. At the opening of the trial, be-
cause of Greaves' poverty, Attorney
August Waulz was named to defend
him.
The first of the twelve panel had
taken seats, when Greaves said:
81 don't want any lawyer l don't
know anything about law, but know
what is right and can prove my limo
cence."
Greaves asked two questions Of
each of the jurors.
''Will you give me a square deal?"
was the first.
will you treat me the same as if l
could afford to hire an Attorney"
was the other.

IRISH TONGUE CRUSHED CUT
Curious Story Of How "TaIIy-Stick"
Was Used Decades Ago to XIII
Gaelic language.

The curious story of how the tally
stick" crushed out the remains of the
ancient Irish language among Irish
children some decades ago was told
the other day by T, P. O'Connor. the
Irish political leader.
when the English were determined
to make all Ireland over into sort
of England" said Mr.. O'Connor. they
used some most unusual means.
Among these was the 'tally-stick.' This
was a small stick of wood which each
child was forced to wear on cord
about his neck. Every time his par
ents heard him say word of Irish
they were supposed to cut notch in
the stick, Just as the American trap
pers of the old days are said to have
notched the stocks Of their guns every
time they killed an Indian. Then
when the child got to school the next
day the master counted the notches.
And for each notch the child was CIV
en- one blow with switch-one notch,
one blow; two notches, two blows; six
notches, six blows. Thus the irish
language was beaten out of the
mouths of the Irish children.
'In school the little ones were
taught to look on themselves not as
Irish children, but as English, They
were not taught any Irish history, and
the fires of patriotism in them were
damped in every way.
But of late years there has come
I'D a great national movement In Ire
land which has restored the ancient
irish or Gaelic tongue, and has made
the people proud of their ancient liter
allure. 1t has reawakened the pride OF
the Irish nation. A university has
lust been founded in which the Irish
language is now being taught by six
or eight professors.

Secretary Wilson could not have
gotten any grown in Mississippi to
have made that much corn. The
grown man would have thought that
Secretary Wilson was a fuzzy old
fraud up at Washington who was a

the man would have gone ahead in the

Fellow Member Wenatchee Com
mercial Club:
There are lot of splendid ideas
in the minds of the $50 members of

known and used. For example, one
member suggests recipes for ways of
preparing apples be placed in all
boxes shipped from the valley An
other says, have signs reading We
natchee Apples Sold Here Supplied
to all fruit dealers. All great ad-

tape seems to appeal to Aberdeen at
this time. Unable to save her face
any longer by ignoring the press
comments on her attitude, Aber-
deems coach has written a statement
TO the board as follows:
According to the constitution Of
the Washington High School Athletic
Association, section ", article 4. the
board of control is to issue state
ment as to the relative standing of
the high school teams. | have writ
ten to this board telling them that
Aberdeen would abide by any de-
cision that they will make, and if it
is necessary for Aberdeen to play an
other team not on our schedule, we
VIII play any team that this board
names.
Il have written a letter to each
member of this board to this same
effect The following men compose
the board of control: President,
Principal H. NJ Hart, of the South
General high school, Spokane; vice
president, J. E. McKown, principal
of the Lincoln high school, Seattle;
secretary-treasurer, J. G. Collicott,
principal of the Tacoma high school.
The Tacoma Ledger stated in its
last Monday issue that Aberdeen was
afraid to play Tacoma again, and
that we were also afraid to play We
natchee. This is doing us a great
injustice. At present we are play
ing the games on our schedule, and
if there is to be championship
game, we will play any team in the
state to decide the issue. This has
been Aberdeen's stand all season
and we never refused to play any
one, including Tacoma and Wenat-

NO ASCENT Been

Prof. Parker Ridicules the
Claims of Cook and Lloyd
on Mt. Mckinley.

New York, Nov. 10.-Professor
Herschel Parker, of Columbia Uni
versity, who recently returned from
an exploration of Mt Mckinley, to-
day made public series of photo
graphs taken near the top of the
Alaskan mountain which he claims
as indisputable evidence that Cook
never reached the top of the high
est peak of America. Parker states
that he found the mountain peak
which Cook photographed. and call
ed Mount Mckinley, 1.-The top of the
continent" and in support showed
the photograph of a mountain peak
taken by his expedition last summer
and pointed out that the comparison
of the two photographs shows in de-
tail the identical outlines of the rock
formation, proving that they are
pictures of the same mountain.
THE mountain which 1 photo
graphed," said Parker, was twenty
miles away from Mt. Mckinley and
$4,000 feet below its summit. This
is the same peak which Cook pho
tographed and called the top of the
continent -
Regarding the reported ascent of
Mckinley by the Tom Lloyd expedi-
ton from Fairbanks last summer
Parker said that although his party
got within seven miles of the top
of Mckinley, he could not see the
flag or pole alleged to be planted
at it's top and claimed to have been
seen with glasses from Fairbanks,

The board of trustees of the Y.
NJ. c. A. held their regular monthly
meeting yesterday afternoon in the
secretary's office in the Harlin block.
1t was decided to begin the collec-
ton of pledges at once and to en-
ploy assistance necessary to do this
vigorously.
Secretary Mclaughlin made a talk
concerning membership. He urged
that a vigorous effort be made to
increase the roll and the trustees all
responded by making application on
the spot. 1t is probable that the
membership campaign will continue
until the organization is well
formed.
A motion was carried to pay Ar
chitect Russell $1,000 now, $500 on
February 1st, the balance to be adj
justed at the completion of the build
ing, at the rate of 4 per cent on this
cost. Treasurer Howard Thomas
was authorized to pay all bills APP
proved by the building committee
and by the general secretary.
Bids for material to be used in
the new building are now being re-
ceived. The forms are being placed
today for the construction of con-
crete foundation, ana if the weather
permits. the erection of the building
will progress rapidly from this time
forward.

ASKS FOR % ARMY
AEROPlANES
Gen. Allen Criticises Small
Interest Shown by
War Department.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 10
Twenty aeroplanes at least are
needed for the United States govern
ment, says Gen. James Allen, chief
signal officer of the army officer of
the army, in his annual report, made
public recently.
These aeroplanes should be on
regular practice at different points
in the country throughout the year,
said Gen. Allen.
They should be present in camps
of instruction for regular troops and
organized militia. Twenty aero
planes would provide but two for
each camp of instruction
Gen. Allen deprecates the fact that
although the United States was the
first nation officially to recognize
the aeroplane for military purposes
it has not kept pace with the world
in the development of military aer-
Onautics.
Summed up, the aero equipment
of the United States army consists
of one dirigible army practice bal
loon, one Wright aeroplane and three
small captive balloons, says the gen.
eral.
Experienced military airmen can
not be created after was is declared, !"
he says, land the demands of this
new service undoubtedly will require
higher qualities of training, judg-
ment and courage than any other
branch of the military service"
