Whose Say-so Is Best?
With nearly all medicine put up for
ale through druggists, one has to take
the maker' say-su alone as to tliolr cura
tive value. Of course, sucb testimony Is
not that of a dl-mUTi'sti-d party and
accoriliiitrly I nut to be given the same
credit an If written from disinterested
motive. Dr. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form a slnirlo and therefore striking
ciceptlon to tliln rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rent
solely upon their makers' say-so or
praise. Their ingredient are matters of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottl wrapper. Thus Invalid
sufferers are taken Into Dr. I'lerce's full
confidence. Ncores of leading medical
Ben have written enough to fill volumes
In praltte of the curative value of the

HIS BEAR CROP
A FAILURE
Bob 6kllcs, Hunter, Lament
Bruin's Ingratitude.
"
said
GUESS ol' Bob Skiles won't never
have no confidence in b'ars ag'in,"
Sabin Budd, who Mi area rattle
snakes with a leather string and hunts
deer and bears with a single-barreled
muzals-loadlng shotgun. "And it
sarves him right, so it does."
Bob Skiles is famous in the neigh
borhood of Kettle Creek, Pa., as a
bear hunter and one who pretends to
use philosophical forethought as an
aid to his hunting. Thus, one day last
spring he discovered a family of bears
in the wooda along Polly's Run. It
consisted of a big and savage mother
bear and three cubs.- The cubs were
but a few weeks old.
Skiles' first impulse was to put a
ball through the old ; bar , as , she
rushed toward him from her retreat
beneath the roots of a fallen tree, and
to carry the cubs home allv; but on
second thought he resolved to apart
the family. He knew that the cub
would pine for their mother and par-
haps would not live under alien care
and treatment.
Til just let the hull caboodle of 'em
alone," said Bob. "Biz months from
now them cubs'U be in fine shape to
give me some fun in the wooda, and
the ol' woman b'ar'II have a nire new
roat o' fur on to her. I'll let 'em live,
and reap the harvest o' my bein' kind
to 'em along when snow begins to fly
next fall."
So he did what no other hunter in all
that spread of waters would have done.
He passed on and left the bear family
to itself.
About two week before Thanksgiv
ing he had the satisfnotion of knowing
thnt the eubs had grown to be more
then half as big aa their mother, fat as
pigs ready for the killing, end with
conts of fur of the Murkest and
glossiest. The mother wns also in
superb coat and finest condition. They
were snugly housed in Tamarack
swamp.
"Guess 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 again. The old bear and
two of the cubs 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 IUj's
clearing.
"That ain't reg'lnr,"snid Bob. "That
b'ar ain't aetln' square!"
So he followed the cub, which went
along at a lively rate, and turned into
the woods, at the further edge of
which Illy had a few sheep in a lot,
with a long fence around it. Bob
Silkes hurried on, and came out of the
wooda into the lot Just aa the young
bear had cornered the sheep and had
killed one.
"That bein' the case," said Bob, "I'll
have to have my fun with this young
rub right now."
And he killed the cub and gave it to
ply because It killed Bly's sheep.
A day or two afterward Bob had
an offer of a good price for a big
bearakin, and be went out to get the
mother of the family. He got on
her trail. The two young bears were
with her.
Hob followed her for an hour be
fore he got a shot, and the old bear
turned on him so fiercely that if it
had not been for his dog she might
have got him instead of his getting
hr, but he got her. The two young
Iimam went, lln a rilir irm '
"J Wave 'em," Md Boh. "V
have a ThankBglvIn' htlht 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 leas than a week after that,
though, some one from the county
seat sent word to Bob that If he
could send over a couple of bears,
young, fat and Juicy, right away, he
could get his own price for them, so
Bob concluded that he wouldn't keep
ho two remaining members of the
family waiting for him tiny longer,
httd he started out bright and enrly
to get them for the man at the
Comity seat. Babin Budd tell the
rest.
" Taln't fef me to be, the Jedge ov
folks' rtoln's," said Sahln, "but when
a feller has nosed around in the
woods us much aa Hob Skile has, an'
then goes un" puts his coiitldenee In
b'ars, it sarves him riirht if be gits
fooled. 1 was set tin' on n log over
thia side o' the big Cranberry mash,
waltin' fer ft deer that I thought
tnrblie mowt come nloti;r to chew
some, o' the wild grass on the edge
of it, and who should 1 see but Boh
with his trim on his shoulder, bound
for soinewheres.
"'Hello, ltolv!" I sung out. 'Where
do you think you're goln'T' !
" 'tloin' to pit them two b'ars '
mine that's over on the edge o old
Tamarack, waitiu' fer me.'
"So?, 1 says. 'Hope you'll git
'em,' 1 says.
" ' Yourse I'll git 'em!' says Hob.
"I didn't say notion' mure, nn' on
lie went. 1 l.iokel alter him fill he
got out o' mM. Then I savs to my-i-elf:
" "Si'im times ti feller is a lectio too
sure o' tl'incs. 'Specially If it' b'ar,'

"So I f.it nn the leu and sort o

too sure o' things. 'Specially if it's
b'ar,' I says.
"Now, the reason why I said that
was somethin like this. The day
afore I was settin' on that log waitin'
for the deer an' had that talk with
Bob Skiles I was over to Bly's clearin'.
It was along in the arternoon when
I stopped there, an' Bly says to
me:
" 'Why ain't you out helpin' 'em
ketch the b'ar?' says he.
" 'B'ar?' I says. 'What b'ar?'
"The fattest an "blackest young
b'ar you ever see,' says Bly. 'One o
the Nelson boys saw it first, wab
blin' along not more'n a mile from
here, up the creek,' says he. 'It was
headin' in from Tamarack swamp.'
" 'Bo? I says. 'If there was two
b'ars now, 'stid o' one, I'd think sure
they must belong to Bob Skiles' b'ar
family the two that 's waitin' for
him to have fun with, I says.
"'Mebba,' says Bly, an' that's all
that was said jist then, about b'ar.'
" 'Long to'arda night, as I was on
the p'int o' leaving Bly's, in come
the Nelson boys an' - two or three
more. They was hootin' an' howlin
as if they'd jest eome in from elec
tion. An' they had good reason for
hootin'. They hadn't only fetched in
the b'ar that Bly waa talkin' about,
but they had fetched in another un
with it, jest the aame size aa' heft.
They was the fattest an' blackest
youngsters o' b'ars I ever see.
" They're the two orphans o' Bob
Skiles' b'ar family, aure aa sap!' saya
I. They be, certain.' An' they're
gone back onto Bob! 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 waa settin' on that
log nigh Cranberry swamp waitin' for
a der that moot mebbe come along to
chaw the wild grass, an' seen' Bob
with hia gun, headin' for Tamarack
swamp to git his two b'ars.
"I didn't any nothin' to him 'bout
what I'd seen over to Bly's clearin.
'cause I thought there mowt setch
a thing be thnt the two b'ara the
Nelson boys got wa'n't the Bob Skiles
two orphans nrter all, but I couldn't
help remnrkln' to myself, as Bob
Went on to'ard the swamp that some
times a feller ia a leetle too sure o'
things 'npeoinlly if it's b'ar.
"Well, sir, the evenin' o' that day,
as I was cuttin' some steaks often
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 Bob Skiles.
"'Hello, Itobert!' says I. 'Where's
the two orphans?'
"Bob was lookin' glum an' disap
p'inted. " 'Sabin,' says he, 'you know how
I treated that b'ar family. I could
'a plunked the ol' woman b'ar an'
gobbled her young uns ten months
ago, 'moat, if I'd a been a mind to,
says he, 'but I treated 'em white, an'
give "em a chance to be somebody an'
to have some high ol' fun with me
this fall,' says he. 'I've been a
reg'lnr father to that family,' says
he, 'When I found out thnt one o ,
the young 'uns wns turnln' out to lie
a sheep thief I put him out o' the
way o' temptation.
" 'Then I see that the ol' woman
b'ar was gettin' old an' snssy, an'
I fixed her so she couldn't git her '
dander up nn' make herself look un- !
pleasant any more. But,' Rnys Bob, !
'I kep' my eye on t'other two young
una," 'ao's they wouldn't git to goin'
wrong, nn' so's they could still hare :
a bully chance to be on hand when I j
wanted 'em, so's they could show
they" 'prceiated what I had done fos. '
'ru, j
" 'But what have they done?' says .
Bob, 'litre waa their chance to- I
day, to show their gratitude, but
'stid o' doln' of it they go an' hide,' i
he says, 'an' make me trapse an' :
trudge an' tumble 'round In ol' Tam
nrnrk an' every which way through
the woods,' he says, an' there don't
neither one on 'em show up! I
call that, Sabin,' says Bob, 'a treatln'

" 'That's jest what it is. Robert,' I
says. 'But they hain't made nothin' .
bv it.' I snvs. '
'" 'No?' he'snys. 'Why?'
" 'They didn't hide from you,' I
says to Hob, I
