The Grizzly Will Ru«.
The averago grizzly, says Mr.
Roosevelt in the New York Sun, has but
one idea when ho sees a man, and that
is to get away; Even it will run wounded as quickly as
a rabbit. when a great
many bears absolutely refuse to tight,
seeking refuge only in flight. Never
theless, there nro plenty of grizzlies that
will fight when cornered, and there are
a very few which will take the offensive
themselves without any particular pro¬
vocation.
Personally I have never been charged
but once, and this was by a grizzly
which I had twice wounded and had
approached late to within when forty yards of,
one evening I Jyid strolled
away from camp more with •;,© hope of
knocking oft' the head of a -rouse than
with the expectation of seeing any larger
game. This bear came me most
resolutely, nioked the although of one his oi heart my shots and
point four
although one of bullets which I put
into him would have ultimately proved
mortal.
AU of the other bears I have killed
started to run, or fell at the first fire, so
that they It had no chance of unsafe showing
fight. is, however, very for
a man to generalize in uny kind or
shooting, and particularly in bear shoot¬
ing, merely from his own experience.
Thus, I know one gentleman, an officer
of the United States army, who has
killed six grizzlies, three of them
charging him before they were wounded
or even fired at. The incidents of the
three charges were curiously alike; that
is, he stumbled on the bear in each case
at tolerably eloso quarters, at from ten
to twenty yards away from him, and
each time the instant the animal saw
him it galloped toward him like a loco
motive, well-placed only riflo to ball. be rolle^jijiiver by a
V
The grizzly is very tenacious of life,
and so great are his vitality will and
pugnacity that a fighting boar body ia fairly con¬
tinue charging when its
riddled wirii bullets. A shot in the
brain or spino will of course bring one
down in its trucks, but. even a bullet
through the heart will not prevent an
enraged grizzly from making good it*
chargo at close quarters.
Brooaded silk fora party dress is very
stylish.

The Kansas “wolf-drive” is a great in¬
stitution, for it satisfies the natural
craving of man to kill something without
exposing hitnsolf to danger, and it in
therefore exceedingly popular. 1 In the
townships and Crawford of Walnut, Sherman, Grant,
wolves and foxes, which
driven mnltiply alarmingly fast, have been
by the severe cold this winter to
acts of depredation surprising for their
boldness and ferocity. The farmers
have risen up and organized for the pur¬
pose of cleariug the country of tho four
footed raiders. Upwards of 4,000 men
engage in the wolf-drive, and thoy beat
over a tract ten miles square. The affair
is conducted with military exactness and
discipline. in A general is chosen, and he
and turn picks out his stuff* aud battalion
company commanders. The signal
for starting is a fusillade of shots tired
by the leaders of each squad. With
1,000 men on each side of tho square
there are 100 men to tho mile, or one at
intervals of about fifty feet. Tbe lines
hour. are supposed to move one mile each half
and Every man has a horn or a drum,
his instructions are to make as much
noiso as he can. Wolves are not to bo
killed until rounded up in the common

mile from the centre the report of a can¬
non announces that the battle is about to
begin, aud the forces are aligned and put
in readiness. liness. Only ^ * such of the hunters
as firearms; are designated by the general carry
the others are armed with clubs
to prevent the beasts from escaping. A
great number of wolves are often rounded
up, and when the word is given they are
picked off While by tho appointed sharp
shooters. the “drive” is the oo
casion for a good deal of fun, killing is
the business of the day, and the best
marksmen attend to this.

On the occasion of the wreck of the

with a very heavy sea, after four men
