Rousing a Bear.

I'VE don't have lobster salads and
Manhattan cocktails out in our state,
said the Idaho man, but now and then
a thing happens to break the dull mo-
notony just the same. For instance,
last December went up into the noun
tains with fe1ler named Bill Harper
for a hunt. One day I went out alone
and got lost and did not get back to the
shanty till 10 o'clock at night. Bill had
got scared and was out lOOkin' for me.
I was never so cold in my life. I saw
Bill in bed, and I got my clothes off
and jumped in beside him.
g Hitch along, Bill says l. as I found
him taking more than half of the bed
He uttered sort Of a grunt which
I took to mean that he was going to
stay right where he was, and so
hauled UP my cold feet and planted
them in the small of his back. The eff
feet was instantaneous. He uttered a
wool and a whoop and piled out of that
bed and out of doors in a. hurry, and I
was just dropping to sleep when in
walks Bill and says:
Why in Texas did you leave the
door open?'
I didn't
Then he looks IN the snow outside
and comes and smells of the bed, and
in about a minute we knew what had
happened
And what was it ?''
"A grizzly bear had come in while
Bill was gone and gone to bed. Then I
had come along and gone to bed with
the bear. If I had tried to rouse him
out with a shot or a stab he would have
made cats meat of men in no time. but
those cold feet in his back took him by
surprise and scared the life out of him
We measured his tracks next morning.

the door sill was exactly nineteen feet
