wolves strewed in the yard an outside
the fence. Mother mornin' found
nine, an they was ripped an stomped
uncommon awful! AFTER that, wolves
give that clcarin' O mine the go-by, l
tell ye, an was sorry, fer the steer
jist pined an pined an one night
jumped the fence an went away I
couldn't find him to git him back, but
heerd on him now M then. lie was
spendin' his time In the woods huntin'
wolves, an when the last wolf that
was left in the lnjin creek deestric' got
lonesome an dug out toards the set
tin sun, think that steer follered his
trail, cause | never heerd O him nor
the wolf ag'in.
Zone night woke up, down yonder
on the clearin, an hccred my two pigs
n sQuealin', an my COW an the oxen
bellcrin' an thumpin'in the barn like
as II they'd kick II down.

an hustled out to see what the fuss
was MI about. The moon was shinin'
most like day, an as | trotted over
toard the pig pen see what the
trouble was. Two big bears was In the
pen workin' their very pooticst to hist
one o my pigs out over the side o the
pen, which was only sort of a square
concern, laid up with logs four foot
high
Pork is pork says. i hain't ben
