Disciple Must Follow Master.

The nearer we approach to God in
our spiritual life and fellowship. the
larger our sympathies for humanity,
and the more universal our ministry
in the world. The mission of Christ
is the mission of every Christian. He
came and lived and died to save the
world. The disciple is not better than
his master.-Anon.

The object of all the public worships
in the world Is the same; it is that

everything. The different manners Of
worship are by no means subjects Of
ridicule. Each set thinks its own the

While our principal interest had
been in the hide as trophy oi tue
bunt the natives manifested from
the beginning a lively desire to get
hold of the meat and bear grease
and shortly after arrival at camp
they had the meat strung over the
fire for the purpose OF frying anu

BEAR HUNTING in ALASKA


Jim John said that bear could
catch and kill deer. and destroyed lots
of them in the Spring, a statement
we were quite skeptical about until
convinced by thorough examination.
AT this season OF the year the bears
had been out OF their winter quar-
tiers but short time, and it is
much mooted question as to what
they live upon and what impels them
to come to the beaches. We there
fore decided to carefully examine the
stomach to see what we could as
certain. We first noted, however,
that the stomach was extremely
small, not having nearly the bulk one
would expect of an animal of such
size. and which we feel certain would
appear later on in the season when
the bear was we'll fed. Upon opening
the stomach we found no traces of
anything but deer. The hair of the
deer was plainly evident, as we'll as
the bones of the leg and the feet.
These were so plainly visible in the
contents of the stomach that there
is no question but that bear do prey
upon deer, at least early in the sea-
son when other food is scarce.
We observed here another custom
of the natives. The stomach, after
being turned wrong side out and
thoroughly washed, was filled with
bear fat and made a very handy re-
ceptacle for conveying this delicacy
to camp. Likewise the intestines
were turned, washed. and packed with

ty and saw two other bears, Dut were
unable to get within range OF tnem'
Certainly Alaska is a sportsman
paradise. The ONLY difficulties to be
encountered are the means OF trans
portation, which must be maze by
boat. Besides the deer seen by us,
there were great numbers OF flocks
of geese, and considerable quantities
of such ducks as are found IN Alaska
at this season of The year. Had our
engine been more amiable, we might
have had some excellent sport troll
ing for king salmon at points lower
down the canal where they abound.
We might also, had time permitted,
had have an abundance of trout fish
ing, for there were Cut-throat ana
Rainbow trout in all the streams.
We had two reasons for taking the
natives along, one of which was to
avoid the more diSagreeable tasks of
camp life, and the other to gain the
advantage of Their knowledge of the
habits of the bear Particularly at
this season of the year and in this
section, we felt satisfied that Jim
John, who had hunted and trapped
over the ground which we covered for
many years, being now a compare
lively OLD man Tor native, would
know pretty accurately the habits of
the bear and what they would be do
ing at this time of the year, know
ledge which we believe is possessed
by few of the white hunters in this
section. 1t became evident to us
that while the bear came down to the
beaches apparently for food they new
ertheless travelled rapidly. No doubt
they fed during the night, but howev-
er that may be, as early as we could
get up in the morning near the break
of day, we found them always on the
go and every bear sighted was ap-
parently going somewhere, and bent
on getting there. Jim John certainly
knew the main routes of travel and
we were fortunate in getting the
benefit of his experience.
Perhaps with little more diligence
and little more disposition to get
up in the early dawn, our efforts
might have been attended with great
er success, but when three o'clock in
the morning came, it was with some
effort that we crawled out of our
blankets, especially as they days were
bright and sunny and the mornings
cold enough to make our blankets
feel good to us.
But the sport of our first morning
had a stimulating effect on us and
we were usually out at a. m.
The return trip was rather uneVent-
full. We were disappointed to find
that the war was not over, and that
things had run along about as US
ual without our help.

fire and hung up to smoke, thus max
ing a kind of sausage, esteemed by
the natives next to bears feet, which
are regarded as the really choice
morsel of native diet.
Jim John felt that his reputation as
guide had been sustained, and I'M
der the genial influence of success
full days sport he became more COM
municative around the campfire. Per
haps wishing to impress upon us the
fact that he had brought us to de-
sirable hunting ground he informed
us that Admiralty Island, upon which
we were hunting was known among
the Indians by the name of Hootz-
nuwa, which means Brown Bears
Fort" and having seen a great abun-
dance of signs" we thought perhaps
there was sufficient justification for
the name. AS matter of fact there
are several localities on the island
where the natives are not disposed to
hunt because the brown bear are so
large and numerous.
The Thlingets of Alaska are divid-
ed into a number of different clans,
among which is the clan of the bear,
and during the evening we were re-
gealed with the legend of its origin.
The story goes that many many
years ago Sitka native and his young
wife went to Red Fish Bay to catch
their winter supply of fish. After
having caught sufficient supply and
getting them strung up to dry the
wife suggested that the native 60 and

angle. Much to our surprise, and In
spite of the years that this old vet
eran had roamed the woods, we found
this bear steak not only tender but
palatable. We had, however, caution
ed them to cut out the fat for we
thought we might find in this for
eign taste which might not be par
ticularly enjoyable.
The natives described to us in de-
tail, and without any suggestion on
our part, their method of roasting an
entire cracass, which conforms in
most respects to the method Of bar
becuing meat formerly so much in
vogue in the southern part of the
United States.
We were fortunate in having beau
tiful, clear weather. so the natives
decided it was we'll to begin the
work of preserving the skin immed-
lately. They prepared a frame OF
poles and stretched the skin upon IL.
After this they began the work OF
fleshing the skin, job that took
them a good part of two days. After
being stretched, the skin showed q
measurement, over all, Of 8 feet .
inches, and had it been carefully
fleshed before stretching, it would no
doubt have measured more than 10
feet. After the natives had carried
off all the meat they wanted, large
quantities were left behind. and TAX
ing this fact into consideration, to-
gether with the sake of the carcass
we felt that the bear must have
weighed in the neighborhood OF one
thousand pounds.
