Bears I Ha.ve Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper. 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. _ At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
