FAKE STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS

If we are to accept President
Roosevelt and John Burroughs as
our guides, the vast mass Of ami
nal stories that has been thrown
on the market Of recent years has
been "faked" stuff, pure and sim
| pie. The Seton-Thompson books
with their beautiful illustrations
and wonderfully interesting &C
counts Of animal instinct and in
telligence, have been mainly fig
lnents Of that authors gifted i'm
aginatiOn, and not, as we have all
thought, actual pages from animal
life.
President Roosevelt in a current
article soundly berates several of
these "fake naturalists" who have
been labelling falsities as facts and
palming off fiction on the public
asabsolute truth. Mr.. Burroughs
takes up his cudgel again and says
to the world at large:
These fellows that write fake
stories about animals beat me,
said he. VIII they never learn
the old adage that fact is stranger
than fiction! Why can't they tell
the truth about things7 1t wouldn't
hurt them and 1t would do the
public lot Of good, where their
lying stories delude and fool it.
"Now, there's Seton. His
"Wild Animals ! Have Known
"Wnd Animals / Alone Have
Known" | call it's mostly all
rot. 1t is interesting, but impos-
sible. If the public would take
these books as fakes it would not
be so bad, but they don't. To give
an example of Mr.. Seton's absur
dities, take the story of the fox.
He makes it such a foxy fox that
it lures a pack Of hounds On to a
long trestle just ia time to have
them run over by train, and the
author assigns it to the animals
reason. Now is not that ridicul-
ous?"
1t does look like a pity, though,
to destroy the public's confidence
and ruin its enjoyment of popular
animal stories which have been so
much in vogue.
