"We love the quietness of the woods, the stillness and the peace of our own society. We like to eat berries, bat we don't want to do our berry picking along with a whole lot of other creatures." "That's so," said Mrs. Blackie. "But there are places we will do our mar keting where other creatures wouldn't care to trade! "We eat yellow-Jackets and wasps and bugs, and we go to yellow Jack ets' nests and have a fine old time get ting goodies. Other creatures would be stung and miss the goodies!

And they have to be told that they must so hide themselves that no one will, wake them up In the winter time because no one will have found them. "I've looked after them since they were little brown things. Now their coats are fine and black. "I've shown them, too, how we leave messages and directions and rales for each other on trees, making all sorts of signs on the trees which a bear can understand. "Yes, we must all do things In the Black Bear fashion, for our fashions have been tried out by black bears for years and years, and they've been found to be very good. "Creatures who change their fash Ions and their ways from year to year, waste a great deal of time, so we black bears think. ' For when they could be marketing and getting good things to eat they are thinking of what they shall wear this spring or this summer, or this fall. "And they don't have so much time for sleeping. They can never give up a whole winter to resting as we can. They haveu't the time, poor dears. "Ah. the ways of the black bears are best. They are the ways which tiave been tried out and found to be good. At any rat they've been found that way by all black bears."
