The Terrapin Knew Him.


When the late Major Moses P. Handy
lived in Washington, he was frequently
attending dinners at Chamberlin' At
every dinner at all out Of the ordinary
it was Chamberlin's habit to pass
around the table alive the terrapin that
cit was assumed) the guests were to eat
later.
One night, as Major Handy told the
story, when the live terrapin were
brought in, as usual, he noticed, as he
thought, one of the terrapins wagging
his head at him. At the next banquet
the same thing happened again. and at
the next one of the terrapin detached
himself from the rest and, crawling
across the table to the major plate,
rose on. his hind legs, and, sting his
fore legs against convenient tumbler,
he bowed three times, solemnly but
5courteously, to the astonished and awe
struck guest. 6.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that the terrapin had seen the major so
frequently at Chamb Rims festal board
that he recognized him as an old friend
and politely addressed him as such. Mr..
Chamberlin is said to have resented this
story as rel cotton on the freshness Of
his terrapin: Kansas City Journal.

with the news of the discovery Of Lake

But as these French explorers con-
