oh. Buster Bear. Oh. Buster Rear
How IL 10 you, so big and strong,
Can be so very jumpy7
Dear me, what lot Of things can
happen from one small beginning
You drop a stone in a pond and at
once start a lot OF little waves in
the shape OF rings that travel and
travel and grow bigger and bigger
until at last they reach the shore
and once more the pond Is quiet
and smooth. That stone l. little
thing OF no account In itself, bu,
the ripples IL starts cover the whole
pond II is just that way IN life
You never can tell what you arc
starting or where Il will end. II Is
whole lot like a row OF blocks
You push the FIRST one so thar /.
falls against the second one. and the
second one falls against tho third.
and 40 on until the whole row has
fallen.
II was just like that whom n mis-
chIevous wandering Little Breeze
found Farmer Browns Boy sitting
half hidden on tho bank OF he pond
Of Paddy the Beaver and carried the
smell OF him out 10 tickle the nose
| OF Buster Bear. who was having a
bath and n beautiful time as well
swimming about In Paddy's pond.
Now wasn't that simple thing ~
do? Wasn't IT. Yet see what hap
peued. One minute the pond lay
quiet and peaceful In the heart OF
the Green Forest with Buster Bear
| lazily swimming about happy ard
contented. and the next minute Bus
ter was plunging for the shore IN
great fright. Paddy the Beaver was
diving for his life, the air was tillcd
with quacking ducks trying to gel
out OF Busters way. and excitement
and fear had taken the place o
quietness and peace, all on account
OF that mischicvous wandering Lit
tie Breeze.
Poor Buster Bear When at las
he stopped running and had listened
and listened and shifted and sniflet
until he was sure that Farme
Browns Boy was no longer nCa
him, his heart was still thumpy an,
his nerves were jumpy, terribl,
/ iumpy What day IL had been
First he had found the storehous,
Of Busy Pee, and in spite Of tht
stings OF Busy Bee and her comradc
had been perfectly happy as h
greedily Toasted on the honey whicl
the bees had worked SO hard {,
make and which Is the one thing n
all the Great World which Buste
likes best Then had come a vel
from Farmer Browns Boy which ha,
frightened him so that he had sim

himself with bumps, but worse still
having to leave half that delicious
honey. After this he had gone 90
the pond OF Paddy the Beaver, and
in the comfort OF a peaceful swim
had almost for gotten the fright Ia
had had. when along Camu chat
wandering Little Breeze and brought
him hat dreaded man smell, and
once more he had TO take TO h,s
heels.
Now you know, and know. that
Farmer Browns Roy had had no
idea OF seeing Buster Bear again
when he went to the pond of Paddy
the Beaver, He had gone there for
the very same reason that little
later Buster had gone thorea-to gel
cool wet mud to take out the smart
from he stinss of the bees. But
Buster didn't know his lie was
sure that Farmer Browns Roy had
followed him. There wasn't the
least doubt of IL I'm Busters mind
And the fact that Farmer Brown
Boy had surprised him twice in ono
day quite upset pu,tsr Bear 10 de-
siroyed all confidence In hms,lf. u
gave him the feeling that he couidn
get away from Farmer Brown Boy
He never had been so uneasy in M
his life. lie couldn't sit still. Nc
place In the Green Forest seemed
lonesome enough His nerves jumped
al every little sound He more than
half expected TO see Farmer Brown
Boy step out from behind each bis
tree or brushpile or rock which ht
approached So all the rest OF that
afternoon Buster wandered about
from place to place, listening, sniff

Considerable pressure is being
brought upon him 10y the party man

in September for the notification

They argue that even then tho

pregnable Beyond all, the most
astute OF the Democratic managers
are afraid thai if the Republicans
get too much Of a start, they will
create the impression throughout
the country that the Democrats are
altogether on the defensive; that
virtually they will be.
President Wilson has his own
ideas about putting political expedi-
ency above official duty. and it Is
not likely that he is going 10 run
very fast for reelection while there
Is important presidential work TO be
done.
Hughes, who is a man of the
same type, Judging by his record in

the president In this matter, az ne
has nothing else to think about but
his campaign.
