A FAILURE

" f (Jl'KSS ill Hub (Skiles won't never
I have no l onrWIriwe In b'ars sg'ln,"
said Kabin lludd, whu snares rattle
snake! with a lentlierstrliiand liunta
ilcer and licar with a Muffle-barreled
muzzle-loading shotgun. "And it
sarves him rlKht, to it doea."
Hub Skiles ia fa mom in the neigh
borhood of Kettle Creek, l'a., a a
bear hunter and one who pretends to
use philosophical forethought ai an
aid to nil hunting. Thus, one day lat
sprlnjf lie discovered a family of heart
in the woods along Polly's Kim. It
consisted of a big and invnye mother
liear and three cube. The cuba were
but a few weeks old.
Skilea' first Impulse wae to put a
ball through the old brer ai the
mulled toward him from her retreat
beneath the roots of a fallen tree, and
to carry the cuba home alive, but on
second thought he reunited to spare
the family. He knew that the eulis
would pine for their mother and par
hnpa would not live under alien care
and treatment.
"I'll Just let the hull rnboodle of 'em
alone," aald Hob. "Nil moiitha from
now them culis'll be In fine atiape to
give nie tome ,fun in the wooda, and
the ol' woman b'ar'll have a nice new
cout o' fur on to her. I'll let 'em live,
and reap the harvest o' my bein' kind
to 'em along when mow begina to tly
next fall."
Ho he did what no otliiT liuntur In all
tli at spread of waters would have done,
lie passed on and left the benr family
to lUrlf.
About two week before Thnnltagfv
Ing he had the satisfaction of knowing
tlint the cubs hnd grown to be more
than luilf as big aa their mother, fat as
pigii reaily for the killing, and with
coats of fur of the ' blackest ami
glossiest. The mother was also in
superb coat and finest condition. Tin y
were snugly housed in Tamarack
an amp.
"(luesa I'll let 'em pick up for a
week or so more," said he. "Then
they'll be ready for me to have fun
with."
A couple of days later he saw the
bear family ngain. The old bear and
two of the rubs went Into the swamp
and the other cub started away on his
own account, over toward an old wood
road, and down the road toward lily's
clearing.
"That ain't reg'!nr,"sald lloh. That
b'ar ain't actln' square!"
Ho he followed the cub, which went
Along at a lively rate, and turned into
the woods, at the further edge of
which Illy hud a few sheep in a tot,
with a long fence around It. Hob
Hllkca hurried on, and raine out o( the
woods into the lot Just as the young
hear had cornered the sheep and had
killed one.
"That bein' the case," said Hob, "I'll
have to hnve my fun with this young
cub right now."
And he killed the rub and gave it to
Illy because it killed lily's sheep.
A day or two afterward lb b had
an ii IT i-r of a good price for a big
bearskin, and he went out to get the
mother of the family. lie got on
her trull. The two young bears were
with her.
Hob followed her for an hour be
fore he got a allot, and the old bear
turned on him so fiercely that If it
hud not been for his dog she might
have got hint instead of his getting
her, but he got her. The two young
buara went up a big tree.
"I'll leave 'em," suid Hob. "I'll
hare a Thaukagltin' hunt with 'em,
and have a lot more fun. I'll get one
of 'em on that day and then I'll
keep t'other one for a Christmas
hunt. They'll wait for me."
In less than a week after that,
though, some one from the county
sent scut word to Hob that If he
could Hcud over a couple of bears,
young, frt and Juicy, right away, he
could get his own price for them, so
Hob concluded that he wouldn't keep
the two remaining members of the
family waiting for him any longer,
and he started out bright and early
to get them for the mail at the
county seat. Knbin Huild tells the
rest.
" 'Tain't fcr me to be the Jixlge o'
folks' (loin's," said Sabln, "but when
a feller has nosed around In the
woods as much as Hob Skiles has, nn'
then goes an' puts his confidence in
h'ara. It siinra him right if he gits
fooled. 1 was scttiu' on u log over
this side o' the big cranberry mash,
wait in' fer a deer that I thought
uirbbe luowt come along to chew
soine o' the wild grass on the edge
of It, and who should I see but Hob
with his gun on his shoulder, bound
for soincv, beres.
"'Hello, Hob!' I sung out. 'Where
do you think you're goiu'?'
"'('.oln' to git them two b'ars o'
mine that's mi'j on the edge o" old
Tiuiuirnck. wuitin' fer me.'
"'S.i?, I says. 'Hoic you'll git
'em,' 1 says.
""('nurse I'll git 'em!' saw Hob.
"I didn't say uothin' more, an' on
he went. I looked arter him till he
got out o' sight. Then 1 suva to my
self: " 'Hotnutimca a feller it, a Icctle too

I says.
"So 1 got nn the log and soil o'

' "Now, the reason why I said that
was louiethln' like this. The (lay
afore I was settln' on that log wait in'
for the deer an' had that talk with
HobSklles I was over to lily's clearin'.
It wai along in the urternoon when
I stopped there, an' Illy sny to
me:
"'Why ain't you out helpin 'cm
ketch the b'ar?' aays he.
" 'Il'ar?' I Bays. 'What b'ar?'
'"The fattest an 'blackest young
b'r you ever see,' aays Illy, 'tine o'
the Nelson bovs snw It first, wub-
blin along not morc'n a mile f rom j
here, up the creek, says he. It was,
headiu' in from Tamarack swamp."
"'So?' I says, 'if there was two i
b'ars now, 'slid ( one, I'd think sure
they must belong to Hob Hkilcs' b'ar
famlly-the two that 's waitiu' for
him to have fun with,' I says.
'".Mebbe says Illy, an' that' nil
that was said jist then, about b'ar,'
" 'Long to'arda night, as I was on
the p'lnt o' leaving lily's, in come
the Nelson boy an' two or three
more. They was hootin' an' liowlln'
us if they'd Jest come in from eleo
tlon. An' they had good reason for
hootin'. They hadn't only fetched in
the. b'ar thnt Illy was tiilkin' about,
but they had fetched in another un
with it. Jest the same size an' heft.
They was the fattest an' blackest
youngster o' b'ars I ever see.
" They're the two orphans o' Hob
Kkilca' b'ar family, sure as sap!' say
I. They be, certain.' An' they're
gone back onto Hob! They've abused
his confidence!' I says 'Hut what
could you expect of b'ars?" I says.
"An' with that I left for home, an'
didn't think nothin' more about it till
next day, when I wns settln' on that
log nigh Crnnlicrry swamp waitin' for
a der that mout mebbe come along to
chaw the wild grass, an' seen' Hob
with his gun, hcadin' for Tamarack
swamp to git hi two b'ars.
"I didn't say nothin' to him 'bout
what I'd seen over to lily's clearin',
'cause I thought there mow t setch
a thing be that the two b'ars the
Nelson boys got wa'n't the Hob Skiles
two orphans urtcr all. but I couldn't
help retiiiirkln' to myself, as Hob
went on to'nrd the swamp that some
times a feller is a leetle too sure o'
things 'spcniully if It's b'ar.
"Well, sir, the eveiiin' o' that day,
as I was cnttiu' some steaks olTcn
the ham o' that buck I had knocked
over when It come along to eat wild
grass on the cranberry mash, who
should come in but Hob Hkilcs.
"'Hello, Hubert!' says I. 'Where'
the two orphans?'
"Hob was lookin' glum an' disiip
p'inted. "'Sabln,' says he, 'you know how
T tr sated that b'ar family. I could
'a plunked the ol' woman b'ar nn'
gobbbsl her young una ten months
ago, 'most, if I'd a been a mind to,'
says he, 'hut 1 treated 'em white, an'
give ein a chnnce to be somebody an'
to have some high ol' fun with m
this fall,' aays he. 'I've been a
reg'lnr father tn that family,' snye
he. 'When I found nut that one o'
the young 'una was turnin' out to be
a sheep thief I put him out o' the
way o' temptation.
" 'Then I see that the id' woman
b'ar wns gcttin' old an' sassy, an'
I fixed her so she couldn't git her
dander up nn' mnke herself look un
pleasant any more. Hut,' says Hob,
'1 kep' my eye on t'other two young
uns,' 'bo's they wouldn't git to goiu'
wrong, an' so's they could still have
a bully chance to be nn hand when I
wanted 'em, so's they could show
they 'predated what I had dona for
'em.
" 'Hut what hnve they done?' says
Hob. 'Here was their chance to
day, tn show their gratitude, but
'slid o' dotn' of it they go an' hide,'
he says, 'an' make me trapse an'
trudge an' tumble 'round In id' Tam
arack nn eery which way through

neither one on 'em show up! I
call that, Sabln,' says Hob, 'a treat in'

"'That's Jest what It is, Hubert,' I
say. 'Hut they hain't made nothin'
by It,' I says.
" 'No?' be save. 'Why?'
" They didn't hide from you,' I
says to Hob.
"An' then I up nn' told him all

made whereby, even if the hinges were .

Very few people are nwnre, however,
how simple are the Inst ruments need-

safe with nitro-glyccrine, and just how
he proceeds to Imimiichs. His outfit
coimi-Is of a few pounds of putty, a

A MEXICAN FESTIVAL'
Curloui Religious Observance Among
the Peon Indians. ,
Orolesiia Deeoratluu of Aalssals
lha rlaarela lh ilnaolar Csr
inoslsl of HUaslBB (or
at. Aalhoar.
During March there occurs in the
remoter villages of Mexico a curious
observance now pructicaily obsolete
elsewhere. It Is the blessing of the
animals in honor of St. Anthony, und
is accounted oue of the great days
of the year by the peon Indians, who
bring their "aniinalitos" to the ceie
mony in festal attire of astonishing
variety and effect, says Youth's ( nni
panion. Anklets, collars, frills, bows, bells,
blnnkets, streamers, rosettes even
miniature Jacket, caps and trousers,
and patterns executed with dye or
paint brush, ure nil. in fashion on
that day among the uatonished ami
frequently iudiguant animals, which
range in kind froir huge plow oen
und sullen fighting bulls to pet cats
and tiny love birds. All In turn arc
brought up to the padre, hprinUed.
blessed, and adjured in the name of
the venerable, saint who loved their
kind to be faithful and serviceable.
(irotesqu indeed are many of the
candidates. A visitor not long ago
described those he noticed, some of
which were comics 1 enough to bring
a smile even to the lips of the padre
himself, as he dispensed his equnl
blessing upon bedizened niulra,
whimpering puppies and contempla
tive, cattle wreathed from hoof to
horn -even including a piteous dead
rabbit with a ribbon round Its neck,
held pp by a tearful little boy amid
sympathetic murmurs from the
crowd. It was the only creature that
wns still; th place resounded with
bnrklng, brayUig. squealing, cackling
and clucking; with laughter and the
sounds of flapping, trampling,
scrambling and scurrying hither and
thither.
Among the animals was one puppy
painted In pink and blue stripe
around its fat body, and with n huge
pink bow attached fn it infantile
stub of tail. A piirple-nnd-plnk dyed
kitten was brought forward by u lit
tle girl, who carried It" in a parrot
cage decked wltb flowers. A lamb,
snowy wdiitc. Its fleece tied with blue
ribbons and its neck garlanded with
blue forget-me-not, received the ap
plause of the spectators, who, on the
other hand, greeted with derisive
crioa'n belligerent old goat butting
at. everybody with horrfs Incongru
ously adorned wdth gay streamers.
A peon, from under whose cloak
poked the pink noses of five tiny
squirming pigs, struggled long and
gallantly, assisted by much advice
from the onlookers, liefore he was
able to drive forward their grunting
and resentful mother, half of whose
decorations were rubbed off, and the
rest all soiled and awry.
A culminating sensation wns cre
ated when the proud owner of a fine
Hock of poultry displayed his fowU,
each bewildered hen arrayed In a pa
per K.ton jacket, neck frill und bon
net tied nniler her chin.
The pigs and mules were the most
ill-hchaicd iiuiiunls; the dogs the
best, ami best nf nil, cheered by the
I'rtavil mid smiled on beuevnluntly by
the padre, was a demure little dug
that trntted fnrward and sat up pn
litely on Its hind legs to beg for a
blessing.
