HOW ANIMALS MADE A DRUM.
An African Legend and the Runaway Dog
and Cat

Far away over in Africa in the woods and -wiids
and jungles, where they have no books, they make
I'D their own stories and tell them to another
These stories have been handed down for years
from mother daughter and from father to SON.
No one remembers who first told them where
they came from. and they called legends. Here
is one of them that straight from the dark
skinned people in the African forests:
Once upon time, the story all the different
kinds of animals decided they wanted to have
dance. They had watched the little colored chill
dren dancing il: the and the grown-up people
dancing in the moonlight. and tkey did not want to
be left in the cold, for, strange to say, neither
the children their grown-up relations wanted
the bears and tigers. snakes and apes as partners
in their merrymaking. So the whole forest full of
animals came together day to talk the matter
Now as usual thing. lion would pounce upon
a wildcat or a ra bbit. and a leopard would not

ahead of the humans they agreed not to eat
each other up least until the plans for the dance
were completed
The lion chosen as chairman Of the meeting
because his roar could be heard above all the chat
tering and growing. mewing and squealing that
would probably take place.
When they were all assembled. from the tall
giraffe the eat, and even the tiny rat, the first
question that came up was. How shall we set
drum" They all knew, of course that the drums
the humans used made of wood, with ami
NAL skin stretched It, and they knew they
couldn't have a really, truly human dance unless
they had really. truly human drum. But nobody
seemed like idea of giving up his skin for
somebody else beat time and there shortly
arose a great discussion and uproar. At last
one suggested, some say it the rhinoceros,
whose skin is in many wrinkles. and some the
snake who has change his so often, anyhow, but.
at all events some suggested that
was willing furnish dead skin, all should con-
tribute bit of live skin from places where it could
best be spared and that this should be pieced to-
eether to form the head Of the drum
The idea was voted good one, and they began

privileges and possessions The girls and boys have
appropriated in very slightly modified form some
times their parents fashions and pleasures, luNu-

were girls and boys they were glad enough, many
of them, to have books to read. The child of to-
day has his special library in which the BOOKS
like those in the big library must be marked with
