cellent doctrine for the great, Huge
Bear. who answered TO the name
Moujik And the great, Huge Bear
was simple creature who would
have been glad to practise brotherly
love and to give anything he pos.
sessed away. But unfortunately he
did not possess anything.
II will be the officer" said the Wee
Small Bear, as they started out.
"And / will be tho Commissary De-
partment and furnish guns and uni
forms and food" said the Middle
sized Bear.
And what shall do?" asked the
great. Huge Bear.
"why. you will fight tho Beast, Of
coursc!" the other two bears an
swered in unison. and though Moujik
was not altogether satisfied with tho
arrangement, he plunged into the
| fight with the Beast and drove him
back almost into his cave.
And then dreadful thing hap
pencd. For the Little Bear, who had
never been very much interested in
the fight with the Beast. began TO
think about the fine porridge he had
/ left cooling upon the table and sig
nailed TO the Beast just where Moujik
was FoIng 20 attack him and lust
when the great. Huge Bear coU'd 10
surprised and slaughtered. And the
| Midlle-SG Bear, who had been get
| ting rich selling uniforms and guns
/ and food that did not exist. decided
that ne too had had enough. Then
| the Beast turned on the great. Hugo
/ Bear who was weak with hunger
and cold and who realized that the
/ Little Bear had bcttaycd him and tho
Mddlc-Sllcd Eear had exploited him.
And the Beast drove all Three Bears
back into the Snowdrift.
In the mean time the gaunt. terrible
old woman who had hair that hssed
like a thousand scrpcnts and great
burning eyes that scared everything
they looked at, and whose name was
Anarchy, had gotten very busy In the
house of the Three Bears She ate up
all the pOrr.dge there was, and she
saw that no seed was planted. so that
more grain might grow. And she
broke up the beds and chairs and
everything that belonged to tho small
wee Bear and the Middle Sized Bear
ana the great, Huge Bear.
And then, one after the other. the
Throc Bears came tumblng bome.
Somebody has been sleeping in my
bed'' said the Little Bear, surycyln.
the wreck.
Somebody has been sitting in my
cha'r'" said the Middlc-Slzed Bear.
Somebody has been eating my
porrldgc'' said the great, Huge Bear
IN MS gruff voice. And here she isl"
ana he was about to fall upon the
gauni. terrible old woman and eat
her up, when she said TO him:
IT is the Little Bear who has lived
on your porridge and slept on Your
ped ana 1t is the Middle Sized Roar
who has gotten rich selling things
| mat really belong to you. All the
; porridse is yours, and all the chairs
= ana al the beds are yours. You
p should mako these bad bears su1,r
as they have made you suffer in the
past"
which was very bad advice. Of
course But the Big Bear took il, ,o.
ne wa" hungry and cold and smart
ing from defeat and BETRAYAL
AND terrible rumpus arose in the
mousse OF the Three Bears. in the
"'ust OF which the old woman as
= capped.
Meantime the neighbors. who ver,
. nuch alarmed by what was ,otr,
on gathered and looked in at tho
windows aHd debated among tb,,
serves whether or not they spouIa
go TO the rescue of the Wee Small
Lear and tho Middle-Sized Bear. nm
somebody sad:
AFTER all the house boIonrs to tbo
Three Bears and we have ma -,.h,a
there, Let them settle the disnut,
among themselves. But perhans j.,
we send them IN some porridge and
somebody who viii put their bnds
ana chairs together they may stop
I lighting and start all over again
After all the great, Huge Bear had
ItuI grievance, and its good
'hing he has got a Cew ideas, even
Il he has gone crazy with them for
a while
