The Bear and the Boy TART II. After the boy had untied the bear's foot, he had forgotten all about his mother's flowers, for you remember his mother was sick. When he had untied the bear's foot, he took the things back that he had found. He went home and took the bear with him. When he stepped inside the door with the bear, his mother sat up in bed, startled. "Where on earth did you get that bear, and where are the flowers I sent you after?" "Oh, mother, 1 forgot all about your flowers. When I saw the poor bear I wanted to help it, but 1 will go right back and get them for you." He felt so happy because he had found the bear and was going to teach it tricks. He went into the woods and got wild roses, violets, tulips, lilies, buttercups, asters and daffodils. When his mother saw all of the flowers, she said. "Oh, aren't those beautiful? Go and put them in my colored vase." The next day he taught the bear how to do tricks and he earned $10 a day by going around and making the bear do tricks. That is the reward be got by being kind to a beast and he kept his mother, too.

The Moon's Mistake

The moon looked down on a city squareWhere a huge white arc light shone. "Ha, ha," he cried, "there's a moon down there; I see I am not alone!" So he called a gay little twinkling star. "Skip down to the earth," said he; "My compliments take to that other moon, I wish he would call on me." The star shot off at a merry pace Through miles of space afar, And all the people who saw It cried, , " What a beautiful shooting star!" But it never returned to the sky again I suspect that it ran away And the moon still waits for truant star And the arc light's visit, that they say! Christian Science Monitor.
