BEAR YARNS. 
Samuel Hoyt started from a neighbor’s, 
carrying a quarter of beef across his shoulders, | 
says Helen Hunt in the Rural World. His j 
homeward way lay through the woods. Two j 
young men at the neighbor’s told Hoyt the 
bears would get his meat before he got through 
the woods. Thinking to scare Hoyt, they cut : 
across lots and secreted themselves in the bushes 
beside the path, and when Hoyt came along they 
began to growl and crash through the bushes, j 
Laying down his beef, Hoyt gathered his hands 
full of stones and began to pelt those bushes j 
briskly, and so good was his aim that the bears 
made quick tracks for home, and one of them 
bore bruises to show for his part of the game, j 
Hoyt resumed his journey and trudged to- j 
ward home chuckling. 
A latter-day bear story was told by some of \ 
the returned hunters from the Maine woods., 
Two of them while out hunting one day came] 
across two bear cubs at play. After watching 
them awhile one hunter said: “1 his is my cub, 
and started to catch it. The other hunter said, 
“This is my cub,” indicating the other, and at¬ 
tempted to catch that one. Nothing happened 
until they seized the cubs. Of course they 
yelped for their mother, and she appeared on 
the scene immediately. If you ever say any' 
one drop anything hot you have some idea of, 
the delerity with which those hunters dropped: 
those cubs and skinned up two trees that luckily 
were near. “Guess we’ll let the old bear have 
’em both,” they said in concert. “We don’t 
have any use for them.” Having laid down, 
.their guns to cdtch the cubs, they were obliged 
to remain up a tree until Mrs. Bear saw fit 
to amble off with her family, which she took; 
more time to do than was absolutely necessary,] 
the wingless birds thought.
