pains to enforce on the attention OF

as he does not consider this compati-
BILE with his dignity he is usually con-

Begging looks too much us if the insect,

notice, 1t is against the princi-
pies OF the beast to notice mere
men and wOmen-even such superior
beings as keepers, the dispensers OF
the staff OF life. When the keeper
comes along Caliph elevates his upper
lip until his mouth represents the I'M
ripe entrance to the Hudson river
tunnel at high tide. He seems to think
that if he only displays his tonsils
with sufficient fervor the supply of
loaves and fishes will be large enough
to satisfy even his protean appetite.

whole vacation and a. weeks added
recuperation for restfulness. So great
contrast is their utter stagna-
ton, perfect contentment to the swirl
and hurry and hustle of the life around
them that one feels refreshed and re-
vivified by simply watching them for
half an hour or so. Perhaps that is
why they were created. In this re-

The hippopotamus always did at
tract more than his fair share OF the
public attention, it seems to me. He
seems to get more than he works ior-
like some politicians, who shall be
nameless in this chapter on natural
history. You never see him out pur-
suing glory or consuming the midnight
oil in O vain endeavor to discover it.,
or sneaking up to the newspaper Of
fees by the back stairs in search of
puffs, or writing fulsome anonymous
notes about himself and sending them
to the editor. I do not think anyone
will accuse me of bearing false witness
against my neighbor when say that
our hippopotami are none OF them
beautiful when measured by the hui
man standard of beauty. Indeed,
sometimes think that one OF their
charms to homely people is that they
are SO much more homely than it is

DON'T BE IN \ HURRY TO LEAVE
HOME.

Young man, don't be in too great
hurry to leave the parental roof. If you
have a good home, and have duties you
can perform to help along your parents,
stay right there. Remember you Will
never in the world find another place
like home. You say you want to get
out and hustle for yourself, that you
are tired of simple home life-iti is monot-
onous to you-you want to see, learn
and experience the ways of the world.
1t is but natural for you to have these de
sires and impulses if you are a vigorous
and ambitious youth; but don't be in too
great hurry to jump into your own
canoe and paddle outinto the tempest
uous sea of life for yourself. THIS is an
awful and wicked world and you will
find many whirlpools, many storms and
many dark and starless nights as you
pull your frail craft along the trackless
sea of life before you.

good material, the first thing You know

The trouble seems to be in the idea
that is going over the state that the
negroes ought not to be put on the

tribution of the school money as the
whites, because the negroes do nor
pay near the taxes that the whites
pay.
Another idea is out Il is believed
that the negro is getting mere beneh
