Art of Happiness.

Happiness is about the most misun- derstood thing on this earth. People believe that they know just wrat 1t Is, and invariably answer that they are striving for 1t daily. Yet the average persons hazy idea of happiness con sists of a palace, six automobiles, three or four houseboats, an army of servants, tons of stuff to eat and drink, and a full-sized mint of money.
 If one would only figure out where In lies his happiness he would be bet ter armed for the fight. The trouble is that we do not know what we want. And that is why we struggle along, day after day, in leisurely, careless manner. There is an idea lowering over us that there Is a bright future ahead, and we stop our thoughts there.
 First determine what you want Plan how to get it. And then fight for it. Happiness will be realized in the struggle, and when you finally get what you want supreme happiness will be yours.

nDrove" a Baroaln.

The city man had turned his horse out to pasture two years ago or more and as he had not been in funds he had not paid the farmer a cent during that time.
 Not long ago the farmers patience was exhausted and he informed the city man that he proposed selling the animal to pay for its keep.
 'You owe me more than the horse is worth now" said the farmer.
 The city man considered for a min ute. Then his face lighted up.
 'Tn tell you what I'll do." he said. You keep the horse two months long CT and you can have him"
 The city man thought he had driven a hard bargain. = Milwaukee Free Press.

HE talin (BodoFcas taxicolor
 sinensis) is a strange animal
 inhabiting a strange country.
 It has in China been killed by
 few save native hunters; MT. Meares, the companion of the unhappy Lieutenant Brooke who a few years ago was murdered in Lololand. claims to have been the first white man to shoot a specimen; Captain Malcolm McNeill, D. s. O., has successfully stalked them near Tashien-Lu in west ern Sezchuen; Dr. J. A. c. Smith, our companion, killed one this year in Shensi-but otherwise no European, so far as know. has been successful in obtaining them. Reaching Sianfu, the Kenzan-fu of Marco Polo, then, as now. the capital of the province of Shensi, we were compelled to remain pending further travelling arrange ments. We made for a little village among the hills, four days journey to the south in the shadow of'the Great White mountain, writes Frank Wal lace in Country Life. The way was pleasant, leading through green rice fields and over clear-running streams which ran on beds of gritty sand.
 The heat was very trying, and we panted for the hills. On the fourth day we passed, by the rocky medium of river-bed, among the foothills. Mist and cloud covered the tops, which looked bad hunting ground on account of dense bush The foothills run to 5000 feet and more above the river, their summits, thick with wild flowers and luxuriant grasses, reaching waist high, being over 5000 feet. The low er slopes are thickly cultivated. blotch- cd, scared, marred and torn as far as the eye can see. My sympathies are with the toiIing peasant, but abominate his handiwork. These foot hills are fine hunting ground for roe (Capreolus Bedfordii) in the winter. but too densely covered with under growth in the summer. We toiled about them in blazing sun for two whose days with no success, though

cious grasses and beautiful wild flow
 CTS grew in profusiQp in the glades,
 and once we came on large bed of
 delicious wild strawberries, some
 nearly as large as a small homegrown
 specimen. We stood awhile on a pin
 nacle of rock overhanging a pass be-
 low. Yong, the old hunter, gave a pc
 culiar cry, echoed and tossed back
 from the surrounding cliffs. He said
 the game, if they had heard our ap-
 proach, would stand and listen, but at
 the cry would at once move off up hill.
 On looking over a peak, was sur
 prised to see a bull and two COWS ly- ing within 20 yards of me totally up conscious of danger. Another, and big ger bull was out of sight, tucked away
 beneath an overhaDging rock lower down the slope We had previously drawn for the first shot, which George had won. George had gone after the big fellow.
 cautiously thrust my rife over the rock, took a fine sight at the bulls neck and waited. It seemed an age, but at last Georges shot rang out, and before he could get to his feet my bull was dead. I heard a crash from below; the two COWS dashed past me, and as they did so I had second shot We badly wanted meat, so somewhat reluctantly, then fired at one of the youngsters, and incidentally made some very bad shooting.
 Yong seized my arm as another. ami nal bolted below us Thinking it was the COW had already fired at, which thought was dead, had a shot and ap- parently missed, but the beast car ried on. tried again and as he bIun- dered oyer the rock. had the satis- faction of seeing him fall. George appearing below me, I joined him. He had killed a big bull with shot in the brain It had pitched straight over the ledge on which 1t lay, and lodged in the center of the stone shoot. Unfortunately, one horn was broken While he told me this a COW suddenly shot into the air as though propelled through stage trap door within a few yards of us. This, thought, must surely be my COW which had as many lives as a cat! gasped. the doctor yelled, and George, in only his rope sandals, dashed round the corner in pursuit. Very shortly heard a shot. George came clambering back, and we compared notes. He had got the big bull and the COW which he had just shot. The latter had pitch ed a good 1,5O0 feet over rocks, trees and shoots, and was subsequently dis covered by the indefatigable doctor smashed to a pulp. I had one bull, | and the animal which, as I thought, had been wounded by my second shot, had afterwards, on reviving, been killed. Yong, however, who had been | indulging in some mysterious maneu- Vers on his own account, came up i shortly afterwards and said he had ! found the COW lying beside Georges bull in the shoot The other beast | turned out to be a bull with a slight | ly better head than my first.
 Thus ended a somewhat exciting five | minutes, in which we secured speci- mems of a very rare animal Thick | mist came on again almost immediate ly and lasted during the whole week. On the 18th l left the cave, as I had work to do in the valley below. George remained until the 18th, and the weather clearing, killed another COW after some terrible hard work in thick bamboos, whither he followed a herd.

 George killed female for food. Here we stayed for some days, arranging matters with the local hunters. We engaged two-Yong, whose heart, as .he Chinese say, was not in the cen ter, but the best panyang hunter for miles, and Lou-loo, an inveterate slack CT. with a shy smile and magnificent calf development
 The takin, in many respects, is closely allied to the OK tribe, which, n a wild state, are notoriously vindict- I've. Our hunters being secured. we Ttarted on August 1, and on the morn Ing of the 2d reached our. temporary quarters.
 The cave faced the south, and was partially sheltered to the east by an pverhanging rock From this direction fortunately came the prevailing wind. Had it been otherwise we should have been damper, if such thing were pos gible. even than we were. I do not think I ever experienced a wetter or more uncomfortable ten days. We were wet when We rose from our soak ing beds. wet when we sought them after soaking day.
 On August a strong wind sent masses of mist and cloud boiling and swirling about vast chasms and gull Iies. Hope revived. and we set out. Our way wound about groves of rhodo- dendron and azaleas. mingled with Etuntsd larches and spruce fra I.us-

UNITED GERMANY
HONOR ACCORDED AUTHOR OF
 %DIE WAcHT AM RHEIN."
Town of TuttIIngen, Birthplace of Max sehneckenburger, Is Preparing to Erect Monument to Its Fa-
 nous Citizen.

Neidingen, Gutmadingen, Geisingen,
 all these are passed before reaching
 our first camp. But of these Tuttlin-
 gen is our darling. We have not
 passed a village that could have made
 us happy for many days; each with
 It's ruined castles, its medieval tower, It's steep gables, it's colored tiles,
 cheery peasants; but, writes Poultney
 Bigelow in From the Black Forest
 to the Black Sea-" all this, and more,
 too, is united in Tuttlingen. This lit-
 tie town also has it's feudal castle, its
 ruined battlements, it's legends, and
 It's quaint gables; but 1t has more
 than this-it has the proud distinc-
 tion of having educated the poet who
 made United Germany. The war-song
 that has made all Germans merge
 their local differences in one great purpose-the common fatherland; that united Bavarians and Prussians, Saxons and Wurtemburgers, ins 1870; that brought victory over the French, and an imperial crown to the house of Hohenzollern-that song is "Die
 Wacht.am Rhein," written at the age of twenty-one, by a lad whose school ing was obtained in Tuttlingen. It is needless to say that his name is Max Schneckenburger.
 The people of Tuttlingen are now raising the money needed to place here a worthy monument to the man who has made their town famous. They have placed a square pedestal upon the bank of the stream as @ mute invitation to help on the noble work. Of course, we brought our mite from across the Atlantic, and promised to stir our friends up also. In Tuttlingen Is a committee of the leading citizens, who are prepared to receive and acknowledge contribu- tons.
 Little is known of Schneckenburger He died in 1s49, when only thirty years of age. His father blackened boots and lifted trunks in a village tavern near Tuttlingen, but was ob- viously of superior character. for he eventually became a small merchant and married well. Max was. too, poor; DuI III 1uIllluSSA u0 was tuOHOuSA4y schooled and then sent to Switzer- land, where the post of errand boy was given him in grocery store. His short life was one of hard work and small earnings, far from his be- loved fatherland. and seeing of the world only what appeared in the course of trips made as a commercial traveller. His widow assures us that a day never passed that Schnecken- burger did not kneel in prayer for his and his motto, chosen at the age of fifteen, was this word alone, "Deutsch." In 1840 he wrote Die Yacht am Rhein" as an indig- nant protest against the French pre- tentions of that time, but the battles of Gravelotte and Sedan had been fought before his country was made to know the source of their inspira- ton. Schneckenburger is another of the many names that humanity loves to honor. but which, alas! humanity discovers long after its honor has ceased to be of any material conse- 1uence.

say; you will have to ask him. When
 say this I have in mind the follow
 ing case that was brought to my no
 tice: A young cub, only few weeks
 old. was caught one spring and fed on
 milk. He was kept in camp until the
 following fall when they moved camp
 down on some bottom lands. Here.
 while running about, he would sud-
 denly stop, dig up some roots and de-
 your them with relish. He seemed
 to be as fully prepared to forage for
 himself as if he had been taking les
 sons from his mother all summer.
 Another much mistaken idea about
 the black bear is that he emerges
 from his winter quarters very thin
 and emaciated (this so far, Is true);
 that he is desperately hungry after
 his long fast; or is terribly ferocious.
 sight, man included. This is not so.
 although I have often heard it so
 stated. Not even black bear with
 his enviable digestive apparatus can
 or does indulge in hearty meal after
 so long fast. The organs of bear are no different from those of man in this respect, and after their long disuse are only capable of assimilat- ing the daintiest morsels of food such as grass shoots, tender roots and their like. In fact, at first they show little or no desire to eat, but after a few days they commence to partake again of pretty much everything. I say this because bear is omnivorous, which means that he eats quite gener- ally verything-both vegetables and meat. They are not as carnivorous as generally supposed, usually being con- tented with such small animals as ground squirrels and field mice, but still, when the opportunity offers. they have a great propensity for stealing down ever so carefully to a nearby farm and carrying of a fat little shoat They, too, have a great weak ness for sheep, and 1t Is hardly neces- sary for me to mention honey and sweets, for here we see him again like a good-natured, mischievous boy. The various insects form long list of goodies for them, and they spend much of their time overturning stones, prying open old stumps and logs, polk ing their nose and snifing at every tiny hole or crevice for such dainty morsels as grubs, caterpillars, crickets, and ants. The black bear seems to partake of such variety of food that it is hard to say just which he enjoys the most Ants are one of his favorite dishes, and I have no doubt that they consume as many of these as some of. the ant-eaters of South America. One of their favorite | methods of catching a certain species | of ants. which are very vicious little | fighters. Is to thrust a paw In the | midst of one of their hills. and as they swarm over the bears paw with | the purpose of attacking their enemy, | they are quickly Tapped up.
 But what greater picture of content ment can one imagine than bear in a good-sized blueberry patch? Sitting half up on his launches and pulling the branches towards him with his shoveling in the berries that help fatten him up for the long are indeed great berry eaters and will often travel miles to locate a patch, and then will patronize It long and often.

low-growing tree and the bears are often given to summing themselves ID these trees.
 The black bear prefers his meat well tainted, and. in fact. do not be- lieve it can be too strong for him.
 Unlike the grizzly he does not cover over or bury Q carcass. but this again is only characteristic of him, for he does not feed. or in fact do anything as systematically or as seriously aS the grizzly-much preferring a little mischief to work, and here again we see him the happy-go-lucky fellow. cannot take space to mention all the fancies of his appetite, but this gives very good general idea of his diet I must not omit to say, however. he is something of fisherman, both for game and for sport, and with a quick stroke of his paw, sends many an unsuspecting fish hurtling through the air to land well up on the bank, where he can once more please his palate
 have often heard of seven hundred pound black bears; there are none. Be tween four and five hundred pounds are as heavy as they will ever tip the scales. Bears are very rarely weighed by hunters, and the estimates given of their weight are very often much in excess, but, of course, not always purposely so. Broadly speaking, would say that the average weight of the average black bear, taking them as you happen to find them, would be approximately one hundred and fifty
 <.f f..Il grown bears, as one is likely to kill several partly-grown bears to one full grown. A full-grown bear in the spring may weigh but little over two hun dred, and the same bear in the fall might easily be close to a four hun dred pounder..
 How many of us have gone into the woods in our early hunting days and looked around wondering which would really be the safest tree to shin up in case an old black bear should have designs on us. Now that little sapling over there looks good. They say a slim tree with no branches is the best to nest in on an occasion like this. But for those who do not already know, we will settle that ques- tion right here It does not matter in the least what tree you select, wheth- CT 1t is one some two or three feet in diameter, or just that little sapling; 1t is safe to say if you can get up, so can the bear. But this is the point; he won't come No black bear, when given such a fine opportunity to get away, will stick around. Their claws, which are very unlike those of the grizzly, are especially adapted for climbing, while the front paws of a grizzly are especially adapted for dig ging, being long, and from four to six inches in length, and nearly straight Grizzlies do not and cannot climb trees. On the other hand, the black bears claws are shorter, more curved, and thicker at the base, which enables them to go up a huge tree very much as cat or squirrel would, and also a slim one just large enough to sus- tain their weight
 In conclusion would say that I do not prentend to know all about black bears-no one man can; but I have found them sufficiently interesting to have taken a great deal of pleasure in devoting a long study to them, and have here set down only what know to be facts.
