For The Bears
Dr. Axel Munthe has handed over to the King of Sweden a hundred thousand crowns for charity, one more gift from the proceeds of his book. “The Story of San Michele.” The money is equal to 5000 guineas, and will be spent on giving comfort to needy Lapps, the support of a rest home and “the protection of bears against humans, and for defending their right to live, a little pocket money to the more sympathetic representatives of Sweden's wild fauna.” “A little pocket money for the bears” is characteristic of Dr. Munthe, with his intensp love of wild animals.
