BIG LENA TEACHES CUBS TO BE
SMART ROBBERS

But on the third day, Lena
brought her cubs with her and
staged an act the cooks didn't
get a laugh out of. For, when
they looked out of the window,
they saw Lena sitting on her
launches eating a ham which
she was holding in her forepaws.
Two cubs were at her side each
munching at a slab of bacon.
A third cub was nearly up to
the top of the lodge pole pine
where it tapered the most. tug
ging tenaciously at a ham to
dislodge it.
The smoked meat supply Of the
chalet tourist camp in the re-
cesses Of the Rockies was safely
kept the rest Of the summer, but
not until an umbrella shaped
piece of tin was fastened on the
pine six feet from the ground.
The cubs came back for more
but the cooks had the laugh on
them again for although the
little bears exhibited all man
ners of cuteness in their efforts
to get up. on each occasion they
ended their amusing antics by
sitting up and gazing nonplussed
at the barrier.

DIG Lena is on record in the
II Bureau OF National Parks
as having taught her cubs to be-
come the smartest camp robbers
of any of Uncle Sans tourist
domains. Lena and her family
live in the Rocky Mountains ad-
jacent to Granite Park chalet
camp in Glacier National Park,
Montana.
The tourist camp cook was at
his wits end keeping hams and
bacon away from Lena during
the early summer. He finally
hit upon what he thought was a
safe place to hang them. He
stripped a thin lodge pole pine
and with the aid Of an extension
ladder, strung the meat high up.
From the kitchen chalet window
he and the cooks enjoyed many
laughs at the expense OF big fat
Lena who presented ludicrOuS
sight as she tried to hug the
slender circumference OF the
lodge pole pine in futile effort
to climb it. There was not
enough tree for Lena to properly
hug to make the ascent.
