wards the grass grew and we planted
flowers. SO 1t looked very homelike.
My sister and / started to the He'd
rick school. but the way was through
the woods and 1t was very cold and
dreary, so we went to the Lincoln
school. We used to have lots OF fun
Wading the big snow drifts. In the
summer we played house with some
rabbits we had. We preferred them to
dolls. because they were alive We
would dress them up and wheel them
around in go carts. We went to the
Lincoln school seven years and then
we went to the Adams school, and then
after a year, to the high school, where
we are going at present. When l was
ten years old my little brother was
born, but in seven months he died.
When was in the eighth grade my
little baby sister was born. She is now

MARY SAUER.

1899. My parents names are Mr.. and
Mrs. Phillip Sauer. This house was
not far from the Lowell school house.
lived here two years and when we were
ready to move, l was only two years
old. We moved to a place very far off
from the one we had lived in before.
The first house lived In was story
and a half and 1t was painted red.
The barn was red, too. The wind pump
was on the barn close by the house.
Here my brother would sometimes
visit the school but never visited 1t
at all for l was too young. And when
the time came that we were to move
we moved to a house nQA so very far
from Highland Center, Ia. This was a
story and half house. 1t was not
painted at all The barn was not paint
ed either. There was smoke house,
granary, and hen house. The wind
pump was in the yard then and 1t is
very old now. The school here was
not near so close as the other one was.
It was mile and half to school, I
never went to that school either.
was two years old when we moved
there and when we moved the next
time ] was four years old. Then we
moved to the first house west of Ben
Butler school. When we got here there
but In 1908 we built four more rooms
to It. When we got here there were
board walks and an old barn and this
spring we had new barn built and
we tore the old one down. And then
this spring we had cement walks put

jected, and began begging their
mother to allow them to try staying
awake. "If our eyes 60 shut well
then come to you" promised Brunie.
So their good mother agreed to let
them stay "out in the big winter
world knowing in her own heart that
they'd be very glad to come creeping
to her within few days, after the
winter sleep had gotten into their
bodies.
We'll. I'll kiss you good night" she
said, "and so to our inner cave. And.
mind you, II you join me later, you'll
not make a noise. You might disturb
pleasant dream"
Then their mother kissed them ten
derby and went to her winter quar-
tiers. which was a small, dark cave,
snug as feather bed.
Being left to their own resources,
Snouty began looking about to find
some way of amusing his sister and
himself. He found it very lonely with
their mother gone to sleep. .an6 her
order that they must not wake her.
All the rest of the day the cubs tried
to feel happy, and played about the
yard But. som ehow, they were not
happy, for they knew that all bear-kind
was now going into their winter quar-
tiers, and that on the morrow not one
Of their kind would be out in the open.
When night drove them into. the
outer cave, Brunie said: "I'm so tried
of playing | wish mamma was here
to put me to Sleep
~ could fall asleep without any
putting declared snouty. And he
found himself yawning. II am tired,
too. Well, we'll sleep tonight in our
usual summer way, and awake tomor-
row to play"
But we'll have to And some break
fast observed Brunie. "And mamma
won't be here to look after us. 1t
will be very lonely, won't it?'
We'll 60 visiting every day" said
Snouty. "That will help to pass the
time away"
"But-you forget that all the bears
will be holed-up,' said Brunie. And
we can't visit other wild animals.
They'd either run from us or fight us.
Well be all alone during the whole
cold winter, while all the other bears
are sleeping soundly and staying well
and young"
Snouty began to yawn again, and
yavning being Catching Brunie also
began doing 1t. Then, before Brunie
had any idea of allowing himself to
fall asleep, she fell over on the ground
and her eyes went tight shut. Snouty
could no longer keep Oft the drowsi-
ness that was creeping over him, and
had been coming over him all day, 30
he. too, fell into a deep sleep. AS the
two cubs lay there, their winter sleep
full upon them, their mother came
softly from the inner cave, picked one
cub at time and carried 1t to the
snug winter quarters. Then, placing
one on each side of serself, she folded
their little paws in her own and
smiled. ~ couldn't go to sleep till !
had my cubbies," she said II knew
they'd begin mapping tonight. It's the
frost in the air. Bears always have
gone to sleep with the approach Of
winter, and they cannot change their
natures"
Then, as snug as three bugs IN a
rug Mrs. Brown Bear and cute little
Snouty and Brunie went to sleep. And
they will not awake till Miss Spring,
with her soft warm voice comes to
call them forth.
For such is the way with bears.
