A GLEAN 
SUSPENSORY 
EACH MORNING 



\the slough, some alighting in the water, 
and the rest along the opposite shore 
from us. As soon as they alighted and 
before they had time to fold their wings, 
I said, “Now!” and we both jumped to 
our feet and started shooting, taking 
them by surprise. We had time to fire 
a shot apiece before they started to run 
and the other ten shots we fired at the 
flock as they ran up the hill like so 
many sheep. 
We killed two and winged two more. 
As it was now almost dark, we did not 
have time to follow the flock, but the 
next day a farmer who lived in the 
vicinity told us that he had picked up 
two dead sand hill cranes that morning. 
We tried to run down one of the winged 
ones and take it to town alive, and we 
would have succeeded only when we got 
close to it, it turned on us and its bill 
looked so threatening that my friend 
let him have it with the gun barrel 
across the neck, killing it. Before we 
got started for home it got pitch dark 
and the horse that we were driving was 
the worst I ever saw. He absolutely 
would not follow the road. Part of the 
road was just a prairie trail, and in 
order that we would not get lost, we had 
to take turns about, each leading the 
horse, until we came to a road that was 
graded. Then we would both ride and 
even then we would be first in one 
ditch and then in the other. 
Finally we came to a place where 
there was quite a high grade, crossing 
a coulee. The ditch on both sides had 
several feet of water, and that was the 
only road we could take to get back to 
town. 
Up to this time I was doing the driv- 
ing and when I came to this place I 
stopped, not knowing just what to do, 
I did not like the idea of taking a plunge 
into that frog-pond, and I did not see 
how we could avoid it on that slippery 
narrow grade-even if one of us did lead 
the horse, for it was’so dark and the 
road had no ruts or weeds to guide us. 
By this time my friend had lost all pa- 
tience and said, “Let me drive; Hang 
on!” Before I knew what he was about 
to do, he had the whip and applied it 
vigorously to the horse’s back. The 
steep grade was about fifty feet long, 
and before I had time to present any 
objections, which I might have had, we 
were on the other side, and that ended 
our adventure for this day. 
Sand hill cranes when migrating at- 
tain a very high altitude. To the 
naked eye they look like little specks up 
in the blue sky. 
Many times I have heard the familiar 
call of sand hill cranes coming from 
the sky, when I could not locate them 
at all.

My First Shotgun 
(Continued from page 740) 
When I came to, I toiled up the hiil 
and found that the candle had indeed 
penetrated the board; more than that, 
it had turned in the air, and hitting the 
board broadside, had cut it clean in 
two. I looked for the candle on the 
other side of the fence and found little 
pieces of tallow scattered all over the 
landscape, none larger than a pea. 
I believed all I read in my school 
books thereafter, but my shoulder was 
so sore for a week or two that I could 
not put a gun stock against it. - When 
I did begin shooting again every recoil 
was so painful that I could not refrain 
from flinching, nor quite often, from 
shutting my eyes as I pulled the 
trigger. This habit grew on me until I 
became really afraid of the old cannon, 
so I traded it off for a sawed-off double 
barreled muzzle loader. 
If I ever go to the good Indian’s 
happy hunting ground I want to find 
that old Zulu there and take one more 
hunt with it. 
Hibernation 
(Continued from page 713) 
When whiskey or other beverage con- 
taining’ sufficient alcohol to cause in- 
ebriation is taken into a man’s stomach 
it robs the tissues of oxygen so rapidly 
that the blood shortly becomes sur- 
charged with carbonic acid gas, and a 
stupor results because the lungs cannot 
remove the poison as rapidly as it 
forms, and the man remains drunken 
until such time as the lungs can per- 
form this office of elimination and get 
the system back to normal, after which 
time the man recovers from his stupor. 
In a bear the process of intoxication 
is different, but the results are the 
same. When he first goes into his den 
his sleep is natural and he is easily 
aroused as any hunter knows who has 
tracked one to his sleeping quarters 
shortly after his retirement for the 
winter. But undisturbed, his sleep de- 
velops into a real stupor. Respiration 
and circulation are the only evidences 
of life, and they are both retarded, to 
just what point I should like mightily 
to know. The carbon waste resulting 
from the change of protein tissue to 
that of fat is retained in the blood 
stream, because all the organs of elimi- 
nation are locked except the lungs, and 
respiration is so slow that there is con- 
tinually an excess of carbonic acid gas 
retained in the blood, and so long as 
this condition prevails his bearship re- 
mains inebriated, or in a state of hi- 
bernation. 
In a female bear, hibernating dur- 
ing the period of lactation after her 
cubs are born, milk is elaborated in 
sufficient quantities to sustain them,
