How Roosevelt Kjilled the Huge Grizzly BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Extracts from "The Wilderness Hunter," copyrighted 1893 by O. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and Lon- don. Reproduced In this newspaper un- der special arrangements with O. P. Putnam's Sons. A grizzly bear will only flght if wounded or cornered, or, at least, thinks himself cornered. If a inaTi by accident stumbles' onto one close up, he Is almost cer- tain to be attacked, really more from fear than from any other mo- tive; exactly the same reason that makes a rattlesnake strike at a passer-by. I have personally known of but one instance of a grizzly turning on a hunter before bing wounded. This happened to a friend of mine, a California ranchman, who, with two or three of his men, was fol- lowing a bear that had carried off one of his sheep. They got the bear into a cleft in the mountain from which there was no escape, and he suddenly charged back through the line of his pursuers, struck down one of the Norsemen, seized the arm of the man In his jaws and broke it as if It had been a pipe stem, and was only killed after a most lively fight an which, by repeated charges, he at one time drove every one of his Assailants off the Held. * * * Early next morning we were over at the elk carcass, and as we expected, found that the grizzly had eaten his fill at It during the night. His tracks showed him to be an Immense fellow, and were so fresh that we doubted If he had left long before we arrived; and we made up our minds to follow him up and try to find his lair. The bears that lived on these moun- tains had evidently been little dis- turbed; indeed, the Indians and most of the white hunters are rath- er chary of meddling with "Old Kphraim," as the mountain men style the grizzly, unless they get bim at a disadvantage, for the sport Is fraught with some danger tand but small profit. My companion was a skillful tracker and we took up the trail at once. For some distance It led over the soft, yielding carpet of moss and pine needles and the foot prints were quite easily made out, although we could follow them but slowly; for we had, of course, to keep a sharp lookout ahead and around us as we walked noiseless- ly on in the somber half-light al- ways prevailing under the great pine trees. We made no sound ourselves, and every little sudden noise sent a thrill through me as I peered about \u25a0with each sense on the alert * * ? After going a few hundred yards kthe track turned off on a well- f beaten path made hy the elk; the woods were in many places cut up by these game trails, which had often become as distinct as ordin- ary foot paths. The beast's fot orlnts were per- fectly plain in the dust, and he had lumbered along up the path until near the middle of the hillside, where the ground broke away and there were hollows and boulders. Here there had hoen a windfall, and the dead trees lay among the living. The trail turned off Into the tan- gled thicket, within which it was almost certain we would find our quarry. We could still follow tho tracks, by the slight, scrapes of tho claws on the bark, or by the bent or broken twigs; and we advanced with noiseless caution, slowly climbing over the dead tree trunks and upturned stumps, and not let- ting a branch rustle or catch on our clothes. When in the middle ofthe thicket we crossed what was almost a breastwork of fallen logs, and Mer- rill eld. who was leading, passed by the upright stem of a great pine. As Boon as bo was by It he sank suddenly on one knee, turning half round, his face fairly aflame with excitement; and as I strode past him, with my rifle at the ready, there, not 10 steps off, was the great bear, slowly rising from his bed among the young spruces. He had heard us, but apparently hardly knew exactly where or what we were, for he reared up on his baunches sideways to us. Then he saw us and dropped down again on all fours. The shaggy hair on his neck and- shoulders seemed to bris- tle as he turned toward us. As he sank down on his forefeet I had raised the rifle; his head was bent slightly down, and when I saw the top of the white bead fairly be- tween his small glittering, evil eyes I pulled trigger. Half rising up, the huge beast fell over on his side in the death throes, the ball having gone into his brain, striking as fairly between the eyes as if the distance had been meas- ured by a carpenters' rule. The whole thing was over in 20 second from the time I caught sight of the game; indeed, it was over so quickly that the grizzly did not have time to show fight at all or come a step toward us. It was the first I had ever seen and I felt not a little proud as I stood over the great brindled bulk which lay stretched out at length in the cool shade of the evergreens. He was a monstrous fellow, much larger than any I have ever seen LATEST PHOTOGRAPH OF CHRISTY MATHEWSON OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS, IN BETTER FORM THIS SEASON THAN EVER BEFORE CALLED BILL SQUIRES A "BLOODY HORSE" BY BILL SQUIRES Another peculiar fight In which I figured waa with Peter Follx, a colored boxer. It was our second meetings? The first time I fought Felix I knocked him out In 11 rounds at Newcastle. In our sec- ond go I knocked him out In 7 rounds at Sydney and In our third meeting I turned the trick in 1 round in Sydney. In the secoud meeting, along in the last part of the second round, I broke my left hahd with a punch that struck Fellxs forearm. I con- tinued to fight with my left hand hanging limp my side until the seventh round. Then I saw an opening, but I could not reach it with my right, and In a moment of excitement I let go with the broken hand, which da/.ed Felix. I then Quickly followed and finished him with my right. After my third meeting with Felix a friend of my manager asked Felix If he didn't think I was a pretty strong man, which drew from Felix the remark, "Man? God might have meant him for a man, but turned him out a bloody horse." HOW ACTORS GAMBLE "Willie" Collier, comedian. Is said to be fond of the race track when he Is auead of the game. He since, whether alive or brought in dead by the hunters. As near as we could estimate he must have weighed about 1200 pounds, and though this is not as large as some of his kind are said to grow in Cali- fornia, it is yet a very unusual size for a bear. He waa a good deal heavier than any of our horses, and it "was with the greatest difficulty that we were able to skin him. He must have been very old, his teeth and claws being all worn down and blunted; but nevertheless he had been living iv plenty, for he was as fat as a prize hog, the layers on his back being a finger's length in thickness. doesnt' think it is much fun, though when It Is necessary to spend an entire afternoon trying to get out. With the exception ot Col- lier, Nat Goodwin, George Cohan, Dave Montgomery, Lew Fields and Lillian Russell, the celebrities of the footlights usually wager with the soft pedal. Miss Russell is said to have wagered as much as $5,000 several times In order to get out. She is doubtless the highest betting woman in the country. They do say that Lily Lantry once placed 5,000 pounds on one of her ponies at Ascot, Kngland. Jockey Walter Miller has small ground for complaint about being set down. He Is not the only one in tho class. Some of those who have played his mounts recently have been set down good and hard. The Cubs have lost hut three games this season on their own grounds. Catcher Lou Hitter coaches him- self at bat. He wiggles one foot at the pitcher and makes funny noises calculated to capsize the twlrler. Fred Teuney, of the Boston Na- tionals, has played his first Sun- day game In 20 years. How Is that for backsliding?

You should do this .1 times, each of you count- ing together, one, two, three. This preliminary work has a dou- ble purpose. It enables both of you to get firmly llxed and ready for the "tug of war." And then It Is In Itself a splendid exercise, as you will discover after you have tried It a few times. At tho count of 3 something ex- citing happens.
