South American Ant-Bear
 Brushes Hunter to Death

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 14.-How hunter fought a fierce body-to-body battle with a South American ant bear. reputed to be an innofensive animal, and was fatally injured, IS told in a report from the village of Avia Teria, in the Argentine Chaco.
 The tragedy took place in dense forest surrounding the village, the victim, Candido Martinez, 50 years old having encountered the bear as he was hunting and Separated from his companions. The latter heard his cries for help, the barking of his dogs and several shots, and making their way through the forest as fast as they could, found Martinez on the ground. his flesh terribly torn in sev- eral places and his ribs crushed. lie had only time to tell that he had been attacked by an ant-bear before ne died.
 Instances of an ant-bear attacking a man are very rare. Ant-bears are known to kill the jaguar when attack ed by it, by crushing it between it's powerful forelegs and chest, but it's main interest in life is eating ants, de- stroying their hills with its long fox like snout For this reason it is re- garded by settlers as useful ami mal It is thought that in this in- stance the bear was attacked by the dogs and turned at bay, attacking the man when he tried to save the dogs.

YOUR kisses become as unimpor-

not be cheapened by being given

Won will one day love. Keep
vour kisses for THE ONE MAN.
But il you indignantly accuse
the man who asks kiss of
lack of respect. assuring him
he's no gentleman, quite natur

A prig. according to the die
tionary, is "a narrow-minded per

mans request for a kiss Is nsces-

Whatever you do don't assume

friends is to be q prig.

Then he pointed TO the tele'

there were two beautiful wood

said Bunny. you see wood

provided them with the proper
tools with which to work.
How do they know insects are

"Woodpeckers have very sharp

those ears they listen to the

If you had to bear it, there

more than three in the world.
First it would be my turn, then
yours, then mine again-but you

But she remembered the ashen

her-when he chung to her hand

the tears on his eyelids.
During long, terrible hours
these kept dropping in her
