Old Mother Nature.

Triplets. Three babies all of the
same age. Is it any wonder that
Boxer nearly fell out of the tree In
which he was perched when he dis
covered that Motho Bear had such
a big family? 1t was plainly to be
seen that Mother Bear was very,
very. very proud of those three little
cubs. And such funny little cubs as.
they were. This was their first time
outside their home under the old
vindfaI. and their little eyes were
round with wonder at everything
they saw. At first they simply sat
down and stared and stared ana
stared. first at one thing and then
at another.
when Boxer recovered from his
surprise he began to grow little
uneasy. What IL Mother Bear should
discoyer him up in that tree? His
first impulse was to climb down ana
get away from there as fast as ne
could. But Mother Bear would be
sure to hear him climbing down, and
she might reach the foot of that tree
before he could get away. Perhaps
the best thing to do would be 10 stay
right where he was.

three babies were too small TO 1oi-

brought them out for their first look
at the Green Forest and to play
around close to their home. she
looked as If she was the proudest
mother in all the Green Forest, and
very likely she was
Seeing that Mother Bear evidently
intended to stay right close to those
little cubs, Boxer began to feel easier
in his mind. Then as fear left jeal-
GUS thoughts crept in. 1t was for
these clumsy, homely, nearly helpless
babies that he and WooI- WooI NAG
been driven out into the Great World
by Mother Bear. 1t was to these that
Mother Bear had given the love she
had once held for Boxer and Woof-
Woof. Boxers eyes grew red with
jealous anger.
"I don't see what she wanted OF
them anyway" said he to himself.
"If ever I catch them alone, some
thing is going to happen to them.
What good are they, anyway? They
can't even walk without tumbling
over their own feet. And how homely
they are! MY gracious, how homely
they are! And Mother Bear Is per-
fectly silly over them Some day I'll
catch them alone and teach them 1t

their own home"
Now, all this time 1t had never once
entered Boxers head that those
funny little triplets were any rela-
tion to him. If any one had told him
that they were related to him just
as was his twin sister, Woof-Woof,
| he would have been as surprised a
bear as ever lived. But they were.
One of them was his own brother.
| The other two were his own sisters.
But Boxer didn't know 1t, and prob

artist in the accomplishment of pack
ing. If you cannot, you can learn
the art. Packing is simple matter
for the lone lady with only herself

AS each trunk is packed she writes
out a list of it's contents and keeps
these lists in her handbag. II a

just which trunk it has been packed

DR. William f. Gardner. secretary
of the department Of religious educa
tion of the Episcopal Church. recently
made q talk defending modern youth
which has aroused much comment
Despite gloomy prophesies 10 the con-
trary. DR.. Gardner believes that this
age is as spiritual as any which has
preceded it. Moreover he believes
that religion should be made TO fit
young people. and not young people
to fit religion.
Whenever doctrines for religion
cannot be interpreted to hold the in
terest of youth. the end of those doc
trines and customs is in sight" said
DR. Gardner IF they have no vital
truth, they become side eddies in the
stream of human interest. If they
have vital truth, youth finds il and
clothes 1t in new phrases and figures
and makes IL an asset in human en-
deavor."
. Youth hasn't stopped searching for
goodness. 1t is simply going about IL
in different way-in a franker, more
practical way. There are two phrases
much used by modern psychologists
which express the difference in the
religious attitude of the older gem
erations and the present: THE in
telligence approach" and the "senti-
ment approach" to problems The
older generations accepted religion
with their hearts. refusing TO reason
or question. The present generation
is building a code of conduct with
its head. And although sentiment
is beautiful and comforting thing,
1t Is intelligence which produces the
eoods'-intelligence which makes for
Justice, freedom and progress.
II wasn't good form for the rank
and flle to discuss the vital problems
of life prior to 1900. One didn't at
