Bear Acts As Watchdog

A bear as a watchdog is a rare thing, but one Is kept on duty at the home of Gottlob Wuest in Leiperville, Pa., and bruin proves a terror to strange faces that may appear at the gate. Tramps are numerous thereabouts, but many a nomad goes beyond the pale of Wuest's yard, for when the bear gets an eye upon him there are a loud growl and a tug at the chain with which the animal is kept within bounds, just outside a little frame house which has been built for him. Yet to those familiar to him bruin is as tame as a kitten. Burly as he is for a two-year-old, he has figured in many a vaudeville performance, having been trained to do tricks from bis infancy by his owner, Albert Green, Wuest's brother-in-law. It is proposed that he shall star in seasons to come and with this end in view bis master is putting him through a course of sprouts.
