TH ü MDAT, Jori 1, IMI IN TIGHT CORNER Trapper Tells How It Feels to Be * Trapped. Bear Huntsr Experienced Uneomfort able Night in Snare He Had Pre- pare« tor Ferocious Old Gr.z^ly. "Uld Mose” was one of the most fe­ rocious bears in the Rockies. He was a notorious "bad actor," according to Mr. A. L. Corson in the Wide World Magazine, and foiled all attempts to shoot or trap him. Indeed, he seemed to have a charmed life. On one occasion a man named Han­ cock tried to trap him. lu placing the bait inside the trap, Haucock ac­ cidentally touched the trigger, and the logs came down and imprisoned him. He tried to pry the heavy timbers apart, but found thut he could not shift them an ingli. From one side of the trap to the other he went, uncon­ sciously imitating the movements Bruin would have made in hunting for a weak point. AU his efforts were fruitless. The pangs of hunger were now coin­ ing on, and night was near. Hancock scraped up some chips and twigs, made a fire and roasted part of tile deer that he had brought to bait the trap with. Being lightly dressed, lie suf­ fered keenly from the cold night air. He lay down on the ground, but sud­ denly he heard sniffing sounds out­ side and detected, by the dim light of the moon, a dark form gazing through the chinks between the logs. Hancock felt safe, although his gun was stand­ ing by a tree some distance from the trap; Mose—for it was no other— seemed to realize the fact. Knowing his savage nature, Han­ cock withdrew to the other side of the trap as the big form rose up on his hind legs. He could feel the bear’s hot breath surging through between the logs upon his face; and, fearing that the brute would thrust his claws In. he kept moving from side to side. Daylight came at last, and Mose trotted off. Again Hancock built a fire and cooked the rest of the deer meat. He almost decided to set on" end of the -trap on tire nnd burn Ills way out. But what if he were un­ able to control the blaze? If he could reach his rille, lie would Jae in a posi­ tion to shoot his way out, for lie had a belt full of cartridge’s. His horse, tired of standing round, had long ago made for home. The next morning, the neighbors, seeing Hancock's horse In the yard, surmised that the “outlaw of the Rock­ ies” had secured another victim. Sev- eeral cattlemen started out in search of Hancock. In the middle of the afternoon they heard shooting, but at first they could see nothing. Hancock had torn his shirt into strips, making a rope about 20 feet long. He had then tied two stones to a string about a yard long and fas­ tened one end of the long line to the mtddle. Then he threw the stones out between the cracks of his prison toward the rifle. After two hours of practice he was able to drag the gun within reach. He then tried des­ perately to "nt his way out by shoot­ ing holes through a log about a foot in diameter. Before he got very far his comrades had located the shot» and released him. Had Feared the Worst It is a, sad thing to have to relate, but Mr. Spongedry came home the oth­ er night “wet.” Not externally, but internally; he had drunk wine or spir­ its or beer! With uncertain footsteps he climbed the stairs, with itchy, nervous fingers he unclothed himself, witli swimming head he lay down in his bed. Mrs. Spongedry had, however, heard his antl-catlike tread. Thinking to frighten him. she cov­ ered her head with a sheet and ap­ proached his bed. Spongedry sat up in bed and gazed In wonder at the spook. “Who is that?” he asked. “I am a ghostcame the answer from the sheet. “Oh. that's all right, then: But you did give me a fright! I thought you were my wife!"—London Tit-Bits.

Mr. T. had visited the D. family long enough to find that they were strong on culture but weak on com­ forts, such as a sufficient supply of hot water, food and even heat. One cold night he shivered in the living room while the members of the family held a discussion on their pet hobbies. One said that she “dearly loved great paintings,” another professed a fond­ ness for “great works of literature" and tlie third spoke eloquently on "great works of sculptors." Finally it came the guest's time to converse, He shivered a minute and then gave a feeble smila “Right now," he said earnestly, "I have u de elded fondness for a grate tire. ther: “We have ly applied, five or more years, keeping the wood like new. Some people figure paint econ­ omy as “cost per gallon.” That is wrong. For “cheap” paint doesn’t cover so much surfdte— |'ou buy more gallons. “Cheap” paint is harder to spread and you have more labor cost. So the “cheap” paint on the house costs just as much as the best of paint. Don’t allow surfaces to rot— it costs less to paint them. “Cheap” paint on the aver­ age starts cracking in twelve months, while the best paint stays intact from five to ten times longer, if properly applied. Figure the cost per year of service and decide which paint you want to use. We spend more to make paints for your economy. Be sure you get them when you paint. 1 j la". ' >» I i
