"They think it Is funny," said Mother Fur Seul, "that I am able to recognize or know my own children, but I would think lt funny if I couldn't. "Of course every mother fur senl would think ns I did about this mat ter. "Tim reason that creatures think lt is funny that I know my own children, is because we mothers slay about on the same great beach and there ure thousands ol' mothers and children all about. "Rut I always would know my son," said Mother Fur Seal. "Our children are such dear, play ful, merry creatures. Kspeclnlly when they're very young, and even during the first four or five years of their lives there ls nothing they enjoy so much as swimming and playing, diving and playing tag and other gaines. "We're known as the Alaska Fur Seal family, and we live Interesting lives. "We're quite fashionable and In the winter we go to coast Unes further south than in the summer. "In the spring or very early In the summer we travel sometimes as much as two thousand miles. Gracious, wouldn't it he un expense If we had to pay for our Journeys the way peo ple do? "But then people wouldn't care for the way wo travel, through the great ocean, whether lt's stormy or calm, whether there is rain or sunshine above. "We go on and on, ftnd no matter how great the fog may be we never lose our way, but go swimming steadi ly on and on until we reach the Islands we're going to for our summer. "When we reach our summer home we begin to think about the seal babies who have arrived after we have been at the Island homes for awhile. "We stny out of the water for long periods of time, often to mnke sure no harm will come to our babies. And we go back and forth for our runrket "Out of the Water.' lng, for we must feed our children well and give them good food so they wll! ba strong and so they will feel Uko playing. "How we do enjoy squids I Squids nre most delicious. Yes, squids are every hit as good as ice cream nnd such things which children like. "Our great enemy ls the old whale known as the Kiiier Whale. From his family name you cnn understand that he ls a cruel creature. That would he quite clenr to any one. "Our cousins, the sen-lions are very much like we are In ways and habits and looks. "They too travel In the spring and In the fall, living one place in the summer and nnother In the winter. "The Mr. Son-Lions are noisy crea tures, ronrlng and talking nt the top of their voices, always. They're very big of course, and I suppose like to make their voices seem equal to their size. "They are all wilder and braver than wo are, but they're a clever lot. I do not mind admitting lt, because, of course, they're relatives of ours. Sometimos they are known as the Steiler Sea-Lion family. "But what I cannot understand ls that people think lt ls strunge that we cnn always tell our own young when there are such countless and countless children seals on the bench. "I would like to ask such people this question, especially I would like to ask any question of mothers. "Would you not bo allic to recognise your own children even if there woro thousands of children about? "Wouldn't you be able to pick out your own children in a great big school where there were several thou sand children about? "Wouldn't you be able to tell your own children If they were marching in a hugo parade with many, many, many other children? "Wouldn't you be able to tell your children on the beach when the chil dren were Hocking to the beach In hundreds? "Of course you would! i'm quite sure you would I And so can the Mother Seal tell which are her own children. For she knows ber own ns any motlier would.
