GRIZZLY BEAR FROM ASIA
Something Like q Million Years AGO
the Animal Came Here by
Way Of Alaska.

The grizzly bear has been known to
the white race little more than a cen
fury. Lewis and Clark wrote the first
official accounts OF him In 1905, and he
was first discussed publicly In 1914 by
Gov. De Witt Clinton In New York city.
Guthrie's old geography says that he
was named Ursus horribius by Natur-
alist George Ord In 1918. Fossil rec
ords indicate that the grizzly Is OF
Asiatlc origin. lie appears to have
come into America about million
years ago over one of the prehistoric
land bridges that united Alaska and
Asia. Bears and dogs are descendants
from the same parent stock The griz-
ely bear never eats human flesh. Is not
feroclous and fights only In self-de-
Tense. He leads an adventurous life.
Is born explorer and ever has good
wilderness manners--never makes at-
tacks. The numerous cases In which
the grizzly has been made pet and
companion of man, where he was
thoughtfully, intellIgently raised, show
him to be a superior animal dlgnifed.
intelligent, loyal and uniformly good
tempered.
Not grizzly exists In any OF the
four national parks of California, and
that animal once so celebrated In that
state, Is extinct there. He is also ex-
tinct over the greater portion OF the
vast territory which he formerly oc-
cupled. and is verging on extermna-
ton.

Every member of that little group

Mr.. Dunkelberg turned to my aunt,

"Come on, Bart" Uncle Peabody

He paid no attention to our visi-

drove away.
"Wal, I'm surprised at Mr.. Horace

"Wal, amt" said Uncle Peabody.
"OP Grimshaw has got him under his
thumb-that's what's the matter.
You'll find he's up to his ears in debt
to Grlmshaw-probly."
AS we followed him toward the
house, he pushing the wheelbarrow
loaded with sacks Of nuts, he added !:
AT last Grimshaw has found some
thin that he can't buy an he's awful
surprised. Too bad he didn't learn
that lesson long ago"
He stopped his wheelbarrow by the
steps and we sat down together on
the edge of the stoop as he added:
