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 dose of
fresh horse-radish.
Pa said: What you been doing to
Shadrack?"

that in about a minute he would find that
the whole animal kingdom had got q
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 a 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

at once, and paved pa. He got up and

BY that time the cage of hyenas began
to sneeze quartette, and fight each
other, and the atmosphere about their
cage was full of hair and language that
would be much like cussing if it could
be translated into English. Pa tried to
quiet the crowd and silence the hyenas
by taking an iron bar and mauling them,
but the hyenas just backed up against
the rear of the cage and howled and
sneezed at pa, and dared him to come on.
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. A camel is the solemnest
looking beast on earth when he tries to

lions cage, and he was the sickest and
most Disguised looking lion you ever
saw, acting like man who has taken
severe cold, and wants to kill anybody
that looks at him. The lion lay on the
straw, stretched out full length, paying
no attention to the crowd that passed
his cage, and acting as though he wanted
hot whisky and his feet soaked in
mustard water. When he was not look

whole of the snuff up into his nose and
lungs. and insides generally.
Gee, but you never saw such change

right near his cage, when he shifted, and
when he got the snuff into him, he began

The hippo had blown the water all out

he raised his head, got up on his feet,
and opened his mouth like cash cut in
