ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST

In the Ozark mountains OF Arkansas
lived one Allen Scipio. a colored gentle
tleman OF bear hunting fame. In fact.
this reputation dates back several gen
erations. As the old gentleman was
getting old, he called hls eldest son be-
fore him as he sat before the old-fash
ioned fireplace one October evening and
said: Look ha'ar, Bud, yo' fadder is
gittin' old, and a. | have the reputation
of bein' the best fba ar hunter in this
ha'ar United States for many a yeah,
and yo' gran 'fadder and great gran fad
der bore the same happy distinction, |
want yo' to take the Old tried and true
rifle and go out in the hills early in the
/ mo- min and start on yo' ba'ar huntin
, career that will perpetuate the Sciplo
4 family's name as the greatest ba ar
/ KILN family that ever lived. | want
4 yo' to start while I'ze alive, and il yo'
/ meet with the same amount of success
! that yo old fadder did when he was a
Young man. | can done told yo' right
/ Ina ar that my last days on earth will be
] the happiest." Next morning Bud
shouldered the old long-barrel rifle and,
with his fathers blessing, started on
/ his initial bear hunting trip. His old
father seated himself in the old hickory
bottom chair bsfege the fireplace, light
ing his pipe and NlIsing over his early
/ experiences IN bear bunting, and in this
way the time pAeAed very rapidly. 1t
was well in the afternoon before the old
1 gentleman was aware Of the fact. As
| his son did not return la began to get
uneasy for fear he had met with an ac-
1 cident Finally he could not stand II
no longer, so he took his cane and start
| ed in the direction that his son had
taken, but had not gone tar when he
saw his son coming down the mountain
ut racehorse speed. and a large grizzly
fright at his heels. As he came closer
1 he could see that he had lost his hat,
! but still had the rifle in his right hand.
/ The old man was frantic. Stepping IN
the path to stop his sons flight and
| bowling az him at the top of his voice,
'Stop, nigger> stop. What are yo
goin' to do; disgrace the whole family
Bud shouted to him, "Clear the gang
way, daddy I'm doing something YOU
never done in your life. I'm bringing
| him in alive Bud had two good rea-
sons to Justify his action. First, it's nc
disgrace to run if you are "skeered; :
| second, if he was OF humane disposi-
| ton and wanted to put hunting on
higher plane in the 20th century he
should receive due amount q credit,
and is sure to become second Booker
T. Washington.
