There was run" up 1t the little town
of Hamilton. Wash, last month that ought
to find its way into literature devoted to
queer things. Not that . run" is an odd
ity in the wild and woody West by any
means. We regret to say. but there never was
o run" like this one. Now the ordinary
run" is generally confined to banks, and 10
associated with long line of frantic peo-
pie and bank president with pailid fea-
lures, agitated nerves and . forced smile.
There was no bank president in this case,
no long line Of horny handed depositors
and no locking OF doors and putting mp Of
an announcement OF failure. Not for
Hamilton. Your average Hamiitonian,
some evil-disposcd man might say. puts
his money in stocking or in
an empty stove and cares not
for banks, but this il an
unkind reflection and has no place here.
The run" in question was on grocery
store belonging to the Washington Red
Cedar Shingie Company. and il the pro-
priefors have had time to take . breath
between the laughs by this time. they will
tell you more about it than the Lumberman
will. A run" on q grocery store
is about the funniest thing-for the
proprie;or-that can happen, and We
fancy that We can hear the echo of robust
"hai hal" even now from the direction Of
Hamilton. and can see file of men, each
carving q ham or side Of bacon, disap-
pearing in the forest. 1t was started i'm q

their minds to discourage this habit OF

fused TO pay the disconsoiate nler until

The American black bear has an ap-

ed elastic He will kill a thousand
pound steer or capture the tiny field
mouse for a meal with equal indiffer-

He will feast on dainty birds eggs
or sweet stores of wild honey and on the
foulest carrion with like gusto. He will
fish for the savory trout, but at the

lizard that may happen along that way.
He will seek the luscious wild plum
