How to Skin Live Bears

"In my varied experience as a hunter and trapper," said Dr, George A. Baldpate recently to D. A. Mid dleton, "T have found the grizzly bear the hardest animal to skin of any l ever caught. After a little concentrated thought, however, l solved the problem in very in- gcnious manner.
 "As every one knows, I always catch my grizzlies alive, and kill and skin them at my convenience. find by feeding bear on butter milk, that I can fatten him very quickly, thus increasing the size of the pclt, and making it worth more.
 When a bear has reached about twice normal size. and his skin is stretched accordingly. l suddenly change his diet, giving him double ration of a well-known flesh reduc- ing panacoa. In few days the bear is nothing but skin and bones,' thanks 10 the painless flesh rcducer.
 After chloroforming the bear, which is the most humane way to kill it, 1 innate the skin to its full size with an ordinary tire pump. in- serted under the skin at the base of the skull. By prying the bears jaws apart the bones may be easily shaken out through the mouth, leaving the bear skin whole and un- blcmished.
 "rhe only disadvantage in skim ming bears this way is the fact that the hunter gets no meat from the bear, but then, few people care for bear meat anyway"

 New Britain not only is a manu- Recurring city Of consequence, it also is a beautiful city. Where in city Of this size are there more at tractiyo homes in such delightful sylvan settings? What is equally as important, they are also happy homes, where contentmeut and sat isiaction reigns.
 We are getting along very well, thank you.
 And what city of this size in the state has prettier parks, breathing ana pay spots Tor thousands Tn the summer time? The citys parks total 32S.S acres, Walnut Hill, cen- trally located yielding one of the finest city views in the state, its 90 acres being a mecca for. thousands in the summer.

A pleasing surprise - We should say fact rather than surprisc-has been the contributions to the Tongue -Twistcr poem and Kid Boots series.
 Tonguc-Twistcr poems call for an understanding of human nature and speech - as well as keen car.
 All of Us, at one time or nnOther, have been caught with phrases in our speech which caused the words to come out everything else but!
 The application of these phrases, rather than the use of manuiac- turcd ideas. is what we want for the Tongue-Twister poems. And 90 percent. of those we have received from readers have caught the idea.
 The Kid Boots essays are lm- mensely popular for the same reason that child sayings are. All or Us were kids once and we can all rpprocta'e the workings of the Kid iioots mind.
