by the dogs. Tige and Prince had jumped far over
the bears and landed at the top of steep little de-
cvity. down which they rolled twenty or thirty
feet to the bottom They were confused by their
tumble that they spun round and round for
ment like dog chasing his tail.
IL was going too fast to stop when saw Balser

father in few hours hunting, could easily fill

When I about twelve years old, father
bought rifle for and began to take me out
hunting with him. In addition to venson for the
table we hunted coons, wolves, foxes, minks, and
beavers for the sake of their fur and father brought
home many dollar from the sale of pelts In those
days there many bears too, and for several
reasons we loved to hunt them. First they killed
our sheep and pigs. Bears are more fond of pig-a
tender little squeaker-than you all are of circus
candy. 1t was impossible to keep them away from
our little pigs and that was one reason liked to
kill the bears We also liked the meat of young
fat bear. and good whole bearskin was worth ten

hunt deer too; for their meat was de-
licious. and their hides sold for two
shillings-ffty cents. Even fifty cents
looked big then.
Father and l killed many wolves
and foxes too; but of all the game that
prowled the forest, l loved best to
hunt bear There was the spice of
danger in it, and when we killed bear,
we not only felt proud of our achieve
ment, but we had something worth
while for our labor

fourteen years old, father and l

were hunting deer that morning, and
although they were willing to help,

tune and lost her job by reason of
her insistence upon more garments
than were desired by the producers
of "Me, Him and l." Thereupon she
sued for $8,450 for alleged breach of
contract, and the case came up for
trial today in the Supreme Court be-
fore Justice Gerard and a jury. Miss
Lee told of the successive abbrevia-
tions of her costumes by the manage
ment until her skirts reached an alti-
tude to which she objected and her
bodice receded quite as far as she
thought proper.
Then, she declared, plans and speci-
fications for a still more shrinking
costume were submitted to her and
she was directed to have a costume
built upon these lines. Miss Lee re-
fused and received a written notice
that her services were no longer
needed.
The jury awarded her $4,700, the
amount of salary she would have
earned under her contract had she
not been discharged for refusing to
appear In tights.
