THE CAMEL "CHEsTNUT."
Seventeen HumpbRcks stiI Travelling
Around the Desert of Sahara.
From ho Detroit Frfo Press.


From tho Detroit Free Press.
1t is quite a number of years since this
old camel story trotted along the sands of
time, so as the circus season is approach
ing it has been suggested that the Free
Press start the ancient animal on his
travels again. This is how it happened:
Abou Ben Eli McGufiin, being fun Of
years, died. leaving to his three sons his
seventeen camels, tor the simple reason
that he could not take the along with
him. The WILL duly attested, said the
eldest was to have One-half, the second
son One-third, and the youngest one
ninth of the seventeen camels.
The boys were little perpleXed at
this, as it seemed TO involve the cutting
up of camel aud camels were worth SO
a day on the Sahara that season. But the
BOYS, il not frst-class mathematlcians,
had level heads, and did not 80 to law TO
prove the old man insane, but went in
stead to the good old Cadi Hassan O'Don-
Ohue, who had taken medal in mathe-
mates at Ann Arbor.
Boys" said the good Cadi, reproach-
fully, ''you should not bother me with
these little matters. ASK me a harder
one"
But seeing they were troubled, the be-
nevolent old man asked the hostler TO trot
out his own dilapidated camel, which had
seen it's best days travelling with Barnum
IA the sacred gnu Of Persia.
Placing the aged brute with the seven
teen camels the boys had Drought along,
he said:
There are eighteen camels. l shall
now give you half of the eighteen,
which is nine. How does that strike
/ your"
sit hits me where live" said the eld-
4 est, who was slangy, but withal pleased
/ at getting half Of eighteen rather tnan
/ half Of seventeen.
THE next boy shall have one-third oil
/ eighteen, which is six. Are you there, No.
rlarityY
"You bet" said the boy.
"The next will have one-ninth Of eigh-
/ teen, which is two," and so the young
ster cOllared his two camels. Thus two
and six and nine made seventeen, snO
still was the good Cadi's aged animal len
unscathed. The people marveled AS the
Cadi had given each more than the vii
called for. which is rather unusual il
courts OF law. And they said one to an
7 other:
What's what it is to he good al
/ dgures.v
