out, they decided to go back to the forest
The little fellow did his best to keep up
with them, but they had all disappeared
from sight before he reached the border of
the woods. Then he sank right down and
went to sleep under big fir tree.
The sun was high up in the sky before
he awoke next morning. He opened his
eyes and sat up and looked about. Then
he began to realize he was very hungry.
Where to get anything to eat he did not
know. He went into the woods and there
sure enough were some of the bears
proving around. too. The bear who had
spoken to him the night before took him
to place where quantity Of little red
berries grew on tiny plants. These he
found were very good to eat, and he had a
fine breakfast. Then, as he had been up
very late. he began to be sleepy again. and
the bear took him to a cave where he was
snug and warm. It was hole right in the
solid rock. and before the toor was an
other rock. so close that 1t was all they
could do to get through the narrow pas
sageway formed by the two and enter the
cave Everything was green and messy.
for 1t was early spring. II was very beau
tiful and unlike anything our little friend
had ever seen. Many nights he stayed
here. and then, when the moon came again,
they all went out into the open and danced
about as they had before.
1t was very pleasant and he liked 1t very
much, and thought he would never go
back to the city. But one night Jack
Frost came along. and the north wind blew.
All the pretty moss had turned brown and
the leaves were falling from the trees, and
winter was coming on. Then the trees
would all be bare and the snow would cover
the ground, and there would be no deli
ctous berries to eat. For the first time he
thought of his little mistress and how she
must have missed him.
Then he gathered all the bears around
him, and told them he must leave them
He told them all about his old home, and
that he wanted to return to it. They had
grown TO like him very, very much, and
could not let him go away from them. He
wondered what he should do, and thought
of slipping away in the night again, when
suddenly 1t came to him how nice it would
be to take all his friends back to tho city
with him. and when he told them they
were delighted. That night when every
body was asleep, band of bears trooped
into the town.
The next day little Christina Schmidt
was sent by her mother to the attic to
bring down the piece bag. There, right on
the top of 1t, sat Teddy Bear" She came
down stairs crying. "Oh, mother! mother
l have found Teddy Bear that thought
was lost and gone for good. Now, / must
make him some clothes, for 1t Is getting
cold winter. and know he will freeze If
L didn't
What was her surprise when she went
out carrying Teddy" dressed in a little
knickerbocker suit to see her friend Kat
rina with bear dressed like little In
dian. She found that that morning every
little girl in the city had found a bear in
her house. Each child had dressed hers
in some pretty costume. But nobody knew
how it happened that the bears were there

Billy Dick, blowing through the wrist of
his glove to warm his hands. Here you

ternoon. Where shall we go?'
Rosy Posy laughed delightedly. 1t
wasn't often that she was allowed to go
outside of their own dooryard. In fact
this was the very first time Billy Dick
had been allowed to take her anywhere
But mother was busy with company, and
when Billy Dick had proposed a sleigh
ride for Rosy Posy she had finally con-
sented

That is how Rosy Posy happened to be

snapped with delight. and her soft little
pink cheeks grew red as Strawberries in
June.

How Teddy Bear Came to
Wear Clothes.

This is the story of some bears-a whole
lot OF little fellows, that were born in a
country called Germany. You may not know
that that Is place way across the big
ocean, where the people talk in queer
language, so that neither you nor 1 could
understand what they were saying were
they to speak to US.
There. in a big city long. long ago. a
little bear was born. 1t was a big city,
but not like New York. for there were no
tai Office buildings and houses with high
brownstone steps leading up to them, but
instead were low buildings and the houses
We're only two stories, with little white
steps In front. There all the little girls
had long fiaxen hair, piaited as tight as
tight could be, and on holidays and feast
days their mammas let it fall about their
shouiders in crinkley masses, tied with
blue ribbons. All the little boys had light
hair. too, and eyes blue as the sky, like
their sisters. / know you are wondering
what all this had to do with the little bear
AS he grew Older and began to observe he
wondered too. So one day he decided to
run away. But where was he to go?
He waited until night time, and then,
when the big moon was shining round and
fun. he scampered off In the dark. First
he went through long streets with houses
close together either side. Then the
houses got fewer and fewer, and by and
by there were hardly any at ALL He be-
gan to get little frightened at the long
now and then, and thought of turning back
Just then he saw before him a big field,
stretching out In the moonlight, and In it
not a house. or a tree. or a little light
haired. blue-eyed boy or girl-but what do
you suppose? A whole lot of bears, just
like himself.
He had never seen his papa or mamma
that he remembered. so he was very much
surprised and did not know what to make
of them. One of them saw him and spoke
to him. and then all the others came
around him. 1t seemed that they lived in
a great woods called the Black Forest, not
very far away. On nights when the moon
shone bright and clear they all came out
into the field and danced around and had a
good time in the way that bears do. This
little fellow had no idea how that was so
they had TO show him. They played tag
ana blind mans bum and all sorts of
games, but not the same way that boys
and girls play. Perhaps II was rougher:
hut they were bears. and what else could
be expected? Then, too they did not have
tire same things to play with, and the blind
man had TO put up his paw to cover his
eyes, instead OF a handkerchief. Can you
imagine bear running about field in the
moonlight with his paw covering his eyes
and lot of other bears scampering about
10 keep out of his reach?
At last, when they were all quite tired

The Wiggle-Dee.

A Wiggie-Dee sat on the top of Peaks Pike,
A,wear.ng two hats on his head just alike;
His hats were all covered with popcorn and lace
With rosettes Of cabbage to add to their grace,
While bow Of green ribbon fell over his face.
He spOrted a pompadour twenty feet high.
While cnte little curl nestled Ger his left eye;
While out Of his tail seven white feathers grew
And he carried an ivory cane when he few
His gloves were of brown tissue paper and they
Were washed. starched and ironed three times
He carried dress suit case filed with pink pills,
A mince pie or two and bottle Of squills
While In other places were stuffed doctors bills.
On the top Of Peaks Pike, as he sat there each
Presenting a truly magnificent sight.
The folks who passed by were astonished to
His words Of complaining just when they drew
near:
So they deemed him ungrateful and verify queer.
"Oh. dear!' he would sob aloud; then he would

And then he would wall in tone low and sad,

Miss Elsie refused their invitation to ac-
