TAKES BEAR IN BATHING
Maid in silk Bathing Suit, When
X Dared to Take Bruin Along,
:@.. Promptly Does So. Il.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Miss Anna Fred
ericks, a comely beach girl, went
swimming through the breakers at
Venice accompanied by half.grown
cinnamon bear. ! -
Miss Fredericks was one of the thou
sands of bathers along the ocean front.
She was clad in an attractive silk
bathing suit and was accompanied by
several friends, when R. l. Pierce Of
Pasadena strolled by, leading two half
grown cinnamon bears, which he Sc
cured in Northern California when the
bears were only few. weeks old.
Il dare you to take one Of the bears
in swimming" said friend to Miss
Fredericks.
The young woman took the dare.
Her escort, after futile attempts at
discussion, secured one Of the bears
The little animal was quite tame and
t7otted down o4the surf line with Miss
Fredericks.
Thousands of beach visitors
thronged the water front to watch the
novel performance. At first the little
bear snorted and fused as the. spray
splashed over his nose, but finally,
with q little grlnt. he ducked into the
breakers and followed the leash which
Miss Fredericks carried.

course through this chasm for upward
of thirty miles before it energies into
another valley at State Bridge, three
thousand feet lower than where it en-.
tered the canon.
The trout fishing is along the upper
half of the canon, which is traversed
by a narrow gauge railroad. The low
er half Of the canon is impossible.
Only three men ever made the trip
through it. They were government
engineers who were accommodating
for location for the Gunnison tunnel
to irrigate the Uncompahgre Valley.
Their strong raft was wrecked their
instruments and clothing were lost
} and they were rescued in n=exhaust-
ed condition.
Below the canon so much alkali and
soil are discharged into the stream
by the irrigating bitches that trout
cannot live in it, but suckers flourish
there, often attaining a length of from
eighteen to twenty inches. During
the latter part of May the suckers
go up the small tributaries to spawn.
After spawning they return in schools,
tail first, to the river. These small
streams are rocky and swift and If
the fish did not slacken speed by
swimming against the current they
might be bruised against the rocks.
In the pools where the water was
two or three feet deep the fish were
so numerous that it was no uncom-
mon occurrence to throw out three
and four fish with each thrust Of the
fork. The fish were weak and slug
gish after spawning and did not make
much effort to get out of the way. The
old woman brought out two washing
tubs, washboiler and a large dish
pan, all Of which were filled within
half an hour with fish from twelve to
eighteen inches in length, which she
skinned and sailed down for future
use. She lamented that the fish were
"a-gettin' skeercer every year."

Colombo, Ceylon.-Apart from its
Importance as the chief city of Cey-

1t still remains in his recollection as
essentially typical of the Tropics. =.
One day early in November had
my first view of Colombo, and beheld
the low promontory, which Ptolemy
the geographer marked on his map in
the second century A. D. as .*Jovis Elk
tremum." I thought on this, by first
day in Colombo, as I stood in the
streets-streets as busy as Cheapside
at one o'clock-that it might we'll be

for the fact that nearly everyone goes

amount of noise. The heat and the
extreme humidity at first press hard
upon the stranger, and battling en-
velope Of lassitude seemed trying all
the while to clog and hamper every
movement of body or of limb.
Two-wheeled bullock-carts innumer-
able passed along at a leisurely pace,
many of them loaded with tea-chests
and some with plantains or other
fruit. The bullocks were little crea-
lures for the most part, sometimes
black and sometimes fawn or a red
dish brown, and the wooden yokes
that lay across their necks were
heavily fashioned. A thatch of palm.

tramways echoed the modernity Of
shops and office buildings, but the old
order jostled with the new. A herd of
water buffaloes obstructed the tram
lines; on the steps of the pretentious
general postoffice native letter-writers,
under wide umbrellas, scrubbed mis-
sives for their clients, and at every
street corner squatted the sellers Of
betel, generally women.

palace added to the misery of the
young empress. She noticed that the
car was angry at her because she
was "endeavoring to introduce in Rus
STA western reforms and that she con-
sidered herself more intelligent than
the entire household in the palace"
In the meantime storms of unrest
had broken out in the land, and or
ders were given to pacify the discon-
tented at all cost. The empress did
not know of the horrors that were per-
petrated in Russia, and when she
learned of them she consoled herself
In the thought that all the cruelties
directed against the Russian people
were not committed by order of the
car. She believed that the car, like
herself, was ignorant of what was CO.
ing on in the land.
But she soon found out her error.
Then her suffering grew ever more in
tense. She looked with disgust upon
the clique surrounding her, upon their
hypocrit1cal smiles. and greetings, but
she was unable to change anything
even In the palace. It was then that
she became seriously Ill.
When the empress had recovered
she divided her time between her chill
dren and her desk. She turned once
more to the reading of books and also
devoted considerable time to writing.
Nevertheless the feeling that she was
alone and misunderstood in the palace
weighed heavily upon her. She grew
ever more and more melancholy.
One day, after having worked for
some time upon the tragedy she was
writing, the empress entered the
cars study. She found him seated at
his desk looking over numerous docu,
ments. He frightened up when she
entered and he kissed her hands.
why are you so sad?" she asked.
Il am thinking of the future of our
children" he replied.
The empress looked at him sur
prised.
I do not understand" she began,
looking into his troubled eyes.
"A plot mas Just been unearthed.' -
he said cheerfully, yet with a shade Of
confusion.
ooh, know about it.
mo, I mean another plot-a new
one. They have just learned of It to-
day" And shaking his head he
added:
do you understand now?"
And he described to her in detail
the conspiracy of the terrorists
against his life. They became more
sad than before. The shadow of dan
ger was still lowering over their
heads.
They endeavored to calm each 9th.

the center of the room perplexed.
When the servant entered the car

empress had tainted. She was taken
to her room and remained for a long
time under the care of her physicians.
The car neglected all important af-
fairs of state when the empress was
ill. In the evening the minister of
the interior arrived at the palace with
an important report. When he was
ushered into the cars study the
car shouted at him nervously:
For Gods sake leave me alone!
The empress is i'll! Do whatever you
like! It is all the same to me-
When the minister of the interior
offered few words of consolation the
car interrupted him:
II know you! / know everything!

hand. b..
The minister of the interior walked
out of the cars study confused and
Inundated.
And the minister of the interior
heard the car shouting to himself:
Monarchy, constitution, anarchy.
Even my nearest are against me-"
The health Of the empress was shat
tered and for long time. she was SUI
fering from a nervous breakdown.
During that illness various rumors
were spreading in the palace. 1t was
said that the czarina was planning to
leave the palace and return to her ma
tive land. It was. then also rumored
that she wanted the car to abdicate
and leave Russia. But all knew that.
she rebuked the car for his lack OF
will power and determination.

London.-Two hundred years ago
TO be more exact, in August, 1712-
Jones Hanway was born in PORTSMOUTH,,
England.
Do you know who Jonas Hanway
was?
In the encyclopedias he is classed as
philanthropist and traveller, and he
was both of these. Having been ap-
prenticed to a merchant in Lisbon, he
became interested in trade with the
east and journeyed through Persia, en-
during many hardships, after which
he spent five years in st. Petersburg.
In the way Of philanthropy he was &C.
tive In the help of foundlings, fallen
women, the poor and prisoners. But
the one thing he did that makes his
fame everlasting was to introduce the
use of the umbrella to England and
Europe generally.
The umbrella for centuries untold
had been used in one form or another
10y the people of the far east, and Han
way in his travels became warm ad-
7ocate of that shelter from the rain
and the sun. After he had retired
from business to London he had made
for himself an umbrella not differing
materially from those of today. One
rainy day, when those who were so
unfortunate as to be compelled to go
out in the streets, were hurrying mis-
erably along bedraggled and dripping,
out stepped Jonas Hanway, opened his
contraption, and strolled leisurely
along Fleet street, dry as bone and
happy. At least he would have been
happy If his umbrella had warded off
ridicule as it did rain. For his ap>
pearance created almost a riot. For
getting the downpour, men, women
and children first stared, then hooted
and at last gathered in a mob that fol-
lowed the bold merchant along the
street, laughing and jeering. Doors
were thrown open and windows were
flung up and it seemed as if the en-
tire population of that part Of London
came out to make fun of Jonas and
his umbrella.
The Britisher was conservative by
nature, then as now, and this especial
Innovation did not please him. For
centuries he had got wet when it
rained, and why should he now change
and keep dry? So Jonas retired to
his house somewhat discounted. But
he was persistent, so on the next
rainy day he reappeared with his UNI
brella. Once more the jeers and
laughter. Once more the trailing,
dripping crowd. This time Jonas ex-
tended his walk and staid out as long
as he wished, and growing more con-

er, but somehow their words were I'M
certain.
THANK God, it is all over now,'
said the empress, heaving deep sigh
Il had terrible presentiment during
the last few days. Wherever 1 went
l could not rid myself of the terrible
thoughts that haunted me-"
Really. Do you know" answered
the car, II also felt i'll, feverish
weak. They keep me in a constant
state of terror"
The empress tried to calm him
again. He smiled bitterly and hand.
ed her a document bearing numerous
notes in red ink.
The empress made an effort to ap'
pear calm as she read the document
for she felt that the emperor was
watching her closely.
What wicked people! Savages!'
said the empress as she looked up to
him.
THAT is exactly what is troubling
me-" replied the emperor with a sad,
forced smile. II should not like to
leave to my son a heritage in such q
dreadful state!
do not speak of this, do not speak
of this!"
The empress advanced to him and
took his hand.
with the help of God all will be
we'll. All will be WE'LL" she repeated.
and you, would you want to re-
main widow" the car suddenly
smiled strangely. His eyes were cold
and moist.
The empress shuddered at these
words. She released, his hand and
looked at him fixedly.
my DEAR" she said in tremulous
voice, II have wanted to speak to you
seriously for some time. This is i'm
possible! Do you understand? This
life we are leading is impossible. You
must do something to change it. You
must decide to do something's"
= The empress voice quivered and
there were tears in her eyes.
For: my sake and four yours, for
the sake of our dear children, do
something! Even if you have to-
even II you have to yield. Do it,"
What can I do?" asked the car.
"Tell me. Do they know what they
want? Some of the people want one
thing, others want another. Don't you
know that yourself?"
"Win you deny that there is a sys-
tenn of provocation and spying in Rus
sia," she demanded.
The empress spoke with firmness
and authority.
There Is an Internal machine In
your hands," she said. "and you look
upon It as a plaything I know that

f1dsnt. he let no wet day pass without
week, month after month, and year
after year this scene was repeated in
the streets of London town. AS time
went on. the people grew accustomed
to seeing the eccentric Jonas and his
umbrella, but it was fully thirty years
before any considerable number of
them could bring themselves to follow
his example.
And now look at them! Wherever
the Englishman is found, there is the
umbrella, as surely as the tea pot and
the marmalade jar. Other nations, too,
were slow to adopt the article, and
for years the British tourist with his
inevitable umbrella was an object of
ridicule. He carried it to all parts
Of the earth, and today in lands
where there is seldom any rain it is
in continual use as sunshade. Mex
leo, South America, the entire South
Pacific, Hindustan, and many another
country are dotted with white umbrel-
las carried by European and native
alike. No one ever saw the baboo Of
India without an umbrella, for it is an
essential part of his English educa-
ton.
The crude and clumsy umbrella that
Hanway carried, Of course has given
place to the neat, close-rolled affair
of today, with silk covering and handle
of beautiful and expensive wood; but
the latter probably does not shed the
rain any more surely than did the
former, and If Jonas had not been so
persistent we might still be without
the blessed umbrella.
SO all honor to the memory of
Jonas Hanway, English traveller and
philanthropist, whose bicentenary has
been forcibly brought to the notice of
the people of his native land by rains
and floods that have made the sum-
mer the worst on record In the tight
little isle. =
