Bedtime Stories
Boxer Boasted Too Soon
Nv Thornton w. Burgess
Who neuer boasts GvoidS mjshaps
And for himself doth set 40 traps.
Mrs. Bear.

There is nothing more foolish than
boasting what you will or will not do.
Actions speak for themselves, and
actions do not always agree with q
boasting tongue. Woof-Woof had
said that she was going to keep away
from all Snakes because she feared
the harmless ones. Her twin brother
Boxer had jeered at her and boasted
that he would have no harmless
Snakes laughing at him.
1t was only a few days later that
as the twin cubs were walking along
a little path in the Old Pasture, to
which Mother Bear had led them to
look for some berries, Woof Woof, in
the lead, was startled by sharp and
very loud hiss. She stopped so sud-
denly that Boxer, who was right at
her heels, bumped into her
What is the matter with you?"
grumbled Boxer.
Woof-Woof pointed to the path just
ahead of her. There lay the ugliest-
looking Snake they had ever seen. 1t
was Boxers turn to back rather
hastily.
what is the matter With you ?"
asked Woof- Woof mischievously.

foolish because he felt foolish. But
he didn't want his sister to think he
was afraid, so he put on bold front.
POOH" said he, that is. only a
Snake. I'm not afraid. Let's catch
that fellow and eat him. I would like
to know what q Snake tastes like"
"Be careful, Boxer" warned Wool
Woof. Remember the poison people.
Perhaps this is one of them. Perhaps
it is Copperhead."
At mention of Copperhead Boxer
paused and looked very hard at that
lgly-looking Snake. He didn't care
TO be laughed at by a harmless mem
Der OF the Snake family. But this
was better than making the mistake
Of giving Copperhead, one of the most
dangerous of the poison people, a
chance TO strike. SO Boxer paused
and looked very hard. Not even Buzz
tau the Rattlesnake had looked more
fierce and ugly than this fellow. And
how he did hiss! Each tine Boxer
and Woof-Woof stepped back bit.
What was it Mother Bear said
about fiat head?" whispered Boxer.
She said TO let any Snake having a
broad fiat head and,a patchy coat have
