MORE ZOO BEARS.
"When the other benrs are In the
zoo," snld Silver King, the Polar nr,
I "They like to have their mates with
them. When they are free they like
I to go about alone.
"Here In the zoo they will fight for
I their mates, and are unhappy without
j them.
: "But I am different. I do not want
, a mnte with me here. I like to be bj
I myself. I like to show that I am as
wild here and as fond of my own !
socletj as I am when I nm free.
"I do not change my ways In the
zoo."
"I have a big apnSJHe," snld Ivan, |
the Alaskan Brown Bear, "but then 1
am a big creature. If I were a little (
creature I would not core about eat- 1
Ing so much.
"But I must keep my good size. I
mustn't become a weak little bear. I
don't suppose I could become little In
one sense.
"That Is, I don't suppose I could be.
come any smaller In height. I wouldn't
grow shorter, as benrs and children
don't do such things.
"But if I didn't eat so much I might
become less strong. And that would
never do. So I eat lots of meat and
flsh nnd hrend and vegetables.
"Some bears care mostly for vege-
tables and others like some meat and j
others like some fish and some like |
oil three kinds'of food."
"There are four of us In this yard,
or In this den yard," snld one of the j
Black Boars. "We are lending a very j
soclnble life. It would be more cor-
reet, I suppose, to say that we are ■
leodlng very sociable lives.
"For each of us leuds his own life j
and not another's. That Is true
enough, woof-woof."
"True enough." snld the other Black
Bears.
"I will eat nothing but meat and [
flsh." snld Silver King. "The rest of
you will ent nnythlng, but I am very I
fussy. I believe In showing that I will
have my own way.
"It was the Same way about a mate.
I wouldn't stand for a mate. If they
should put a companion in here with
me now I'd kill her without a moment's
thought.
"I'd give her a moment's thought
perhnps. hut no more. I would think
that I would kill her. And then I
would do so, nnd after that I would
think no more about her.
"Ah, I nm a wild and terrible
creature. Other bears aren't like I
am I"
"Other benrs are more friendly,"
said the Bald-Faced Grizzly. "I didn't

King.
"I don't mind whether you did or
not." said the Bald-Faced Grizzly.
"But then why did you give oneT"
asked Silver King.
"Because I wanted to," said the
Bald-Faced Grizzly. "And I consider
that reason enough."
"I don't, growl, growl," said Silver
King.
"But I do," snld the Bald-Faced
Grizzly. "As far as that Is concerned

"But my opinion Is valuable," said
Silver King.
"In your own opinion," said Bald-

I have no thin muslins nnd no bathing
suits, such as children talk of having
In the slimmer time."
"Yes, you dress well for the winter,
but so do all of us," said the Bald-
Faced Grizzly.
"You're a great talker," said Silver
King.
"I'm glad you think my tulklng Is
great," said the Bald-Faced Grizzly.
"'I think It Is great too.'"
"I didn't mean that," said Silver
King, but no one was paying any at-
tention to him then, for all the bears
were taking their dally bath so Sliver
King took his too.

clean and bathe well every single day I j
