EDITOR.
TEDDY BEARS.

Dear Juniors: Now, we have 5ot
Just the incest little prizes for You
next time that you almost ever saw.
We have just gotten fifty of the cut
est Teddy Bears you ever saw, and
they are nicer than those you buy, be-
cause you can take these and finish
making them yourselves, or you can
get your mamma or older sister to help
you.
These Teddy Bears are painted on
heavy cloth and all marked out SO all
you have to do is to cut them out Just
like you Junior girls would cut out an
apron for your doll, or you Junior boys
would cut out sail for your little
boat. Then your mamma can sew
them up on the machine and you can
stuff Mr.. Teddy Bear full of cotton and
then you have fine brown Teddy
Bear, more than foot high, and you
can make him just as fat as you want
to by putting in more or less cotton.
1t will be lots of fun for the Juniors TO
make these Teddy bears and all each
Junior has to do to get one is to write
a story about an animal, either bear,
horse. elephant, COW, or any Of the
other animals too numerous to men,
ton. We have fifty of these Teddy
Bears, twenty-five for the readers of
the Daily Courier Junior and twenty
five for the Tri-Weekly Courier Jun
ior. The first twenty-five Daily Jun
Tors writing an animal story will re-
ceive bears. and also the first twenty
five Tri-Weekly Juniors We will award
the prizes according to the postmark
on the envelope. Each Junior when
writing must tell whether they belong
to the Daily Juniors or the Tri-Weekly
Juniors. Every Junior must have an
equal chance.

THE ORIOLES NEST SONG

Here comes a rocking breeze;
With low whistle,
He will swing the little house
Where my birds nestle.
Feather of the dandelion,
Silk of the thistle
Make the pretty blankets
For their bed.
-Four babies in a pouch,
A little grass stocking!
Easily could myself
Do all the rocking;
But I love to hear the breeze
Tip-tap, knocking,
And the apple leaves a-rustle
Overhead.
Hark, bark, the rocking breeze
Through the leaves creeping!
Shut all your yellow bills.
Hush your low cheeping!
Swing, swing lullaby
Swing, swing, sleeping
In the silken thistle blankets
OF your bed.
