lost. SO, he kept on following the
tracks until he came to stream OF
water. After following the tracks
for some time, he found out that
he was lost and did not know the
| way back to camp. So he thought
maybe the cow wanted to be MIXED
and had gone back home. Of
course, he did not know it was a
moose; but he had never seen a
moose and that is why he thought
it was a cow.
They had made signs to go by
when any 4 them got lost. They
were to shoot three times quickly.
Now, Mr.. Davis had only six shells
with him. So he shot three times
and shot so fast the gun kicked him
over and he thought he was killed,
and began to hollow as loud as he
could. After he was conscious he
started on down the path through
the woods until he came to big
open place. And just across this
place he saw big bear.
Now he did not know what to do,
as he had only three shots left and
did not know whether to shoot at
the bear or to shoot three times
again. But he was afraid to shoot
three times at once again so he
thought he would try one shot at
the bear and if he missed he would
climb up a big tree So he lay
down on his stomach and laid his
gun over log and after looking at
the bear long time, he pulled the
trigger.
Just then the bear fell over but
he did not know whether it was
dead or not. He stood behind a
tree watching the bear awhile
when he heard some one hollow,
and pretty soon the guide that was
in the woods came to where he was
and said, Are you crazy? Don't
you know you can't shoot a
mOOse?"
Mr.. Davis said, Just look there
and see what I've done"
The guide said, MY goodness;
it's bear! l haven't seen a bear
for months"
Then they put their guns to their
shoulders and walked very slow
and easy toward the bear. They
were afraid it was not dead, and
might get up and take after them.
But after they got to it, they found
it was dead, as he had hit it in the
brain. AS it was so big and heavy,
they could not carry it and so they
left it lying there and went back
to camp and told the other men
what they had done. The men just
laughed at him at first and said he

FASHIONS IN FISHES

Springtime in the sea, But what,
one may ask, has the spring to do
with the sea? There are no trees
to put on leaf, or Towering plants
to burst into blossom. Neither are
there birds to put on their gay mat

with melody.
But fishes feel the springtime,
just as do the birds, and there are
spring fashions in the waters, Just
as there are in the fields for the
birds, or in the streets for humans.
