| our lives" They even got little fiSh
to swim under Little Monkey and bite
his toes. Little Monkey pretended
not to be angry. All the time, though,
he was veXed, and he made up his
mind that he would pay Tiger and
Zebra for the mean way in which
they were treating him. He was all
tired out, but he kept swimming, for
he saw that something was happening
which would give him a fine revenge.
Tiger he said, IF you would keep
your mouth from being open SO much,
and Zebra, if you would not splash
with your feet, YOU both would be-
come very fine swimmers. Don't
bother to take off your bathing suits.
Just sit in the sun, and when | teach
Antelope how to dive I'll give you
another lesson"
So Tiger and Zebra sat in the sun
and told the other animals about the
great fun which they had had with
Little Monkey.
Then they found somebody else TO
make fun for them. Leopard, who was
all spotted. came down to the beach.
''Ho. no." laughed Tiger, did you
| ever see an animal in a polka dot
sl<in?"
"He, he; isn't he gaily dressed?"
neighed the Zebra, as he grinned and
| looked around at the other animal.
ut is not every ANIMAL" answered
| the Leopard, as he came out dressed
up in his white bathing suit, who has
the good fortune to be born with a
beautiful white skin. Many is the

polka dots fer a plain checked suit,

may be funny, but | never looked so
queer as do two very mean animals

Then Zebra and Tiger became
angry. They got up and took off their
bathing suits and threw them at
Tailor Bird. Then all the BIRDS and
the animals laughed SO hard that they
had to put their hands to their. sides.
Hyena laughed until he rolfed over
and over on the beach.
''Hyena," roared Tiger, ''yoll, are al
ways laughing at nothing. What is
the matter with you?'
Hyena pointed with his paws Tiger
and Zebra looked at themselves and
found that their skins were all
striped. The color had come out OF
the new bathing suits and the sun
had dried it into their hair. Ever
since that day the beasts in the Jungle
have always said Striped Tiger and
Striped Zebra. and it was not until
the Spotted Leopard told me this story

ters, and the surface drains which line
the curbs are kept cleaned out and free.
Nevertheless, European residents agree
that the nearness of frost is thing to
be thankful for. Huge stacks of rotting
rice and tons of burned and decomposing
sugar fill the region of the river front with
an unhealthy and terrible stencil while
the ruins of the Chinese city are almost
impossible because of vile doors in the
heat of the day. A Chinese provisional
government has been established over the
native city, administered by Americans
and Europeans. A police force, native
and foreign, is in working order. and sys-
TEN is being gradually evolved out of the
cha os. The foreign city is efficiently po-
Iced by troops, and perfect order is main
tanned. At every corner is sentry,
while guards and patrols are constantly
afoot night and day. The foreign resi-
dents are gradually returning to find their
homes either destroyed or occupied by
the allied forces. and it is expected that
an attempt soon will be made to fix COM
pensation for occupation and use of such
property. The residents accept the situa-
ton philosophically and there is appar
emily no conflict with the military author
tiles.
That it will be many months before the
rehabilitation of Tien Tsin is begun is
certainty. That it will ever be restored

Little Monkey lost his tail, and the
other monkeys made so much fun of
him that he could not live with them
any more. He went away by himself
and fed on berries. He was sitting
on the bank of the river one day when
the earth gave way, and he fell into
the water. He swami again, and as
he did he had an idea.
I'll start swimming school" said
he. "I'll teach all the other animals
to swim SO that their lives will be
saved If they fall into the water"
So Little Monkey built houses on the
shore of the river and put up a sign

A RACE OF CHAMPIONS
FASTEST WOMEN RIDERS IN THE
WORLD TO RIDE HERE.
Watkins & Ruschaupt to Promote nm
International Contest-Will Ride
Under the Point System.

The international twelve hours bicycle
championship for women riders will be de-
cided on a nineteen-lap track in Tomlinson
Hall next week. This track will be con-
structed the latter part of this week and
will be completed by next Monday, so that
riders can have one days practice ON tina
track before the start of the race. On
Christmas afternoon at 2:S0 Paul Krauss,
jr., who has been selected the official
referee. will fire revolver for the riders
to begin their first two hours ride. They
will ride two hours Christmas night and
two hours each evening throughout the
week. making twelve hours in all.
Watkins and Ruschaupt, the promoters
of the race, have secured the five fastest
riders in the world TO participate in this
indoor event They are Lizzie Claw, the
worlds champion; Title Anderson, Amer
lean champion: Mile Lisette, French
champion; NIollie La Tour, Western cham
pion, and Edna La Tour sister of Mollie
La Tour. AS there will be sisters in the
race suitable rules will be made to pre-
vent any team work whatever. The man
ayers Will also place a limit of twenty
one miles an hour on the riders, which will
insure q rapid pace all during the race
Under the point system of scoring, which
has been adopted, the first rider to cross
the tape at the conclusion of the two hours
each night will be scored five points, sec
ond four points and the rest according
TO the place they finish. This will mean
a desperate struggle for the finish each
night.
With the representative riders of two
continents and the most eligible candi-
dates for the championship the event will
sc called race of champions. The five
riders represent four different countries,
and the rivalry existing among them is
said TO be greater than among the middle
distance men riders.
In selecting the fifth rider Watkins &
Ruschaupt' had a large number OF entries
to investigate, and they decided that Edna
La Tour had the best record and it is
believed she is the fastest rider of any who
had not already been entered. The In
dianapolis Military Band has been en-
gagged to give concerts Christmas after
noon and each evening during the race.
