strated his ideas Of patriotism In a

One man when approached with q card
refused on the plea that the Red Cross
is a bunch Of grafters, and that was
as far as he got. When he landed on
the prairie battered and bruised. and
was able to get to his feet again, he
wanted to come back and get his mail.
but was told to wait where he was and
1t would be handed to him. Since that
time he has been sending for his mail
through his neighbors. and has not
shown any further desire for a special
meeting with the postmaster, who was
not willing to allow the Red Cross to
be classed as among the grating class
OF the country.

beautiful they were! They not

their mother and so soft and furry and
round.
'They nestled up to their mother and,
seemed to say, oh, mother, what
would we do without your And the
mother loved them for their very help
lessneSS.
"Tive weeks went by before they
opened their eyes, and then whit Il
wonderful world they saw. They were
still In their cave home, for the cold
weather had not passed and Mother
Black Bear was going to take no
chances with her babies.
"They could not really walk ut all.
Every time they tried to walk a little.
they fell down. They did not know
how to balance themselves and their
legs didn't seem to be able to hold
them up.
but each day they tried a little
more, and Mother Bear helped them,
for she had no intention Of taking
them out Of the cave until they could
walk.
And In the ave she told them in
sleepy tones, for she vas SC very
sleepy, of all the things they must
guard against when they went out into
the world.
1.-THE babies too were very sleepy
and they only had these lessons now
and again. for the sleep was making
them strong, and their mother had
eaten enough in the fall to do for the
winter for herself and for her babies
as well.
"Baby BEARS" the mother grunted,
and now they looked at her out OF their
baby eyes and seemed to say.
"'WOuld anyone yer hurt your And
would we ever hurt anyone? Oh 40.

We could never be wild and hunt
"But of course the mother knew bet
ter SO she told them stories OF adven-
lures she had had.
"She taught them OF the berries they
must eat and of the things which
would make them feel well and strong.
She also told them of the bad things
they must moi tOuch-the things
which would make their little tummies
feel very miserable indeed and which
would make them quite, quite sick.
"And when. at last, they went out
Of the cave. and saw the real world,
the trees and the forest paths. they
wanted to start off at once for adven-
lures, for the world looked &C mystic
