The Teloogoos live IN Southern India, In the
Madras Presidency. They are not Of kin TO the
American Goo Coos. the Teloogoos are Oh Draw
dian stock Some uncertainty exists as 10 the
stock of the American Goo Coos But 1t Is undis-
puted that the Teloogoos are an excep'iona"' ''''
gentle and amable people. who never lose 'he''
tempers and who use hot words Ihe'r IAN
guaee e. noted for Its sweetness and softness and
a has been called the Italian of India. An omciai
census puts the total number Of Teloogoos az more
than fifteen millions. In no part OF the Teioogoo
country can racetrack be found. II racing had
been carried on among the Teoogoos lot seVefa
years their language would now lack much OF i's
softnes. and sweetness and rude phrases would
have crept In. Since the Teloogoos are celebrated
for their patience and meekness. wouldn't II De
good idea 10 send Martin Sims. Clayton. Doggett
and Hamilton the jockeys. and also Runicon' the
rnsnomer on a missionary expedition 10 the ie'oo
zoos 10 teach that dulcet and harmonious peopie
how TO lose their tempers? 1t is an ancient maxim
that few things priced as they should De uh'
they are lost. Perhaps the Teioogoos may "o'
vsIue their tempers at their true worth, because
they have never lost them. The aforesaid oe"s"-
ton of missionaries would soon teach the sweep!
smiling inhabitants of Southern India the value OF
their tempers. IL racetrack should be set up III
that part of the Orient. Americans are Dig
hearted and generous people. They would expert
ence many bitter pangs in parting from Maruh
and Sims and Hamilton and Clayton and Cap'Ne
and Flying Dutchman and Doggeu ana Deer
slayer and Rubicon. but Americans can De per-
suaded to sacrifice great deal for the CHRISTENING
Of the gentle Teloogoos. Christening Is generaiiy
admitted to be a beneficial process. and II mis-
sion delegation made up of the material mentioned
were sent to the Madras Presidency. the Teioo-
COOS could by means escape great oeai OF
Christening.
Some inquistive reader may ask why Rubicon Is
. misnomer The original Rubicon was river
which Julius Caesar crossed on his way 10 Rome
The river Ruhcon ran. Most rivers do run. But
the Chicago River never runs. 1t merely clots ana
coagulates. The horse RuDcon is Ike the Chicaeo
River and in the leas, like the river Rubicon'
The horse never runs. He merely clo,s and coagu-
iates Send him TO the meek and lowy Teloosoos
By-the-way. IL Julius Caesar had been oongeo 10
cross the Chicago River instead Of the RubicJn on
his way 10 Rome he never would have arrived IN
the Eternal City. The smells would nave driven
him hack.
