THE ANIMAL WAS A FRAUD.

A farmer, SO the story goes, went
to the circus with his family, saws
an exchange, In looking over the
menagerie the farmer came to a
dromedary, whose ugliness fasci-
mated him. He sized up the beast
from his misshapen head, his thick
neck and his hump to the slim tail,
his crooked legs and the sprawling
feet. The rest of the family were
ready to move on, but the farmer
fingered, unable to take his eyes
from the dromedary One of the
girls called to him: PA, come on,
We are ready to go now. You have
looked at that thing long enough. i"
Still Pa didn't bulge. Then the
boy shouted: Come on pap | can
see the horses go round through
that door. Well miss part of the
show. Finally ma tried her voice
on him. The old man gave one
last look and moved on. With eyes
still on the dromedary, he said:
