THE CUDDLEY BEAR
BY Farmer Smith

Mother" said Cuddley Bear one morn
ing as he stretched himself and yawned.
81 wonder VIII" | have fur instead Of
feathers"
MY dear child. why are you always ask
ing questions which your poor mother can't
answer? If I knew why l have fur in
stead Of feathers, would have feathers"
"Oh"
Cuddley Bear was still for n long time
and then he said. well, | guess I'll have
TO go out into the woods and find some one
wiser than you. There must be some one
who can tell me. even If you can't"
Mrs. Bear was hurt at this, but she
merely remembered that her son was only
a youngster and she tried not to let the
thought hurt her. She was sorry she had
not raised him to be more thoughtful
Cuddley Bear went out into the woods
and soon came to the tree where the Wise
Old Owl was seated Knowing this wise
bird to be blind in the day time. the little
fellow began to sneeze violently
BE careful, there Cwdley Bear, or you'll
sneeze your head off,
Cuddley Bear was surprised to find that
the Wise Old Owl knew him. When he
recovered himself he replied: How did
you know who it was. Wise Old Owl?"
How could l be Wise Old owl did
not know my enemies when they approach /?
/ am not covered with fur as you are.
nor can ! fight for my rights as you can.
but my ears are very keen-in fact. |
can tell who is coming by the sound they
make"
Wonderful" exclaimed Cuddley Bear
For a moment the little fellow was un-
decided whether to ask the Wise Old Owl
the question which puzzled him or not.
May l ask you question:" asked Cud-
dley Bear at Length,
Indeed you may" replied the Wise
Old Owl. politely.
why have I fur instead of feathers,
like you have?'
"Umph! What a big question for a
little bear to ask. The reason you have
fur instead of feathers is because you
have fur instead of feathers-very. very
simple. Go back and ask your mother IL
what I said Is not true, very true. The
next time you do not know what to do,
ask an old Owl--To-wit! To-woo.'
As Cuddley Bear was on his way home
ward, he thought of how he would surprise
his mother when he got home. "Ah! That
Is one time l fooled my mother. Now
know more than she does. / know why
I have fur instead of feathers. The Wise
Old Owl told me. 30 1t MUST be true.
guess Owls know more than mothers, most
mothers. anyway"
Now 1t happened that when Cuddley got
home and told his mother what the Wise
Old Owl had said. she gave him a kiss and
then she waited-waited very patiently for
HER turn and-it came.

SILENCE!

My Dearest Children-My mind carries
me back to Kind schDol-teacher who used
to pound the desk and shout "SlLENCE!'
| invite your attention to SILENCE be-
cause l wish | had learned the value OF
silence when | was your age. | want to tell
you how very powerful silence is. DO you
know that men who have been on eXpedi.
tions to the North Pole have gone mad and
jumped overheard because of the terrible
silence?
/ want YOr, sarly In life, to get ac-
quainted with 81, nee. If I had my way
about it, every school in tho world would
open daily with five minutes of absolute
silence.
Why?
During that time the pupils would learn
to compose themselves. They would learn
the value of poise and above all they would
learn to keep their thy mouths shut.
How much time did YOU spend in the
silence Of your ownse!f last week? Can
you sit quietly for five minutes this day
this hour?
Why have so many Of our great men
been farmer boys or. why have 80 many
farmer boys become great?
Because they spent their boyhood days
alone--in the hayloft--in the meadow
watching the cows. Try the silence and
learn to like It, Use its power and do not
let 1T use or destroy you.
