THE ESCAPE OF THE GRIZZLY BEAR.

being vigorously sought. for only
in the mornings could clues to his
whereabouts be found.
He wandered forth from his hid
ing places only at night, and in the
early mornings he would hunt 9TH
er places of concealment. Hun
dreds of reports OF hearing the
cry of the beast were sent to tho
police, and often late at night a
frightened woman would call head
quarters, saying that she had
heard the grunts OF tie bear.
Decoration Day approached, and
In the meantime the search was
renewed with fervor.
Suburban families were almost
frantic as every day another re-
port was circulated that the bear
had been seen in the outskirts Of
the city.
At last Bruin was located by a
farmer. An armed detail was dis
patched Immediately. The bear
was seen on a hill nearby, and a
picked squad went after him. A saw
age fight between the bear and the
police ensued. Blood was shed, and
hope Of taking the animal alive
waned. At last the bear was laid
low with bullet from Superinten-
dent Blackburn's Winchester rifle.

SnObbishness Not
Necessarily Contagious.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX .

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
Would you kindly advise me on a
matter which has occurred in my
work. At the first part of this week,
my employer came to me and told
me that a change had been made and
I was to go to another department.
I didn't care to go because this de
partment has tho reputation of being
very "snobbish" and ii can easily be
seen that most of the employees are
snobs. Now, Miss Fairfax, l would
rather be most anything than a "snob"
and | want to know how to keep from
the influence of the others. b. II.
Isn't the statement all the en-
ployes in one department are snobs
a little too general? Surely all
these people cannot be "up stage"
When you start to. work there,
you'll probably find that plenty of
them are just girls like yourself.
At any rate, unless a person is a
born snob land there are such be-
cause I've seen them as young as
three years) or thinks it's fine to
be naughty, there is nothing that
can make them a snob, not even
working with snobs. Cheer UP and
make friends and be happy in your
work

\ UTE a commotion was caused
J in Washington in May. 1892,
when one of the large black


bears confined in a cage at the
Geological Park escaped from it's
home and wandered at large over
the city and suburbs for weeks pre-
ceding decoration Day.
The animal was of the grizzly
type, and was noted for its terror
izing ways during the short time 1t
had been penned in the Zoo cage.
A general alarm was sent over
the District when the keepers dis
covered its absence at meal time,
and policemen were instructed to
shoot 1T on sight. School children
made their way home timidly; men
and women expected to see 1T every
time they turned a corner, and all
Washington was talking about the
escaped animal.
Mounted officers secured neigh
hoods where alarms had been turn
ed in, to find them all false. Sig
nails were improvised so that in
case the trail was really found, all
the reserve policemen could be call
ed into the chase.
So the suspense went on, day af-

Painted Library Carpet
A Nice New Green.

We've all heard of painting the
old town red. but Mrs. Frailey. the
winner of today's Economy Prize,
seems to be the first person to think
of painting the old carpet green.
Her letter follows:
DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:

pet on the library floor and l noticed
that IL was very faded. As carpets
are very high, decided to try and use
the carpet at least another winter
/ bought a couple OF packages of green
dye, boiled and strained il and with a
whisk broom painted the entire sur
face of the carpet The windows Of
the room were all open and the hot
dye went into the carpet coloring all
the pile fine even green. The cost
was thirty cents i surprised myself
at my success.

took Peter Moore's adventures on
the Whang-Poo and put them down
in writing he insured everybody eG-
tertainment of the most thrilling
type. You just cannot put this
story aside until you have learned
whether or not Peter the Brazen
ever found the Gray Dragon, who
lived in Len Yang, where beautiful
women shaved in the cinnabar
mines.
Peter Moore has youth and cour-
age and curiosity. And he is in
China What more could be want
ed? Furthermore, beautiful women
are dra&S strangely TO him. Eileen
Lorimer becomes his lodestar after
he rescues her from the kidnapers
who were sending her to slavery
at Len Yang. That was how Peter
started to find this dreadful city
himself.
Then there was Miss Vost, who
promptly fell in love with Peter and
forgot his old friend, Bobbie Nc
Laurin. That adventure, carrying
them all right into the great white
temple of the Gray Dragon, is
thrilling enough, but when Romola
Borria comes along, then comes real
excitement.
Romola wanted Peter to elope
with her. Never mind if she did
seek to assassinate him, she did love
him.. Yes. she did lure him into a
den where Chinese assassins sought
his life, but she loved him for all
that
Finally there was Peggy whipple,
one of the wonderful twins. She,
too, fell in love with the energetic,
courageous Peter. All these beau
tiful women just could not keep
from falling in love with Peter.
And each and every one provides
him with adventures that some
times curdle the blood. Knives
fash, coolies are tossed overheard,
men are shot down and women kid
naped by mounted Mongols until
there seems no end of excitement.
But the end does come, and even
the dreadful Gray Dragon is found
to be not so dreadful, after all.
