THE YAKUTAT BEARS.

Yakutat Bear, land now we are in
the ZOO. Most certainly we have come
some distance"
Indeed, indeed, we have" said Mrs.
Yakutat Bear. 81 hope people won't
have trouble pronouncing our family
name. It's rather hard one to pro-
nounce, I'm told.
IL notice that when the keeper tells
our name to anyone they have hard
time trying to say it after him.
81 don't mind in the least if they
don't pronounce it quite correctly
Neither do l." said Mr.. Yakutat
Bear.
We'll" Mrs. Yakutat Bear contin-
ued, 81 like it here in the zoo. I'm
glad people seem to admire us, for it
is pleasant to be admired when one
is on exhibition"
"Now, you've used a word | do not
understand Mr.. Yakutat Bear said.
when something is exhibited it
means that it is being shown and
that people can look at it. Now we
are being exhibited, so we are on eX-
hibtion, and that means that people
can come and look at us.
80 it is nice that they like to look
at US and that they think we amount

to be looked at.
"They like our large heads and our
great big bodies and enormous claws
They wouldn't like to be TOO near
our claws, they often say, and they
seem to be glad that we're separated
from them by great iron bars.
They think our brown fur is very
good looking, and they admire the way
we stand ana they think we've such
nice strong shoulders and such strong
backs.
Sometimes folks mistake rs for the
Kadiak Bears. The Kadiak Bears
come from the Kadiak Islands, Alaska,
as every one knows"
Il doubt very much" said Mr.. Yaku-
tat Bear, "if any one knows that Per-
haps they do know it, but you know !
don't suppose people spend their lives
finding out just what part Of the
world certain bears come from.
ITO many people we're Just bears,
and it doesn't make much difference
to them if they know our names or
not"
True, true said Mrs. Yakutat
Bear, And l wouldn't be in the least
insuIted if I were called a bear, and
didn't have my family name of YaIu-
tat used. My name means, too, that
am from the Yakutat Bay, Alaska.
but still it is nice when it is posi-
bic to let people know more about the
different families of bears.
I'D like to tell them, if got the
chance, that we do look like the Kad-
ial1 Bears, and that the color fur we
use is just the same.
80 naturally there is every reason
why they would confuse US. Every
reason in the world why they should.

to explain that the Kadiak Bears have
long noses, which look quite pointed,
and ours are short and stubby, or

Perhaps that is what you should

antly.

Alaskan Brown Bears" he continued.
II might add that bit of information
along with yours"
THANK you, thank you said Mrs.
Yakutat Bear, I'm glad to add to the
information l wish to give to people.
And l hope that though there may be
other things more interesting in their
lives to think about, such as ice cream
and circuses and candy, they will still

Lay Twenty-eight Each in Thirty-five Days
of the Eleventh Year.

Seventeen birds (including five hens)
were still reported in molt against a
total of nineteen last week. Seven pens
have failed to lay so far and a few have
ceased action temporarily.
AS a whole the results so far are above
the average and unless an exceptional
winter of unusual low temperatures in
ter feres there is no reason apparent
why any scores this year should not be
above the average for past years.
More than ever before interest in poul-

Christmas occurs on Sunday this year.
Christmas fell on Sunday in 1910 and
would have occurred again on Sun
day in 1916 had not that been leap
year. That threw the Sunday Christ
mas off Of schedule and caused the
