unarmed.
Accordingly he threw a bit of pork
into the road, at the same time yell
ing to the bear to direct its attention
to the meat. The bear dropped down
and went and picked it up, but as
soon as It was swallowed and there
was no more forthcoming he made an
other charge upon the wagon
The teamster started the mules on
ward, but knew that he could not hope
to escape with his heavy load Of bark.
An idea struck him. He would coax
the bear on by feeding the lunch to
him until they should come to a
friends house a mile or two along the
road. Then he would get gun and
shoot the old fellow
The teamster sat on the bark. facing
backward, his big dinner bucket at
hand. When the bear came up with
the wagon and threatened to climb
upon the load the teamster tossed out
a piece Of pork. The supply of this
edible was limited, so he tossed the
beast slice of bread. which fell but

At length the teamster saw his friend

had fair start, but he stumbled over
a stone and fell full length, and the

Never Again to Fool With Bear.
A teamster in the employ of one of
the big tanneries In the west had a
laughable yet trying adventure with a
bear while on bis way from the woods
with load of bark. AS he emerged
from the woods with his team he
stopped to give the mules a breathing
spell and to eat his dinner, which he
carried N a tin bucket. He had
scarcely opened his bucket and begun
to eat when a bear came out Of the
woods on one side Of the road. only
two or three rods in the rear of the
wagon. Bruin sauntered along, paying
no attention to the team, but the team
ster, DESTROYS OF seeing what the bear
would do, threw bit of salt pork In
his way. The bear stopped, smelled at
the pork and gulped 1t down greedily.
Then the animal. noting the source
Of the morsel, came toward the wagon
and rose on his launches as If to say
that another bit of pork would prove
acceptable.
The teamster laughed and tossed out
Q second piece. which bruin devoured.
and then he posed again. But the
teamster wanted the rest Of his dinner
himself and paid no attention to the
shaggy intruder. The beggar, seeing
that the teamster was no longer aware
OF his presence, snorted sharply two or
three times and walked back and forth
across the road as If accommodating
the situation. Presently he growled.
but the teamster, thinking that the
beast would go away If he got nothing
further, continued his meal.

climbed up the load Of bark at the
hind end Of the wagon. The man was
