"Old Mose" was one of the most f< rocious bears in tlie Rockies. He wa a notorious "bad actor," according t ; Mr. A. L. Corson in the Wide Woii Magazine, and foiled all attempts t shoot or trap him. Indeed, he seeme to have a charmed life. On one occasion a man named Har cock tried to trap him. In nlaein the bait inside the trap, Hancock a< i cidentally touched the trigger, and th logs came down and imprisoned mm. He tried to pry the heavy timber apart, but found that he could nc shift them an inch. From one side c the trap to the other he went, uncor sciouslyv imitating the movement Bruin would have made in huntin for a weak point. All his efforts wei fruitless. The pangs of hunger were now con , ing on, and night was neat. Hancoc scraped up some chips and twigs, mad a fire and roasted part of the dec thnt he had brought to bait the tra ; with. Being liglitly dressed, lie su fered keenly from the cold night af He lay down on the ground, but su< . denly he heard sniffing sounds ou side and detected^ by the dim light < the moon, a dark form gazing throug the chinks between the logs. Hancoc felt safe, although his gun was stan< Ing by a tree some distance from tli trap; Mose?for it was no other. seemed to realize the fact. Knowing his savage nature, Hai cock withdrew to the other side of tfc trap as me uig luiui iwsc up wu *?. hind legs. H.e could feel the bear 1 hot breath surging through betwee the logs upon his face; and, fearic r that the brute would thrust his clav In, he kept moving from side to sid Daylight came at last, and Mos . trotted off.

The world throughout the year 1920 s was passing through the troublesome >t period of readjustment and reaction >f that besan with the close of the World i- war. Of all the great powers that had s been involved in the conflict, the Unitg ed States alone remained technically e in a state of war with Germany through the failure of the seuate to i- ratify the peace treaty. For all prack tical purposes, however, the United , ,e States was at peace and conditions in ?r this country were more nearly normal p than in most of the nations of Europe f- which had accepted the settlements r. agreed upon by the peace conference 1- at Paris. ' t- Although the great war had ended,. )f the world was not at peace in 1920. h Territorial disputes and jealousies j k growing out of the war resulted in a j large number of minor conflicts. I ie The Irish problem remained un- j ? solved and the situation in the Emerald Isle grew more serious as the year i- progressed. In the United States, de-, ie spite minor radical activities and the j is uncertainties accompanying the read-! ?s justment of business and industrial j ;n conditions, there was continued pros- j ig perity and optimism. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS , The World war was formally ended a January 10 when Germany and four ?r teen of the powers allied against her |e in the war exchanged ratifications of s the Treaty of Versailles at Paris. The n" United States, however, was hot among the nations participating in this ceremony, as the treaty had not been L ratified by the senate. ;The League of Nations came into actual being at Paris January 16 when the executive council held Its first meeting with representatives from "Belffium.

The BS allied forces occupied the Turkish >n capital without opposition, rs Polish troops began a spring offenie sive against the Russian Bolsheviki in s" the Baltic region on March 23! Warsaw reported heavy fighting at many points j on the 400-mile front. Three days lat ir er Poland offered peace terms to kussia, providing for restoration of the kingdom of 1772, return of art and other treasures, and an indemnity for invasions since 1914. Polish troops ad:e? ministered a severe defeat to the Bolk" sheviki at Podolia April 13. l!* The Poles and Ukrainians negotiatir" ed a treaty on April 27, recognizing Ukrainian independence from Russia. ed a combined army of Poles and Ukralnrs ians then launched an offensive against ?S the Russian "Red" forces, capturing Kiev on May 8 and the great port of rd Odessa on May 13. Bolshevik troops'" invaded Persia at Astara May 18, forcing the withdrawal P- of British troops. Bolshevik troops on the Polish front were re-enforced ed and launched an attack on a ninetymile front, seeking to open communication with East Prussia. On June 3 er they succeeded in flanking and driving back General Pilsudski's Polish troops, cm The supreme council continued its ou efforts to complete the peace settlements.
