The night east1 passenger train is due at Hayes tout 7 o'clock. Twelve persons, several of them women, had arrived at the station preparatory to boarding the train. They were surprised when the bear appeared In the doorway. After surveying the frightened group bruin gave a loud grunt and proceeded to He down on the platform in front of the door. As the passenger train approached he picked himself up and ran to the woods.

Daniel Webster, as a lad. is thus described by John Ha> h McMaster. the historian, in the Century: As the boy grew In years and stature his life was powerfully affected by the fact that he was the youngest sen and ninth child In a family of ten; that his health was far from good: that he showed tastes and mental traits that stood out in marked contrast with those of his brothers and sisters, and and that he was. from Infancy, the pet of the family. Such daily work as r farmer s lad v.a* then made to do was not for him. Yet he was expected to do something, ami might have been seen barefooted, in frock and trousers, astride of the horse- that dragged the plow between the rows of coriR or raking hay. or binding the wheat the reapers cut; or following the cows to pasture in the morning and home again at night, or tending logs In bis father's saw mill. When such work was to be done It was his custom to take a book along, set the log. hoist the gates, and while the saw passed slowly through the tree trunk.-an op-

"Look merer said the man who had rpoken before, "that bird really must be hurt. I have seen many kinds of birds pretend to be Injured, but have never seen two play different parts In the same trick." So they started to catch her. But Mrs. Plover seemed to get better. and ran on for 15 or 20 yards, and then appeared to fall ill again. The other plovers gathered about her as before. and put their little bills under her as if to raise and help the sick one. The men went .hurrying on; but the lady bird again recovered enough to run for a little distance. The young j plcvcra saw the group pass off among ' the dunes, the four birds In front and the men following alter. Twenty minutes later the shrewd old birds were hack aim their calklren. and the men. entirely outwitted, were far down the beach toward their boat.

But this is actually the fai l, and the ledybtigs will «c>u be on their way across the sea from our own country to Cape Colony. Jett because they are better able than any o.hrr creature to destroy certain insects which are spoiling the crops there Not many year* ago large ladybugi; were brought to California from Australia for this samreason, and they earned $20,000 for Jhstate by killing the queer beetle* that had begun to injure the grapes. The ladybug. as we see. is a wonderfully helpful insect, even though so tiny. She is a kind of beetle, and is found in many parts oi the world. Her little round body, only an eighth of an inch in diameter, is sometimes red. sometimes yellow, sometimes bright colored, and often covered with tiny black spots. In France the children call her the "Insect of the good God." because of her work for the farmers In ridding their crops of dangerous

bugs.

"Your ladybug Is always hungry." the London Express tells us. "feeding upon the eggs of other insects and upon the Insects themselves If they are small enough to be swallowed by a specimen so diminutive as the ladybird herself.
