INSECTS PROCURE FOOD
FOR WINTER.

Editor Courier Junior:
1 think How Birds. Wild Animals
and Insects Procure Food for the Win
ter would be good title or subject
for the Juniors to write about, as it
teaches the children to be observing
and thoughtful and humane toward
those creatures who do so much good
for mankind.
While we are preparing for winter
our mamas are putting away fruit,
pickles, ETC., and our fathers are get.
ting food for the stock, the children
surely wonder what the insects, Wild
animals, and birds do during the win
ter for food.
For instance what does the bear
and the woodchuck live on through
the long winter?
The birds who winter here and
what do the bees live on and where
in the winter?

Amd His STORY.

1t was in Bear town that old Grand
--apa Bruno lived. He was the oldest
bear In the village and the most re.
spected Also he was the most pitied,
for he had but three feet, one of the
front paws being gone. This, as you
may know, made old Grandpapa Bruno
a cripple, and he always walked with
q decided limp.
But as the accident which made
Grandpapa Bruno cripple had hap.
pened a very long time ago, there
were very many young bears who had
never heard about it. And among
these young bears were several who
were inclined to be disobedient, and to
20 off on long and perilous adventures
roaming the woods and the mountains
where danger lurked In vain did their
parents-those of cooler heads and
wiser minds-remonstrate with them
they would persist in running into all
sorts of danger.

bear youth Of Bear town were out fol

always made his home in the east
part of the city. He made his home
in the old depot hotel that stood at
one time between Vine street and
Union street. He built the Ballingall
hotel and at the time of his death
willed it to the city, which is the larg'
est hotel in the city.
He also gave the city the ground
just north Of the union depot which
Is used as a park and which bears his
name in flowers ath the park.
Ballingall's death occurred in China
and his remains were brought here
for burial. 1t was one of the largest
funerals ever held in the city. He
was buried in the Ottumwa cemetery.
Ballingall was rather large man and
he was we'll liked by all who knew
him.
