and weighs perhaps $50 pounds. Big
Jephtha Hounds is SO years old, Little
Jephtha is 20 years younger.
To emphasize the anomaly, Little
Jephtha Hounds, the six-footer, was
never anything but retiring, entirely
unobtrusiye person, content with his
fiddle, his little farm and his glass of
sweet cider in the kitchen before going
to bed. He never owned a gun, he never
spent day in the lumber woods, he
never was one night away from home
in his life. Whereas Big Jephtha
Hounds, with his five feet of stature
and his 100 or SO pounds of weight,
steered raft from pretty near the
keadwaters clear to Pittsburgh before
he was %, and never struck so much
as snag. That same season he
whipped Injin Ben, who had whipped
pretty much everybody on the Broken
straw. Cider wasn't good enough for
Big Jephtha, unless it was terribly hard
and plenty of it. Rum and tansy was
his fayorite tipple. He would take a
bear track on Monday and follow that
track night and day until the follow
ing Monday, if he didn't get the bear
sooner. If the bear led him a chase
longer than that he would say he didn't
want it, because a bear that kept ahead
OF him a week would be too much 'het
up" and too thin for healthful USE
If a panther made it's presence known
anywhere in the neighborhood, Big
Jephtha Hounds was the first to go
out to hunt that terror down, and his
success as panther hunter was great.
Long after the panthers We're gone he
was terror to bears and great slayer
of deer. Twenty years ago, while on a
bear hunt, he fell over high ledge Of
rocks and broke his leg. lie dragged
himself four miles to the Bridge settle
ment, where DR.. Balloon told him that
his leg would have to be amputated.
eff that's the best you can do" said
Big Jephtha, "cut her off,
The doctor cut the leg off below the
knee, and Big Jephtha watched him do
it without a culver. Little Jephtha
help Big Jephtha during the ordeal,
but when the doctor began the opera
tion Little Jephtha tainted dead away,
and they had to carry him out of the
room. Big Jephtha was around on
clutches in a month or so, and by and
by he got a wooden leg. He was just
as full of snap as ever, and declared he
wouldn't hesitate minute to go after
u deer or bear just the same as of old,
but he'd "be darned if he thought he
could stand seem bears he might be
follerin' turn round and laugh at Big
Jephtha Hounds for carryin' clog"
1t is the custom of bear trappers to fas-
ten wooden clog to their traps, and
frequently when bear is trapped he
will prove smart enough to pick the
clog up and carry it. Big Jephtha
compared himself and his wooden leg
to a bear carrying clog.
About that time they built the Mil
ler's creek toll bridge, and a tolltal<er
was necessary. They chose Big Jeph-
tina Hounds for the place, built him a
snug little house at The end of the
bridge, and there he has sat for nearly
90 years, taking toll and telling stories
of his long life in the woods. There 1
visited him, and there he said to me as
above:
I'm sorry you wasn't here 60 years

gether encouragin'. when teller didn't
care to have much meat. to find that he
had two or three carcasses on his hands
to cut up and lug to his cabin, it not be-
in jist the thing to do tc leave 'em lying
in the woods for wolves an panthers
to gnash their teeth on.
"Speakin' O. panthers, I never saw
much fun in huntin' 'em. Yet 1
never run out O. the woods cause I
heard one around. When 1 come to
think of it, guess I've rather sided
out o my way considerable more'n once
to see what kind O. stuff painters had
in 'em. I done big favor for nice
fat doe once. came onto her fast
asleep in bed O. ferns, aud she never
heard me. 1 stood within 20 foot of
her, lookin' her over, and considerin'
whether to wake her up and give her
chance to run, or to tickle her with a
bullet as she laid there, or to let her
have her nap out, when all of sudden
somethin' dropped out of tree jist
over her head and lit on her like ton
o lead. 1t was stumpin' big panther,
and hadn't seen a thing of him not
till he dropped. Whether he had got
his eye on me or not, don't know, but
If he had, he hadn't seen any reason
why that should make any difference
in the gittin' of his dinner. The doe
woke up mighty sudden, and no mis-
take. If you had heard her holler you'd
have thought some one was l1illin' a
calf. But the panther made mis-
take if he thought my bein' there
wasn't goin' to spoil his dinner, for he
hadn't time to set his teeth in the does
throat before my old fintlock Joined
in the music. 1t sang so loud that the
panther jumped 20 feet, and when he
lit he paved up considerable more than
rod or two of earth, and then ceased
to continue bein' livin' creature.
IF that doe hadn't been scared to
death she couldn't have been broke up
worse than she was over bein' woke up
SO sudden. She stood there, shivcrin'
and shakin'. l knew that the chances
was that the panther's mate was nosin'
round there, and that it would 1aore
than likely gather the doe in anyhow,
so, to save her, l turned my old fintlock
on her, too, and put her out O. danger.
She never knew what favor had done
her. But the saddles was nice and fat
and juicy, an took my pay out O.
them for dom her the favor.
Eyes, it's bad you wasn't here 60
years and better. You'd seen some
fun then for sure. Good day. If you
go by little Jephtha Hounds step in.
He'll give you tin cup of nice cider,
and maybe play you Money Musk on
the fiddle.'-N Y. Sun.
