Gentleman as saying that "good roads

walking in the woods saw what he thought
to be a young hedgehog and fired 1t it
with his revolver. When he came up to
his game, however he found it to lie a
bear cub. His shot had wounded it, but
not fatally, and he accordingly took i up
in his arms and started for home. The
cries of the captive soon brought mad
anne Bruin in hot pursuit, but Hasiins
held on to the cub until he had lost his
coat-tail and good share of his paata-

take a seat in the fork of a tree. Afr a
long curtain lecture from Mrs. B. he vas
