Town Critic Stands Face to

able situation and all of the stories

coping with a real live bear, face to
face, came into my mind, and the
most forceful one was of the man who
stood and gazed squarely into the eyes
of n bear until the bear turned and
walked away But this bear was not

GIANT FOREST, Cal, Aug. 15.-
Perhaps there are number of my
friends in Tulsa who have had eX-
periences IN the exchange watching
the bulls" and bears come and go
and have had only feelings of happi-
ness or remOrse as a result, but | want
to state that last night | had an eX-
perience with a bear that gave me
neither happiness nor remorse, but
the most remarkable case Of cold feet
have ever had or even heard Of.
My hair still refuses to stay put, and
l am wearing it pompadour instead.
It happened in the wee sma ~
hours Of the morning, and to him
who tells me again that a real live
bear will scamper away at the sight
Of any light / wish to say Thou art
the Inan", for he has lied to me and
| only excuse him for l have no evi-
dence of his malice aforethouSht.
Received Honey.
Yesterday We received in camp five
gallons of honey Having opened the
can for service, we thought II best to
guard the honey closely, knowing that
bears we're very fond of it, SO |
placed it in my tent and thought
surely Mr.. Bear will not deliberately
walk into an occupied tent, even
though his mouth wateTed But /
had rcckoned wrong. ! knew not
the habits of the bear, nor did | know
how little he cared for the human
being when honey played an import
ant role. Well, as I stated before, II
happcnei in the wee sma' " hours
Of the morning. l was always of the
opinion that l was reasonably brave;
that with an even start and slight
down grade / could outrun most any
animal known, but l had forgotten,
or. I might say. l was ignorant, for
Gid net know anything about this
particular case, hence | had nothing

formation, taht l have loads to re-
member-and so | will say | was ig-
norant of the feeling of extreme
fright and did not know that the
greatest asset when scared night unto
death is 'standstiiledness," and that's
what l did As / have twice said, IL
happened in the wee sma'" " hours
of the morning and l was awakened
by peculiar sound in my tent and,
opening MY eyes. | saw something in
the dense blackness OF night Just a

scratching sound at the can OF honey.
