PACE IB HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Fall. Ore goo Tuesday, December 24. 1963 Goldilocks and the Three Bears The story that conditioned children for the Teddy-bear they went atrollina; Into the wood while til porrldf was cooling;. And whila they were wilkina; a little jtrl called Goldilocks, who lived on the other aide of the wood, came by the Bean' house. She had wandered oft the nyht palh when aant on an errand by her mother and become loat. She wu not at all a well-brought up little girl, (or she peeped in at the keyhole; and, seeing nobody In the house, ihe went In. Well pleased she waa when ahe saw the porridge on the table. If ahe had been a good little girl ahe would have waited till the Beara cam home, and then, perhapa, they would have asked her to Small, Wee Bear, and tailed that; and that waa neither too hot nor too cold, but Just right; and ahe liked It ao well that ahe ale it all up. Then Goldilocka got up from the bench at the table and sat in the rocking-chair of the Great, Huge Bear, and that waa too ONCE upon a time there wers Three Bean, who lived to gether In a house of their own, in a wood. One of them waa a Utile, Small, Wee Bear; and one was a Middle-sized Bear; and the other was a Great, Huge Bear. They had each a bowl for their porridge: a little bowl for the Little, Small, Wee Bear; and a middle-sized bowl for the Middle Bear; and a great bowl for the Great, Huge Bear. And they had each a chair to ait In; a little chair for the Little, Small, Wee Beer; and a middle-sized chair for the Middle Bear; and a great chair for the Great, Huge Bear. And they each had a bed to sleep In: a little bed for the Little, Small, Wee Bear; and a middle-sized bed for the Middle Bear: and a great bed for the Great, Huge Bear. One day, after they had made the porridge for their breakfast THERE are many versions of thia beloved tale. It la found In old literature of dozena of peoples. No one can aay where or by whom It was originated. The version presented here Is, ex cept In one detail, the atory popularized by the Kngllsh poet, Robert Southey. Goldilocka waa not the name of the Intruder at the beara' home In Southey-a original. Who gave her that name also la a mystery. The delightful Illustrations accompanying It are by JAKE NIEBRUGGE. breakfast. But ahe waa a rude, greedy little girl, and aet about helping herself. So first she tasted the porridge of the Great, Huge Bear, and that waa too hot lor her. So then she tasted the porridge of the Middle Bear, and that waa too cold for her. And then- ah went to the porridge of the Little, hard for her. And then ahe aat down In the chair of the Middle Bear, and that was too aoft for her. And then ahe aat down in the chair of the Little, Small, Wee Bear, and that waa neither too hard nor too aoft, but Just right. So she seated heraelf in It, and there ahe sat till the bot tom of the chair broke through, so that ahe had to pull herself up this way and that way to get out of It. Then Goldilocka went upstairs into the bed-chamber in which the Three Bear slept. And, be ing tired from her long walk and her atruggle In the chair, she lay down upon the bed of the Great, Huge Bear. But that waa too piitrlbuUd by Xlag Features Syadlcat high at the head for her. Then she lay down on the bed of the Middle Bear. But that was too high at the foot for her. Then she lay down upon the bed of the Little. Small. Wee Bear, and that waa neither too high at the head nor at the foot, but Just .right. So ahe fell fast asleep. By thia time the Three Beara had come home. Now, Goldilocka had left the apoon of the Great, Huge Bear stand in his porridge. "SOMEBODY HAS BKEN AT .MY FORR1UUE!" aaid the Great, Huge Bear, in his loud, rough, gruff voice. And when the Mid dle Bear looked at his bowl he aaw that the spoon waa in it, too. "Somebody ha been at my porridge!" said the Middle Bear, in his middle voice. Then the Little, Small, Wee Bear looked at his, and there was the apoon in the porridge bowl, but the porridge waa all gone. "Samrbody has bfca el my por ridge, sad kit estea it all up'." aaid the Little, Small, Wee Bear. Upon thia th Three Beara began to look about them. Now, Goldilocka had not put the cushion straight when ahe rose irom. the rocking-chair of the Great, Huge Bear. "SOMEBODY HAS BEEN SIT TING J.V MY tilAIK!" said the Great, Huge Bear, in hia loud, rough, gruff voice. And Goldilocks had squatted down the soft cushion of the Mid dle Besr. "Somebody has bren kitting In my rhair!" said the Middle Besr, in his middle voice. And you know what Goldilocka had done to the third chair. "S.Bebady aaa bare titliec ia my aaalr. sad hat let the battam eat af It'." aaid the Little, Small, Wee Bear. Then the Three Bears knew they had to make further aearch; ao they went upstairs into their bed-chamber. Now. Goldilocks had pulled the pillow of the Great, Huge Bear out of ita place. "SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LYING IN MY BED1" said the Great, Huge Bear, in hia loud, rough, gruff voice. And Goldilocka had pulled the bolster of the Middle Bear out of ita place. "Somebody ha bren lying In my bed:" aaid the Middle Bear in hia middle voice. And when the Little, Small, Wee Bear came to look at hia bed there waa the pillow in ita place upon the bolster; and upon the pillow waa Goldilocka' head which waa not in ita place, for she had no business there. "Semebudy has beta l-lag ia my krd sad brre aha- lit" said the Little, Small, Wee Bear. Goldilocka had heard In her sleep the loud, rough, gruff voice of the Great, Huge Bear; but shi was ao fast asleep that it was no mora to her than the roaring of wind or the rumbling of thunt tier. And she had heard the mid dle voice of the Middle Bear, but it waa only aa if she had heard some one speaking in a dream. But when ahe heard the liille, small wee voice of the Little, Small, Wee Bear It waa so sharp and so shrill that it awakened her at once. Up she started; and when ahe aaw the Three Beara on one aide of the bed she tum bled herself out of the other end ran to the window. Out Goldi locks jumped: and whether ahe waa hurt In the fall, or ran into the wood and waa lost there, or found her way out of the wood and punished by her mother for forgetting her errand. I cannot tell. But the Three Beaia never saw anything more of her. Here's Tae Ye!

One of last photo of the poet of "A Child' Garden of Verses." He waa bora 1850. ANT year ago a little girl In Vex- - Chrtntmaa surprise from a faraway story-teller, Robert louls Stevenson. . The charmingly original gift waa Stevenson's birthday, November 13, which ha transferred by deed to Annie Ida In 1801 before he had ever een her. At that time the child's father, Henry C Ida, was stationed In American Samoa as Land Commissioner. He had become a friend of Stevenson, who had moved from Scotland to the Islands for hi health. One day, during; a conversation about ; Oie coming Christmas holidays, Id told vtJio author of "Treasure Island," "Kid "naped" ' and other famous tales that he ' had a daughter back home who was sad the previous Yuletlde because her birthday fell on Christmas, thus depriving her of the separate birthday party enjoyed by most children. Stevenson Immediately drew up what be called a deed of gift. The document was sent to Ida's wife In Vermont with a . letter of explanation from her husband. On December 35, 1801, little Annie slow. ;ly walked into the room In which the -trimmed pin tree had been placed. "Again, she was depressed over a "lost" ; t-lrthday party. Her mood changed to one : of Joy after ahe lifted a rolled manuscript - Irom a branch. It read In part: ';In consideration that Miss Annie H. " He, daughter of H.

Ida, to .have, to hold, exercise and enjoy the Same in her customary manner, by the portlmr of fine raiment, eating of rich Bleats and receipts of gifts, compliments and copies of verse, according to the man ner of our ancestors: "TV I. i Ml . i r. -, :w,.i- .'

Ide the name of Louisa at least In private and I charge her to use my said birthday with moderation and humanity, ef tanouom bona ilia famlliae, the said birthday not being as young as It once was, and having carried me In a very satisfactory manner . . ." (Louisa was a Stevenson family name.) Two years later, Annie and her mother Journeyed to the islands and ware met by Ids and Stevenson on November 12. The following: day the author took: her to a huge feaat which the natives were hold ing In his honor. Annie, who "owned" the author's birthday, sat at the end of the native dais and received many gifts. Down through the years Annie carried out the conditions of the birthday deed "by the a porting of fine raiment, eating of rich meats and receipt of gifts." Even niter she grew to womanhood and married the celebrated congressman and New York political leader, W. Bourke Cockran. When Mrs. Cockran decided she had en joyed more than her share of Stevenson's unique Christmas present ahe bequeathed the charming deed, to her niece, Anita Leslie, In England.
