HEAIR TALEB
BEARS WHO CHANGED PLACES.
LMkEY GRAHAM BONNER


Once Man went to a small town"
said Daddy, with two Bears who did
tricks and performed around tho
streets. The Man would sing songs
In a queer sort OF voice and in a
queer sort Of language. but at the end
he would always say:
Moneys for the fine tricks of my
Baars! He always said Ba'ars in
stead Of Bears, and he said it with a
long drawl as IL 1t were a great, long,
long word. Then he would pass around
a hat and the People who had stopped
to watch him would throw in pennies,
nickels and dimes. For he always
would add, Throw in your pennies,
nickels and dimes
One day a little Girl said, How
about ten cents?' But the man didn't
know what ten cents meant-he had
only heard them called dimes, and in
the country he came from they had
quite different name altogether.
AT any rate he stayed in this town
for quite a few days and made a good
deal of money for his Bears did very
fine tricks and the People enjoyed a
change.
You must admit, you know, that
Bears are not as common to see as
Cats for instance."
Both Nick and Nancy laughed at this
for they had never seen Bears perform
in the streets. They had only seen
them in the zoo and at the circus. And
of course they saw Cats all the time!

ing his tricks every day. His Master
was kind and he gave him plenty of
food. And he got better food than
ever on the days he did his tricks
best. OF course you can understand
that, for on such days the Man got
more money and he liked to give his
Bears nice things to eat.
But the other Bear hated walking
around small towns. He thought they
were very stupid and dull, and Peo-
pie didn't interest him at all.
He always got rather mad that he
had to climb Pole. II he had been
asked to climb at all, he thought, they

POSTMASTER SAYS

Florida Man Says His Wife Suffered
for TX or Eight Years and That
Tanlac Is Only Thing That Helped
Her

Nearly everybody in and around
Jacksonville knows Paul Palmer, for
thirty years postmaster at Philips,
Fla, just a mile and a half beyond
South Jacksonville, and for forty
years in the mercantile business at
that place. Mr.. Palmer numbers his
friends literally by the thousands
and he is one of the well-to-do and
substantial citizens of that section
Yes, this Tanlac certainly has
done my wife a wonderful amount of
good and we are, mighty well
pleased over it, for she had been sick
so long that | just felt like nothing
on earth would ever help her. She
has suffered with stomach trouble for
six or eight years and has had a
good many doctors to treat her, but
nothing seemed to help her or do her
any good until l got her some Tan
lac. Z"
She had mighty bad headaches
all the time and she could hardly
eat anything that wouldn't give her
a great deal of pain and misery af-
forwards. Her stomach would swell
with sour gas and make her feel dull
and heavy, and sometimes she'd get
dizzy and find it hard to breathe. She
ha little appetite at times, but
never could manage to get any
strength or nourishment from her

should give him a good big Tree to
climb. And how he did hate to dance
on his hind legs.
After the Man had gone to sleep
and the Bears were supposed to be
asleep too, they would talk over the
days work. They had to whisper very,
very gently, for if they really talked
1t would wake up the whole country
around.
Well he said, the idea of making
me dance! l hate to dance. And the
idea of standing up on my hind legs
when / have four perfectly beautiful
legs to stand on. Would Folks like
to see a two-legged Bear-not at all
then why, oh why do they like to
see me stand on my hind legs?
Its a trick said the other Bear.
well, l hate tricks and want to
see the World. Little Towns don't
amount to anything. want to see
the wild places-the Woods-to get
back to some of my good old Friends
to go hunting-to be free
mo one is making you stay said
the other Bear Why don't you leave
tonight, and when you go back to our
old home in the big Woods tell old
Bobby Brown Bear to come and join
me. He has always been anxious to
see the Towns and have the People
admire him.
Ives, he's so conceited. Well, any
way he'll be doing me favor. So
good-by. Say good-by to our old Man
fer me and tell him I'll send Bobby

Lotteries are against the law in the
United States. They were prohibited
by law in New York and Massachu-
sets in 1888 and in most of the other
states in the next two decades. The
Louisiana lottery was abolished in
1890, and the same year the United
States congress made lottery adver-
tisements and registered letters for
lotteries in the mails illegal; in 1894
congress prohibited the importation of
lottery tickets or advertisements into

Specifications for Sheet Asphalt

In response to inquiries regarding
the material to be used for surfacing
the COOL roads under the proposed
bond issue in Polk county, the follow
ing information is taken from the
specifications on which the Contrac-
tors bids are based.
"Wear Surface"
Upon the foundation, or binder
course where called for in the pro-
posal and as previously specified, and
after being thoroughly cleansed OF all
foreign matter, shall be laid the sur
face course or wearing surface. This
shall be prepared with materials as
hereinafter specified. 1t shall be
hauled to the work in wagons covered
with canvas or other suitable cover
ings. 1t shall leave the plant at a
temperature of between $50 degrees
and 1876 degrees Fahrenheit, as direct
ed by the engineers, and shall be at
a temperature of not less than $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit when delivered on
the work. Should portable machine
be used, and in the judgment of the
Engineers the same is close enough
to the work, it may be hauled in push
carts or horse carts. Upon arriving
it shall be dumped upon large dump
ing boards at such a distance from
the work that all of the mixture must
be turned and distributed to the
place where 1t is to be raked. 1t shall
be spread while hot to such a depth
on the binder course or the founda-
ton, which must be thoroughly dry,
free from leaves and other foreign
matter, that after receiving it's ulti-
mate compression by rolling, it shall
have thickness of not ess than that
called for in the proposal The init
ial compression may be effected by
means of small roller, after which
a small amount of mineral dust shall
be spread over the surface. The fl
