Cubs Became Fierce

After we had had the cubs a few
months and they had grown consid-
erabIy, they began TO get pretty
rough and fierce in their play, and
when, at the age of a year and a
half, they began to think it funny,
once in a while, to knock dog clear
off the ground, so that he would de-
scribe a paraboIic curve in the air
before he came Gown again,
thought it time to get rid of them
and gave them to the zoo.
we got most fun out of the bear
cubs watching them take their daily
bath. They enjoyed the tuD as much
as ever a human being did, and in
sisted on it as regularly. At least,
whenever, for some reason OF other,
they didn't get it, they were cross
and wouldn't play
When they were still quite small
they all bathed together IN one tub,
which I made for them by saving
an old oil barrel in two, arter which
! set it into the ground out on the
lawn. I would put eight or ten inch
es of water into that half barrel and
put them all in together, and they
would sit there and zap like puppies,
having the time of their lives. Fin
ally l guessed maybe they'd like It
if l put a little ice into the water.
Well, sir, | guessed just right You
never saw such happy bears as they
were in the bath arJer that.
'One day we forgot to put in the
ice. and the cubs made a great fuss.
They whfmpered and whined; they
scolded and sw0re. Then they clam
bered out in the most disgusted way
and they wouldn't get IN again till
the ice was put in. 1t finally got so
they would investigate the water in
the tub every time berore getting in:
no ice, no bath for the bears, and
that was all there was about it

We gave them the freedom of

never had anything around that gave
us more pleasure than those bears.
They were quite as playful as young

even when the bears We're young they
had a little more dignity than the

"One of the most amusing things
