Buster Bear Is Hungry.

BIZ THORNTON W. Bon

Thsrs's nothing worse Of which
Than hunger with no food 20 eat
SO a onot blame poor Buster Bear.
Because his temper was not sweet
At the beginning OF winter Bus
ter Bear had been fat with good
living all thru the fall, when there
was plenty OF food. Then he had
gone 20 sleep In bis secret den and
there he bad remained asleep all
winter. You see there was none OF
the food Buster eats TO be found in
winter and so old Mother Nature
had put him to sleep just as she did
Johnny Chuck and Old Mr.. Toad and
some others. With the FIRST hint OF
the coming ~ sweet Mistress Spring
Buster awoke. and the FIRST thing
lie thought OF was his stomach. IL
was so empty that II made him feel
hollow all over. He was thin, very

out OF his legs Buster Bear started
out TO md something TO eat But
for q while there was little TO nnd.
Where the frost had come out OF the
ground along the edge OF the
Laughing Brook he dug out a Few
roots. Hs even gnawed a little
bark. OF which he IL not at all fond.
What he did nnd was just enough TO
make him feel still more hungry.

who saw him kept out OF his way.
lie did a lot OF wandering about
The more he wandered the more
likely he was to find something "a
eat. And his wits were sharp. they
usually are sharp. but now they
we're sharper than ever. for you
know there is nothing like hunger
TO sharpen wits.
So IL happened that the instant he
heard the voices OF Blacky the Crow
and his relatives making q great
racket In a distant part of the Green
Forest he rat up 10 listen and a
look OF great cunning crept into his
face.
There's something going on over
there" muttered Buster. "Blacky
and his friends have discovered
something. 1t may not be anything

Black the Grow and his friends
were making such q noise. He hur~
ried, but In spite Of his hurry and
his great size Buster moved as
silently as 4 great black shadow.
No one can move more quietly Than
Ereat big Buster Bear when he
wants TO- Every few steps he would
pause TO listen. then hurry forward
again. Before be got In sight OF
the place where Blacky and his
friends were the noise ceased. This
was suspicious. Buster stopped and
listened. with his head FIRST OH one
side and then on the other. Pres
emily he heard the voices growing
fainter in different directions anc he
knew that Blacky and his friends
had left the place where he bad 6rst
heard them. The excitement was
all over. Buster was undecided what
10 do. Finally he made up his mind
70 keep on. Perhaps he would find
something OF some one TO tell him
what all that fuss was about.

TAX MEETING TONIGHT

Those persons who are interested
in the proposed changes in the Taxa
tion system of the State of Delaware,
will do well to attend the Mass meet
ing in Armory Hall this evening, at
which time the proposed changes will
be thoroughly discussed. Interest in
these changes has grown steadily
since early in the winter, when the
matter was taken up. and since that
time meetings have been held through
out the State. At all of these meet
ings large crowds have attended, and
much favorable comment on the pro-
posed changes have been heard. One
meeting was held in Milford a few
weeks ago and a good crowd was in
but owing to the weather
conditions at that time those sponsor
ing the move felt that more people
would want to hear the arguments for
the changes, therefore the meeting to-
night. Come out and get acquainted
with the proposed new changes.
