ten-day pass for hunting: The com
manding officer arranged it SO that
those among the men who did not
care for this kind of sport surren-
dered their passes in favor OF WOOD
fill, and he got the entire hunting
season. He hunted everything but
polar bears. His kill included brown,
cinnamon and grizzly bears. moose,
deer, mountain sheep, mountain lion
and birds and small game. He be-
came known as the best hunter at the
post and kept it provided with meat
not only for immediate consumption,
but to be stored away for the win
ter, On one occasion he killed two
cinnamon and a brown bear in one
day. He went out with the purpose
of killing two of these. Having done
this, he dropped off the mountains
into the valley of Wolf creek and
went crashing through the under
brush on the way back to the fort.
The brush was thick, so he decided it
was no use hunting for game. He
had his rifle thrown across his shoul-
der in the sling and was making time
for the post when he heard a snap
ping noise which he thought was an
arctic rabbit. Three times he heard
the noise, and then, looking around,
saw a large cinnamon bear bounding
out of the willows with his mouth
wide open, snarling and breaking di-
rectly for him.
He was twenty-five feet distant when
he broke out of the willows, said Sergt.
Woodfill in describing the encounter.
"This necessitated quick action. I
grabbed for my rifle and tore it off.

rifle down. I hadn't time to take aim
and had to do hip shooting. The bull
let struck the bear in the spinal col
umn and broke it in two. All four
feet were off the ground and when he
was struck he just jack-knifed. He
tried to crawl at me and was chew
ing the moss and roots and roaring.
I was fortunate to be using special
bullet, for which I had sent to Chi
cago. 1t was called the "Hoxeyized"
ammunition and was a soft-nosed

DO, in addition to training as a SOL
- dier, woodfill had good training
as woodsman, as a stalker of game.
He was out much with the Indians,
and learned woodcraft. Thus he was
well equipped by long experience as
an infantryman in the Regular Army
and experiences in the open. which
made him an exceptionally valuable
man overseas. It was this experience
in the open that made it possible for
him to carry through successfully
his big stunt on October IL. He knew
just what to do, and was accustomed
to quick action.
Throughout his early life, his only
love seems to have been his rife He
says today that the only sweetheart
he ever had was the little woman
whom he married Just before he went
overseas. Sergt woodfill carries in
a leather case over his heart the pic

five feet eight inches tall and very
much resembled his hero son today.
The family lived in a stone house in
the country village of Belleview, Ind.
where he raised a family Of three boys
and two girls. At one time he took
a "flier' in the printing business and
owned a newspaper in the town, but
was principally noted as an expert
rifleman. He did a>lot Of hunting,
took part in various contests and won
more than his share of prizes.
One of the first things the elder
Woodf1ll taught his youngsters was to
shoot. When the hero Of today was
but seven years old he was given his
first lesson in close shooting. The
father loaded an old muzzle-loading
rifle Of octagon barrel type. commonly
called a squirrel rifle. He gave the
boy a rest and instructed how to shoot
at a. bull's-eye and charged him. Now

from a prone position.
When he was eighteen years old
young Woodfill went to Louisville and
enlisted. That was something he had
always intended to do. He says to-
day that the tremendous family in
f1uence surrounding him, the fact that
he honored and loved his soldier
father. very much gave him a feeling
that he should do nothing else In
life but follow his father as a soldier.
He enlisted in 1901 and was sent to
the Philippine Islands, where he went
through the training of an infantry
man. There he got a chance to do
quite a little hunting. wild hogs be-
ing the largest game. He proved to
be an expert shot, good at locating
game and was depended upon by his
comrades to keep them supplied with
fresh meat.
When his period of enlistment ex-
pired he re-enlisted and was sent to
Fort Edgar, Alaska. During the
game season the men were allowed a

A Curious Food Plant.

THE French chemist Balland has
analyzed an annual food plant
called "woandsu," growing in tropical
Africa, and introduced in southern
Asia and Brazil, and his conclusions
are interesting.
This plant is, it appears, the first
fruit. in the natural state that has
ever been examined and found to con-
tain all the chemical properties of per-
feet nutriment Two pounds of it, it is
claimed, would supply the daily re-
quirements of the human system. Like
the peanut, 1t natures underground.
Its edible kernel is shaped like an
egg. II furnishes a very white flour,
the flavor of which, after cooking
resembles that of the chestnut.

The young couple were dining out.
In the middle of their meal a tall and
beautiful woman passing near their

recognition and a smile.
So dangerous was the smile that

woman?'
John held up his hand.
