Show The Lesser of Two Evils. A gentleman from the north was enjoying en-joying the excitement of a bear hunt down in Mississippi. The bear was surrounded in a small cane thicket. The dogs could not get the bear out and the planter who was at the head of the hunt called to one of the negroes: ne-groes: "Sam, go in there and get the bear out." The negro hesitated for a moment and then plunged into the cane. A few moments after the negro, the bear and the dogs were rolling upon the ground outside. After the hunt was over the visitor said to the negro: "Were you not afraid to go into that thicket with that bear?" "Cap'n," replied the negro. "It wus jest dis way. I nebber had met dat bar, but I wus pussonally 'quainted wid old boss, and I jes' naturally tuck dat b'ar." |
