This last inquiry was delivered with such explosive fury that Mr. Pepper dodged involuntarily, but noticing that the old man had not grabbed his bung starter, he recovered himself partially. “Oh, T don't know,” he stammered, but héfore he could get further the old man interrupted him. “'No, nor nobody else don't know nelther. 1 reckon we'll have to let it go 't you're a'fool.

It was not untll the tollowing evening that anything happened. Then Mr. Hoover with two husky friends from "Tennessee, stepped into the saloon, and in a matter of fact fashion addressed the proprietor. here was a couple o' rounds o' drinks what I didn’t pay for last night,” he said “Lon’t Know nothin' about it," sald old man Greenhut, “but if you say so 1 reckon It's ®o, but nachully they was on the house, beln' as you was doin' con- sid'able treatin’ afore that.” “That don't go,” sald Mr. Hoover sternly. ‘“There don't nobody pay for no drinks what 1 order, on’y me.. You take yo' money outen that." And he threw a yellow backed bill on the bar. “Haln’t. got no change,’ said . old man Greenhut, pushing it back, “an’ anyways it dou’t make no diff'rence. Let it go till next time.'” “There won't be no next time,’ said Hoover, “an’ you ¢'n keep the change if yo're so hard up. ‘Pears like you felt some different about It last night. Now 't I've paid up I reckon I'll settie with you about that too.” “Ain't nothin' to settle,” said the oid man, edging over toward his bungstarter, Well, I'll settle it, anyway,” shouted Hoover in a sudden fur: You man- handled me fine yesterday, bein’ 's 1 was halt drunk an' you had your gang to back you. I ain't fightin' no crowd single hand, Now you come out o' there an’ tackle me man to man. My pals 'll stand your crowd oft, an' I'll chuck you in the mud, same's you done to me.’ “Oh, very well,” sald old man Greenhut, calmly, “bein’ 's youre so hell bent on trouble 1 reckon 1 ¢'n hand it out to ye. On'y U1l be man to man, like you said Stand back, everybody!” The Bungstarter in Action. Grabbing his bungstarter and piacing his left hand on the bar he vaulted over it like & youngster, and with one wild sweep felched the astonished Hoover a tremen- dous thwack on the chest with his formid- able weapon and sent him reeling backward Ull he fell on the floor. Then with sur- prising agility he leaped forward and seated himseif astride of his foe, still brandish- Ing the bungstarter. “Now,” he sald, without the slightest display of temper, "I reckon more 'n likely you'll listen to reason, beln' if you don't L'l batter your brains out. “They tell me you're a spo't, and if you be, you'd oughter know when you're licked.

Thereupon the old man arose and glving his hand to the other assisted him to rise. |There was at once a confusion of taik and laughter and Hoover's two friends glbed him unmercifully on his ignomin- fous defeat, but he took It In good part and as soon as he could bé heard he sald od naturedly: “That's all right, boys.

More often it {s the farmer living (n an fsolated |region who comes upon this brute, the | Maine biack bear, as the big fellow makes |oft with one of hix lambs. - In either case, be it sportsman or farmer who sees the bear, the view he gets Is likely to be short unless he brings the animal down, for this big brute with all his strength and for- | midable teeth and claws 1s no fighter and | prefers running to fighting on almost all occasions Black bears are found In Maine in every county in the state with the exception of the most southerly counties west of Penobscot bay, but are of course most numerous where the deer and moose are also found In greater numbers, In north- ern Hancock, Washington, Penobscot, |Franklin and Somerset countles and the |vast reglon embraced by Plscataquis |and Aroostock counties, most of which Is covered with a heavy growth of timber, Years ago black bears were common. in {the reglons named, but the advance of |civilization has made far greater inroads |on thelr numbers than on the deer and moose. The animals were hunted for thelr fur and for the bounty placed upon them by the state legislature. Hunters Thin the Ranks. The bears had no friend. They were |kiNed at any and every time of vear, for even In the summer months when thelr fur was of no value the bounty made hunting them worth while. This indis- criminate hunting of course speedily thinned out the ranks of bruin A few years aKo the bounty of %5 was removed, and since then the hunters have lost moest of thelr fervor. Bears are killed now wherever they are found by the ordinary hunters, but the men who made & business of trapping and hunting them have gone out of the business except for a few months in the year when the fur i In prime condition. The Maine black bear is & queer animal. In his makeup there seems to be a com- bination of the characteristics of the hu- man, the cat, the hog, the racoon, the squirrel and several other animals. Though his natural method of locomotion fs on all fours, he can walk upright almost as eas and steadily as a man, and there is something laughably human in the way one of these big brutes will sit up on his haunches and reach a fat forepaw around to seratch his ribs. At many times the bear displays almost human intelligence in the manner in which he evades traps and deadfalls set for his destruction, No member of the cat family could be auicker with a stroke of its forepaw than Is a black bear, and the bear has his paws armed with claws which a tiger or lon might envy. With his forepaws the bear can strike a blow with the swiftness and skill of a trained boxer, and many is the Wwoodeman who has found this out to his o8t when he has tried to kill one of these animals with the stroke of an axe. One troke of that great paw will ward off a violent blow and another may send the wielder of the axe spinning twenty feel away. A black bear will ascend a tree with the agility of a cat and does so fr§ Qquently to get the varfous nuts which form a chofce bit of his dfet. Black Bear Resembles Hog. In general appearance the black bear resembles the hog more than any other animal. The head with its round skull, sharp snout, short pointed ears and bright beady cyes Is like that of a hog, while the bear will cat anything a hog will The bear roots about among the leaves in quest of nuts, enters orcharde to eat the apples which have fallen on the ground |and if they are not there shakes the tree until the fruft comes tumbling about his ears, wherein he has the advantage of the hog and resembles the human again. More than one black bear has come to an "untimely end because of his pro- pensity for entering corn fields and eating the sweet corn from the stalks ,a favorite occupation of the raccoon. Like the raccoon too, the black bear is an expert tisherman. He will lie at full length on & log over some quiet pool and drop 'a bit of wood or offal on the water. He watches the bait with his small bright eyes until some unsuspecting trout or chub comes up to Investigate, then a quick sweep of one of those mighty paws lands the fish flop- ping on the bank and Bruln makes a dalnty meal off his prize. When the cold frosts of fall arrive the black bear begins to think of a snug home during the' winter months. He looks about until he finds the place that sults “him. It may be in a hollow log, and if the hollow Is aiready the home of & family of coons Bruin nas no scruples about turning them out It may be that the bear finds a blow- down where the passing years have de- posited 1limbs and leaves untll there |s a covering impervious to snow and rain, and he crawls underneath and bur- rows Into the scurf to sleep for the win- ter. If he can find & cave or a deep cleft In the rocks bruin Is as well satis fled and he will sleep fully as eomfort. able until warm weather comes again The bear has no larder to resort to during the winter and he wants none, for he sleeps soundly while his waste tissues are replaced by the great rolls of fat which cover his ribs as & result of & sum- mer's foraging on the fat of the land. Winter Slumber and 8 . The bear retires for his winter sleep Just as soon as the ground begins to tres which s usually about the last of November. This will of course not apply to all cases, for many bears are found roaming about until long after the first of December, but ordinarily they for bruin's bed chamber. Woodsmen frequently find these air holes in the snow and upon Investigation find brutn in his den. The animal is so sound sleep that no nolse will awaken him, the first touch on any part of the bear's body brings him out of his steep with a start. When thus aroused the bear is g wicked antagonist. A ¥y Is related of two woodsmen who found & bear in this manner & few years snow away. They walked and jumped on the log within which bruin was esconced without arousing him. Then looking In the hole in the trunk, one of the men saw the bear lying at full length with his head resting on one paw and his snvot toward the opening. The woodsmen (ouched the bear's paw THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE den up early. Frequently when a besr dens up he- neath a blowdown, or es In a hollow log with his snout near the opening the warmth of the bear's breath melts the hole In the covering of snow.. This hole keeps growing larger, until finally It becomes encrusted with ice and then | remains a sort of chimney or ventilator | et | ago. They found the air hole and dug the | with the axe, and like a flash the bear awoke, sent the axe spinning out of the man's hand and with another rake of his PAW 1ald open the woodsman's leg from knee to ankle. Of course, the bear had no ance, pinned as he was in the hollow trunk, but he was so dangerous that his | captors 0ok mo ehances with him. When the bear comes out of his winter sleep he is thin and weak. His long fast has sapped his vitality and taken all the fat off him, but his fur coat is In the best of condition. Hunters say that bruin eats nothing after coming out of his den until he has first found a certain shrub of the elderberry family. The bear eats the roots and berrfes of this shrub before taking so0lid food Into his system dnd these roots and berries act as bruin's spring tonic Prov an Ugly Customer. At this season of the year the bear is an ugly customer to meet. He soon gets back his strength, but he is lean and hun- &ry and ready for a fight on short provo- cation. NOVEMBER 28, 1909. 1510 DOUGLAS STREET The last of March or early in April the she bear brings forth her young, usually two or three at a birth. The flufty little | fellows get their strength with amazing rapidity and in a short time after birth | are able to run about and scuffle with one another and climb a tree out of harm's | way with the agility of a cat. A female bear with cubs is about the toughest proposition _any hunter in the Maine woods ever ha§ to tackle. The dam | will take any risk to protect her cubs. | The dam killed, however, It is an e matter to kil or capture the cube. The cunning shown by bears in avolding | traps is often marvellous. They will often | look askance at the most tempting bait | and keep clear of the steel jaws, while at other times they will approach the trap gingerly, uncover the steel teeth, send the trap spinning with a cuff of the paw and then eat the bait at their lelsure. They will entér the best constructed pen, rip off the top logs and carry away the bait. When taken by a paw the bear | will drag the heavy clog holding the trap for a long distance, or until the clog be- comes caught between the trees. Then, if the paw in the trap is not too far in, Bruin often pulls out or eats off the captured member and all the owner of the trap gets for his pains is the paw which speaks elo- quently of the occurrences while the bear was a prisoner. The Maine black bear has been a much maligned animal. Long observation by old hunters shows that the favorite food of the bear Is vegetables, nuts, berries, roots, ete. Many complaints hawe heen made by farmers in the northern and eastern parts | of the state of bears that have done dam- age to their sheep flocks. Yet old hunters say the bear fs not naturally a Killer of sheep. Once he gets the taste of fresh mutton, though, the bear Is likely to crave it. His Eplcurean Taste. A favorite food of the black bear is all Insects, such as ants and grubs. To get these the bear will pull to pleces every rotten stump he comes across. Evidences of the bear's grubbing are found in every part of the Maine woods. When the bear finds a stump about which the ants and grubs are running he lays himself down besldé it. Then, poking his snout into the warm, rotten wood, he lets the Insects run all over his snout and licks them off with his long, tongue. When the available sup- ply has been exhausted Bruin pulls the stump apart until he has fintshed the last of the insects. Another mark left by Bruln which shows he s a frequenter of a certain spot Is the bear tree. When the black bear finds a tree where another bear has rubbed or scratched he does likewise. There seems to be a Jealousy existing among bears in the matter of height or reach, and every bear that comes to the tree trigs to reach up higher and scratch the tree deeper than his predecessor. In this way the bear tree becomes torn, until it looks as though a man had been at It with a gouger. There is good bear hunting in parts of Malne today, as is shown by the number of skins brought to market every year and the number of animals which figure in the game lists. So far this year eightecn good sized bears have passed through Bangor on their way from the hunting reglons. They are sent to the Boston markets to be cut up, for bear steaks are cholce eating In the fall of the year. The skin of the black bear makes a fine rug when mounted with the head Intact. A movement is now on foot,to make & closed tlme on bears during the month vhen their fur Is of no value. It has been shown that on all ordinary occesion the bear is not dangerous, preferring to run rather than fight, and if he does occa- slonally kill sheep or hogs he does far less damage than deer do to growing crops. A law placing a closed time on black bears between the months of April and Septem- ber would undoubtedly meet with the ap- proval of a large number of people, both in Maine and out. HEROES OMITTED FROM ROLL Men Who Were Forgotten in Distribution of Carnegle Med the The Carnegle Hero Fund commission has been counting the noses of the nation's Hobsons and Bayards and handing out its annual rewards—a silver medal and $500 to the Massachussets boy who fished two drowning companions from a hole In the ice, a bronze medal and $00 to the Afro- Kasan who snatchd a neglected Infant | from the path of ligntning express, a vote | of thanks and $1,000 to the Ohlo merchant who rowed a flat-bottomed boat through the skyllght of a submerged house in flood time and rescued the family, and sundry other gauds, decorations and sums of money to varlous other heroes, great and small, white and black, amateur and pro- tesslonal.
