V, Detrolt, Meh, Kiler, oe The Hunting of Emerson Hough MERSON HOUGH, who has given us an historical picture of the cowboy that hangs on the line in the literary portrait gallery along with Owen Wister’s romantic creations, is back in Chicago from a three months’ hunting trip in Alaska. Mr. Hough went to Alaska “loaded for bear.” Exhibiting what the dramatic critics call a “fine restraint,” he waives his timely op- portunity for discourse upon the celebrated gyascutus, which, as any Northwestern tourist will tell you, haunts the slopes of the most precipitous mountains—always eva- ding capture because its legs, shorter on the one side of the body than on the other, are peculiarly adapted to scooting up an in- clined plane. If you shut your eyes, and exclude all distracting sounds, you may frame a mental picture of Bruin gyascutus in action. You will then readily under- stand how such a bear, after once getting into his stride, is almost immediately lost to view, provided he is headed the right way. You will also clearly perceive that the gyascutus can proceed at this swift gait only in one direction. If his left legs are shorter than his right, and the moun- tain range runs the way he wants to go, his course is inland and his goal secure. But if the bear, while grazing! on the northern slope of a range running east and west, at- tempts to escape the hunter, it is obvious equally to John Burroughs and Professor Long that he must, if hotly pursued, ulti- mately run into the sea, or take the back track on the southern slope, only to fall upon the rifle of the hunter’s patient con- federate.? * & * ANY vexed questions concerning the gyascutus have arisen in debate among the adventurous tourists who make the perilous sea trip from ‘Tacoma to Sitka in the summer months. Does the brevity of all these bears’ legs, laterally speaking, correspond? Or, are there left-sided and right-sided t And if you flush covey? of left-sided and right-sided bears ‘on the southern slope of a mountain range running northeast by east, what would be the logical result? Again, if the brevity of limb is uniform in the species, and the mountain ranges, or the bears—or both— run in the right direction, how comes it that the gyascutus is scarcer than the grizzly? inghrpenm often graze."—T.
