Dear Children: How many of you
read the story about the two bears
out west? These two bears come
down to the side Of the highway and
hold up motorists, for money? No, in
deed! for food. People who have been
out there say it is a sight worth see
ing. The bears stand on their hind
legs, with fore feet up and beg. OF
course everybody hears about them
before reaching the spot and so are
prepared to pay them their toll.
They are very gentle and friendly. 1
think it would add interest to your
letters if you would write some inter-
esting things about animals you
know or know about. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia: If you will let me in
for few minutes I will tell you how George
Washington hacked through his long, noble
life:
He had a little hatchet--little George
A Ratchet bright and new;
And sharp enough to cut a stick,
A little stick-in two,
He hacked and whacked, and whacked and
hacked,
This sturdy little man.
he, hacked log and hacked a fence,
AS round about he ran,
He hacked his fathers cherry tree,
And made an ugly spot;
The bark was soft, the. hatchet sharp. o.
And little George forgot
You know the rest, the father frowned,
And asked the reason why,
You know the good old story runs,
He could not tell lie.
The boy that chopped that cherry tree,
Soon grew to be a youth,
At work and book he hacked away,
And still he told the truth,
He fought the armies that the king
Had sent across the sea,
He battled up and down the land,s
To set his countrw free.
If any of you cousins care to write, send
your letters and cards to
Norcross, Ca, R. F. D. 2.
