eeeeeeeoeeseeeee

Teddy G climbed up on the old gray mare,
And sat contented while his brother bear
Sold potatoes and eggs at a quarter each,
And tossed them far as his arm could reach.
The farmer lads enjoyed the fun
And collected the money from every one.
They made enough in half an hour
To buy a dozen barrels of flour.
And pay their rent for year or less
And to buy their mother new silk dress,
And money for vacation week
On sea-shore rocks or by mountain creek
To the farmer lads they said good-by
And rambled new things to try.
They met Priscilla and her brother Will
Who had walked down town from Beacon Hill
To get some candy and records new
For a talking machine. a dozen or two,
To play that night at small affair
Which they were doing to help fresh air."
And pay the expense of poor boys three
For a country week down by the sea-
"a machine that talks." said Teddy B,
take us along and let see."
And off they went to candy store
Where Teddy G bought boxes four;
Five pounds in each for the fresh air show
To help the children to make things go:
And a special box of Priscllas own
For the kindness she the bears had shown.
From there it was but little walk
To the place they sell machines that talk
OF all the fun the bears had had
And things they did both good and bad,
The hour that day with the talking machine
Was as jolly an hour was ever seen.
They opened the box to find the band,
And hunted for singers beneath the stand,
And touched the record and held the horn.
But saw nothing funny since they were born.
They danced two-step and sang as we'll,
And heard Uncle Josh his stories tell,
And listened to negro minstrels sing.
And whistles blow and church bells ring
And an auction sale and auto ride.
And a hundred and fifty things beside
A record was made by Teddy
Who talked down into the horn to see

- WAS late next day when the B ears awoke
And got through breakfast and had their smoke.
They asked a sophomore whose name was
What marks he got the mule exam.
/ have the marks all right" said he
"On elbows, back and hip, and knee
One hundred plus and for luck few
In special colors, black and blue"
But Sam was happy: he had to say
That he had a programme for the Bears that day;
II they'd nete the streets that he marked down
They'd find their around the town.
They took his list and said that they
Would walk Harvard to the Bay.
Said Teddy B: 'T want TO go
To Quincy Market on Merchants Row.
And what kind of things folks buy,
And Boston prices, if low or high"
IF there are things to eat" said Teddy G.
I'll go along; you bank me-"
So off they went in greatest glee.
They found two boys with a market store:
A cart for counter and nothing more
Except the goods the boys. brought down
From little farm ten miles from town.
The goods consisted Of bags and kegs
FILLED with potatoes. fruit and eggs.
The boys worked hard for every cent
To keep their mother and pay the rent.
They drove each week to the market square
whether rain shine to sell things there.
This day their prices were very low
But potatoes and eggs going slow.
When Teddy B some fruit would buy
And asked the lads the reason why
Their sales were slow and the crowd SO small,
And>why potatoes and eggs didn't sell at ALL
"rm sell your stuff" said Teddy B;
Let me get up in the cart and see
And up he got where the lads had been
And called out loud to the crowd OF men;
Come here and buy at prices high
Potatoes 10 roast and eggs to fry.
The reddest apples and plums Of blue,
Bring here your wives and your children. too.
There's one for each and two for you
The crowd that gathered packed all the square
The San Francisco call., 1906-04-15

If a speech of his in the box would stay
To grind itself OF when they went away.
While Teddy sang his prettiest song
For Priscilla Alden to take along
In record form for her fresh air show
To please the children and let them know
That their 5olliest friend was Roosevelt Bear
They left Priscilla and her brother VIII
And went to a lunch room and ate their fill
OF washington pie and Boston cream.
And then to livery and hired team.
And drove through Newton to Riverside.
And over to Dedham for the country ride.
And through park and back again
BY parkway drive and Jamaica Plain
They were driving full three hours more,
And returned the team at half-past four.
They then tramped down to a wharf to see
The place where patriots pitched out the tea
In the year seventeen hundred and seventy three
1T like this harbor." said Teddy B.
ITS the first time we have seen the sea:
Let us hire boat and go down the bay,
And smell salt air to close the day"
Let us sail to Salem" said Teddy G.
There are witches there I'd like to see"
They engaged boat. a small canoe.
With scarcely enough for two.
1t had a sail and the wind west:
They steered their craft their very best.
They sailed about for several hours
Around the forts and lighthouse towers.
Passed old Nahant and Egg Rock light
When storm came up black night.
They tried their best to turn about.
But the wind was high and 1t drove them out.
The storm that night was the worst in years:
And it filled the children's eyes with tears
When the morning papers said next day
That tossed by winds and ocean spray
The Roosevelt Bears had been blown away:
Blown out to sea the darkest night
Without things to eat the smallest light.
Life crews searched uD and down the bay.
And returned next night to town TO say
That they didn't find even a floating hair.
Either brown gray. of Roosevelt Bear.
