Farmer Brown Ready for Buster
Bear.
Just as Jolly, round, red Mr. Sun
went to bed behind the Purple Hills
and the first Black Shadows began
to craep in among the big maple trees
id the Green: Forest, the very last tail
of sap was emptied into the great
barrel beside the sugar house by
Farmer Brown's boy. Then he and
Farmer Brown ate the supper Mrs.
Brown had put up for them. As they
ate they talked about Buster Bear and
thA leaaon they would give him.
"Do you suppose he will come back
tonight?" asked Farmer Brown's Boy.
"Not the least aouBt in the worm.
replied Farmer Brown. "A bear can
no more keep away from sweets than a
boy can from candy. I snouia tninic
he'd have the stomachache arter an
ha ate last night, but I Suspect that by
this time be has forgotten everything
but how good it tasted, and that he's
got his plans all made to have another
feast. I expected that our neighbors
would say that I am crasy not to shoot
him, but I begin to feel a good deal aa
you do, son. as long as ne aoes so
harm I rattier nice tne iaea or navmg
him in the Green Forest. Most people
are terribly j afraid of bears,- but the
truth1 is bears are even more afraid
of people. The only time, a bear is
dangerous is when he thinks he is
cornered and has got to fight, or when
a imother bear has cubs to protect.
Teu've seen this beg two or three
Itrmea. but it waa when, you surprised
rhim. Probably He " has seen you a
dozen times and has been clever
enough to kep out of sight. Give a
bear a chance to get away and he'll
do It every time. After the scare we
are going to give him tonight he'll
be lucky ; if; we ever see ; him again
even if he does continue to live right
here In the Green Forest." ,
"How soon do you suppose he will
come?" asked Farmer Brown's Boy.
"Well," replied Farmer Brown, "I
suspect that he will be hanging around
here where he can watch us- just as
soon as it get real dark, but he won't
try to come j In here until all Is quiet
and he thinks we have gone - away.
We'll keeo right on making sugar until
it is time to go to bed. Then you can
fix things, we'll let the fire die down,
put out the lights and keep perfectly
till. I don't believe hell keep us
waiting very long. If he does we'll
take turns sleeping. You told mother
to give you the thickest blankets she
had. didn't your'
Farmer Brown's Boy nodded. I
brought along a horse blanket, too,"
said he. -
As soon as supper was finished they
went to work again, and it was very
late Indeed when Farmer Brown finally'
said It was time to stop. Farmer
Brown's Boy set his camera up so that
it wouia race tne open floor. Then he
arranged ,ome little- boxes - f gray I

touch it with a piece of burning punk,
which is something that burns very
slowly without makinr an li-ht IThe
instant ha should do that the gray
powoer would explode and make a
blinding flash of Jlght, and for that
reason it is called a flashlight twwder.
It would do two things: It would give
Buster Bear a terrible fright and it
would take his photograph. The ter
rible gun wasMoaded and put where It
could be grabbed instantly. Then they
aat down to wait. !
Buster Bear didn't come as soon a4
Farmer Brown expected. They waited
and waited, keeping perfectly stilh but
no sign of Buster Bear. At I last
farmer Brown rolled up in the blank
ets on a nice bed of fir boughs in one"
corner and went to sleep. It was still
and very dark and very exciting to
Farmer Brown's Boy keeping watch.
Funny little shivers ran over hlm.i He
wondered just where Buster Bear was
and if he, would hear him coming.

-So by turns they watched the long

Bear. The truth Is Buster waa nurs

by hot syrup the night before, and he
wasn't very hungry, anyway.

PLAY DAMAGED GOODS,
AROUSES PUBLIC COMMENT
Frencfi Drama . Produced at
Local Theatre Termed
Indecent by Editor. .
From the Salem Oregon) Journal of
March SC. 1916. u:
In Portland the regular stock company
at one of, the leading theatres will
Play "Damaged Goods," a French
drama of the most' malodorous! adrt.
It is Indecent, disgustingly suggestive
Of all that ought to. be shunned by self
respecting persons, and lacks a single
redeeming gleam of wit or -humor.
Everybody who is normal In the at
tributes of manhood or womanhood
who sees it will go away disgusted
with having witnessed the perform
ance, and with a poorer opinion Of the
theatre and what it stands for, ; since
this play is as obscene as the literature
prohibited from the mails. i
Portland, as part of an expensive
and complicated system of govern
ment, has a paid board of picture film
censors, and is supposed to be trying
to safeguard theatre-goers against
vicious and degrading productions
and yet it tolerates, with ho objection
from press, police or pulpit, so far as
we have noticed, a .play put on by an
unscrupulous management with the
idea that people, will go to see it Out
of curiosity because it deals with sub
jects heretofore considered unfit for
publia discussion or dramatisation.
The meretricious management Of the
playhouse, knowing how to whet the
lewd and- morbid appetite of the mob,
advertises that "children under 16 will
hot be admitted unless accompanied
by parents or guardians." As a matter
of fact a theatre manager who would
let a child under 16 see "Damaged
Goods"' in any circumstances, ought
to be : publicly horsewhipped.
