The piZZicato made her puff her entire
body, swift waltz music caused her to
erect her ugly hood to It's fullest size,
md a sudden dissonance made her
wind and twist her body as If she were
in real agony.
The polar bear tried to dance to the
sounds of the instrument At least he
swayed his body rhythmIcally and
made rumDlng sound which portray
cd deep measure. The grizzlies and
the lions moved their paws and the
lions their tails also In time with the

just rs the player had begun to per-
, form before the cage Of a hyenn. That
poor animal at once hunched it's back
! up, drew its tail between its legs and
, crouched, trembling, in the farthest
corner Of the cage. The elephant and
the ostrich were delighted by soft tones
and appeared to suffer true distress

1t is, however. abSurdly small when

The Voice In High Attitudes.

4, Generally speaking. races living at
high attitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those living
In regions where the supply Of oxygen
Is more plentiful. Thus, in this coun-

IF the real inside workings of the

said n telegraph operator who has had
much experience in such establish

eyes of the young donkcy; who inag-
inc they can beat the game. Just to
illustrate the point I'll tell YOU a little
story.
Some time ago there were two rival
bucket shops in Il certain southern
city, supposed to be run by northern
operators. Business was Il little slow,
and it was evident that the Spccula-
tive element was inclined TO be SuSpi-
ciouS CT both establishments. one

away
"The young idiot supposed, of course,
that he had struck honanza-onc
bucket shop man playing against an
other! 1t must be Il sure thing! So he
not only placed the $50 as requested,
but played the tip hard himself. and so
did all his friends, whom he promptly
let into the secret. Needless TO say,
they were all eventually skinned out of
every cent they put in, but the remark.
able part Of the story is that the same
tactics were worked hack and forth
by both managers on at least Il dozen
different occasions. Each time it was
done they gathered in Il lot of new
clients and made big haul. 1t o..
veloped not long aftCrward that the
two bucket shops were run by tho
same people."-New Orleans Times.
