There Willie soon becomes hale and hearty, running around with the other country boys, and winning all their jack-knives by his superior city "wisdom." The others get sore and try to take their valued trinkets back by force, but Willie proves a good runner and escapes. Whispers reach Mr. Jarr's ears of a little masquerade ball to be held in the "hose-house" or village fire company's building. He promises to attend, and tells his wife he must be back to the city for a day. From the village barber, who is incidentally the local costumer, Jarr obtains a fine bear costume. They have trouble making the head stay on, so the barber sews Mr. Jarr up in the costume. It happens that an old Italian comes to town with a real tame bear, it gets away and he excitedly informs the nearest farmer. All the men and boys organize a hunting party and, happening to spy Jarr in his disguise, they mistake him for the real bear. An exciting, and for poor Jarr, agonizing chase follows. When he runs into the real bear, which proves to be only a little fellow, Jarr establishes a new record for tree climbing. The cub follows right behind, and finding it as tame as can be, Jarr lets it go to sleep in his arms all night. Next morning Willie and the other boys locate Jarr up in the tree and practice on him from a safe distance with their bean shooters. Matters get serious, however, when the farmers arrive and get ready to shoot in earnest. Jarr desperately drops to the ground, where his disguise falls off. All indulge in uproarious mirth at his expense, but he angrily threatens Willie with a walloping if he tells Mother. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
