In New Mexico, W F Skinner recalls a dramatic ranch tale. A refined young woman skilled with rifles repelled a cinnamon bear near a ranch ravine as her banker father tumbled to the gully below, risking serious injury.
In a perilous encounter a savage bear mauled a banker until a bystander drew her rifle and fired. The animal fell, sparing the prostrate man. The companion, pale yet triumphant, saved her father with precise marksmanship.
Bert, Tom, and baby learn through imitation that a child reflects the example adults set. Mamma explains God made baby, and children shape him by their actions, choosing gentleness over pushing and ridicule to foster a kinder temperament.

The piece ends with a casual appeal for cash subscriptions.
