THE BEAR SUCCESSION ASSURED
(Scrlpps New Association)
' Berne, Switzerland, May 16 There is
great joy among the citizens of the Swiss
capital. ' A happy event has taken place
in the historic bear pit of the city, which
is one of the interesting historical feat
ures of particular interest to all tourists
The bear . th heraldic animal on the
coat of arm of Berne, which ha derived
time immemorial the c.ty ha maintained
a pit in which a family of bear was kept
Grava fears had been entertained for
some time that the municipal bear family
would ultimately die out a the female
ha been addicted to the horrible and un
natural habit of eating her offspring when
born. This time, how aver, a cnange has
come over the depraved she -bear, and
two little cubs enjoy the full measure of
her maternal aff jctions. They are thriv
ing splendidly and within a fortnight will
make their first bow to an admirine pub-
flic. The only danger they will run after
that will be that of death by overfeeding.

The action of the Farmers' Union in
this matter is being watched with con
siderable interest for the reason that in
Oklahoma and Indian Territory it now,
has a strong working membership of over
60.000 members. It is vary probable
that they will take an active part in PI-1
tics in some parte of Oklahoma this fall
and in fact their intention so to do has
already been announced in Pottowatomie
county. While they may not put up
separate ticket they will take a hand in
the nomination of candidates and will
east their vote for those men only, whom
they consider qualified and identified with
their interests. Th convention will
probably last two days or more, and will
attend closely to business matters, so a
