THREE FUNNY BEARS
THEY WERE OUT FORAuTTLE SPORT
AND THEY HAD 1T.
The FrolicsOme Youngsters Had n
Regular Circus Of Their own and
Did Their Tricks With the Reck-

the river. ! was following up a shallow
gulch and had gone some distance when

that had been broken off II or 20 feet
from the ground. y few feet below the
place where it was broken off part of a
single limb branched out for about ten
feet
