Men With Larlats Capture Rum
Drinking Hruln After Very
Hard Struggle.

Boston.-How a big bear that was
rather tipsy from copious draughts OF
rum and molasses was captured with
lariats In the wilds of Maine after d
long struggle was told by DIR. J. +. r.
Biron OF Amesbury, says the Post.

sized bear was about the camps fire.
quently at night" said the doctor. AT
first we thought that we would lay for
bruin and shoot him In cold blood.
Then one member of the party brought
TO mind the fact that bears are inordi.
nately fond OF booze. especially rum.
we mixed up a dose OF rum with
moiasses. The stuff was placed In n
pan and set where the bear could not
help finding 1t.
THE next morning as soon as 1t
was daylight VIC started on hunt
bear l had to laugh. His eyes were
red and he was eagerly tapping water
from n spring. If 1t is possible for n
bear to look bedraggled that bear
looked the part.
Although the bear was somewhat
the worse for wear, and lurched
slightly as he walked, 1t was appar.
ent that we would have our hands full
in bringing him to camp. even after he
was roped.
"A lucky cast OF one of the ropes
about the animals neck caused a
growl and a display of fine looking
teeth. The next instant another rope
settled about the bears neck and with
two husky guides hanging on for dear
life, we had what looked like an easy
capture. But we were reckoning with.
out our host, for Mister Bear started
through the woods at speed that was
surprising, the two guides bobblng
along in his wake like kedge anchors.
Every now and then they would try to
snub the ropes on trees. but as time
was limited they didn't have the OPP
portunity to make good and fast

with another rope about n hind leg we

struggled hard, but with no success.
I'VE finally succeeded in getting the
bear to camp by tying him up In good
shape and making what woodmcn call

tame enough to eat from the hand.
And, strange to say, he learned no
good lessons from his rum jag, for the

that a thoughtful guest had provided.
