. "Jta a big honor, ain't It?' Mai asked.
"Everybody can't visit there."
" "Maybe everybody wouldn't want to.
T. Taer answered. "I got a hunch It'd
be a hard job." ;
"But," Ma instated. "Ralph et lunch
with the premident 'nd smoked cigarettes
with him afterwards."
"Well." T. Taer said, "he had to eat
nome place, didn't he? I gueas the White
: House's got as good a cook as any
restaurant in Washington."
"That may be," Ma said, "but people
don't go to the White House Just be
catwo they're hungry."
"I'll bet If you'd ask the president, T.
raer answered, "he'd tell you they was
blamed few people came there that
wasn't hungry." . ! .
'Why, the idea!" Ma exclaimed.
"Times ain't that hard back in Wash
lnirtnn, are they?"
"They're pretty hard," T. Paer grinned.
"Tltey's about a thousand fellahs hangin'
around waitin for every job." .
- "You'r talking: about Jobs nd I
ain't," Ma objected, "italph ain't hunt
in" a job, is he?" .
"Not for himself." T. Paer said, "but
he wants some for some friends of his."
"Well, that's all right,. Ma said, "but
all the same It seems to me Ralph's
getting awful chummy with the presi
dent." I'
"You can't tell how chummy a couple
of fellah's are just because they eat
lunch together." T. .Paer argued. "Maybe
-the president had to see Ralph anyway
" nd asked him to come up at noon so's
to save time." ,
"But supposin'," Ma contended, "after
Junch was over Ralph "nd the president
had gone to the circus together."
"Well," T. Paer conceded, "that'd look
more Uke they was friends."
"But." Ma said doubtfully, "I can't
see what two men, nd one' of 'em a
president, would want to go to a circus
for."
"Maybe," I'T. ' Paer chackled "they
wanted to feed the elephant."
"What difference does It make to them
how tbey feed an .elephant?" Ma asked.
"They Ain't tn the circua business."
"Ain't they?" T. Paer said. "Hard
ing's got the biggest circus to run in the
world 'nd he's got a ferocious menagerie
on his hands, too. ;
"I didn't know that," Ma responded.
It's so," T, Paer insisted. " Nd he's
been havin' a lot of trouble with, the
elephant." ? '
"Has he?" Ma said, "What's the mat
ter with itr ,
"It's hungry." T. Paer told her, "nd
keeps" trumpetln' for peanuts all the
time "nd threatenln' to kick over the
ha rfnn' t Vm."
"Why deml the president give-it some
nd keep It flu let?"; Ma asked. "Ele
phants are horrid when they get mad."
"Every time he reaches for any T.
Paer answered, "some donkey brays 'nd
kicks nd they ain't been enough to go
round yet." !
"Well," Ma said, "If I was him 'nd the
elephant wouldn't behave I'd take one
of them hooks they drive 'em with "nd
hook them on the ear till he was good"
"They's too many trainers," T. pater
remonstrated, " 'nd every i one of 'era
hoilerin' for more peanuts for the ele
phant." i
"Why don't the president fire the
trainers 'nd get new ones?" Ma asked.
"If I was running a circus I'd make the
hands do what I wanted or I'd pay 'cm
off."
"Not these trainers you wouldn't," T.
Paer told her. "They've fed the elephant
so many peanuts it'd take a wallop at
Harding the first: chance it got If lhe
bothered 'em too much."
"But."4 Ma argued, 'I can't See how
you can run a circus when the trainers
nd the roustabouts keep teliin" the
boss how to do everything even to feed
ing the elephant" i
"Well," T. Paer" answered, "its. hard
on the circus and." he concluded, "it
may be hard on the elephant ; they's no
teliin' yet." . ' : i :

Mrs. .Bear.
TTTHAT could be making that sharp
V whirring, which, as it grew louder
and uglier sounding, became almost a
rattle, the twin Bears couldn't imagine.
It certainly couldn't be anything ; very
big. for that noise seemed to come from
a place where ho one or nothing very big
could "be hidden. There were no big
Tocks where that sound seemed to come
from. There were many small ones, but
none big enough for the twins to even
think of hiding behind them. So they
were sure that the cause of that queer
'. noise must be too small- to be feared.
Whenever they stood perfectly still for
a moment or two the noise would cease,
but Just as soon as they moved it would
start again. It was Boxer who finally
found where, what and who -that noise
was coming from. On a little flat shelf
of. rock he discovered the most curious
looking person he had yet net i He
knew it was a person because it had a
head with eyes that never blinked and a
mouth out of which darted a queer
looking tongue. The stranger had what
seemed like a long neck, which appeared
to rise from the edge of a flat, circular
body, in the very center Of which some
thing was standing straight up : and
making that strange noise.
' Of course, you have guessed who it
was Boxer had found. It was Buzz
tail the Rattlesnake, and Buixtall . was
coiled ready to strike any. one who
rhould come within reach. Now, the
only members of the Snake family Boxer
ni Woof-Woof ever had seen were lit
tle Mr. Cartersnake and Mr, Blacksnake.
.Both had run away from Mother Bear.
Never had they seen a snake coiled, and
so it Is not surprising that they didn't
recosrnlze this stranger as a member of
the Snake family.- but thought that he
had.-a flat, circular body, and wondered
how he moved about. . !
. Buzz. buzz, buzz, buzz, buzzzzz, went
that funny thing In the middle. .Back
and forth swayed that head with the un
blinking eyes. Out and in and out
ajraH n da rted that queer tongue, t The
twins stared. They were so Interested
they sat perfectly still staring at Buzz
tail, They didn't move at all. Presently
that buzzing stopped. The twins waited.
Flmvly Buzztail began to uncoil. The
ryes of the tlns fairly popped out of

their heads. This fellow was changing
the shape, of his body right under their
very noses ! Presently he had fully un
coiled and started to crawl away. Then
the twins knew him for what he was a
Snake. ' j -
Now, when they had seen little Mr,
Gartersnake and Mr. Blacksnake they
had noticed that Mother Bear had made
a motion as if she would have tried to
catch them if they hadnt moved so fast.
This snake was moving slowly. There
would be ho trouble catching, him. Per
haps he would be good eating. Both
started forward.
But the instant they did this Buzztail
coiled again, and he did it almost like
a flash. Then that buzzer on the end
of his tail sounded louder and more ugly
than ever., It was so unexpected that
both little Bears jumped back, which it
happens was a very good thing for them.
"Did you ever see anything like that?"
crief Woof-Woof . i
"Let's make him do it again !" cried
Boxer. - '
, "He looks ugly," said Woof-Woof. -
"He certainly has a bad temper," re
plied Boxer. 1 1
Then the twins began to dance around
Buzztail, very much excited and not
knowing just how to. treat this queer
lellow.
