other cages and put snuff in all of
them, | came up to the lions cage.
The lion had stopped sneezing and
was roaring and jumping up and
down, with his mouth open, trying to
catch his breath, like a man who
has taken too big a dose of fresh
horse-radish.
Pa said: What you been doing to
Shadrack ?"
1 told pa 1 had woke Shadrack up,
and that in about minute he would
find that the whole animal kingdom
had got a bellyful. and would join
in the chorus.
Pa tried to soothe the lion by going
up to the cage and stroking his name,
but the lion looked crOss-eyed and
stopped prancing and gave sneeze
right at pa, which blew pa clear across
the tent to where the sacred COW had
just got hers. When the stuff began
to work on that COW it was simply
scandalous, cause she beloved and
cried and sneezed all at once, and
paved pa. He got up and told me
was OVERRIDING this waking up act
on the animals.
BY that time the cage of hyenas be-
gan to sneeze a quartette, and fight
each other, and the atmosphere about
their cage was full of hair and Ian
GUESSING if it could be translated into
English. Pa tried to cuiet the crowd
and silence the hyenas by taking an
iron bar and mauline them, but the
hyenas just backed up against the
rear of the cage and howled and
sneezed at pa, and dared him to come
or.
one of them caught him by the
shirt sleeve and tore pas shirt off and
eat it. Pa was sight, with no shirt
on, and he ought to have gone to the
dressing room and slicked, but just
then the camels and the giraffes, who
had inhaled their snuff, began to
sneeze and beg to be killed, and pa
had to go over there and quiet them
camel is the solemnest looking beast
on earth when he tries to be good
natured, but when he is sick and mad,
and full of snuff, he is fiend. One
such camel is enough for a man to
handle. but when IA camels are all
sneezing at once, and trying to locate
the person that is responsible for
their trouble it is the safest to keep
away, and when pa went in amongst
them. with no shirt on. and the Arab
keepers had run away in fright, it
was a dangerous thing do to.
But pa is brave even to rashness.
Ee wen up to Mahomet. the double
bumped Lesser of the herd, who was
the leader of the sneezers, and kicked
him in the Stats and told him to hush
up his noise. He dubbed him on the
humps with a tent stake. Then there
was a dangerous thing to do.
homet bit pa and wouldn't let go,
and the other camels sneezed all over
pa. and had him down. walking on
him with their padded feet, The cir
Gus hands had to pull pa out, and it
wasn't so bad. because the crowd re-
manned and they thought it was
, part of the show, and that the ami
| mails were trained to sneeze. that way
The worst case was the hippopota-
mus He was so big, and had such
| big ->sostrils, that l laid about half
pound of snuff on the side of his tank,
and when he snuffed it up his nose
| he got it all. / heard a howl from
the tank and / knew the hippo was
getting ready to sneeZe, and l told pa
| to come on. cause Vesuvius was
going to eruDt.
Pa came on the run, just as he was,
and then the worst happened. j think
| the hippo went under water when lie
found the sneeze was coming, for just
as pa got to the tank the water flew
into the air like torpedo and ex-
