THE GIFTS.
Give me a book to read,
Give me health,
Give me joy in simple thing*.
Give me an eye for beauty,
A tongue for truth,
A hand for work,
A heart that loves,
A sympathy that understands.
Give me neither malice nor envy.
But a true kindness
And a noble, common sense.
And at the close of each day
Give me work to do.
Ahd a friend with whom
I can be silent.

TO MAKE HALLWAY
PLEASING TO EYE
This attractive hallway was fur
nished with a golden oak drop-leaf
table from a department store, a chair
from the attic and an old mirror. If
you are not good at drawing, take
any design that will fit the spaces
on the furniture, prick holes with a
large pin, around the outlines of the
flowers and, placing the design face
down on the furniture, dust powdered
chalk through the holes. The design
is thus transferred to the surface and
can be painted in with oil paints.

HUNTER BRAVES " 1
BEAR IN HIS BEN
Wounded Animal, Maddened With

Close Call for His Life.
Malone, N. Y. —If you had tracked
a big bear to his den among mountain
J rocks and Bruin laughed at you and

i •
Fired Two Shots.
I wolf in his lair? That is just what
: A. M. Johnson, a Chateaugay hunter,
did the other day, and he got his bear.
Johnson, with Ed Cooke, Jerry
, ! Mahoney and other Chateaguay men,
was stalking deer in the woods near
Chateaugay lake. Coming upon
tracks of a bear they abandoned their
deer hunt to follow him. After a long
i trail they arrived at a naturally
1 formed den in a rocky ledge. As the
bear’s tracks had ended there, they
knew that the beast had taken refuge
in the cave. How to get at the ani
mal was the question. He showed
no willingness to come * out and let
the hunters shoot him, nor did he
promise to be a cordial host.
But Johnson was unwilling to leave
without at least a sight of his game.
So, holding his rifle in position for in
stant use, the hunter entered the den.
He had not penetrated far before he
caught sight of the animal. Recogni
tion probably was mutual in the dim
light of the cave, and Johnson took
no chances of a warm welcome from
the den’s owner. He fired two shots
in quick succession. One of them
- broke the bear’s jaw.
Maddened with pain and rage the
beast made a rush for the hunter,
who backed out of the den as quickly
as possible with the bear close upon
him. As the animal appeared In the
open the other hunters fired upon it,
and a fusillade of bullets soon put In
out of power to fight The animal
weighed 300 pounds.

“From Subi:me to Ridiculous."
Although tliiy saying is generally
attributed ro Napoleon, it is to be
found in the works of Tom Paine, be
fore Napoleon’s time. Paine says:
“The sublime and the ridiculous are
often so nearly related that it is diffi
cult to class them separately. One
step above the sublime makes the
ridiculous, and one step above the
ridiculous makes the sublime again.”
