Now, as to the kind: find that those

is to buy white or unbleached Turkish

The din of battling bears, the fight

making the pine woods ring. and yet
another one came hurrying across from

looking down upon herd of seven
grizzlies. the biggest bunch ever saw

were pretty nearly all fighting; it was
the prettiest fight remember. barring
a fight l once saw in broad daylight be-

mountain lions. If it had only been
daylight believe the big bear fight un-

for good square show.
As the last bear came and joined the
crowd. Sagebrush called ont to say
that ever mothers son of grizzly had
forsaken his tree. and asked Us to hold
them while he climed down to pick up
his gun. 1t was not at all difficult to
grant this request, for the bears seemed
to have no idea of running away yet.
although three of them were wounded
and making things mighty uncomfort-
able for the other four.
