GIRL AND BEAR SURF PALS Dared by Companion, Young Woman Braves the Waves With Bruin at Venice, Cal. Los Angeles, Cal.—Miss Anna Fred ericks, a pretty beach girl, went swim ming through the breakers at Venice accompanied by a half-grown cinna mon bear. For a while it looked as if the great seal of California had come to life and had gone forth for a paddle in the ocean. Miss Fredericks was one of the thousands of bathers along the ocean front. She was clad in an attractive silk bathing suit and was accampa nied by several friends, when R. L Pierce cf Pasadena strolled by leading two half-grown cinnamon bears which he secwured in- northern California when the bears were only a few weeks old. “I dare you to take one of the bears in swimming,” said a friend to Miss Fredericks. ' The young woman took the dare. Her escort, after futile attempts at dissuasion, secured one the bears. The little animal was quite tame and trot ted down to the surf line with Miss Predericks. Thousands of beach visitors throng ed the water front to watch the novel performanee. At first the little bear snorted and fussed as the spray splashed over his nose, but finally with a little grunt, he ducked into the breakers and followed the leash which Miss Fredericks carried.

The oouple was married a year ago AUTO IS WRECKED BY RABBIT Animal Attreacted by Lights of the Machine Gets Entangled in the Steering Gear. s T e Dover, Coto—A jack rabbit which pecame entangled in the steering gear of an automobile belonging to W.

The discovery of the bones of a hu man giant at Ellensburg is one of the most interesting anthropological finds made in the northwest, according to L. L. Sharp, chief of the general land office. “I just returned from Ellens burg,” said he, “where I had opportu nity to view the bones unearthed. The skull, jawbone, thigh and other parts of the largest skeleton indicated a man to my mind of at least eight feet high. A man of his stature and massive frame would weigh fully ‘3OO pounds at least. The head is one of the most remarkable I ever have studied among prehistoric skulls. It is massive, with enormous brain space. While the fore head slopes down somewhat, not av eraging the abrupt eminence of our present race, the width between the ears and the deep, well-rounded space at the back of the head are convinc ing testimony of high intelligence for a primitive man. The cheekbones are not high, like those of the In dian, nor has the head any resem blance to the Indian skull. lam con vinced that this skull is of a prehis toric man who was one of a remark able race of people who inhabited this part of America some time prior to the Indian control. “The bones were uncovered fully 20 foet beneath the surface. There is the usual gravel formation on top, then the conglomerate, a stratum of shale, and in a bed of concrete gravel bencath the shale were the bones of the giant and of a smaller person The shale would indicate tremendous age, perhaps more than 1,000,000 years, for the deposit in which the skeleton was found. But this I deem impossiblep, and presume that the bones were put beneath the shale by means of a tunnel perhaps, or some other system of interment. I cannot think it possible shat a human beihg of the advanced stage indicated by this great skull could have existed at the period when the shale was formed.”—Portland (Ore.) Telegram. FEASTING KINGS AND QUEENS Parisians Find That Their Hospitality Has Cost Many Millions of Dollars. It is learned from an official report just fileq what it costs to entertain kings and queens. The expression “treated royally” will now have a defi nite meaning for Parisians. Figures show that it cost this city something more than three million dollars to be host for the Czar of Rus sia on his memorable visit which marked the French-Russian alliance, but only $56,000 was spent to give the king of Sweden a good time while in Paris. Three times that amount was dis bursed to entertain King Alfonso on the visit when an anarchist threw a bomb at him. The king of Portugal was compara tively a cheap guest, costing only about $40,000. On the king of Norway $68,000 was expended, on the king of Italy $65,000 and on the late king of Denmark $6O, 000. Left Her Money to Bellboys. It is going to be pretty difficult to get many of the bellboys of the hotels to go on strike if folks keep on dying ‘and leaving them fortunes, just be ‘eause they were prompt with the ioce water. ~ The latest instance of the kind came to light last month, when the will of Hanah Dwight Green was of fered for probate in Albany, N. Y., and it was found that she had left 21l her ‘patate save some personal effects and jewelry to three bellboys. These boys were Edwin J. Greene wood, of Littleton, N. H.; George Hadenburg of Providence, and Frank Donegan of Boston, who were em ployed in the hotels where Mrs. Greene stopped. There is to be di vided among them the proceeds of 12 gshares of New York and New Haven stock, 10 shares of United Steel pre ferred, and a promissory note for $3, £Bl.—Steward. A Distinct Vernacular. The baseball reporter’s English is weird and wonderful, and apropos of It there is a story about the great Ty Cobb. In a New York hotel two college professors watched Ty Cobb bent over & newspaper. “Look at the poor fellow’s frowns and mutterings,” said the first profes sor, “with that journal.” “Yes,” said the other, *“he can't make it out, you know.” “Can’t make it out, eh? Can’t even read! I knew they were an unedu cated lot.” . “Oh,” said the other, “Ty’s educated all right enough, but that’s the base ball page he’s got there.” —————————————————————————— | Singularly Alike, The two Clevelanders on the back seat ware talking literature. “I'm reading Ruskin all over again,” paid one. “It’s meaty stuff after so much modern frivol.” “Ruskin,” sald the other man, “al ways reminds me of Artemus Ward.” “What’s that? Artemus Ward? Im possible!” “Not at all. The titles of Ruskin’s books and Ward’s lectures never have anything to do with the contents.” Inexpensive Job. “Do you see that man? Only yester day he cleanedrout a bank.” “Why didn’t they arrest him"” “What for? He’s a very conscien tious jamitor.” Ben Hill Superior Court, October Term, 1912.
