Tom two inches In height. but he wasn't as

she could look over the heads OF both Tom and
Jim. for she stood q feet 6ii inches.
But John was the big boy OF the family.
He only lacked an inch OF being seven feet

"My friend Jim Sheldon Of Cooper City. on

but once in his life. but he had a great day Of
it the time he did go. There were a number OF
elk hanging around in that vicinity. and jim
got 1t In his head that he wanted some elk
meat. don't know whether he wanted elk
meat because a cheeky she grizzly bear. with
three cubs. had been playing hob with his
stock Of beef cattle for couple Of
weeks and he felt as II he couldn't
afford to cat besi. or whether he wanted
elk meat just for the fun OF getting 1t. ANY,
how he mounted burro one day and started
out after an elk. He got on the track OF one.
and. thinking he could sneak up on 1t and get
q shot at It surer by going on foot than he could
by riding. he dismounted and let tho burro
take care Of itself. The contrary little cuss
went right on ahead Of Jim. and wouldn't
come back. In less than five minutes he was
out OF sight.
