BEARs ATE s0LDIERs' PIES
Msscots Made Raid on compsny's
Dessert and RIGHT Of Way Was
Not Disputed by Guards.

Pies, big deep ones, made from APP
pies, were on the noon mess menu Of
u Company, Forty-frst infantry, the
other day, says the st. Paul Pioneer,
but members Of the company whose
tastes run to after-dinner sweets had
to patronize the candy stands at Fort
Smelling to pacify their appetites
for dessert.
IL all happened because two
f'teeny, weeny" bears, unlike those
in the ~Red Riding Hood" fable,
who craved porridge only, discovered
that apple pies make fairly good
luncheons even for bears
A delivery man from a local
bakery had just deposited 80 luscious
pies on a table outside the company
kitchen, when two baby bears, which
Carlos Avery, state game and fish
commissioner, lent the regiment for
mascots, escaped from their box cage
and started to roam beyond its pre-
cincts in search of food, fun and
frolic.
Two rockies on kitchen police
started to bring in the pies when the
young bruins had convinced them
selves that pastry is edible. The rock
les didn't dispute the right of way or
wait to set up prior rights of their
comrades. They fled down the street,
leaving the bears in undisturbed pos
session.
Those pies which they had not
consumed were mauled and wrecked
beyond redemption.

SOME PREVIOUS LONG WARS
England Fought France From 1889 to
f471-Wars OF the Roses Con-
tinued Thirty Years.

Three years of war seems a long
tine to most Of us, but few of the big
wars of history have been settled in
anything like so short period, OBJ
serves the London Tit-Bits. The
Peioponnesian war, which in many
respects was similar to the present
campaign, went on for over twenty
years; as did the French Reyolu-
tionary and Napoleonic campaigns.
The American War of Independence
lasted eight years, the War Of Sue
cession IL years and the Elizabethan
war with Spain 16 years.
The longest period at which this
country was at war at one time was
from 1889 to 1471, when we fought
France almost continuously; while
the Wars of the Roses dragged on for
nearly 30 years. But events Move
more quickly in these days, and it ID
inconceivsble to suppose that the
present struggle can continue fol-
anything like so long as did thes,
campaigns. In former times sew
eral decades elapsed before the more
glazing effects of war disappeared
but it is probable that the work Of
reconstruction will be SO rapid TO-DAY
that within a few years after thu
signing Of peace the war-stainet
cities and fields Of France will be re
stored to something approaching
their former appearance.
