WIFE COULDN'T REFORM HIP It Remained Fop Two Bear# to Brin Him to Hi# Proper Senses, and The Did the Reforming Act in Shor Order. [Copyright, 1906. by C. H. Sutcliffe.] "I reckon that every man on thes yere mountings was brung up alonf side of a whisky jug," said old Ze White one evening as we sat at hi fireside. "That don't mean that a] are drunkards. It means that thev'v bnnwn what whiskv was from til time they was bo'n, and while sorn take to it others let It alone. I kee] it in the house, as you know, but give you my word I haven't had m; nose to the jug fur the last five yean I hain't sayin' that I didn't drink m; full sheer up to that time, bekase I dtf I reckon I got away with as mucl 1/ yw ~ 1__J "BETWEEN MB AXD HER WAS TWO B ARS. moonshine as any other critter fur te; miles around, and I was fool 'null t feel proud of the fact. "When I was married, fifteen year ago. my wife thought she could reforr me. Mebbe I went a leetle light fur year or so. but the reformln' didn't r? form. I'd promise and promise, bu as soon as I got out with a crowd I' fill up. The only good thing about m gettin' drunk was the fact that never raised a row at home. I sin ply wanted to git home and to bet and if left alone I'd.sleep it off b; next day. I had beeu sober fur thre months when .town meetin' day com along. When I got readj* to leav home the old woman said: "*Zeb, you've been livin' like a d< cent human bein' fur some time pas Are you com in' home drunk or sobe tonight V " 'Sober as a stump,' I replied, uc feariu' myself at all. " 'Why not let towu meetin' slide?' 44 'I couldn't. I've promised to b thar to vote.' " 'Thar'll be heaps and heaps c whisky thar. won't they?' she asked. " 'Fur shore. But don't you be afeare fur me. I give you my word that won't drink nuthln' stronger'n lemoi ade." "That was a lively town meetin*. wit whisky flowin' like water, and. jthoug I held out agin it fur an hour or so. had to take a drink at last. Then fo lered a second and a third, and b night I was roarin' drunk and fightii everybody. They started to take m 1 .. ***- K..+ n.linn n mSU fi-ftr uuiue iu a i-aii, uui much ? j.iv* my cabin I got out and wouldn't g any further and was left there. 1 was a bright and beautiful moonligl night. I could jest remember tha How I got home after leavin' the cai I never could recall. I didn't kno^i when I reached here ard fell down i front of the house. The fust thing knowed was that somebody was pullii me around in a mighty rough way. opened ihy eyes and sot up. and tha was the old woman on the (loahstej and between me and her was tw b'ars. They would look at her and the at me. and it was their hrtulin" m around that had roused me up. wasn't sober yit. you understand, bv could reason things out after a fashioi 44 'Why don't you git the gun an shoot the b'arsV I called to the old wc man, but she never 'peered to notic me. The b'ars did. however. The turned from her to me and begun sort o* hossplay. One of them fetche me a sort of cuff on the ear tha stretched me out and made my hoa ring fur a week arter, and then the begun playin* ball with my body, knowed them fur b'ars. and I knowe that it would be all play until I trie to git away from tin . ' or fit back. "Well. suh. 1 can't begin to tell yo what them thar b'ars put me throug that night. They rolled me over an over: they dragged me about feet fir? and head first: thev pulled me down t the pigpen and then pulled me back the.r used their teeth and claws onl; in play, but they left marks l>ehln< that didn't go away fur two months Every time they rented I called out t the old woman, but she wouldn't at swer. Sometimes she looked at me i n nitvin' wsiv. and sometimes she wa laugliin' at the way I was tosse about. The rifle was on its hooks i the house aim loaded, and in tha moonlight she could have shot one o the varmints through the heart, bu she wouldn't move to do it.. "I reckon them b'arg sported wit ..... - .... ... ( ( me fur half an hour or so befo' they had had 'nuff of play. By that time 1 )g was in rags^and jest as sober as you are now. I have thought some of takin' out a patent on that adventure of mine. That drunk oiter have lasted if me the best part of three days, but the b'ars cured me of it in about forty minits. SeeiiT the old woman would do nothin', my line was to play dead and hope the varmints would g.t tired l/J and go away. They got tired of th*.* play, but they wasn't through with me then. They began to growl and show sign of madness, and I called out to ^ the old woman: y " 'Mary, can't you see that they all are dun gittin' mad?' " 'I kin,' she said, speakin' fur the first time and speakin' mighty kecre lessly at that. r_ "'They all v^ill begin to bite and b claw in airnest now.' s " 'They will fur shore.' II " 'Hain't yo' gwine to do anything to e help me?' e " 'Nothin' tall. Zeb. A man who e can't stay sober had better be dead, and it don't make no difference whethj er he falls from a tree or gits clawed up by b'ars.' y ~ . " 'But yo' wouldn't see yo' own husband perish befo' you' eyes, I take it'?' I " Til think it over. If yo' are gwine ^ to live on, yo' got to keep sober arter i this. It will be well fer yo' to have some scars to p'int to. Arter yo' have been half killed mebbe I'll do sunthin', but it does seem pizen mean* to drive the b'ars away when they're bavin' so much fun.' "Jest then the old he b'ar took a long look into my face and then uttered a growl that made chills shake me all over. He knowed me, and I knowed him. He was a b'ar I had hunted fer three years, and he had three of my bullets in his body at that very minnit. Yes, suh, that critter knowed me fer Zeb White, the man who never yit had mercy on a b'ar, and he seen that his time had come to git even. He hauled off and gin me a swat that almost stove in my ribs and then bit me twice. His mate pitched in, and - fur the hext two minnits I was mauled about between 'em like a rag doll. It was no use of my tryin' to make a fight fur it. They was all over me all the time, and even if I had a knife it wouldn't have helped me out. "What sent the pesky critters off at ? - last was the old woman shootin' down the he b'ar, but I was left in a powerQ ful sad state. I had skeercely a stitch 0 of clothes left on me, and I was one mass of bites and claw marks. I had 3 to be dragged into the house and boosta ed into bed. and I didn't tech toe to a the floor fer three weeks to come. I hadn't any bones broke, but the claw * marks and bites of a b'ar don't heal d fur a long time. Durin' all the time I 7 was in bed and sufferin' the old worn1 an kept whisky under my nose. I had i- the scent of it until I pos'tivelv hated L it and begged her to take it away. 7 The hull thing taken together worked ? a cure so thorough that, though I run ? a moonshine still fur three years, I ? never tasted a drop of the stuff." "Did Mrs. White have anything to -- say to you after you got better?" I t- asked. r "Never a word," he answered. "What was the use? If all that b'ar play wouldn't stop a man from makin' a fool of himself ag'in, then words would be thrown away. No, sub. she ? never done said a word, and that's . why I reckon she's jest the nicest and best wife in this yere state of Tennessee." M.
