Shortly thereafter the young man

Two hours later he wandered into the

under the table, ordered a cocktail

Mr.. McIlhenny will entertain President Roosevelt
at the historic Mcllhenny homestead, on Avery
Island. La. where generation after generation OF
the Mcllhenny elan has grown rich in raising pep
pers and tu-ning them into sauce.
Since the beginning of the month prepara-
tons for the hunt have been in progress,

complished hunter, and accompanied the
President on his Mississippi trip in 1903.

Tensas Parish the Hunting Ground.
According to the schedule, as now ar
ranged, the President will be in Memphis
October ). From there the party will go
down the Mississippi to the third parish
from the northc boundary of Louisiana,
Tensas-prCnounced "Tensaw." The hunt
ers will go into the woods October and
will probably stay there a fortnight, during
which time the President will be "incom-
municado," except for a daily visit of
courier to the nearest telegraph and mail
station
Besides Mr.. McIlhenny and Capt. Parker
the Presidents companions the eX-
petition will be DIR. Alexander Lambert of
New York, Surgeon General RiXey, who
will go the Presidents physician, and
Mr.. Metcalf of Louisiana. Hoke Collier,
the colored runter WHO will go on the Mis-
sissippi hunt, will be taken on this trip
also. Mr. McIlhenny says this man is the
best bear hunter he ever saw. Plenty of
servants, to look after the comfort of the
hunters and attend to their horses, will
swell the outfit to a good-sized caravan.
Brutus Jackson. colored, former kennel
master for Mr. McIlhenny, and man
ager of a cotton plantation, will also ac-
company the party.
Bear Not Guaranteed.

that If forethought can assure Mr.. Roose-
welt of bear steak, from animal shot

been said, Capt. Parker, with large force
of men. has been busy getting ready for
the hunt for the last ten days and it is
estimated that it will take about all of
the rest of the month to get things in
shape for the hunters The need of this
preparation is caused by the nature of the
section where the bears are to be hunted
and the method by which the hunt is to be
carried on.

Cutting Swaths in Canebrakes.

When bears are started by the dogs they
make straight for the canebrakes. 1t IS
obvious that it would be impossible to shoot
them in that refuge and to sit around and
wait for the bear to come from his impene-
trable asylum, even with dogs after him,
would be more like the task of the patient
fisherman than the pleasure Of the eager
hunter.
Here is where the work of preparation
comes in.
The canebrakes are all very long and
narrow, in comparison to their width. The
bear to keep under cover the greatest
length of time, advances the long way of
the brake, keeping ahead of the dogs. To
get chances at the bear, Mr.. Mcllhenny is
having trails cut across the brakes at
frequent intervals. The plan is for hunt
ers to station themselves. one at each cross
path after the bear has taken to the brake
and fire at him as the animal crosses the
alley, getting shot after bruin has
emerged from the brake at one side of the
long clearing and before he gets a chance
to disappear amid the canes or the other
side.
When the dogs are put in after bear the
hunters, all mounted. will gather near in
the open forest. AS soon as {. bear is start
ed and IT becomes evident which direction
he is taking. the horsemen will ride ahead
and station themselves at the various arti-
fetal openings in the brake where the bear
has hidden himself.

Bear Easily Outstripped.

1t will be easy enough for them to get to
their stands ahead of the bear, because the
animal will be making his way slowly
through the dense canes, while the hunters
viii be able to ride comparatively fast in
the open woods.
After that it is up to the sportsmen and
their skill with the shooting-iron.
The Louisiana black bears are not so
large as their northern brothers, but they
are not small, by any means. A full-grown
specimen weighs from 400 to 800 pounds,
40 pounds being about the average weight.
There is plenty of other game in Tensas
parish. Virginia deer. somewhat smaller
than those of this region, are abundant.
