BEARDING A GRIZZLY IN HIS DEN. 



245 



The following day I obtained assist- 

 ance and dragged my prize from the 

 woods to open ground and from there, 

 with a sleigh, we brought him in. 



He was a magnificent old chap. His 

 coat was perfect and his skin when 

 pegged out measured 6 feet 2 inches 



wide and 7 feet 8 inches long. He had 

 just put on his winter's supply of fat 

 and was like a prize pig at Christmas. 

 I took 4 gallons of oil out of him and 

 his skin, with a big hole in the center 

 of the frontal bone reposes on my man- 

 tel.

WHO SAID 'RATS' 1 



" When I made a joke the other day." re- 

 marked Senator Sorghum, " nobody 

 laughed." 



" That's true." 



" And when I made a serious speech, I 

 awoke the hilarity of a nation." 

 It seems so." 



'* Well, I give it up. I don't know which 

 is harder — trying to be funny, or trying not 

 to." — Washington Star.
