An Exciting Moment.
An angry mother few can face;
Avoiding her Is no disgrace.
-Y0WI ER THE RON


Littlest Bear was so shocked by the
discovery that Yowler the Bob Cat
could climb a tree as we'll as she
could that for a second or two she
just chung to her branch and stared
down with unbelieving eyes. Then
she realized that she was no longer
safe. With cry of fright she turned
and scrambled up, crying all the way.
Up and up she went until she was in
the very top of that tree.
Up and up and up and up came
Yowler the Bob Cat. Yowler was
nervous He kept stopping every few
feet to listen and to look anXiously
for signs of Mother Bear. He felt
sure that little Bear was lost, but
there was no knowing how near
Mother Bear might be, and If she
should hear that little Bears cries
she would come in a hurry. How
1owler did wish that little Bear
would stop crying!
Now. Littlest Bear was so small
that she could climb up where the
top Of that tree was very slender
and small. There she hung on with
the claws of all four feet, and cried
as only a frightened little Bear can
cry. Yowler didn't dare climb quite
high enough to reach her. He was
too big. He stopped just a little be-
low her, and tried to think of some
way of making her let go.
Suddenly there was an angry
"Woof, wool" just below. and the
sound of great claws digging into
the trunk of that tree. One glance
down was enough for Yowler. There
was Mother Bear coming up that
tree at a rate that was astonishing
in one so big. One look was enough
Yowler started down, and he went
down twice as fast as he had come
up. He ran out on the first big
branch he came to. Just as Mother
Bear reached that branch YowleI
made a flying leap and caught q
branch of the next tree. There he
hung for a moment, vainly trying tc
pull himself up on it. Then he
slipped and dropped. Fortunately fol-
him there was a big branch just be-
low him. and this one he succeeded
in holding onto. He pulled himself
up on it, and then with a screecf
of rage and disappointment he climb
ed down from that tree and dis
! appeared the instant he reached the
ground.

For generations housekeepers have
closets, well-stocked preserve ana
jelly closets, and their neat kitchen
cupboards. While not SO attractive
to look at, the cleaning closet is just
as important BY grouping together
brooms. brushes. busters. mops. and
all the many things needed in clean
ing. and keeping the closet in order,
the housekeeper need not waste time
or take extra steps in collecting these
things when she wants them. 1t Is a
more sanitary and tidy practice tostore
cleaning tools in place by them
selves than to leave them in 4 corner
of the kitchen or pantry as is so often
done.
The cleaning closet should be con-
venient to the whole house. Some
times especially in large houses,
good arrangement is to have clean
ing closet on each floor with supply
of things most frequently used II a
built-i in closet is not available, an ola
wardrobe may be fitted up. Some
times the cleaning closet opens off
the back hall or the combination
laundry and Mushroom. which Is
found an almost Indispensable room
in most homes. This, also, Is a sood
place for 1t.
should BE Ventilated.
The cleaning closet should be Ventl-
lated by cutting holes in the door or
by means of transom. Shelves
should be arranged for the cans ana
bottles of cleaning materials ana
other small articles, and there should
be plenty of hooks of proper heights
for brushes. brooms and mops. THESE
should be hung so that the weight
does not rest on the strawS, Drlstles
or strings. The carpet sweeper, also'
should be set or hung so that the
weight does not come on the brushes.
Well made, durable tools are gen
orally most economical in the end'
though they may cost more at the
outset
Keep Cloths In Can.
The oily cloths used in polishing
floors and furniture, especially II
moistened with linseed oil. are a
serious fire hazard unless kept in a
covered fireproof container. A tin or
galvanized iron can with close-htting
| lid is good for this purpose.
Tools last longer and work better
If put back in the closet clean and
ready for use the next time.

She couldn't get down to Mother
Bear quick enough. No. sir; she
couldn't get down to Mother Bear
quick enough. She forgot that she
might be punished. She forgot that
she had run away. She forgot every
thing but the desire to get right close
to Mother Bear.
Mother Bear didn't wait for her.
She promptly started down the tree
herself. After her scrambled Littlest
Bear as fast as she could. and she
was whimpering again. But this time
the whimpers were little whimpers
of joy. Littlest Bear didn't intend
to let Mother Bear get out OF her
sight again as long as she lived.
Anyway that is the way she left just
then. When Mother Bear reached
the ground she waited for Littlest
Bear. She didn't have to wait but
second or two. Then without word
Mother Bear turned and led the way
to where she had left Brother and
Sister up in tree. And Littlest Bear
kept so close to her heels that she
almost stepped on them.

FLEECY STAPLE IS| UNSETTLED AND CLOSES AT LOSS

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.--(By Associ- ated Press.)-The cotton market was extremely nervous and unsettled to- day. An early advance to 27.7Sc for May was followed by break to 2722c, but 30 points of the loss was recovered and that delivery closed at 2752c. The general market closed steady, to 12 points net lower.
 The market opened steady, to IT points higher. with the active months selling IS to 20 points net higher right after the call on higher Liver pool cables, covering by recent sell CTS and some rebuying inspired by the firmer early ruling of sterling, a more favorable view of the Near Eastern situation and bullish over- night spot advices. The advance, however, met a renewal of scattering liquidation which included selling for southern account and probably was influenced by reports of a continued Hull in the demand for cotton goods in the Manchester market and re- iterated reports that the southwest was preparing to, increase its acre age materially this spring.
 There was scale down buying, which showed tendency to increase around 27.52 for May, but very mod crate rallies met further liquidation and the market was weak and un- settled during the afternoon. Stop ccders were uncovered as prices worked lower and the decline con tinued until March sold at 26.93c and July at 26,77c. or 36 to 46 points net lower on the old crop months, while October at 27.53c showed a net de- cline of 26 points. Offerings then tapered off and there was a rapid rally in the late trading on covering and reports that there had been an increase in trade cemand on the de- cline.
 Reports received here from New Orleans said there had been an in- creased spot demand there late yes- terday and there were private ad- vices from other southern spot mar kets, claiming that very little cotton was offering and that holders were refusing to sell at declines.
