still an' the people was all lookin' at me.
My struggles was awful ;'l worked an'
worked try in' to open my jaws till I
could feel my eyes startin' out o' their
sockets, an' the sweat pourin' off me.
Bimeby a man in the audience sung out
'Give your whiskers a pull !' So I took
hold of my chin whiskers an' giv' !em an
awful yank an' it's lucky I did, fur it
woke me up, an' not a wink too soon
fur thar lookin' in through the knothole,
with his f orepaws restin' on the edge,
was Mr. Bruin. Fur a second or so I
rubbed my eyes, fur the early daylight
was behind him, an' the smoky flare o"
my lamp made him look like a night
mare, but 1 didn't wait long, fur 1 got
-one whiff of his breath, smellin' o' roots
an' honey you know a b'ar's got the
sweetest breath in the world any of
you ever smell a b'ar's breath?" Here
Orizzly paused and looked around.
No one in his audience seemed to have
had that experience, but an interested
listener remarked: k4Next time I meet
a bear I will take notice."
"Well" Grizzly continued, "even in
the flash that it took me to seize my rifle
and fire it gave me a spasm of pain to
think that 1 had him too close, an' at
such an awkward range. Howsomever
1 s,ent a ball crashin' through his jaw, an'
up into his head, an' he fell back with a
grindin' snarl. Then 1 scrambled up
an' got my hand an' shoulders an'
rifle out o the hole an' fired down
on him, an' put a ball through his
heart. If I'd had a bay'net 1 could
'a' stabbed him instead. So unsports
manlike! But what was I to do? 1
hadn't hunted the b'ar he'd hunted me.
Then 1 laid down an' went to sleep ag'in,
an' I've wure my whiskers long ever
since."
"And how about Mr. Hawkins V" in
quired a b.) stander.
"Oil, lie s alive yit," answered Grizzly,
shuttling oil'.
Ilre'r llubbit and the lur Wolf.
A long time ago there was a season of
dry weather among the Cherokee In
dians. No more water remained in the
rivers and ponds, and all the animals
were terribly worried to know what
they were going to do about it.
Finally they called a council and it
was decided they should dig a well
which should belong to all of them.
Everybody was willing, except the
rabbit, who was ho idle that he couldn't
bear the thought of having to work even
for his own comfort.
"I won't ijinyou," he said, because I
get all the water I want from the dew,
so that 1 don't need a well."
The other animals didn't like this, but
nevertheless they dug the well without
the rabbit's help. After it was dug
they noticed that the rabbit looked very
comfortable and quite as if he had all the
water he wanted to drink.
For this reason, ihey suspected the
rabbit was taking the water out of their
well at night. &o they made a wolf of
pine gum and tar and put it by the well
to frighten the rabbit.
When the rabbit came to get the water
that night he saw the tar wolf and
asked who it was.
But, naturally, the tar wolf made no
answer. Then the rabbit became very
courageous, and said : " Go away from
here or I'll kick you." The tar wolf , of
course, made no reply, whereupon the
rabbit kicked him with all his might,
and his foot stuck fast to the tar wolf,
so that he could not get loose.
He tried and tried, but he was unable
to free himself, so that next' morning,
when all the other animals got there,
they made all the fun of him that they
wanted to. But the rabbit was so clever
that as soon as he was freed from the
tar wolf he got away from them anyhow.
