Her mother had let iler go over

In spite of all she could do May
Blossoms eyes filled with tears and
dropped DOWN ON Rosalinda.

So, OF course, couldn't help
crying and feeling just as miiser-
BILE, and l put ON my things 1tglht

and took Rosalinda and came home.
o mama, i know my heart is

But just then the door came open
and little girl in a white cloak
and cap entered, looking fnighhen-

May Blossom wouldn't speak, she
mid her face and began to cry.
Poor little Pink Rose, she didn't

10 cry too, als hard aus she could

What made her go home with
out telling me?' She sobbed.
What made her, rpow?"
Them mama knew it was mis-
take, and she told Pink the stony
ais May had told 1T.
Pink was laughing through her
tears before the story was finished.
May lifted her face and said in
dignantly, you needn't laugh. You
did call me- pig-you bad, bad
girl"
mo, l didn't" cried Pink. 1t

ly tone that made Roger like
him.
What became of it?" asked
another man. II brought it to
the camp in my pocket; it is
over in that box answered the
first man, pointing to a corner
,of the caimp.
He went over and opened the
box. Lying there ON some rags
was the baby bear, helpless
little creature no larger than a,
kitten. whimpering softly and feel
ing round with it's nose.
How Little it is exclaimed
Roger, who had half expected to
be afraid OFF a baby bear.
Yes" said the man. 81 have
heard that. compared with its
size when it lis full grown, a
baby bear is the smallest of ALL
animals. This fellow weighs less
than a pound. I don't know
what we can do with it."
"Oh. let me have it. Can't l
take it home?" burst out Roger,
speaking to the lumberman and
10 MS uncle att the same time.
The lumberman was much more
willing to part with the helpless
creature than was Uncle Henry.

But at last Uncle Henry gave in.
and when they rode home in the
afternoon the little bear went with
them. carefully wrapped up from
the cold and mestling in a SMALL
basket under the heavy robes.
Aunt Mattie was much surprised
when Roger told her he had
brought a bear home with him.
IDut she was more surprised when
the basket Was opened.
Her heart was touched by the
'heiplessness of the little creature
that had lost dts mother.

asked. THAT little thing bear?
What cam we do with it? How
can we feed it?' She continued.
They soon settled the food ques-
tion. Aunt Mattie found an old
discarded nursing bottle and filming
1t with warm milk she put the end
OF the rubber tube i'm the little
beaS's mouth, and it took it's sup
per just as la hungry baby would
have taken it.
AT first the little bear Slept
most OF the time between its
meals, and did mot grow half fast
enough to suit Roger But ONE day
it's eyes opened, and Roger, who
had been studying "a book ON ami
malls, knew that it was then five
weeks old.

playful, and in a few weeks, ais

much of it's time tumbling across
the floor, after the clumsy fashion
OF a puppy, and looking for some
thing to upset or flor morse,

Roger named him Ursus which
he found lis the latin word for
bear. AS the time passed and the

Who does the mischief that lis done
In everybodys house
There's no ONE ever sees his face
And yet VIE ALL agree
THAT every plate and cup was
cracked

Ills he who always tears our
books,
Who leaves our doors ajar,
He pulls the buttons from oun

And scatters pins afar.

Because we had NO suet we put
a small piece of fresh side pork
in a hole in a post, and the
first day a pair of chickahees
and a downie wcpdpecker came to
feast ON it. We had not seen any
OF these birds before this winter.
Don't forget to put out feed
for the birds. The ice which has
lowered everything the Da4st few
days has made it impossible for
bhtemI to get the weed seeds on
which they feed, and they are
so hungry they will eat almost
anything. We all have crumbs
from the table which the birds
are glad to get. The crumbs may
Ihia scattered almost anywhere and
they will find them.
The Buneau of the Biological
Survey of the Department of ,Agri-
CULTURE MS urging city officials To
see that the birds in the parks
ara regularly fed. The feeding
may be done in the simplest ways,
tas by putting; up suet i'm tim
cans or behind wire netting, and
ty scattering mixed seeds on
bare places, or more elaborate
methods may be used.
We are glad to learn that the
war ON the English sparrow is
not popular, aus so many other
