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

The grizzly bear has been known to
the white race little more than cen
fury. Lewis and Clark wrote the first
official accounts of him in 1908. and he
was first discussed publicly In 1914 by
Gov. De Witt Clinton In New York CITY.
Gnthries old geography says that he
was named Ursus horribilus by Natur-
ollst George Ord In 1915. Fossil rec.
ords indicate that the grizzly IS Of
Asatic origin. He 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-
Fly bear never eats human flesh, is not
ferocious and fights only in self-de-
Tense. He leads an adventurous life.
Is born explorer and ever has good
wilderness mannerS-neyer makes at

the grizzly has been made a pet and
companion of man. where he was
thoughtfully, inteligently raised, show
him TO be a superior animal, dignitied.
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 extermina-

FED HIMSELF TO THE HORSE
Unpleasant Few Minutes for Small
Boy Who Tunbled Down Chute
With the Hay.

One morning. when little Hal Perry
was doing chores in his fathers barn,
/ he met with an accident that placed
/ him in peculiarly helpless position.
| He had made his way to the left loft
| 10 get down fodder for the stock. In
climbing over the hay he slipped and
fell, feet foremost, into one of the
chutes. When he came TO stop his
bare feet extended Nto the manger
where jim, the only badtempered
horse In the barn, was hungrily SELF
ing mOuthfuls of the fodder.
The boy screamed for help but no
one heard him. for the house was az
some distance and his voice was
mui'led. There was nothing that Of
fcr'd hold; the chute had been made
smooth in order that the hay might
slide through easily. He tried to gain
a purchase by thruStins outward with
his elbows, so that he might lift his
feet but 1t was of no use; he could
not even kick. The horse, in pulling
away the fodder, uipped at his toes.
whoa Stop that" yelled the boy.
But the horse naturally continued
to eat his breakfast, and more than
once nipped-as If purposely--Hal's
legs and toes.
After few minutes the farmer
proyldentially entered the building and
heard his son sobbng and calling,

SALOONS AND LIGHTS.

The Electrical World furnishes an
interesting comment on the saloon
from the standpoint OF the electric
lighting industry.
II expects as a matter Of course
that the bright lights" associated.
traditionally and actually, with the
liquor business will be dimmed when
the bars shut down. The illuminated
whisky and beer signs in the cities
will vanish. Other forms of business
taking possession of the bar rooms
will hardly use so much light, because
the saloons ordinarily use lamps about
nineteen hours a day. But the cleo
trio light men are not worried about
the matter because they are satisfied
that, after a little readius tment, the
demand will be greater than ever.
1t might be taken as metaphor if
it were said that as the lights dim in
the saloon they grow bright in the
home. 1t is the literal truth. Says
the Electrical World:
1T seems generally conceded that
with the abolition of the saloons there
have been increases in the demand
for house wiring among working peo
pie. Electrical devices have been
easier to sell. Collections of electric
service accounts have been better
Nearly all managers who have oper-
ated properties in cities that have

nue. from residential customers"
No doubt good sermon might be
