Paer answered Hourly, backing up against the building, "you ought to ,make a good orator;" ? "I can' talk best," Ferd answered, " "wnen there's only; one in . the audi ence. What makes you think I'd be a good orator?" : " i'ou've got bo much force In your ' gestures," T. Paer growled wriggling his shoulders. "You ought to learn the sign language." I - "I forgot I'm bo Strong," Ferd applo-gire-d. "Have a cigar." "No thanks," T. Paer answered hast ily. "I've quit smokin'." ' "They're Bob's brand." Ferd coaxed. "Only a few of his friends get 'em." "Better save 'em,f T. Paer suggested, "the election's oveir nd another one's coming." i 4 "If you Insist," said Ferd reluctantly. "Are you making a! garden this "year 7" "I been thinkin' of It," T. Paer .ad mitted, "if it ever gets dry enough, to ppade It up." : i i "Come right i up to the office," Ferd insisted hospitably, "Pat's just sent me a carload of seeds to give to his friends." "Why pick on me?" T. Paer asked. . "Won't anybody else take m?" "Kverybody wants 'em," Ferd con fided. ."Hafts of people're after 'em." "Amateurs," T. paer scoffed. "I'd rather , pay a little 'nd know ' I was goln' to get radishes 'nil not pumpkins when I planted 'em." "But these are fine seeds,". Ferd In 'fcisted. "They've ben tested In Wash ington." ! ' "What're they tested ..for?" T. Paer questioned. "What1 do politicians know 'about testin' sednj" . "For fertility," ' Ferd told him. "They're guaranteed to grow." "(row what?" T. Paer asked him. "Gardens, of course," Ferd assured him. "Every seed's supposed - to be good." "You're wrong," T. Paer said positive ly. "They ain't tested to grow that at all." . -. . , - . " ' "What're they 4ested for then? Ferd "What could they asked patronizingly. be tested for?" "To grow votes." T. Paer said. "That's the only crop them Washington gar deners're Interested In." if - WellJ Ferd admitted, "Pat does, ex pect his friends to remember where they got the seeds." "From my experience with 'em," T. Paer chuckled, "it'd be just as well for 'em to forget who furnished 'em. ;The beans 'nd . corn- 'nd peas are all right though." i "Why i are they different?" Ferd asked. "They're all the same seeds," "You :can cook 'em," T. Paer ex plained, "if you get enough of 'em at once." ! . "Pat wouldn't care what you did with them," Ferd assured him. "All he wants is to have them distributed." f'You know." T. Paer grinned, "It's funny that senators're always horticul turists 'nd congressmen're always gar deners, ain't it?" "They're not," Ferd said. "What makes you think they are?" "Because," T. Paer related, "senators distribute political plums 'nd congress men distribute political seeds." "HawI'M Ferd chortled, "I never thought ! of it like -that, but they do, don't they?" "But the thing that gets me," T. Paer confided, "is that they expect the plums 'nd the seeds to do the same thing after they're planted." "What's that?" Ferd wanted to know. "They expect both of 'em to yield a crop of votes," T. Paer answered. "Yesj" Ferd conceded, "and they gen erally do. If they're planted right." "But they's another funny thing about it," T. Paer continued. "Just as funny' as the rest." . "What's that?" Ferd asked. "If a Republican sends 'em out," T. Paer said,; "he expects 'em to yield Re publican vote, 'nd If he's a Democrat he expects a Democratic crop all out'n the same sack." "That, don't seem natural." Ferd an swered," "but there's lots of things in politics that ain't natural." ; "Uh, huh.'" T. Paer said absently. "I guess it's the fertilizer that makes the difference in the kind of votes," L 1921 BY INTO. FtATOBK StWVICK. INC. 4-12 LITTLE JIMMY "CniU'riuht. IBS I, by tntrniatinnal Fur i- r.- .

THE twins, Boier and Woof -Woof, had begun to j wonder if they and their mother were the only Bears In the Green Forest. fc!o far. they had seen no other. Then one day, as they were plavlng- about neari the Laughing Brook, while a litUe way jotf Mother Bear, was bupy tearing open; an old stump after ants, Woof-Woof discovered a footprint. She showed it to Boxer. Then the two little cubs sat up and started at each other and their little eyes were very round with wonder. "Mother Bear didn't make that foot print." whispered Boxer, as if he were ftaid5fof hemp ojverheard.. "Who do .you"uppose did?" Woof-Woof moved a little nearer to Boxer. "I haven't any idea," she whis pered back, and hurriedly glanced all around. r'It '.wasn't Mother pear, for there is one of Slier footprints right over there and it; is. different- There must be a great big stranger around here." . . - - . How the - maker of that footprint would have laughed had he heard him nlf called a Ktranper in the Green Forest. You seef Mrs. Bear really was the .stranger. I She had come down there to live only the fall before. But, tf course, the twins didn't know this. They : supposed she had always lived there. , j Tho twins drew very, close together and stood up that they might better stare in every direction. They were a little frightened! at the thought that a big Btranger ' might be near. . Then they remembered that Mother Bear was only a little way .off and at once they felt better, They saw no stranger. Kverything about i them seemed just as it should be. They cocked their little ears to listen. All they heard was the . sound of Mother: Bear's great - cla.ws Resinol Brings a smile of relief as soon as it touches that irritated skin. Save your self hours of ir ritation, by keep ing a jar on and.. Cool, soothing, and so nearly flesh color it hardly shows at all. Tour druggist sells It. Ask for 1U tearing open that old stump, the cawing of Blacky the Crow far In the distance, the gurgle of jthe Laughing Brook and the whispering o the Merry Little Breezes in the tree-tops. Now, not even Peter Rabbit has more curiosity than has a little Bear. Pres ently Boxer dropped down to all fours and approached , that footprint. Al i i . 1 : ?Mother;Bcar didn't make that foot print," whispered Boxer. ready he had learned that his ears are better than his eyes and his nose Is better than; his ears. His eyes had told him nothing. His ears had told him nothing. 1 Now he would try his nose. He sniffed at that footprint and the hair along his shoulders rose a little. His nose told him that that footprint was made by a Bear he never had seen. There wasn't any question about that. It told him that that stranger had passed that way only a short time before.. A great desire to see that stran ger took possession of Boxer. Curiosity was stronger than fear. "Let's follow his tracks ; perhaps we can see him," whispered Boxer to Woof Woof, and started along with hia nose to the ground. Now, whatever one twin did "the other did. So Woof-Woof followed her brother. One behind the other, their noses to the ground, the twins stole through the Green Forest.. Every once in a while Boxer sat up to look and listen. When he did this Woof-Woof did the same thing. It . was very ex citing." It -was so exciting that they quite forgot Mother Bear and "that they had been told not to go away. i So ' they got farther and farther away from where Mother Bear , was at work. And then, without any warning at all, a great Bear stepped out from be hind a fallen tree. He wore' a black coat and was just ; about the size of Mother Bear. Of course, you know Who it was it .Was Buster Bear. ' For the first time in their, short lives the twins saw their father and he saw them. But the twins did n't know that he was their father ahd he didn't know that they were his children. Things . like that happen in" the Green Forest. (Copyright. 1921. by T. W.
