cage was put up to the one occupied by
Montana and after coaxing him into
the smaller cage the door was dropped
shutting him in. fHe was then put in a
wagon and taken to the pit where was
freed. Since he lias become accustomed
to his new quarters he seems to be well
pleased and is much more playful than
he was while confined to, the cage. A
large number of Montana's friends have
been around to call during the week,
and he welcomes them all. .
Montana has been in Hershey since a
year ago last September. He was given
to Mr. Hershey by H. O. Rice, the
western salesman for the Hershey
Chocolate Company. He bears.' the
name of his native state, having been,
