Dear Message: Enclosed
please find five dollars for which
kindly advance date of my sub.
scription, and at the same time
change my address from SO West
104 ST., N. Y. City, to 120 Vista
Place, Mount Vernon.
1t has been several years since
| had the pleasure of visiting in
the old neighborhood in Audrain
county, but my affection for the
place and the people there is still
strong. Each year / think surely
| shall find the opportunity to re-
turn, but teaching for ten months
and conducting a summer camp
for girls for two months pretty
nearly occupies my entire time.
Camp Quinibeck which, as you
may remember, made its initial
bow and appeal for patronage in
the summer of 1911, has had a
most wonderful growth, and this
summer we sat down at table 147
strong, not including mothers
and grandmothers who live at the
Quinibeck Lodge. l wish every
girl could have the opportunity
of spending her vacations in one
of these summer camps, where
the demands of social duties are
laid aside for two months and the
natural girl is able to enjoy her
freedom.
With best wishes for the con-
tinued success of the Message.

BEAR HIDES CUBS IN CAVE
Park Keepers Can't Even Get in 10

for days to learn just how many bear
cubs there are in a cave at the back

three other bears in the cage with
the mother. and they lined up in
front of the entrance and prevented
an inspection Of the cave.
Later the keepers learned that
Colorado had more than one cub, but
Just how many moxe IS still matter
of doubt. Snyder Is sure there are
three youngsters behind the rock, but
Keeper Degnon insists there are only
two.
Interest IN the welfare Of the cubs
became so great among the keepers
that one OF them undertook to OK
plore the caye and find out how many
cubs there were and how they were
getting on. He waited until the other
bears were doing OTTER hearty
meal Then he opened the door at
the rear of the Enclosure and stepped
In, swinging the door softly shut be-
hind him. He was creeping toward
the cave when suddenly the mother
bear appeared in the entrance, She
had a cub In her mouth. for each day
she brings one of them out into the
sunshine, stands guard over it for
ten minutes or so. and then gravely
/ catches the youngster up by the scruff
