T.

He Drefers to hint at things and let . others guess at just what he means. Then "if they guess wrong hey t annot say ' that he told them wrong.' There - are many people like Old Man Coyote in the Great World and they do a great deal of mischief and get a great many others into trouble without getting Into trouble themselves. Now. Old Man Coyote was not at alll pleased with the Idea of another Bear in the Green Forest. ' Buster Bear was quite enough to Old Man Coyote's way of thinking. In fact, he would have been glad enough to have ; had ; the 'Green Forest rid of Buster. Buster had caught many a mouse that Old Man Coyote had intended for himself. Now, to have another Bear, Mrs. Buster, in the Green Forest was most disturbing. But you would never have guessed this could you have seen him and heard him the first time he met Mrs. Bear. It was near the place where Peter Rab bit had seen Mrs. Bear digging roots. He came trotting along through the Green Forest quite as if the : last thought in his shrewd ' head was that any one else was about, vv hen he saw Mrs. Bear he stopped short and sat down with such a look of surprise on his sharp . face that you never would have guessed that he had been follow ing Mrs. Bear's scent with his keen nose; in fact,, had been looking fori her. "Well. well, well, what a surprise 1" exclaimed Old Man Coyote, grinning in a way that was intended to be pleasant. "Welcome to the Green j Forest, Mrs. Bear ! Have you come for a vislf, or do you intend to stay?" Mrs Bear . stopped digging long enough to look at Old Man Coyote, and in ther small eyes for her sixe her eyes were small was a gleam of sus picion which might have made Old Man Coyote uneasy had he seen it. "I rather think I will stay, said she in a deep, grumbly, rumbly voice, which she tried to make sound pleasant. "This seems to be quite, the nicest place I have ever found. I've about decided tp make my home here.". : "Splendid!" exclaimed Old Man Coy ote, trying to make his voice sound hearty and as if he were delighted. "Splendid! Permit me to welcome. you to the Green Forest. We ehall all feel very proud to have you for a neighbor, and I am sure you will like the Green Forest. ;.'' "'V ' i . t. "I like it now," grunted Mrs. Bear. "Of course 'you do. Of course you do." agreed Old Man Coyote.

" i ; "Oh nothing ; serious, nothing serious. Mrs. Bear,' replied Old Man Coyote. "Nothing to be alarmed .about. I was just thinking how much "nicer It would be if hunters with terrible guns never came here, and what a nuisance a dog can be when he gets on one's trail. But just the same, I am very fond of the Green Forest. I don't suppose there is any place in all the Great World that is quite perfect. Now, I must be on my way,' I hope I'll see you often, Mrs. Bear, and that you'll find this quite as pleasant a place as you ex pected." : j ; - "With this Old Man Coyote made her a polite bow and trotted off.

Now. if Reddy Fox will do his part asd lead Bowser the Hound over here, and Farmer Brown's boy will just come poking about so that she can see him or smell him, I guess we will soon be rid of her."' :-- ' ",y.: ; r Copyris-ht. 1921. by T.

B. Van Duzer, manager of the Inman Poulsen . Lumber company, who ad dressed a meeting of the Portland Realty board at the Portland hotel Friday. High freight rates on transcontinental shipment have delivered the Eastern lumber : market into the hands of the Southern pine manufacturers Van Duzer stated, and cheap sea tonnage is respon sible for the meagre prosperity of Port land mills. ; ' The average weekly output of North western lumber mills is about 60 per cent of normal and mills of Portland and other river cities are producing approx imately 75 per cent of . their normal output.
