Awaking Hunter Thought He Was in e
Land of Fairy Phenomena.
Once upon time-it was in 1853,
to be exact-a hunter in pursuit of a
wounded bear found himself at night
fall In a dark forest. The air was dry
and warm, and being weary. he
stretch himself upon the pine needles
which covered the ground. and went
/ TO sleep. He awoke at daylight and
when he saw what kind of forest
he was in. he rubbed his eyes and
pinehed himself to make sure he was
not dreaming. On every side were
monster trees. such as no man had
ever seen before They reared their
heads seemingly into the blue sky.

hunter felt ike CULVER did in Brob-

see the huge forms of giants come
stflding through the forest. He knew
that if the tallest church of his native
town was set down in this wood the
cross upon the pinnacle OF its spire
would be shaded by the branches as
would a dolls house beneath an apple
tree. He walked mp TO one of the trees

full extent, be elasped the bark. Then
he moved sidewise. placing his left
fingers where his right hand had been
spreading his arms as before. He re-
peated this again and again. and he
did it twenty times before he had cir
eled the trunk. This hunter was A. u.

turned to civilization, his description
