had a bear that could perform many
tricks 1t could dance, sit down in a
chair and drink from bottle. It
could climb a pole about fifteen feet
high.
Its master would give him a hat and
he would pass it around to the crowd
and nod his head as If TO say, How do.
This master tied the bear back Of
the restaurant while he was eating his
supper. The bear broke loose ana
went about two blocks to nice lawn
where there was some large elm trees.
Mr.. Bear climbed up In one of the
largest Of them. 1t was 80 feet to the
nearest limb. When his master came
out of the restaurant with the bears
supper he was surprised to find his
bear gone. He then set out to hunt
him. 1t did not take long to find the
bear for the owner of the lawn saw
him climb UP in the tree and notified
the bears master. The master had to
coax him several hours to get him
down. The next morning about Z
o'clock he passed our house going TO
another town. That was the way the
man made his living. He could hardly
speak a word of our language.
Yours truly
Bessie G. Costello.
