Somehow. somewhere you'll find a way. —Cubby the Bear. Farmer Brown, Mother Brown and Farmer Brown’s Boy ate their break- fast and while they were eating it dis- cussed plans for catching Cubby, the mischievous little Bear, who was up on top of the house. You will remem- ber that Farmer Brown's Boy had 4T WAS UP IN THAT TREE THAT CUBBY ALWAYS CLIMBED WHEN HE HAD BEEN IN TROU- BLE. 1 placed a ladder for Cubby to come down and had tempted bhim with «cookies. But Cubby had refused to come down, That ladder was so placed that as Farmer Brown’s Boy sat at the breakfast table he could keep an eye on the ladder. He had left the cookies a little way out from the ladder. It would be impossible for Cubby to come down that ladder and not be seen. After breakfast Farmer Brown's Boy went out. He looked toward the place where he had left the cookies. The cookies were not there. He rubbed his eyes twice tp make sure. Now, from where he bad sat at the table he could watch the ladder, but he couldn’t see the cookies. He hadn’t thought it necessary to watch the cookies as well as the ladder. Now that the cookies were gone he didn’t know what to make of it. “It must be that a stray dog has come into the yard and eaten those cookies,” said Farmer Brown's Boy as he walked over to the empty "dish. Close to that dish he found a little soot. You should have seen his eyes open then. He turned and looked up 2t the roof. Nowhere could he see anything of Cubby. Perhaps he was behind the chimney. Farmer Brown’s Boy ran around to look on the other side of the chimney. There was no Cubby. “He couldn’t have come down that ladder and, not be seen,” muttered J¥armer Brown's Boy. “He just couldn’t have. Yet he isn’t on the roof and those cookies are gone. That little Bear does the most impossible things. How under the sun did he get off that roof and get those cookies? is he now?” question was answered ppening to glance over to favorite tree, he discovered & little black ball up near the top.

Advantages. 1ach method has its advantages. reat one in favor of the play yard is that it can be moved about from place cither indoors or out. In this way a child can often be in the same place as its mother and so feel happy because of her nearness. And there is no doubt that the pl d is the thing for very little folk. A baby who can just creep about may get into all of mischief going (hout from room to room unhampered, but if confined within the fenced-in space and supplied with playthings | he will probably keep himself enter- | tained for a long time.

And what | better than the safety-zone method? The matters of importance for the child are that he is fortunately placed with pleasant surroundings and with enough toys or playthings of one sort or another to keep him satisfactorily cccupied. . For the mother the essentlal thing is that she has a free mind for quick performance of her duties. The com- bination for mother and child works wisely and well when properly carried out. Each person has a sufficlent de- gree of liberty and each should be contented for periods of not too long duration. It is a mistake to keep a child teo long in a play yard or on a leash, 80 a mother should so arrange her work that there can be delightful interims between whiles, A BY THORNTON W. BURGESS He knew it was Cubby. It was up in that tree that Cubby always climbed when he had been in trouble or when he wanted to get away from folks, and there he was now. Just then Farmer Brown came to the door. *‘Well, son,” said he, “have you decided how you are going to get that Bear down?” Farmer Brown’'s Boy grinned rather sheepishly. “Look up in that tree,” said he. Farmer Brown looked up, and such a funny look as there was on his face. “How did he get down from that roof without being caught?” he demanded. “That’s what I haven’'t found out yet,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “When I came out here those cookles were gone, but there is some soot over near where they were. So I knew who had taken the cookies. But how he got off the roof I don’t know.” Together Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown's Boy started around the house. At one corner was a wooden drain pipe leading down from an eaves trough. When they reached this Farmer Brown’s Boy discovered some smudges of soot and some claw marks on this wooden drain pipe. He knew right away that Cubby had shinned down that drain pipe. Then he had stolen around the house to the cookies with- out being seen. (Copyrizht. 1927.) THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Thursday, September 22. Astrologers read tomorrow as a par- ticularly unfavorable day in planetary direction and warn that it is well to avoid all financial negotiations. Again farmers will have cause for complaint, it is foretold, but profit is prognosticated for them, and they who are close to the land will benefit eventually. It is especially dangerous to quarrel at this time, when both men and wom- en are likely to be nerve-wracked. The rule is most menacing to domes- tic happiness. In Europe a public man is to be be- trayed and assassinated, it is prophe- sied, and the crime will have far-reach- ing consequences. Mars is still in an aspect supposed to be reasonable for increase of cases of fever and diphtheria. Cholera is to ravage a foreign na- tion and to cause great alarm in the United States next Summer, if the stars are rightly read. Newspapers are still subject to a sway that encourages the press to re- veal conspiracles and to uncover po- litical plots. Wonien are to play a prominent part in public affairs and to gain domi- nation which promises reforms, it is forecast. Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of a coming year that is not important. They should be es- pecially careful to avoid litigation. Children born on that day may be inclined to rule when they have no gift for executive matters. They should be trained to be humble and unselfish. (Copyright, 1927.)
