Sometimes Just a little rldg* might hava separated us, where 1 could see, possibly the next morning after, that he had been hav ing a floe feast In a blueberry patch. Ons night we were a little more so ciable. I had Just removed the pelt from s coyote, and had intended ear ning the carcass away from camp the next day, but left It that night a few feet from my tent During the night my frtsod (who, by the way, always reminds me of a good-natured boy with a far overcoat on), came down and save* me tbe trouble by carrying It away for me. I did not hear him arrive, for I believe I was asleep, but tbe telltale tracks were enough to Convince me In the morning. And so by having lived with him in his own home, watched, photographed, and studied Ma way*, I can set down for those who may be interested, some of his characteristics and habits. Tbe range of tbe black bear ex tends from Mexico to' Alaska, and they have been met with in nearly every state and territory within the United State*; also Labrador, Province of Quebec, Alberta and Assinlbola, Brltlah Columbia, and tbe Mackensle River basin. All black bears hibernate during the winter months. There are. however, woodsmen In the south who disagree with m* on this point, saying they hava seen their tracks during every month of tbe winter, and the mild climate does not {orce them to lay up la a cave or den ss it would In the more severe weather of northern latitude*. I have mytielf seen bear track* during the winter months, and even In the deep snow of tbe northern state, nut this Is the exception, and I have no doubt that these bears are simply shifting to another sleeping place, having been driven out for one reason or another. Their dens may not have been well chosen, and they poaalhly became leaky, or expoaed to the wlnda, or some hunter might pass that way with a keen nose and an in quisitive canine that would cause him to roll out in a hurry, it Is safe to say all black bears den up both north and south, aometlme between Novem ber 1 and January 1, depending on the altitude, weather and latitude. They emerge In the spring, usually from the first part of April to the mid dle of May, according to conditions, the male* often appearing some two weetas before the femaleß. It Is at tills time In the spring, just after they have left their winter quarters, that a bear's pelt" I* In Its prime. During hibernation, as no food Is latd up, they, of course, do not eat, nor do they drink, unless they make use of the snow that has fallen about them. Contrary to tho general supposition, they are not in a deep coma or liaxy condition, for they are easily aroused. It Is true that they sleep, but are quick to detect danxer and fully equal to the occasion of making off and looking up other quarters if dis turbed. The cunning little cubs (for what deserve* the name more than a little woolly, back cub?) are brought forth during hibernation, usually between February 1 and March 1, and it Is several weeks before they are able to leavo the den with their mother. From one to four cubs may be born—l would aay two or throe Is the aver age; four Is rare, but throe Is often met with, and a she-benr followed by one cub does not always indicate that tbe young hopeful had no brothers or sisters, as they may not have sur vived all tho dangers of cubdom. At birth they arc ridiculously small, com pared with the size of the mother, and weigh but a few ounces. I have never weighed one. but understand that Dr. lloroaday, director of tha New York Zoological park, has, and their weight runs from 8 to 18 ounces, depending on the number In the lit ter. Their eye* are closed —they have no teeth, nor have they their little furry Jacket as yet. The reason ad vanced for hpara being so unusually small at birth, Is that the old bear having remained all winter without food, and not being able to forage for udm week* after the young are born, It would naturally be a great drain to nurse cubs that weighed several pounda. So Nature has thus provided la this way. Unlike the grtxily, the black bears mato every year, or nearly so. Qrlx xlys may be put down for about every other year. When the cubs are from alx to eight week* old, they are able te accompany their mother and do *o all during that summer. It is usually abont berry time before the little fel low* develop a grown up appetite and cotniaeace to rustle for themselves. Not very long after this the old bear drive* them off to shift for them selves. la aoase cases they have been louad denning the following fall with their mother, but this is unusual. Now a little bear knows exactly what he wants, and what is good to eat ju*t aa wall as you do. He know* •very root, every bulb, every b*rry that wIQ make him fat and happy. Uew 4mm ha know this?

When I say this I have in mind the follow lng case that was brought to my no tice: A young cub, only a few weeka old, wan caught one spring and fed on milk. He was kept in camp until the following fall when they moved camp down on some bottom lands. Here, while running about, he would sud denly stop, dig up some roots and de vour them with a relish. Ho seemed to be as fully prepared to forage for himself as if he had been taking les sons from his mother all Bummer. Another much mistaken idea about the black bear is that he emerges from his winter quarters very thin and emaciated (this so far, is true); that he Is desperately hungry after his long fast; or is terribly ferocious, and inclined to attack anything on sight, man includod. This is not so. although I have often heard it so stated. Not oven a black bear with his enviable digestive apparatus can or does indulge in a hearty meal after BO long a fast. The organs of a bear are no different from those of a man in this respect, and after their long disuse are only capable of assimilat ing the daintiest morsels qf food — such as grass shoots, tender »oots and their like. In fact, at first they show little or no desire to eat, but after a few days they commence to partake again of pretty much everything. 1 say this because a bear omnivorous, which means that he eats quite gener ally everything—both vegetables and meat. They are not as carnivorous as generally supposed, usually being con tented with such small animals as ground squirrels and field mice, but still, when the opportunity offers, they have a great propensity for stealing down ever so carefully to a near by farm and carrying off a fat little shoat. They, too, have a great weak ness for sheep, and it is hardly neces sary for me to mention honey and sweets, for here we see him again like a good-natured, mischievous boy. The various insects form a long list of goodies for them, and they spend much of their time overturning stones, prying open old stumps and logs, pok ing their nose and sniffing at every tiny hole or crevice for such dainty morsels as grubs. caterpillars, crickets, and ants. The black bear seems to partake of such a variety of food that It Is hard to say just which he enjoys the most. Ants are one of his favorite dishes, and I have no doubt that they consume as many of these as some of the anteaters of South America. One of their favorite methods of catching a certain species of antt, which are very vicious little fighters. Is to thrust a paw in the midst of one of their hills, and as they swarm over the bear's paw with the purpose of attacking their enemy, they are quickly lapped up. But what greater picture of content ment can one Imagine than a bear In a good-sized blueberry patch? Sitting half up on his haunches and pulling the branches towards him with his paws—fairly shoveling in the berries that help fatten him up for the long winter —they are Indeed great berry eaters and will often travel miles to locate a patch, and then will patronise It long and often. v . Last fall In the Sierra Mad re moun tains In northern Mexico I was camped 1 for niM weeks on a wild canyon throoih which ran a small river. Along the banks graw numerous Juniper trees and for miles I oould see where the branches had been literally all pulled down by boars in pursuit of the sweet Juniper berries. I do not think I have ever seen so much bear sign; it looked as if all the bear in the country had been In on the great feast. It was the latter part of De cember and they had just recently gone into winter quarters, or we certainly would have been able to make a record on bears if we had cared to. There is another red berry that grows in that section the bear are very fond of, I think the name is manacea It Is i a low-growing tree and the bears are • often given to sunning themselves in - these trees. > The black bear prefers his meat > well tainted, and, In fact, I do not be > Ueve It can be too strong for him. > Unlike the grlszly he does not cover > over or bury a carcass, but this again Is only\characteristic of him, for he - does not feed, or in fact do anything I as systematically or as seriously as ' the grlszly—much preferring a little mischief to and here again we see him the happy-go-lucky fellow. I cannot take space to mention all the 1 fancies of his appetite, but this gives a very good general Idea of his diet. I must not omit to say, however, he Is something of a fisherman, both for game and for sport, and with a quick stroke of his paw, sends many an unsuspecting fish hurtling through the dJr to land well up on the bank, where he can once more please his palate. I have often heard of seven hundred pound black bears; there are none. Be tween four and flvo hundred pounds are as heavy as they will ever tip the scales. Bears are very rarely weighed by hunters, and the estimates given of their weight are very often much In excess, but, of course, not always purposely so. Broadly speaking, I would say that the average weight of the average black bear, taking them as yoft happen to And them, would be approximately one hundred and fifty pounds. 1 am not speaking of full grown bears, as one is likely to kill several partly-grown bears to one full grown. A full-grown bear in the spring riay weigh but a little over two hun dred, and the eame bear In the fall might easily be close to a four hun dred pounder. How many of us have gone into the woods In our early hunting days and looked around wondering which would really be the safest tree to shin up In case an old black bear should have designs on us. Now that'little sapling over there looks good. They say a slim tree with no branches Is the best to nest in on an occasion like this. But for those who do not already know, we will settle that ques tion right here. It does not matter in the least what tree you select, wheth er It is one some two or three feet In | diameter, or Just that little sapling; It Is safe to say If you can get up, so can the bear. But this Is the point; he won't come. No black bear, when | given such a fine opportunity to get ' away, will stick around. Their claws, which are very unlike those of the grizzly, are especially adapted for 1 climbing, while the front pawa of a 1 grlszly are especially adapted for dig -1 glng, being long, and from four to six 1 Inches in length, and nearly straight 1 Grizzlies do not and cannot climb > trees. On the other hand, the black bear's claws are shorter, more curved, ' and thicker at the base, which enables i them to go up a huge tree very much ; as a cat or a squirrel would, and also : a slim one just large enough to aus i tain their weight ■ In conclusion would say that I do l not prentend to know all about black ' bear*—no one man can; but I have > found them sufficiently Interesting to » have taken a great deal of pleasure In devoting a long study to them, and - have here set down only what I know I to be facts. ■2O Pretty Rooms j-in.Hilffj FREE BOOK! —don't you want to see them ?
