Teddy-B couldn't make the camel turn and at every round he had time to burn.	This stairway climbs itself, you know; you just step on and up you go.	A speech was made by Teddy-B, who told the boys and girls that he Believed in fun and honest strife. $50
"I'll sell your stuff," said Teddy-B; "Let me get up in the cart and see."	And piled in the straw and oats and hay, when his coat got caught in the wheels some way.	The class in geography was brought forth and asked the distance from South to North.
To show the bunch of athletes there what bears could do on a racing track; and a trick or two.	Teddy-B took a turn at the wheel awhile, and steered the ship for half a mile.	He took the paw of the Russian bear and asked how things were over there.
They danced a two-step and sang as well, and heard Uncle Josh his stories tell.	"The same for me," said Teddy-G; "Get a man to help get two or three."	Teddy-G came down the road that day at such a speed, the farmers say, that time was turned the other way.
The first to speak was Teddy-G: "The earth has dropped somewhere," said he.	They tried their best to turn about, but the wind was high and it drove them out.	And given a cell and locked up tight and told to stay there for the night.
"We're the Roosevelt Bears," said Teddy-B; "A Boston storm blew us out to sea."	The boys were there, the happiest bunch that ever ate a basket lunch.	About three o'clock in the afternoon they stopped to talk to a big raccoon.
