There may be three, which I very
much doubt, and there may be only
one. Usually, however, Mother Bear
has twins"
II would love to see them if their
mother wasn't around" said Sue, and
added, How old do you suppose they
are?"
"Oh, they were born last winter,
probably late in January or early in
February" replied Tommy in a mat
ter-of-fact tone as if he knew all
about it.
Jaw, go on!" exclaimed Sammy.
Bears sleep in the winter; they
hibernate"
Tommy grinned. Did I say they
don't?" he wanted to know. THE
cubs are born then, just the same.

been out of the den only little while

3 months old. They don't even get
their eyes open until they are 40 or
more days old. For the size of their
mother they are about the smallest
babies in the Green Forest. Seems
funny to think of such little babies
being born in the middle of winter.
Bear cubs are lot of fun. had

a peck of trouble"
Don't you think we better be get

that old Bear and her cubs, Sue"
said he. They aren't going to bother
you"

"A Bear with young is mighty dan

the same time he looked furtively this

She would like to have you think
So replied Tommy. Il met her once

and she gave me the scare Of my life,
but I know now it was all a bluff.
She probably was as afraid Of me as
I was of her, but she didn't look it.
I'll say she didn'tp'
"Are you trying to make us believe
that you think Mother Bear having
her cubs with her isn't dangerous to
meet?" demanded Sammy.
Tommy shook his head soberly
NO" said he. amy large animal
cornered with her young may be dan
gerous. Even small one will show

chances. What I mean is that no
Black Bear goes around, looking for
trouble with mankind, not even a
Mother Bear. She will make a big
bluff OF attacking, and no one with
any sense at all will call that bluff,
for there is always the chance that
she may be in earnest. The chances
are that it will be a bluff, however.

After 40, the gastric flow
often becomes scantier and
weaker, causing slower diges-

digestive stimulant as Fleisch-

digestion by strengthening and
quickening the gastric juices.
Fleischmann's Yeast is a

CASTING CRONANS
 EXPECT BIG YEAR
New Act Working on 4O- Foot Rigging Instead
 of l8-FOOter

Terryville, May 4Harwnton is laying claim to be the home of all casting acts in the country at the present time. In 1900, practically all casting acts in this country had orig mated in Bedding Penn, and from that year to 19z0, Bedding was the headquarters for all casting acts. Today, Harwinton is the headquar- ters for casting acts. At the present time the Four Del COS, which made sensational tour of Australia last year, and Lou CronanS new high act, the Cast ing Cronans" are preparing for the opening of the outdoor season. The Casting Cronans,' known for many years as the Casting Campbells, working on an 12 foot rigging are now working out on a new 70 foot rigging, which will make them the highest return casting act in the world.
 In past years, Waterbury has de- veloped some of the greatest gym nasts in the show world. The late Jerry Hurley was without doubt, the greatest horizontal bar performer in his days.
 Forty years ago he and Joe Well ton of Meriden were the cutstand- ing horizontal bar performers in the country. They played very few en- gagements in this country, most of their engagements being in Europe He was not only great performer but an originator MaDv If tho tricks performed by him would be impossible for bar performers of today.

show, there is considerable amount of fuss and feathers upon the part of the theatrical management. A special royal box is fixed up for her party. It is banked up with beauti- full flowers. There is special re- tiring room, also with many flowers, where she can powder her nose. A special red carpet is spread from the curb to the entrance to the building. All this costs considerable money, but it is bread cast upon the waters.
 Not long ago it was estimated that every time Queen Mary visits a play, it extends the run of the show by at least two months and increases the box office revenues by about 5000 per week. It is one of the many ways by which the royal family pays the public for its existence.
