SAGACITY CF ELACK BEAR Guide Called “John Bull” Tells Stories of the Animal’s Marvelous . Cunning. - . One of the guides for the Red river expedition of 1852, called “John Bull,” was a famous bear hunter and regaled the officers with many stories. One of the officers in his journal says that the guide’s statements were repeatefid; to him by several Indians, in whose
veracity he had much confidence®. He adds: “I have no doubt they are strictIy true” - : ; P The guide said the black hear had greater sagacity than «fmost any other guadruped, says KFaunce Rochester, Before making a bed the bear always goes several hundred yards with the wind, the officers were told, “at a distance from his tracks.” . Any enemy approaching along his track must come with the wind and be detected by the animal’s keen nose. : .
When a black bear hides in a cave in earth or rock and a hunter tries to gmoke him out the bear will not rush forth to be shot, but, masked from view by the smoke, will come as far as the smoldering fire, put it out with bis forepaws and then return to his hiding place. . #
John, it muyst be admitted, rather weakened his case when he described the behavior of the bear in being pursued by a hunter into a cave. The hunter, in addition to his rifle, of course carried a torch. Instead of being a very dangerous adventure for the hunter, John insisted the bear, on beholding the light, would sit upright and hold his paws over his face and eyes and remain motionless so long as the torch burned. Without risk, the hunter approached close and slaughtered the foolish fellow. =
Why a hunter should bother to “smoke” out the bear when he can so conveniently crawl into the hole and kill him without risk John is not recorded as saying.—Adventure Magazine, : . .
AT THE MAISON HOGRELLE
Restaurant and Grocery Near Camp Coetquidan in Brittany Was Transformed by Doughboys. :
Near Camp Coetquidan in Brittany was the town of Guer. On the outgkirts of the town was a combination restaurant and grocery store kept by the widow Hogrellee. When the first Americans arrived in the camp it was possible to get a supper of broiled chicken, with all the fixings, done in the real French style over an open fire of brush, for 5 francs (about $l, American). Two young girls, Vivienne and Jfiermaine, assisted in serving the patrons, says Leonard H. Nason. Vivienne was inclined to be a little fleshy, and .Germaine had no teeth, but otherwise they were very wingome. . ;
The Americans, however, delighted in astonishing the French by throwing 20 franc notes about, ordering champagne by the dozen, and otherwise behaving as if they were all millionaires. This had a very demoralizing effect upon the Maison Hogrelle, and when the writer returned there in the fall of 1918, after the number of Americans in France had risen from 200,000 to 2,000,000, the price of a chicken supper was 40 francs, champagne extra at 15 francs the bottle. Vivienne was wearing corsets, so that she looked like a pillow with a string tied about its middle, and Germaine had a set of false teeth.—Adventure Magazine,
Earned His Handout.
Since the war, Hollywood has been flooded with beggars, who are ablebodied men, but simply -too lazy to work - and .excuse their husky appearance by claiming they are ex-serv-ice men who have been gassed.?® They do a great injury to real ex-service men and are a nuisance, but the other day one stopped at a house and made a hit.
“I'm giving you this quarter,” said the lady of the house, “not because you deserve it, but because it pleases me to give it to you.” “Thanks,” said the mendicant, “but couldn’t you make it a dollar and thoroughly enjoy yourself?”
o Her Radie. : “I was very so{'ry for your wife during the sermon this morning,” remarked Doctor Brougher to a regular parishioner a few Sundays ago. “That violent fit of coughing centered the eyes of the entire comgregation upon her and she must have been terribly embarrassed.”
“PDon’t distress yourself,” retorted the lady’s husband. “My wife was wearing her new hat for the first time,” and he winked knowingly.
Undaunted Youth.
- “He keeps calling on the fickle girl in spite of the fact that she jilted h“lm.” : S g :
“Yes,” replied Miss Cayenne. “And he’ll probably have his revenge. He fsn’t much of a Romeo, but he is a wonderful oil stock salesman.”
