The Black Bear.

1t Is the common idea that black
bear will hug people to death. This is.
of course, mistake. A bear almost In
variably makes its attack by striking q
stunning blow with the fore paw and
tearing with his very formidable claws.
A large black bear can strike terrific
biIw and is capable of knocking down
and moltally wounding a full grown
caribou. When their enemy or prey is
felled TO the ground they usually bite
them about the head and neck until
death ensues. They are remarkable for
the strength of their jaws and have
been known to bite through the skull
of man. Many animals that can gen.
orally be counted on not to attack may
do so when come upon suddenly.

black bear is no exception. The more
see and study animals the more ! am
impressed with the fact that there Is
no fixed rule what the same species of
animal will do under similar circum-
stances. as they seem to vary as much
In mind and temperament as the indi-
vidual. Although one might predict
with a very good average Of correct

WILL OBSERVE
MOTHERS DAY.
Emblem Of the Day, May Sih, Write
Carnation Which Should be
Worn by ALL

Mothers Day is Sunday, May 9th,
and plans should be made for its OBJ
seryance. The slogan adopted Inc
Best Mother Who Ever Lived" and
the emblem is white carnation.
On May 10, 1913, a special resolu-
ton was passed by the United States
congress and senate recommending
the observance of Mothers Day. It's
object is an international and stimuli
,aneous observance of the well being
and honor of the home 1t is TO be
observed with some distinct act of
kindness, visit, better, gift or tribute
showing the remembrance of the
mother and father of the home to
whom much affection is due. Moth
er's Day is just as truly Fathers Day
and is designed to strengthen the
family ties
In many places the schools observe
the day, and appropriate sermons are
preached in the churches.
An international organization has
been formed to promote and encour-
age the observation of Mothers Day
in all civilized countries. In the
United States Ex-presidents Roose-
velt and Taft and President Wilson
are honorary national officers of the
association.

the addresses were very instructive

is always very keen. A team of from
eight to twelve men will be taken to

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

Mrs. J. A. Jones met with an I'M
fortunate and serious accident on
Saturday morning. While standing
on step-ladder arranging some cur
tains, the ladder collapsed and Mrs.

her right arm. One break was at

Defamation"

A popular error which recurs with
unvarying regularity whenever mill
tary engagements are reported is the
use OF the word "decimated' 20 imply
a crushing defeat or something ap-
preaching humiliation. Yet. as mo
ment's consideration of the real mean
ing OF the word suffices to show. the
word is so used quite enormously.
"Decimation" means the destruction of
one-tenth part Of the force involved,
and the loss OF one in ten. though suf-
flciently serious. certainly does not
mean anything like that wholesale de
struction usually meant when "deci-
nation" is talked of. Losses of one in
three or one in four have been sustain
ed by forces which still maintained
their cohesion and diScipline.-West-

A Chinese Proverbs Origin.

He'll steal your shoes" is an expires.
sion which in China is used to describe
an arrant knave'and pilferer. The ex.
preston is hundreds of years old. A
wealthy Chinaman, whose gorgeously
embroidered shoes were the envy OF
the community, was, according TO the
legend, despoiled of his pride in the
following manner: A rascal one day
rushed up, gave the rich man hearty
blow on the back and, Selling the as
tonished gentleman's hat, pitched it
upon a high wall. The next moment
the fellow seemed TO discover that 1t
was not an old friend he was greeting
so enthusiastically and apologized pro
fusely.
"How shall ! get my hat?' inquired
the man with the beautiful shoes.
Jump on my back, and you can
reach it." replied the schemer.
The suggestion was carried ont, but
while the hatless man was reaching
for his head covering the rascal slipped
off the handsome shoes and made away,
leaving the simple minded millionaire

Waters of the Nile.

The waters OF the upper Nile start to
rise about June 10, reaching the great
est height at the autumnal equinox,
and then gradually subsiding until the
following April. That the Nile should
thus save the country from total bar
renness and make 1t one of the most
fertile lands of the earth is reason suf-
ticient for the bestowal on the mighty
stream of the name of the most molly
river" and that the good Mussuimans
of Egypt should believe that 1t has its
source in paradise. In ancient times
the river had its appointed priests. fes-
tivals and sacrifices. and IL its rising
were delayed single day they took
the most beautiful girl they could lind,
dressed her richly and drowned her in
the waters as a sacrifice to turn away
the wrath of the river god and merit
his favor. The quality of the Nile wa
ter has been highly extolled. Some
have said that it is to other waters
what champagne is among wines. The
priest of Apis would not give it to the
sacred bull lest he should become too
fat
