Do the French Canadians OF America
retain the dramatic instinct which is
such prominent characteristic of
their Gallo ancestors? You bet they
do! And the reader of this true yarn
can Judge for himself If it isn't a
| oretty good indication of the affrma-
tive.
It happened a few years ago In Beth
lehem, that quaint New Hampshire
town of some forty hotels and not
much else, which season after season
was the scene Of a big annual coachin 3
parade and carnival of appropriate
floats. Every coach and mountain
wagon in the White mountains used to
take part; the whole countryside was
always interested, and not only the
summer visitors, but the farmers, lum-
berjacks and villagers were always
out for one of the handsome prizes
given for originality in float ideas,
Those days are gone now forever:
super sixes' and rakish "efghts'
whizz up and down the roads where
once free" Lindsey, Ethan Crawford
and other noted whips handled their
six and eight prancing short-coupled
horses more easily than the average
man can manage one.
Two strapping Canucks Of Coos
county. Gonya and Lassette. by name.
trapped a good-sized black bear high
up in the Franconia range.
Out for the Big Prize.
'"Tal you wat we do" unused Gonya.
I'VE save de skin an git US one O.
dem bears faces from Bosom. 1 put

hitch up Dave Thibault's four beeg

ivy me, de bear7 wy not your" was
Lassette's reply.
cause you de beeges'. an you move
yourself somep'n lax bear, anyway" ar
gued Gonya. and it was so finally agreed.
The skin was carefully sewed up to ac-
commodate Lassette's stalwart frame. In
due time a most lifelike bears headpiece
came from Boston, and all was in readi !
ness for the big day.
Riding in the barnyard-made cage
with Lassette. to give an imagined realis-
tic touch. was Gonya's big hound. The
dog took a long, hard squirt and sniff at
the bearskin and thought, AHA! a bear"
Then he smelled Lassette's pipe, with its
glowing load of Canadian homegrown
Frenchman." Just as the float swung
into the long single street which is lined
with Bethlehem's hostelries and which
swarmed with BethIehems patrons. Las
settle doused his pipe and clapped on the
artificial head.
There! was right the first time
unused the hound. Its a bear" and i'm
mediately took a generous bite of the
loose, hairy skin. getting, at the same
time, a bit Of Lassette's tough cuticle.
"Gonya! joel" came a muff1ed voice
from the head: does houn' she t'ink Pm
bear. She's bite me"'
"Shet up. retorted Gonya from the
front seat. busy with the rens and
brakes. Dat dog ain gone hurt you
He on'y playin'." The playful dog let go
only to get better hold.
