Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. Hart, of Randall,
Kan, were the donors of one of the
bears at Gage park. They got the
bear of the cinnamon variety in the
Blue mountains in Washington when
it was a tiny cub and kept it as a pet
for a year. 1t was knowing pet, too,
and began to be a little bothersome
as it knew how to open the doors and
often when they came home they
also knew what the refrigerator was
for and worked long and hard trying
to gain entrance to it, but so long as
the door was tightly closed he couldn't
quite work the combination.
This young bear was called Teddy,
as bears sometimes are, and he still
remembers the name Mrs. Hart is
here visiting Mr.. Hart, who is in the
legislature, and a few days ago they
paid visit to Teddy out at Gage park.
When they called his name he seemed
to remember them and undoubtedly
wanted to go back where he might
have a chance to sleep on a parlor rug
once more.

THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. R.:-The sale in spring hats
| has fallen off remarkably the last two
days and the young miss has been
shivering in her boots. which are real
| ly spring oXfords or pumps. But some
way l can't help taking consolation in
| in the old adage Cor is it a proverb p
| that if March comes in like beast of
the roaring variety it will go out like
Mary's little lamb. So those of you
| who just haven't another thing to
| wear excepting a new spring suit and
| oxfords and haven't yet had time to
| get out your summer furs may "have
| a heart for we are looking forward
to an early spring.
One of the girls in eXcusing herself
TO 6snr- fOs l-l {I,.,w
| high school explained that she was too
| much of a lady to be good in mathe-
| mates anyway. If a girl is good in

a sign she is not lady but calcu-

A young man who was about to be

People are always saying a mar

contrary or an exception to the rule
| When one of the Newlyweds and his
wife both had the influenza at tbs
same time recently. the papers stated
that Mr.. Newlywed was ill with the
flu, was recovering from the flu, ha6
recovered from the flu, etc, but didn't
once mention the fact that Mrs. New
lywed was i'll until one day, perhap:
a week after the sign had been takeT
down she was heard to make a re
mark about when we had the flu
Guess that shows who gets the atten-
ton from the people-for isn't the
society reporter the voice of the peo-
pie?
