I really can't understand.
Were they like my little Teddy Bear
'At Santa Claut brough one night,
Or real, live ones like stays in the
woods
An' grow up big, an' fight?
(Editor's Note—Probably the most
famous bears In the United States are
living in Denver, Colorado. The true
story of their lives is below set forth,
the author being Lee Haney, who ac-
companied the three little bruins on
their 7,000 miles' Journey, covering a
period of nine weeks, during which
they delighted the hearts of over 3,000,-
000 children and caused as many
grown people to laugh at their funny
antics.)
Early in the spring of 1907 a hunt-
ing party headed by Jake Borah, the
famous Colorado guide, set out Into
funny antics, and the children of the
city simply went wild over them. See-
ing that the 'Teddies" attracted such
wide attention In their own native
state, the management of the road
decided to send them on a tour of the
country, exhibiting them In the larger
cities.
So late in the month of May the
babies, each weighlug about nine
pounds, started East. Their only stop
between Denver and New York wsb at
Washington. D. C., where they romped
on the White House lawn to the edi-
fication of the Roosevelt family. The&
they Journeyed on to New York City,
and for nine days occupied the big
one-story glass "cow-catcher" of the
Flatiron building. Fifth avenue and
Twenty-third street. Their next stand
was in the big show window of John
Wannamaker's store in Philadelphia
From tho city of Quakers they went to
Pittsburg, where they spent a week in
the Joseph Home store window at
Fifth and Penu streets. Then to Chi-
cago, where they were entertained by
the Press Club, which gave a recep-
Tired nerves, with that "no ambi
tion" feeling that is commonly felt
in spring or early summer, can be
easily and quickly altered by taking
what is known to druggists every-
where as Dr. Shoop's Restorative.
One will absolutely note a changed
feeling within 48 hours after begin-
ning to take the Restorative. The
bowels get sluggish in the winter-
time, the circulation often slows up,
the kidneys are Inactive, and even the
Heart in many cases grows decidedly
weaker. Dr. Shoop's Restorative is
recognized everywhere as a genuine
tonic to those vital oragns. It builds
up and strengthens the worn-out
weakened nerves; it sharpens the fall-
ing appetite, and universally aids di-
gestion. It always quickly brings re-
newed strength, life, vigor and ambi-
tion. Try it and be convinced. Sold

the hills north of Glenwood Springs,
bent on a bear hunt. With their pack
of hounds trained to the game, their
hunt was a successful one. Returning
to the camp one evening, they heard
the hounds barking in a manner indi-
cating that something was at bay, or
"treed." Hastening to the spot, the
hunters saw what they at first be-
lieved to three baby kittens high up
in the branches of a spreading quaking
asp tree. Closer inspection, however,
revealed the fact that the animals were
three baby bears, so small that the
hunters marveled at their ability to
climb a tree. The little fellows were
clung to the
branches for dear life. Carefully the
hunters prepared sacks and ropes and
soon the trio of bruins were being car-
ried to Glenwood Springs, where they
were treated to a sumptuous dinner of
warm milk. In a remarkably short
time, seeing that their captors meant
no harm to them, the little fellows "be-
came as tame as kittens.
C. H. Speers, general passenger agent
of the Colorado Midland railway, along
the line of which Glenwood Springs
is located, heard of the cubs and sent a
man post haste to buy them. The own-
were willing to part with them for a
tion in their honor one afternoon, in-
viting 1,500 children. They also spent
an afternoon at exclusive Kenllworth,
a Chicago suburb. In St. IxjuIs, their
next Jump, they disported themselves
In a window of Barr's big store at
Sixth aud Olive streets, and during the
week were ' at home" one afternoon to
children at Forest Park. From St.
Louis they went to Kansas City, were
exhibited down town for a week and
one afternon entertained a convention
of railroad pasenger agents at Fair-
mount Park. Omaha was the next
place visited and the children who saw
them at Bennett's store and Krug
Park will never forget them. They
returned to their Denver home from
•Omaha, and are now living In a little
house of their own at beautiful Elltch'e
Gardens, a suburban amusement re-
sort.
The bears were christened "Teddy
B.", "Teddy G." and "Teddy She."
Teddies' "G" and "She" are of the Cin-
namon variety, while "Teddy B" Is a
black grizzley. They have grown to be
about the size of collie dogs, but are
as tame aud playful as ever. Often
they are allowed the freedom of the
