II STUDIED THE BEARS FOR AWHILE
AND LET DAD YELL FOR THE
POLICE,
| told dad we better 80 out and take
walk and inspect the scenery, cause
was all in the bill, and if you got
bum supper and didn't get the scenery
you We're losing money on the deal

ana we walked away or, and he talked
about how God had prepared that park
as a warning to sinners Of what was
tC come, and | knew his system was
sort of running down, and | knew he
needed excitement, shock, or some
thing, to make a reaction, so | steered
him around by the garbage pile
Say, before he knew it We we're
light in the midst Of about nine bears,
grizzlies, cinnamon bears, black bears,
and all of them raised up and said,
"Whoof!" ard they growed, and, by
pcsh, just as quick as could run this
knife into your liver, | missed dad lie
Just yelled: "Hennery. this is the linz
it, and here is where your poor old dad
sprints for tall timber and he made
for tree, and | yelled; Hurry up,
dad!" and be said; = amt walking,
am II" and you ought to have seen
lis short legs carry him to the tree,
and help him skin up it, have seen
squirrels climb trees, when a dog was
after them, but they were slow com
pared to dad When he got Jp to
limb he yelled to me to- come on up, as
he wanted to give me few last in
sructons about settling his estate but
I told him | was going to play | was
Daniel in the lions den, so studied
the bears for while and let dad yell
for the police, and then | picked up an
armful Of tomato cans and made
rush for the bears, and yelled and
threw cans at them, and pretty soon
every bear went off into the woods

my life Dad came down as quick ~
he went up, and took his arm ard
led him to the hotel, and when we got
to the room he would have collapsed,
only gave him big drink of whisky,
ond then he braccd up and said;
"Honnory, when it comes TO big game,
you and | are the wonders Of the
vcrld. You are brave, and | am dis
erect. and we make a team hard to
beat" told dad he covered himself
with glory, but that he left most of his
pants on the tree but he said he
didn't care for a few pants when he had
a boy that was the bravest that ever
came down the pike.

seeing the great necessity of utilizing
the pine lands of that section for agri,
cultural purposes after the timber Is
cut off, has again come to the fror
with a plan that he thinks will me
it the most prosperous agricultu
district OF the State. 1t is Il wCn
known fact that the light sandy lands
of that section, the mild climate and
abundant rainfall, all combine TO make
1t the ideal fruit and truck raising
section of the South A disadvantage
to be overcome was that the lines Of
transportation TO market were so long
and the freight charges, with addi-
tiona cost for refrigerated cars, so
high, that after the earlier stuffs had
been marketed there was little profit
left for the bulk of the crop. Captain
Hardy Is now engaged in organizing
a system whereby the producer can
can his fruits and vegetables and hold
until the price is good and the demand
brisk A factory organized on this
plan at Hattiesburg has canned 10000
gallons of cane syrup up to March |
