" jS& S to varmints," said old Zeb /II White one evening as he roasted chestnuts over the hickory fire, "I think the b'ar ahead of all other sorts. He may not look so mighty cute, but when you cum to find out about a b'ar he's got mo' fun in him than a monkey. Tnar's heaps ?' times when he'd rather have a lark than a fout, and you've alius got to pitch inter him fust to make a row." The old man was asked to relate some instances of bear hunting, and, rrsii-i-; nir n fTvr* hie ninp 1lf? S3 id! L LAli^ Ct VVU4 A. \y A. UAM ? "When I built my fust pigpen yere I knowed that b'ars would be around arter the hawgs, and so I aimed to make it b'ar proof. It was a mighty \ * j ^ * ' <\ % I I "I WAS SKIPPIN' AHEAD O' THE C'-.ITTER." stout pen, with a powerful doah to it, but I hadn't had a liawg in thar ino'n a week befo' a b'ar took him out. Jest clawed that doah open sumhow and weDt off with the hawg befo' I could git outer bed. "When I put a second hawg in thar I didn't dun leave no doah at all, but made the pen all logs. Thar was also logs on the roof, with dirt on top o' the logs, but that same old b'ar cum along agin and went through the roof and got the hawg. He jest tumbled them logs around as if they was sticks. I got a third hawg, and as I reckoned how the b'ar would work I sot two traps on the roof of the pen. He couldn't do no fussin' around up thar without bein' eotched." "And so you got him?" was asked. "And so I didn't, sah," smiled Zeb as he put more chestnuts on to roast. "The fust night I had them traps sot the b'ar cum down and walked all around fur an hour or two, as his tracks proved. I was sartin he'd either got to give up hawg meat or be cotcked, and fur two or three days and nights I was powerful pleased. At sundown..one evenin' the old woman got sight o' the critter out by that chestnut tree. He sot up and looked at her and cocked his eye and grinned, and when be was gone she says to me: io fliov onr in fj /jCU >"t liiLC, IO UUJ - v..-, ~ b'ar? " 'Never heard as there was,' says I. 'And what about it?' " 'Kase that old b'ar is gwine to play us some trick as suah's yo'r bo'n. He was grir-min' as reg'lar as a human bein', and 1 could almost hear him chuckle.' "I didn't pay much attention to her words," explained Zeb, "but that was whar I missed it. What d'ye reckon that b'ar did that night? I'd shet him out by the door, and he knowed thar was danger on the roof, but he'd planned a way to git that kawg, and that's what he was grinnin' about. "That night he dug under the logs and got his pork, and he left a hole as big as a bar'l where he went in and cum out. I've alius reckoned that when he got up into the thickets with his meat he laughed fur an hour at the easy way he had beat me. Arter that I went out o' hawgs. knowin' I had no chance agin sich smartness. "Then thar was the case o' that b'ar who used to have a den about a mile west o' this. In his goin' and cumin' he made a reg'lar path, same as sheep. I sot a spring gun on the path and felt purty suah of my game, but he walked around the gun. Then I sot a big trap and kivered it all up, but he jumped over it. Then I laid out fur two hull nights to git a ftbot at him with my rifle, but lie went meanderin' some other way. I was powerful mad when I went home, and the old woman sees it and says: " 'It's no use, Zeb. That thar b'ar has got fun in him, and he's Iaughin' at yo\ He's probably a brother o" the one who got our hawgs. Better jess let him go and save yo'r temper.' "But I Wouldn't do it," said the old man. ',T made up my mind I'd have the best1 of that varmint befo' I got through. Next day I took the spade, and at a proper place on the path I dug a pit long 'miff and deep 'miff to hold an ox; took me two daj*s to do it, and when it was finished I kivered it over with sticks and leaves and dirt, and, upon my soul, nobody could tell that I'd bin diggin'. I was dead suah that old b'ar would cum along and go plunk to the bottom o' the pit, and between my back ache and thinkin' o' him I didn't sleep much that night. "Jest as soon as I could eat breakfast I was off, but when I got to the pit it was the same as when I had left it. That made me b'ilin' mad, and I started up the path to the cave to rout the varmint out. I wasn't keepin' the lookout I should have been, and all o' a sudden the critter jumped out on me. I I was so skeert that I dropped my rifle I ind turned and run, and lie followed <lus beliiud." "And you outran him, of course?" was asked as the old man paused and looked sheepish. "I was skippin' ahead o' the critter." he slowly replied, "when I cum to that pit. Befo' the Lawd, but I was so rattled I dun forgot all about it. and the { fust thing I knowed I broke through. The fall nigh broke my neck, and inebbe it was ten minits befo' I knowed whar I was. "Then I looked up, to find that old b'ar lookin' down, and if he wasn't reg'larly laugliiu' then may I never eat another yam. Why. sail, his sides was 1 shakin, and his mouth went cTar back ' to his ears, and when I realized how he 1 must feel I almost laughed with him. "He hung around fur half an hour, smilin' and chucklin', and then disap peared, and it was an uum i.-hu I got out o' the pit and got home. I was the maddest man in all this world, but I had to make the best of it. That b'ar had got the joke on me. and I knowed he was bound to cum out ahead every time.*' | "And you have other instances?" "Well, sah, I might tell vo' about the b'ar who hid in the cabin yere about five y'ars ago. "The varmint had bin hangin' around the place fur two or three months, but I couldn't never git a shot at him, nor would he put his foot into a trap. He was jest full o' tricks, and two or three times when I was sittin' on the steps and my rifle wasn't handy he'd show up and cock his eye and put on a grin. "I tried to pizen him, but he left the meat fur the foxes. I got dawgs arter him, but he only played with 'em. I had seven traps sot around the house one night, but the varmint cum and tipped over the rain bar'l and got away all rieht. One dav the old woman went visitin', and six men o' ns got together and beat lip the woods fur that b'ar. We sighted him twice and then lost him, and when night cum we had to give it up. Me and the old woman was talkin' about it at supper, and I says: "'I've started in fur b'ar, and I'll have that critter if I have to hunt the hull state over.' " 'No use,' says she. 'All .his actions go to show that he's a funny b'ar. and he'll be suak to cum out top o' the heap.' "Arter supper I went around back o' the cabin to tinker a hoop on a bar'l, and the old woman sot down on the doahstep with her pipe. Purty soon she gin an awful yell, and as I looked around she was tumblin' head over heels. Befo' the Lawd. sah, if that old ? b'ar wasn't standin' right in the doah, grinhin' and chucklin', and it was all of three minits befo' he took a stroll fur the woods and stepped oil as cool and calm as yo' please." 'But how did he come to be in the doorway?" was asked. "Why, sah, when we was huntin' him on the mountains he jest walked into the house, the old woman bein' out, and got under the bed and didn't cum out till he got good and ready. The fust thing the old woman knowed o' him was when he touched the back o' her neck with his cold nose. Yes, sah, he hid in this cabin fur above three hours, and then skeert the old [ woman and laughed at me, and drat my hide if he didn't make me a laughin' stock all over the country. "I'm sayin' and contendin' that b'ars are chuck full o' fun, and I'm almost believin' that if they had proper company fur six months yo'd h'ar 'em tellin' jokes to each other and laughin' like human bein's."

INTERESTING LETTER WRITTEN BY A NOTABLEWOMAN Mrs. Sarah Kellogrgr of Denver, Color Bearer of the Woman's Relief Corps, Sends ThankB to Mrs. Pinkham. lette r was w ri t te n A.ve., Denver, Colo., to Mrs.Pinkmrnm kam' kynn,Mhss.: was troubled^with a IHg|3n5i great mental depression. I was unable to attend to my house work,and life became a burden to me. I was confined for days to my bed, iost my appetite, my courage ana an nope. " I could not bear to think of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would be of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to sick women decided to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel better, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size. *'' The Compound continued to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to be absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a well woman. I am so thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish ray letter in newspapers, so other women may know of the wonderful curative powers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such trouble. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine: Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Health is too valuable to risk in experiments with unknown and untried medicines or methods of treatment. Remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and don't allow any druggist to sell you anything else in its place. R ;bert J.
