Tunis Smith is the great Greene township
bear hunter whose singular magnanimity to-'
ward family OF bears the SUN recently Incn-
toned This was the family Of bears he dis
covered in the woods last March. 1t consisted
OF big and savage mother and three cubs
The cubs were but few days old. The hunt
er's first impulse was TO put ball through the
old bear and carry tho baby bears home, but
on second thought he resolved to spare the
family. He did not bslisve the young bears
would live without their mothers care, and he
forosaw better sport with them some months
later lie therefore did what probably no
other bear hunter in Pike county would hnvo
done-passed on and left the bears undis-
| turbsd
| But lo kept lookout for them, and a couple
OF weeks ago had the satisfaction of discover
ing that the three cubs had grown to be more
than half Us large rs their mother. fat as pigs,
! and with coats Of fur the blackest and gloss
lest Tho mother was also in superb coat and
excellent condition. SO Tunis Smith gathered
! in one of the cubs. and u day or two lator took
