PUT THE ANIMALS TOGETHER.
Their Effort to Keep Warm Put an
End to Their Hostilities.
Paris Cor. London Globe

Men are sometimes advised to take a les
son from the animals and a story told by
NJ. Hugues lie Roux would seem to Indicate
that they are at least quite capable of In
telligent reasoning.
NJ. lie Roux has Travelled extensively. and
a his place, not far from Paris. he likes 10
study the animals he has brought back
from his wanderings. He has at present IN
his amateur menagerie a Saharan gazele u
young Italian wolf, two fox terriers and a
mare and her foal. At first all these ami
mails were on the very worst of terms with
one another The wolf had his shoulder
put out OF JOINT by the gaZelle in an encouu-
ter in which he was given TO understan L
that the gaZolle did not care to be disturbed
in her daily promenades. The mare could
not bear the fox terriers. and If they ever
vcntured near her box when she was suck
ling her foal she was ready 10 make a meal
of them.
The various members OF the mena gerie
would probably have continued to maintain
toward one another an attitude of enmty
and defiance had not accidental circum-
stance put an end to their mutual hostility.
At the commencement Of winter workmen
began TO demolish the kennel and take the
roof off the stable. All the animals were
exposed to cold and rain.
How to keep them comfortable was at
length solved by AN Ethiopian soldier whom
NJ lie RouX had brought back with him to
France. "All these animals are cold he
argued. because they are separate. I'll
put them together" Had he consulted his
master before doing so he could certainly
not have obtained PERMISSION, for NJ. les
RouN. knowing their hostility toward one
another would have forbidden such plan
for fear Of the consequences.
But when he went into the garden one day
to give his pets carrot he found them al
collected together. The millennium had ar
rived-the sazclle and the wolf Were lying
down together. the mare and the fox ter
riers had become reconciled. and In the COM
mon warmth and comfort which they Jointly
shared all thought of hatred had vanished.

Passing of the Flemish.

FROM Pubic opinion.
Are Flanders and the Flemish TO become
mere names in history Are the proud ira
ditions of the race TO be forgotten today?
These are questions which a recent article
in the Hamburger Nachrichten answers
in the affirmative During the past sum-
mer the Belgians celebrated with great re-
joicing the seventy-fifth anniversary of the
day when the Dutch yoke was cast on
For the Dutchmen this was a queer hap
penins, but it taken in good part
ana the merry making was even entered
into. For in reality the Dutch did not
regret the separation-the union of 1915 was
purely artificial and both sides We're re-
lieved when separation became an open
fact There were too many differences CT
pellef, temperament and custom.
The Belgian Dutchmen, however soon
began to regret the separation. One of the
first acts of the new state was to make
French an official language, and the Bel
gfans worked with might and main to
make the country French. In 1910, how
ever. Jan Frans Willems rose and demand
ed that French and Flemish be given
equal rights in the country. but it was
not until 1863 that the first Flemish word
was heard in the national assembly At
this time the movement had gained inn
mense proportions. Such men as Snellaent
Blommaerr, Prudens van Duizse, David,
Conscience, Noiet de Braun gathered about
Willems; a number of celebrated literary
men, Hendrix Conscience, Ledeganck. Jan
van Beers and others created great ma
tfonal poetry; newspapers aud periodicals
came into existence, unions OF propaganda
We're formed and the Flemish nationality
for centuries more less oppressed-be-
gan to develop. But only In 1898 was
Flemish put even footing with
French.
To-day we are face to face with the fact
that the Flemish, after a struggle Of sixty
years, have been defeated in all directions
by a French minority. None of the laws
providing for equality OF languages has
been properly carried out. On the postage
stamps and bank notes, II is true. the
Dutch tongue appears, but this is mere
trifiing For in face of this we see that
all official Belgium is in French hands,
and 1t frequently happens that the judges
refuse TO hear witness who uses Flemish.
Furthermore, the thousands of Flemish
people who have been compelled to PASS
into the district Inhabited by the Wal
looms are entirely heipless-they are SIMPLE
unconsidered human beings"
