SAGACITY SHOWN BY BEARS Observers Have Seen and Noted In stances of Reasoning That Are Little Short of Human. The grizzly bear, snys Mr. Knos A. Mills, Is superior In mcntnl power to the liorsc, the dof nnd even the gray wolf, nnd In his book. "The drizzly,' ho offers convincing evidence of IiIn statement. A KrlzrAy etih In Yellow stone pnrk, he snys, once found n limn skin n prized dellcncy'. Just ns the little fellow wiib lifting It to his mouth n big bear nppenrcd. The cub lnstnnt ly dropped the hnm skin, sut down on It and pretended to he greatly Inter ested In watching something In the edge of the woods. Another young grizzly In the Yellow stone one doy found a tin enn that was open at one end nnd partly filled with fish. Uc raised It In his forepaws nnd peeped In, then dellhcrntcly turned the can upside down and shook It. Noth ing enme out. He shook again, but still nothing came out. Tic then placed the can on the ground, open end down, and hammered the bottom of It with n stone until the fish dropped out. In a zoo one day a piece of hard-tack that n grizzly bear wanted fell Into the hands of a black bear. The black bear dipped the hard-tack In water and started to take a bite. Evidently It was too hnrd. lie put It In the water again, nnd while It soaked gnve his attention to something else. When tho black bear was not looking, tho grizzly, Btnndlng on the farther edgo of tho pool, stirred the water with a forcpaw and started the hard-tack toward him on tho waves. The Instant tho first wave touched the black bear he looked round, grabbed tho precious hard-tack, which was rapidly floating away, and, pushing it to the bottom of the pool, put one hind foot upon It. How very lko tho mental processes of human beings I SWAT THE FEMALE MOSQUITO In the Case of These Insects, Kipling Was Undoubtedly Right In His ( Assertion. Contrary to popular belief, tho mos quito lays only 00 or 100 eggs nt. a tUpc; wo naturully would suppose It laid about 1,000,000. Thclurvnl stag'o lasts seven to fourteen days. If you have a bnrrclful of mosquitoes under your eaves trough have a look nt them. It Is easier to spot the mularlal kind than others. Tho harmless wrigglers hng with their heads down, but tho malarial mosquito lies with Its body parallel to tho surface of tho water. If a fullgrown mosquito bites you, look at Its back, preferably with a micro scope. "If It has the figure of a lyre oa Its bnck It Is bad medicine, If It Is nil one color It won't hurt you. Only tho female mosquito will bite, according to n writer In tho Saturday Evening Post. Tho males die In tho fall, tho females hibernating and then living one or two months. Tho mule lives but a fow days. No doubt you be lieve that mosquitoes live on blood alone, though you may have wondored how they get nlong In tho remote wil derness where there seems to be no animal life, ns, for Instance, In the subarctic nnd arctic country. The truth Is that the mosquito also lives on the Juice of plants. They will bite al most any sort of animal, will bite rep tiles and even catorplllars. Some mos quitoes can bite through u leather moc casin. Any of tliem can bite through a human hide. The Trade. EzraI hear you swapped nutty mobllcs with SI Skinner yesterday.

SLEPT AMONG THE DEPARTED Travelers In Auto Unknowingly Se lected Peculiar Place In Which to Pass the Night They lived In Milwaukee and "fllv vcred" through to Indlnnapolls with their two children. They left homo early In the morning, arriving t Gary Just before dark. Anxious to roach (heir destination as soon ns possible, they left Oary after getting a supply of gasoline. A few miles out of Onry a heavy rainstorm cheeked their progress nnd ihroudcd the countryside In pitch darkness. Losing their way they de cided to-turn In at tho first gate and spend the rest of the night in the automobile, rather than take chances of traveling by night In the darkness on unknown roads. A few miles further on the outline of a tree Just beyond nn open gnte was seen, and tho auto was guided beneath. The couple and children slept In cramped quarters In the auto and awakened nt daybreak next morning. Imagine their horror when they dis covered they had slept all night In their nuto In n cemetery. Indianapo lis News. Too Beautiful. A man and hlswlfe went to ono of the most beautiful Islands In tho Caribbean sea seven years ago to spend the twilight of their lives In tho se rene beauty of tho tropics. It wa u place which tho husband, a seafaring mnn, had chosen ns the nearest ap proach to terrestrial paradise for those who have enough money to live with out working hnrd. The couple landed In New York the other duy with their lares and penutoa nnd a parrot. Tho Ideal season Is Just about to begin In the Caribbean, but It will stnrt and contlnuo without this particular pair of humans. "We want nn old-fashioned New England win ter," said tho wife. The husbnnd was more specific. "It was great for n while, but finally it got too dodblasted beautiful. Wo nro going bnck to Con necticut to see some rocks nnd bnrrea fields." New York Sun. ALL WENT INTO THE BILL Moroccan Ruler Found in the That He Paid for His Hours of Bridge. End now tho sultnn of Morocco, Mulal tlafld, played bridge with his dentist has been amusedly told. A close friendship sprnng up be tween the sultan and an English dentist, nnd as often as not, bridge took the place of dentistry. The dentist would arrive with his timid lady assistant, add all his Implements of torture, only to be Invited to sit down nt the table and play cards. The lady-assistant was very young nnd very shy, and was more accustomed to play children's card gnmes than bridge. A fourth player would bo found and the Ill-assorted party com pleted. The ex-sultan enjoyed himself Immensely. He generally won, por haps by never permitting tho trembling lndy assistant to he his partner. The points were one franc a hundred, so no very serious damage could be done; but rich ns the sultan was, ho re joiced more In his humblo winnings ut brldgo than over his many thousands In tho banks. Not a little of his en joyment wns owing to tho fact that he folt that ho was "doing" tho dontlst. "Ho comes," tho ox-sultan would sny, "to mend my teeth nnd to take my gold, and In tho end I win his francs." Rut ono day tho climax came. Tho teeth wero excellently repnlred tho work was of tho best thero was no more to bo done but to pay tho bill and tho bill very naturally and rightly Included all the brldgo hours, nt so much por hour. It was tho most ex pensive brldgo Mulal Hnfld over played. Christian Solence sorrlco Sunday 11 .i. in. Wednesday evonlng meetings overy wook at 8:00.
