A Tale Of Two Bears.


Once upon a time two bears lived to-
gether In hollow tree. 1t was a long
time before any white men came to this
country, and the bears were great and
powerful race. One Of these bears was
a handsome fellow, and he liked to 60
visiting and to lie In the sun and to eat
dinner regularly. The other bear was a
quiet fellow, and most of his friends
said that he was very stupid. Every
day while his brother lolled comforta-
bly, under gooseberry bush he would
go out into the forest and find a huge
oak. Then he would stand up on his
hind legs and scratch the rough bark
with his claws until they were as sharp
AZ needles. 1t was hard work, and the
other bear laughed at him for doing 1t.
whats the use Of sharpening your
clawsT he asked. Games plenty" and
then he would go back to sleep again.
That winter was long and cold, and
when the two bears came out Of the
hollow tree in the spring they were
both thin and hungry and cross. The
handsome fellow went down to the
creek and tried to catch some fish for
dinner, but the ice was SO thick and
slippery that his dull claws made no
impression on 1t. A little later his broth
er came down and dug hole near the
waterfall and caught great many fish
and ate them. The handsome bear, who
was both cross and hungry. began to
grumble.

They had to work with him awhile before
he spoke a word.
And then he climbed a cherry tree-just

His mother took him back to town to get

But Tommy says Of all his life that week
