Our camp is as comfortable as possible, and we have great camp fires at night. One of the bear-hunting lanters with me told me that once he saw a bear, when overtaken by the ounds, lie down flat on its back with all its legs stretched out, while the dogs barked furiously all around it. Suddenly the bear sat up with a ag and frightened all the dogs so that they nearly turned back somersaults. At this camp there is a nice tame pussy-cat which lives out here all the time, catching birds, mice or lizards; but very friendly with any party of hunters which hap- yens along. , “Pp, S.—I have just killed a bear; I have written Kermit about it.” OOSEVELT was a “regular” dad. He was always his youngsters’ playmate. He once said to a friend: “When Ethel had her birthday the one entertainment for which she stipulated was that I should take part in a romp in the old barn. Of course I had not the heart to refuse; but really, it seems, to put it mildly, rather odd for a stout, elderly president to be bouncing over the hay- ricks in a wild effort to get to the goal before an active midget of a com- petitor, aged 9 years. However, it was really great fun.” OHH —Bstei ies Every Day A New Installment Don’t Miss It — An Inspiration to Every Parent and Every Child And He Had Some Family of Kids to Write To THE LETTERS GRIP. They tell of the little, inti- mate, personal happenings in the home life of an Ameri- can. THEY GIVE US A NEW SIDE OF ROOSEVELT, the side that shows him as the HUSBAND of a woman he adored. The FATHER of a rollicking family of chil- dren that he loved with all the devotion of the great nature that was his. The first letter is dated ’98, which was before Quentin, who was killed in France, was born; the last is addressed to “Archie,” but tells about “Quin grown up.” COVER- ING A PERIOD OF TWENTY YEARS these letters are full of tenderness, romping fun, bits about books, sport study; simple but pointed discussions of politics and tA public affairs, fatherly counsel and sound principles of lik right living. : one-tailed 35 ed IF YOU ARE NOT A REGULAR SUBSCRIBER 1 j Phone Main 600, The Star) {§ Order Your Paper by Telephone, Telegraph, Mail, or Thru Carrier.
