Story Por Little PolKs A COLD SHAKE One day old polar bear had Just flu Ished a dinner of frozen fish and wab ru hide boots, the boots having been left him by an arctic explorer whom h bad eaten at a previous meal, and wai taking a quiet promenade on the Id floe when be ran across a would be hunter, gold prospector, lole discoverer and what not currying a double bar reled gun. Curloua to see this strange personage, Mr. Bear drew near. "What are you doing there, If 1 may be so boldT b asked. "Oh, I'm loading for tear," replied the hunter, putting in some more shot "I hope you will forbear,' said Mr. Polar, rising upon bis hind legs and opening his mouth pleadingly. "I find It Inconvenient to carry much lead about my person so heavy, don't you know. Bat, say, why did you think ol shooting in my direction?" "Well, you see," said the hunter aad It, "I was brought up on a certain "111 LOADCJO FOB BE AS " breakfast food, and every morning as a boy a box of this same stood before my plate. I bad to eat it or starve. It bad a big bear on the outside, and I made np my mind as a boy to kill any bear that came my way, they remind me so of the breakfast food." "Well," said Mr. Bear, "I guess if that's tbe case yon ought to have satis faction. Tou look half starved, and if It will do you good I'm ready to be a victim. But let me tell you how to make your shot scatter." "Haw?" asked the hunter interested ly. "Oh, put in one shot at a time," said Mr. Bear. "Never thought of it," said the hunter and emptied all the contents of his gun barrels in the snow. Mr. Polar saw bis chance and was off. "Goodby," he yelled. "You need more breakfast food."

"If you go," said the teacher the day before, "be sure to see the ele phant, the most knowing of all quad rupeds and for sagacity called the 'half reasoning elephant.' " "Tou bet I'll see him!" said Mickey. "I ain't been doln chores all de spring fer nuttuiV Once within the canvas be made straight for the elephants. "Gee!" said Mickey. "Who punctu ated your tire?" "What's that yer glvin' us, young ster?" replied the elephant. "(Some one must have stuck pins In yr cover, all right," grinned Mick, "for you're all wrinkled up. Say," be continued, "can you tell me why you are like a stove?" it's best to pai the fkice. The great beast shook his head. "I could tell you part of it," he said. "Part's no good," answered Mick. " 'Cause neither of yez kin climb a tree backwards. Here's another: What's de dlff between you and a tree?" "Because the trunk is not on the bough, but the bow is" "Why don't yo;i go on?" asked Mick. "Because I'm not expected to." "Why aren't you expected to?" "I suppose because If you knew tlien"- "Is that all?" asked Mick in surprise. "That's all. You see, I'm called the half reasoning elephant, nnfi I don't in tend to do whole reasoning at half price. You came in here on a half tick et, and I guess you have got your mon ey's worth.
