Humbugs are by no means confined
to the human species: they figure
among the lower animals az well. AT
least, one who has studied closely their
habits says 80. In military stables
horses are known to have pretended
to be lame In order to avoid going 70 q
military exercise. A chlmpanzee had
been fed on cake when sick; after hia
recovery he often felgned coughing In
order TO procure daintles. Animals are
conscious OF their deceit, as Is shown
by the fact that they try TO act sec
reilly and noiselessly: they show a
sense OF guilt II detected; they take
precautions IN advance TO avoid dis
covery; In some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after their exploits. as II they feared
punishment. But at all this kind Of
thing man leaves his fellow animals
