a low-growing tree and the bears are
often given to summing themselves IN
these trees. ss5 Z
The black bear prefers his meat
we'll 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 a carcass, but this again
is only characteristic of him, for he
does not feed, or in fact do anything
as systematically or as seriously a.
the grizzly-much preferring little
mischief to work, and here again We
see him the happy.go-lucky fellow. y
cannot take space to mention all the
fancies of his appetite. but this gives
a very good general idea Of his diet.
/ must not omit to say however, he
is something OF a fisherman, both for
game and for sport, and with quick
stroke Of his paw. sends many an
unsuspecting fish hurting through the
air, to land well up on the bank, whers
he can once more please his palate.
4 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, I
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
pounds. am not speaking OF full
grown bears, as one is likely to kill
several partly-grown bears to one full
grown. A fullgrown bear in the spring
may weigh but little over two hun
dred, and the same bear in the fall
might easily be close to four hum
dred FOUNDER.
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.
ton right here. It does not matter in
the least what tree you select, wheth-
er 1t is one some two or three feet In
diameter, or Just that little sapling;
1t is safe to say II 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 q
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 60 up a huge tree very much
as cat or squirrel would, and also
a slim one just large enough to- sus-
tain their weight. s
In conclusion would say that do
not prentend to know all about black
bears-no one man can; but I have
found them sufficiently interesting to
have taken great deal Of pleasure In
devoting a long study to them, and
have here set down only what know
to be facts.

One OF the first steps the suffragists
are 10 take is the house-to-house can
vassimg in the different precincts.
This will be done so that some inter-
est NAV be awakened in the Hawaiian
women who have up to this time
shown little interest in suffrage. Also
committee is soon to go around the
island of Oahu with the purpose of in
teresting the women in the KoOlau
district.
The women in Honolulu are sure to
vote some time, and they hope that
that sometime will not be very far off.
They are earnest, active suffragists,
not suffragettes. There is a vast diff
ference in the meaning of these two
words, and they are often confused by
the people. The Pankhursts, who
have been in the limelight for some
time and are known as window
smasherS, and who do not hesitate to
assault men, are suffragettes. They
believe in the militant suffrage This
sort of thing does not awaken SYM
pathy but, on the contrary, arouses
antagonism, regardless of the fact that
every great political reform has been
brought about by militant means. The
women of America and the women of
Hawaii are suffragists. They want to
vote because they feel that it is their
right but they havefno desire what
ever TO destroy property or people.
The women are not working for suf-
frage through any selfish motive but
for the upiIftment of the people and
for better and greater Hawaii.

lug was TO adopt a constitution and

The meeting vas opened by the
president. Mrs. - Dowsett, and
prayer was offered by Mrs. Sarah ka'-
ii, the vice president. Though there
are but few foreign-bOrn women here
who are as yet actively interested in
this cause, the constitution and by
laws were read both in English and
in Hawaiian.
The first article of the constitution
says that the suffrage organization
here shall be called the National Wo-
mems Equal Suffrage Association of
Hawaii The Hawaiian women are
anxious to vote and they are ready to
do all they can to gain equal suffrage,
One of the members said yesterday
that up to the present time the native
women have not known just what
steps TO take and therefore have made
no progress but she said that with
Mrs. Dowsett as the president they
feel that the cause will surely ad-
vance. All of the members are anx-
ious TO be active and want to arouse
interest among all of the women in
the city irrespective of nationality.
