seemed 10 say: go, saw it first, and
it's mine."
The hyena set up a laugh like
man who is not ticllled, but feels that
ii is up to him to laugh at funny
story that he can't see the point or
at a banquet where Chauncey DepeW
tells one of his crippled jokes, and
pa was getting nervous. A big grizzly
bear was walking delegate in his cage
and he looked at pa as much as 10
say: "Hello, Teddy, | was not al
home when you called in Colorado
but YOU get in this cage, and 1 VIII
make you think the Spanish war was
a Sunday school picnic beside what
YOU will get from your uncle
Ephraim" and a bob cat jumped up
into the top of his cage and snarled
and showed his teeth and seemed to
say: Bring ON your whole pack OF
dogs and | will eat them alive.
Pa. threw cut his chest in front OF
a monkey cage. and monkey snatch
ed his watch, and then all the ANIMALS
began to laugh at pa just like a lot
of bad boys in school when visitors
make a call. Pa went around to VISIT
all the animals, officially, Whlle | got
interested in a female kangaroo, with
couple Of babies. not more IMAM
three weeks Old and i noticed the
mother kangaroo made the old man
kangaroo her husband, stand around,
and he acted just like some men /
have seen who were afraid to say their
souls were their own in the presence
OF their wives.
The female kangaroo is purely n
wonder, and seems to be built on
plans and specifications different from
any other animals. cause she has got
a fur-lined pouch on her stomach,
just like q vest, that she carries her
young in. When the babies are
frightened they make n hurry-up
move towards ma, the pouch opens,
and they jump in out of sight, like Il
gopher going into it's hole and the
mother looks around as innocent as
can be, as much as to say: you can
search me, / don't know, honestly,
where those kids have gone, but they
were around here not more than a
minute ago" And when the fright Is
yer the two heads peep out of the
OPP of the pouch, and the old man
srunts, as much as to say: go, come
IN out, there is no danger, and let
Jour ma have a little rest, cause she
s nervous" and then the babies come
)ut and run around the cage, and sit
ip on their hind feet and look wise.
chat kangaroo pouch is a success and
wonder why nature did not provide
lOuCHcS LOT all dlililIdtS 10 carry lElelI
Joung in. l think Pullman must have
rot his ideas for the upper and lower
oerths of a sleeping car by seeing u
kangaroo pouch. l am going to study
he Kangaroo, and make friends with
he old man kangaroo, cause he looks
is though he had troubles of his own.
Pa showed up without any coat,
While / was kangarooing, and there
vas rip in his pants, and l asked him
What was the trouble, and he said he
rot too near the cage of a leopard,
hat seemed to be asleep, and the
raitor reached out his paw and gath
red in the tail of pas coat, and just
;natched it off his back as though it
vas made Of paper.
Pa is a little discouraged about his
xperience in the circus the first day
)ut he says it will be great when we
get the run OF the business. He says
very day will have excitement To-
morrow they are going to extract a
Tooth from the Demonstration, ana
