THE TWO LlTTLE BEARS.

Hug and Squeeze we're two little fat
cubs which lived with their grand
mother. The mother had been cap
tured In a trap when they were but
tiny bears and Mother Bruin had
taken them to her home and cared for
them ever since.
Such times as she had with them.
They seemed to have been born under
an unlpcky star. and poor old grand
mother Bruin had her hands full. They
had of course fallen victims to measles
and next to the whooping cough and
they would eat so many sweets that
toothache was almost daily visitor.
Grandmother Bruin used to shake
her poor old head until her stift1y
starched cap with its large purple bow
would slip away off over her ear. She
did want very much that they
should be good little bears, and she
would talk to, hug and squeeze them
SO earnestly they would promise to
be good little bears, but when mis-
chief came into their head, like most
little boys and girls, they forgot

Once upon time boy went out
hunting. He took his rifle with him.
When he had walked about mile he
saw rabbit. He took aim and fired
at 1t and the bullet hit it in the leg,
but did not kill it.
The boy caught the rabbit and took
1t home and kept 1t for pet, but he
soon got tired of the rabbit and
wanted some other pet. One spring
day the boy went out in the woods to
gother flowers. When he came to the
wood he looked up among the trees
and was greatly surprised to see q
baby squirrel looking at him.
He climbed the tree and when he
got to where the squirrel was he won
dered where he would put the little
thing. He took of his coat and then
wrapped his pet in his coat and took
1t home. So he had two pets.
