They learned to keep out of his way
when he was hungry. They romped
with him when he had dined well.
"Father," said Cuffy one evening,
when Mr. Bear had eaten an enor
mou meal "Father, please give me
a ridel"
"A ridel". Mr. Bear echoed in a
hearty voice. "Not tonight, my lad!
I've been tramping up and down the
valley all day; and I'm too tired to
go trotting about with a great heavy
fellow like you on my back."
Mr. Bear was, so pleaiant that Cuf
fy dared to tease him a bit. But his
father, though good-natured, was
quite firm.
"I'm not going to stir from this
comfortable den," he told his son.
"Then," said Cuffy, "I'll have to
ride at home."
"Oh, hoi" his father lauRhed.
"Who's going to give it to you?"
"You are," Cuffy told him. "You're
going to sit down and cross your
knees and give me a ride on your
foot."
"Ohl That's different," Mr. Bear
answered. "If that' the sort of ride
you want I'll Rive you a long one
a 20-mile one."
"Who will count the miles?" Cuffy
asked.
"I will," said Mr. Bear with a mer
ry smile. Then he set himself down
and Cuffy crawled up on hi father's
foot. He hadn't ridden far when lit
tle Silkie came in. She squealed at
what she saw, crying, "I want a ride,
too. Let me have a tturnl"
"Now, you" Cuffy began to ob

"Tut I Tut!" Mr. Bear interrupted.
"There's plenty of room for two."
.And that was true, because Mr.
Bear - had ' feet of enormous size.
"Climb ur hehind your brother!" he
said to Silkie.
She never obeyed more quickly.
Clasping her arms about Cuffy's
plump waist or the place where his
waist would have been if he had had
one Silkie cried. "Giddap!"
"You stop talking!" Cuffy ordered.
"I'm driving."
"Tut! Tut!" said Mr. Bear again.

"I neverl" Silkie cried.
"Tut! Tut!" Mr. Bear cautioned
them. "If there' trouble there

Well, they rode perhaps a mile
further (the way Mr. Bear counted)
when Silkie gave a piercing scream.
"He pricked me," she wailed,
thumping Culfy over the head with
her paw.
"Stop!" Mr. Hear' big voice
boomed. 'If there' a bit more

Mr. Bear was just about to say
the word "pig.". That was his fa
vorite poem that he was chanting, be
causeas he said he was very fond
of pork and the words tasted sweet
on his tongue. But this time he
didn't finish the poem. He never
really uttered the word "pig" at all.
Instead, he let out a terrific roar;
and giving a kick he sent the chil
dren flying.
"Owl Ow! Ouch!" Mr. Bear
shrieked.
"What is the matter, Ephriam?"
Mrs. Bear besought him.
"Somebody pricked me. One of
'em pricked my foot. And if I knew
which one did it I'd I'd I'd "
"Now, Ephriam! I'm sure the
children didn't mean to hurt you,"
said Mrs. Bear soothingly.
"Oh, no! I wouldn't hurt Pa,"
Cuffy exclaimed.
"Nor I!" whispered Silkie.
"I thought- I was sticking my
claws into her," Cuffy explained,
frowning at his sister.
"I thought I was sticking mine

at her brother.
"Go to bed, both of youl" their
father commanded gruffly.
They 'jumped to obey him.
"Oh, dear!" said Mrs. Bear. "I

Common Sense
Do You Feel Like Giving Up The
Fight Sometimes?
Allowing yourself to become com
pletely discouraged is dangerous to
your welfare and that ot your fam
ily. There are times in every man s life
when it is hard to keep up.
11 ills come taster than you can
meet them.
Unexpected expenses and ill luck
overtake you, and you think your
family more extravagant than its
members should be, all combining to
make it appear to you that there is
no use trying to continue' such an
uphill fight.
But supposing you do give up.
what then?
Would you be any happier?
You have these debts against you,
and your family must be supported
or you will suffer injured pride, if
nothing more.
If you give up. you will be less
able to work your way out, so what
do you gam by throwing ud your
hands?
In a short time you would resrret
your action, and it might take you
a long time to reach the place you
had before you crumpled under your
troubles.

is the only sane thing to do.
Kemember you neighbors also
have the same discouraRements.
xour failure to keep on the job
means other failures.
How can "school spirit" best be
taught to children?
By the parents co-operating with
the school teacher. It is a fact not
sufficiently realized that the chief
reason why there is lets school spirit
among children at the present time
than in the time of their grandpar
ents, and this in spite of the fact
that so much is now done to make
school "pleasant" for children, is that
present-day parents not only co-operate
so little, but have so slight an
acquaintance with the school teachers.

Why Can't You Have the Pleasures Others Have?
If That Dull, Nagging Backache Is Spoiling Your Summer and Making You
Tired, Worn-Out and Miserable, Look to Your Kidneys.
V-ACATION DAYS! Care and worry
put. aside rest, recreation, good
times! Such is August to many
happy folks. But to others it means only
another month of hot weather of added
burdens that tired bodies and frayed
nerves can hardly endure.
Which picture tells your story?"
Is failing health makingyou uneasy
and unhappy? Are you nervous and de
pressed ; tired, worn out and miserable
back ache as though it would break?
Don't give in to it! Find out what is
wrong and try to correct it.
Have you thought of your kidneys?
Kidney trouble often comes before the
sufferer realizes what,is wrong. But the
early warnings are all too plain.
You are tired, lame, achy- tortured
with nerve-racking backache ; you have
sharp, knife-like pains at every sudden
move ; daily headaches, too, spells of diz
ziness and annoying kidney irregularities.
Truly the whole world seems wrong
and it is no wonder you feel so gloomy
and utterly worn out.
Cheer up determine to get well!
Usually these troubles are easily corrected
if treated in time. Begin now with Doan's
Kidney Pills. Doan's have helped thou
sands and should help you. Ask your
neighbor!
"Use Doan's," Say These Omaha Folks:
B. LOCH, 1807 C St., says: "I suffered
with lumbago and my kidneys acted irregu
larly. I was annoyed having to, get up often
during the night to pass the kidney secretions
and they contained a reddish sediment. My
back ached continually, and it broke my rest.
Mornings I felt worn ont and miserable. I
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and I was
lead to try them. I bought a couple of boxes
at Gates' Drug Store and after using them
I was rid of the trouble."
MRS. CHAS. APPLETON, 2818 South
17th St., says: "I was quite poorly, owing
to backache and kidney disorder.' I began
using Doan's Kidney Pills and quick relief
followed. They acted as a tonic to my kid
neys, giving them strength and correcting
all the trouble. The successful trial of this
medicine by another member of the family
gives us further proof of its merits, for the
help we have derived from Doan's Kidney
Pills has been of a permanent nature."

What h Reaflly Going On
Anions Omaha Newspapers
THE OMAHA BEE does not believe that the volume
of advertising carried is the best criterion of the
value of the newspaper as an advertising medium. But
much emphasis has been placed on advertising figures
in Omaha newspapers, so The Omaha Bee herewith gives
the story as shown by the July figures.
Gains in Paid Advertising Less Legal

Gain
To be absolutely fair to the other papers, and in the interests of
"clean advertising," The Omaha Bee has eliminated entirely from
its figures 2,442 inches of special advertising of the "Prosperity
Number" of July 2. With these figures included, gains are as
follows: The Omaha Bee gain, 32.05; The World-Herald gain,
16.63; The News loss, 3.73.
