BllTTLE OF BANDAR LOG.
Fierce Fight in Land Of Rattle Bars
at Garden.

For fifteen years Jennie and Chang have led the
Bandar Los people or the Barnum and Bailey show
ruled supreme 10y right Of their knowledge Of the
Law Of the Cage. which. everybody knows. is
and must needs be FAR different from the Law OF
The Jungle. Eyon as the Law OF the Jungle pre-
scrbes certain rules for the Kill the Pack the
CUTLER and the Cub SO the Cage Law prescrihes
certain customs as TO Perch. Swing and Corner.
l. THIS were not so. the strong Bandar Log would
be the front Of the cages II the time and get all
the peanuts which the Cubs Of the Man Pack
throw at them. But. saith the Cage Law:
when it comes time for the Cubs OF the Man
Pack 20 pass by. so many BaEdar Log shall
occupy she front Of the cage shall cling thereto
until they receive peanut or other prOvender. and
thereupCa shall step hack. allowing others 10 come
forward And this shall continue until all Baudar
Log. old and young. weak and strong, have re-
ceiyed that which the Man Pack gives"
Thus It can be seen that the cage Law IS good
law II provides Tor many other things, such IS
punishment Tor those Bandar Log who accept and
chew tobacco from the Man Pack. and those who
pm the tails Of the old and decreplt Of the Tribe
but 10 tell all about 1t would make a long, long
story. and would have nothing whatever to do with
what is about 10 be related concerning Jennie an5
Chang.
