lad been so busy covering the pond OF
Paddy the Beaver and the Smiling
Pool with ice and freezing the ground
and pinching all the toes and noses
he could find.
Mother Bear and the twins had
started out early that evening. for by
now food was getting scarce and they
had to hunt for every mouthful. Jack
Frost found them and at once began
to pinch their noses and toes every
chance he got. Boxer and Woof-
Woof didn't know what to make of it.

whined Boxer. holding up one paw
and shaking 1t,

Woof, rubbing her nose with one paw.
The ground is hard and hurts my
feet" complained Boxer. Pm all

my comfortable bed" whimpered
Woof- -Woof
I'm not hungry. I'm not hungry
bit. But l am sleepy" grumbled
Boxer as he shuff1ed along after
Mother Bear.
''Ouch! cried woof-Woof. Some
thing bit my earl" OF course. nothing
had bitten it: Jack Frost had pinched
it rather sharply.
Mother Bear lost patience. She sud-
denly turned and cuffed both cubs
sharply. Shame on you. Shame on
you both" she growled. The idea
of fussing over little cold weather
Now stop that whining. I can stand
anything but whining. Step lively
and you won't feel the cold" She
raised big paw and the twins did
step lively. In fact. each tried to beat
the other in getting beyond Mother
Bears reach.
For while they scampered about
so fast that Jack Frost didn't have
chance to make himself felt. But
as it grew later and later the cubs
grew tired and Jack Frost grew
stronger. Then Boxer and Woof-
Woof began whining again. They
whined and whimpered until Mother
Bear lost all patience and led the
way straight to the great pile of
fallen trees under which was the den
In which the cubs had been born.
With slap for each from one of her
big paws she sent them squealing
inside. Then she sat for a while out
side in the moonlight. After a while
she yawned. Then she yawned again
and still again. She looked up sleep
lily at Mistress Moon. Then slowly
she turned. looked this way and that
way, and crept in under the windfall
L guess the time has come" she
grumbled way down in her throat.
Now what did she mean by that?"
muttered Peter Rabbit, who had hap
pened to be near enough to overhear
her.

Macarthur says that "the cadet Is
made to experience each day mutual
response between the mental and

though the schedule takes on the
seriousness of other activities re-

Swimming parties are taboo at

first hot wave th.. r.g or-r -r-alr :
ming pool would be open to daily
uSr
The janitor thereupon emptied the
pool and scrubbed its bottom in
dustriously. From old wardrobes
bathing suits of all descriptions
were hung up to afr. The eventful
morning arrived and the priests
joyfully gamboled to the end of the
pool. Dismay awaited them. It was
as dry at the Snhara.
Can't you turn on the wster?"
the janitor telephoned the Water
Department.
''Nothin' doin'." was the cut re-
sponse. we can't spare any water
for that pool until September l."
Now the ianitor is kept busy eI-
planning why he drained the pool be-
fore finding out about summer regu-

MRS. KABER FAILS

Insane Hatred" of Husband
Urged as Defense in
Murder Trial.

CLEVELAND. July IA fiend in
human form,"-or a woman who
never had a chance?
Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber's life
or death depends on herself. The
jury which is trying her for the
murder Of her husband. Dan Kaber,
will be asked to decide which of the
two, phrases describes the woman
better.
On the stand she will tell how at
the age of 16 she was married to
Thomas McArdle. then a Cleveland
bartender, now a Chicago business
man; how she was divorced and re-
married to a barber; and of the
shance for ease and opportunity for
her daughter which she saw when,
in her 27th year, she met Dan
Kaber, a wealthy Cleveland pub
Usher. Her marriage to him and
the horrible story of her degeneracy
will be the basis of the defense
plea. that she was rendered ire
sponsible by insane hatred"
Unlike other women in celebrated
murder trials she has no personal
attractions and ignores the public
instead of bidding for their SYM
pathy.
At 40 she is aged and weary.
Her strange, warped life should, ac-
cording to the prosecution. end in
