might break in, and that would be
terrible, because just couldn't have a
decent birthday party with a bear in
the house. So rushed away from the
zoo and bought a big bear trap at the
nearest hardware store. set the bear
trap on our front porch and then my
mind was easier, so went back to the
ZOO.
Well, time went awfully fast from
then on, because went into the mon
key house. and all the monkeys seemed
to get so much fun out of watching
me. So before l knew it, it was time
for George to be coming to my party.
So hurried home as fast as could,
and when got there saw big crowd
outside our house. was quite thrilled,
and ran up to find out what color
bear my trap had caught. But when
got to the door found out it was only
George that got caught, and it was a
great disappointment.
But as told George in the hospital
next day. was very smart to think of
that trap, because what if he had
really been a bear? You can't be too
careful. is what l always say, and
stitch in time saves nine.
But George didn't want to talk
about stitches.
And now I've really got to run next
door and borrow just one more book.
Do you suppose you can hold your
breath for teentsy second? =.
All right - everybody can breathe
now. And this time I've really got
exactly the book l needed. It's a
lovely. thick book called "a Cata-

stances existing at that time, in
cluding the foreign situation.

President and Vice President, for
mer Gov. ALI M. Landon of Kansas
