matoes from the iron bucket. When
she reached the creek, there was no
iron bucket-and even worse, no
juicy chops, no lunch meat, no
cheese, no eggs, no tomatoes, nor
straWberries-in fact all were gone.
The family searched carefully for
the missing food but neither it nor
any trace of the bucket was to be
found, nor was there any sign OF
the thief-not even a single clue
or egg shell.
That evening the family enjoyed
fish for supper. The next morning
they had fish, at noon they put
up with fish meal-and then

even from the window He looked.
Sure enough, there it was, huge
black bear with its nose pointed
toward the cabin and hungry ex-
preston on its face. Muttering some
thing about soaring the bear away,
MIR. Shaurete reached for his gun
and pointing in the general direc-

squealed and crumpled down in a
heap, dead as bear can be.
No, the Shaufettes' did not have
bear steak for supper-they had
fish!
One evening during the week,
picnic was enjoyed at Kootenai
Falls by Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard
Sleizer and Ruth Marie, Joan
