A Bear Story-By Maybelle
Austin

Once upon time there lived little
boy, his father md his mother. There
we're not many peopi. who lived around
them for they livea in deep forest
One day his father was walking in the
forest when he saw mother bear and
three cubs. The mother bear was show.
ing the cubs how to eat the bark off OF
the young trees. The mother bear had
not seen him yet when there sounded
a loud crack and looking around he saw
hunter carrying gun and game bag.
The mother bear fell with loud cry.
The shot had killed her. All the baby
bears cried out in fright. The man felt
sorry for them, so he took them home
and gave them to the little boy. He took
care of the mand raised them up. He
named one Jim. another Jack and the
third MehoWen. .
One morning Jim had run away and
could not be found, and his brothers
Jack and Mehowen were very lonesome
without him.
Not long after Jim had run away a
man came through the forest with a
trained bear. He made the bear dance
and play on the fiddle.
The man then asked to stay all night
The next morning Jack and the trained
bear had run away. Mehowen was the
only little bar left. He was very lone
some now. Not Ion gafter this he ran
away The little owner hoped Mellow

: Frank Clark

- One summer there lived little cat
erpllar in a grape vine. He fed upon
the green leaves and ate so many tha'
we wondered If there would be any leIt
One day after very large dinner the
caterpillar began to spin. He spun a
large silk thread that seemed to come
from his mouth and it was fastened to
the. grape vine.
Then a strange thing happened. He
moved his head to.and fro and twisted
it around and around until ne was
wrapped in a beautiful soft silk blanket
which he had made for himself. Soon
there was no caterpillar to be seen
nothing but this curious silken cradle
There lay the cradle close to the grape
vine stem all through the winter with
it's ice and snow and bitter winds. The
old year went and the new year came
but the cradle lay quietly in it's Granny
1t did not even rock in the winds. Al
last the cold winds died away and the
warm days came. The little sleeper
awoke with the May sunshine and rust
led inside the brown cradle. We watch
ed to see the caterpillar come forth
from his winter nest but what do you
think we saw. "A beautiful butterfly

slowly unfolded his velvety wings. The

One day George Washington and two

drew an outline for her. 81
Mrs. Ross set to work and it was not
long until she had the first American

make it. @... s4...
There were thirteen stars in the flag
to represent the thirteen colonies

The Cat Learns to Dance
BY Aida Bessie

Dear Juniors:
thought would write a school COM
position on The Cat Learns to Dance"
One night some children left some
bread and milk out in the garden. and
the cat whose name was Buzz was eat
ing the bread and milk. The moon
shone bright that night and he thought
it would be fine night to dance.
A little mouse was at one door o. his
hole. He said that he would learn BUZZ
to dance so he went into his little house
and brought out pair. of white boots
with pink tassels on them.
The mouse said Put these boots on
and dance" Buzz put them on but they
had wax in them and it tickled his feet
so he didn't want to dance. hut the
mouse answered You will have to
dance until you wear them out BY
that time the boots were worn out. the
mouse had eaten all the bread and milk.
