Manners Of Wild Animals" takes up the

There are individual animal criminals,

runs remarkably parallel in psychological

murder Of the polar bears bride" in the

Hagenbeck polar bear OF the female which
had been offered him as mate.

fine polar bears. They played roughly
but never fought.

the animals sickened and died, and pres
emily the impression prevailed that the sur
viyor was lonesome The desirability OF
introducing female companion was
spoken OF, but was afraid to try the ex.
pertinent.
Quite against my own Judgment, but In
difference 10 expert opinions arrayed
against mine, finally yielded. The female
bear was purchased, and on her arrival
she was placed for three weeks IN the large
shifting gage which connects with the
eastern side OF the great polar bears den.
THE two animals seemed glad to see
each other. At once they fraternized
through the bars, licked each others noses
and ate their meals side by side. At night
the male always slept as near as possible
to his new companion. There was not O

might break. But each time we beat him
on and the poor harred female rose to
her feet he flung himself upon her anew,
crushing her down upon the snow and

"Gallantly the female fought for life.
with SIX wild men to help her After a
long battle-it seemed like hours, but l
suppose 1t was between twenty and thirty
minutes-the male bear recognized the
fact that so long as the female lay near
the bars his own punishment would con-
tlnue and the end would be postponed.
Forthwith he seized his victim and dragged
her inward and down to the swimming
pool in the centre of the den, beyond our
reach Ihe moor was SO slippery from ice
ana snow that It was utterly unsafe for
any or our men TO enter and try TO ap-
proach the furious animal within striking
distance.
But with all possible haste Keeper
Mulyehill coiled lasso bravely entered
the den, and with the first throw landed
the moose neatly around the neck of the
male bear. In second II was terked
taut' the end passed through the bars, and
ten eager arms dragged the big bear away
from his victim and close up to the bars.
Another lariat was put on him 10 guard
against breakage, and no bear ever missed
being choked to death by narrower mar.
GIN That morsel OF revenge was sweet.
While no was held thus two men went IN
and dragged the female into the adjoining
cage, But the rescue came too late. Al
the last moment the canine teeth OF the
big bear had severed the jugular vein Of
the female, and two minutes after her
rescue she was dead"

"Only two wild animal species
known TO me--wolyos and Crocodiles--
devour their own kind, but many Of
the races of men have been cannibals,
and some are to-day.
Among free Wild animals the cruel
abuse OF murder OF children by their
parents, or by other adults of their
tribe Is unknown; but in all the civilized
races OF men infanticide and child murder
are frightiully common crimes. In 1921 a
sX.yearold Eskimo girl, whose father and
mother had been murdered, was stranEled
by her relatives because she had no visible
means OF support.
The murder of the aged and helpless
among Wild animals is almost unknown,
but among both savage and civilized races
OF men /, is quite common.
"Cyil war between the members OF
wild animal species is a thing unknown in
the annals of wild-animal history, but
among men 1t is an everyday occurrence.
Among free ANIMALS It is against the
moral and ethical codes OF all species OF
vortebrates for the strong to bully and op.
press the weak, but It Is almost every.
where a common rule OF action with about
10 per cent OF the human race.
"Tho members OF a wild animal species
are IN honor bound not to rob one an.
other, but with 25 per cent of the men OF
all civilized races robbery and the desire
to get something for nothing are ruling
passions.
mo wild animals thus far known and
described practice social vices but the
less said OF the races of men on this sub
ject the better for our feelings
I'm the mating season there is hghting

largest and finest male individuals for the

locking Of antlers occasionally causes the
death Of both contestants"

sign OF Ill temper, but for all that my
doubts were ever present.
AT last, after three full weeks OF close
acquaintance. It was agreed that there was
nothing to be gained by longer delay in
admitting the female to the large den. But
we made preparations for trouble We
provided pike-poles, long iron bars, lariats,
meat and long planks food wide Heart
lily wishing myseu a hundred miles away

order:
"'Open her door, foot only, and let her

The female bear had not the slightest
ear or premonition Of danger. Thrusting
ler head through the narrow opening she
looked upon the world and the open sky
above and found that 1t was good She
struggled to force the door open wider and
the male stood back waiting.
Let her go.'
Forcing the door back with her own
eager strength she fearlessly dropped the
Intervening eighteen inches to the floor OF

"IIe never left her alone for ten seconds,
save when, at five or six different times,
We beat him off by literally ramming him

gave us chance to fight for her. We beat

are done without the press of time
behind them. They show the result
OF more leisure. They are more ex-
presslve in consequence.
The frocks now, at this particular
moment, being created have much
about them that Is new. while in other
respects they are so faithful to the
tradition Of the last five years that
one wonders how they can keep up
the pace. But 1t is astonishing how
far detail can go to change utterly
the appearance Of a frock. The sill
houette for. the most part remains as
1t has been. OF course, we have the
elongated lines-lengthened as far as
the individuality of the figure will
permit. But in other respects the
large, outlines Of the frock are essen
TALLY the same.
Distinguished by individuality.
Among recent importations are new
models distinguished by their pro-
nounced individuality. The outlines
Of them are straight and comparative
ly long, but the trimmings are the
fine points of interest. The cut of the
sleeves flor all sleeves are expression
full these days), the arrangement Of
