that q bear In any less cultured and
psychological environment would not
have shown this bears proficiency.
His name was Bitten, and, though but
a cub, he learned to wheel a baby car
riage and to amuse and soothe the
small occupant when it cried. The
baby-likewise the bear-belonged to
the Rev. DR.. Chauncey j.. Hawkins of
Jamaica Plain, which is one OF Bos-
tons most cultured suburbs.
Bitten was making an ideal nurse
girl, and all would have gone well
had not the matter got into the news
papers. Then the nursegirls all owe
the land arose in arms. said the thing
violated union rules and wrote so
many indignant letters to DR.. Haw-
kins that he decided to send Bitten to
the zoo and hire a human servant to
take care Of his baby in future. 1t is
on record that the youngster-the baby,
not the b%ear-cried Justify when the
separation came.
1t is probable that no bear outside Of
B~oston's intellectual circle will ever
develop into a n%ursemaid. but If one
should do so it might learn wisdom by
union card before seeking a Job.

1t is said that the Bull Moosers of
North Dakota will have n full state and
congressional ticket in the field two
years hence, and will also have full
county tickets in every county.
They say they are going to fight
all along the line and to continue
to worship Roosevelt as their idol,
no matter what may come. The
Roosevelt worship will however have to
be given up before that time as he is
losing ground very fast. He could not
poll half OF the number OF votes in this
state now that he did IN November.

A Bear Turns Nurse.

The bear Is n remarkable animal,
and this applies to all the bruin family
from the Wall street variety to the
proverbial bear with q sore head The
public has been so interested in the
animal, however. hat bear psychology
has been neglected. The organ grind
ers have shown us that bruin could
be taught to dance and do other stunts,
but 1t remained for Boston to reveal
new bear possibilities.
1t may DO that the Boston atmos,
phere had something to do with 1t and

To Whom Should We Give?

Whether one should remember only
the members Of his immediate family
In the matter Of Christmas presents
or should give to oil his friends and to
every one from whom he has ever re-
ceived a gift or expects n is just
now a knotty problem to most people.
The Spugs-Society For the Prevention
of Useless Giving-have already been
referred to In the public prints. How
ever worthy the motives Of this or
ganization launched by Mrs: Belmont,
Its influence will necessarily prove
rather restricted and local at present.
The problem faced by the average
mar and woman cannot wait for the
spread Of any association or for the
general education Of the public. Each
individual must take the question in
hand for himself.
Perhaps the only feasible way is for
a few brave souls in each community
to end the scnscless and burdensome
practice of giving a lot Of presents to
everybody, and in a year or two the
others may follow suit. There is prac-
tically universal agreement that the
custom should be ended. the only trou-
BILE being that nobody wants to break
the Ice. In a case Of this kind volun-
teers aresneedcd. People who have
the courageAof their convictions should
take n stand\an should take 1t this
year; then it will not be so hard for
themselves andAothers to take it next
year.
The indiscriminate giving of Christ
mas presents robs the>d day of much Of
its, charm. Usually the gifts are not
welcomed by the recipient, for they
place him under obligations to make q
return. Thus they are a nuisance all
around.
Christmas is the children's day, and
presents should be given to the little
ones and to those near and deaE.
