Now remember you are making bears
and when they are finished they
should look as much like those ami
mails as possible. So be careful in lay
ing out the patterns and in cutting to
shape. The cutting will have to be
done with the coping saw except for
the groove in the bottom. Saw the
sides with the back saw and remove
the stock with chisel. After cutting
to shape It will next be. necessary to
round the head and the edges Of the
body SO it will look like a bear. The
forming of the head will test your
ability to carve.
If all the parts are cut accurately.
they will fit together according to the
dimensions indicated in the assembly
drawing. but as irregularities will no
doubt occur in the cutting. it will be
best to test all the parts before finally
fastening them together. The bears
should be SO adjusted that the ham.
mer Will strike m the center Of the
anvil. The hanApers should be fas@
tened in place so ehey will clear. This
means you will have to test your work.
The toy should be painted. Use your
own judgment. though It is suggested
that the anvil be black. the bears
brown with eyes. mouth. ETC.. In black.
and the levers green.
To operate. grasp the levers In the
fingers and push and pull. This will
cause the bears to beat on the anvil
with the hammers fastened to them.

that Indians should mot leave the place

EverG On a bad Indian Hunt?

nHE boys Of jamestown. N. r.

~ Chautauqua Lake at Sylvan Park.
~ and 1t was determined to hold an
Indian hunt. The camp director was
as the "Bad Indian"
On an appointed morning he and his
four followers started out at 10 O'Clock
to hide somewhere in the vicinity.
They were to be given three hours
Roadway.

dian" camp and on the open side OF
the fire. but so intent we're they on
what was in front Of them and so
cleverly was the camp laid out that
they did not see the, Indians"
At s o'clock 1t was evident that the
scouting parties could not flnd the TN
dams" and so the camp site was aban-
doned and the hike for home was
started. A little after 8 they arrived
at the home camp to find that three
Of the scouting parties had given up
the hunt and that the other two were
still out.
Very little was said about their not
being able to find these bad Indians"
They no doubt thought they had tried.
but the reason they could not find
them was because the Indians" were
hidden away so securely.
In any. event. they took It in good
part Ind the Indians" did not rub Il
in. but that night around the campfire
Il, was determined to make the evening
a short one and get to bed early.
