SHOT PRoWLiNG BEAR.

Mary Smith, brave girl, Of Glen
spey, n. Y, will have a fine bearskin
coat made from bear of her own
killing. Bruin had been stealing
corn from her fathers corn field for
some time and she vowed that she
would get him. So, armed with a
rifle and an electric flash light, she
lay in wait for him at night When
ne appeared on the scene she flashed
the light on him, and taking careful
aim she fired and the robber dropped
dead. And yet if you read in books
OF fiction about girls doing such
things you would say they couldn't
be so.

thac he would be reported on the road
to wealth, and smiled whimsically over
the idea.
1t was after he had reached the
Worthington apartments that he made

She was only sorrowful. The ques-

Merton purchased ten new one hun

through his association with the late
Professor Romanes during the lat
ter's efforts to get some new light
on the mental equipment of apes.
They succeeded in teaching one of
Mansbridge's charges to count up to
five, without the use of any trick
sign. They also educated the same
animal so that she could tell the
difference between white and any
other color, but beyond this distinc-

Mansbridge himself taught his apes
many simple tricks. One of the
most striking OF these was the feed
ing of one orang by another. AL
though these animals are very greedy.
one of them, when handed a cup of
milk and spoon, and told to feed
hls sister, would do so until the
keeper gave him permission to help
himself. Mansbridge was unusually
successful in handling his monkeys,
and could do very much as he liked
with the younger ones. He believed.
however, that as they grew older
their nature changed and they be-
came treacherous and dangerous. He
had comparatively little control of
his grown-up apes, and admitted his
fear of the two large orangs in the
zoo.
