Mother Bear Gives the Triplets ■ Lesson. By erring end doing a treeoa !e learned And knowledge and wisdom together are earned. —Mother Bear. It wag as Mrs. Grouse had said; Mother Rear Is not given to doing any one thing very long at a time. That hole In which Peter Rabbit had hidden was a deep one, and Mother Bear goon gave up trying to dig It open. The little Bears were not quite so ready to give up. f .- <hey found a lot of excitement In digging. But wh‘»n Mother Bear shuffled away and told them to follow, they didn t dare disobey. Mother Hear shuffled along lazily until finally they came to a little open place In the middle of which was a mound of sand. Mother Bear's eyes brightened. Khe called tt^p trip lets and led them over to It. All| about in that mound of sand were lit tle holes, imd going in and out of! those holes and scurrying about in all directions were big ants. That Is, they were big ns ants go. Mother Bear licked her lips greedily. The three little Bears licked their lips. They had already learned to like ants. "This," salt! Mother Bear, "Is an ant castle. Down under ground are ever and ever and ever so many ants. Watch me, and I’ll show you how to, get them." The three little Benrs sat down to watch. They were very much puz zled. They wondered If Mother Bear would try to dig that ant castle open. They wondered how she would be able to lick up thoBe ants without getting a lot of sand with them. They tried It themselves as they saw ants running back and forth over the mound, hut each time they got more sand than was at all to their liking. , Mother Bear sat down heslde the mound and then dug down Into the middle of it with one big paw, and worked It back and forth, and round and round. Then she withdrew it, and stretched out flat on the ground with both forepaws out In front of her on the edge of that mound. At once out poured an army of very-'nngry ants. They were angry because their home had been dis turbed. Right away they found Mother Bear's lag paws and began to swarm up along them. They seemed to know that here was the enemy who had disturbed their oastle. Now of course Mother Bear's paws were covered with hair, and those ants could not easily get down to the skin to bite. Moreover, it wasn't easy traveling over those hairs. But they kept on just the same. Then out » ■ ----— swept Mother Bear's long tongue, and licked up the ants that wrre on her paws. As fast ns they carne out and climbed up on her big paws she swept them Into her mouth. There was no sand. • ‘'This,” said Mother Rear, "is an ant castle." Now. Tittle Bears learn quickly. They watched round eyed for a few minutes, and then they, too, stretched themselves out on the ground with their little paws out in front of them, and began to lick up the ants that came crawling up on those paws. Once In a while Mother Bear would stop to dig down Into that rastle and stir it up again. This was to keep the ants angry. Each time more poured out to fight for their home. Such a feast as those Bears had, for they are very, very fond of ants. All .Bears are. .When at last no more ants came out. Mother Bear arose and shook herself. Each of the little Bears did the same thing. ‘‘Now, my dears," said Mother Bear, ‘‘you know how to get ants when you are for _ 9 WHEN IN NEED OE HELP THY TIIE WANT ADS. 75c Cash Then $6 Per Month Establishing a New Low Price Reliable I—■ Gas Ranges •532 Without Lorain *662 With Lorain $74.00 Valne 1 for $48.74.
