for his bravery for miles around id

hunting he tracked bear to,.a small
cave. Now a man hasn't one chance

gun he put HIS knife between his teeth
and crawled into the dark hole after
the animal. z
BY the greatest good fortune he sue
ceeded In killing 1t. for the reason that
the cave was SO small that the bear
couldn't turn around to defend him

have been different story. Isl
Hiram skinned the bear. and then
went home, where he explained the
manner Of the killing to his father.

to recall the fact that one OF the pos

This is an item which naturally does
not appear in the reports of our for

These expenses of Americans in En-

abroad isa natiirally largest in. sum t6er,
and it Is during this season that the
effect of this particular feature ,of,the
