haps. but nevertheless there.
The dispatch says the cat disap-
peared the night the bird flew away.
The ribald may say the cat at last saw
a chance to get close to the bird so long
barred from It, But. no. The account
continues gravely that four days later
the cat returned, holding the canary
by one wing, the bird still alive. and
dropped it's friend pet at Mrs. Woods
feet. 1t would seem the pussy had
searched the wildwood for Dickie and
got no clew until the song of the bird
was heard With a plaintively inviting
NEW the cat called the canary from the
tree and brought it home. The story
was in the papers.
But strange-or too strange as the
case may be-as this incident may ap-
pear 1t Is well authenticated fact that
a cat and a bird may live out their lives
together with no harm coming to the
bird, even when the cat has had full
and free opportunity to pounce upon
its natural prey. Such unusual COM
panionship was evidenced for many
years in old museum days by the ex-
hibition of the so called incongruous
happy family.
In case together Barnum and many
successors displayed the lion and the
lamb reclining contentedly. Also the
| monkey and the parrot, and the COM
mon house cat with robin and a can

said, by starting with the animals from
the moment of their birth and making

so mounted the camel is no longer a fig

this addition to his appearance the camel
can no longer rank as a thing of beauty
from any point of view. On the contrary,
he may well complain. as did Humphrey,

who was very much discouraged with his

had so subsidized that the camels, which
by this time numbered % head, were sold
to Bether Coopwood, a stoclnan of La
redo. Only s12 or S14 was paid for each
of the camels. The herd was then di-
vided some of them going to Mexico to
be used by TRANSFORMATION company,
While others were sent to California. A
few of the camels found their way into
circuses, and as the Mexican transpor-
tation scheme proved failure. the Mex
lean camels returned to the United States
and Joined the herd In California.
From time to time the camels escaped
or We're set at liberty upon the plains
because they had proved valueless to
their owners. and these momadic and
| ownerless camels roaming around on the
deserts of Texas, Mexico and California
appeared sometimes to the cowboys and
homesteaders, striking terror to the heart
of these somewhat superstitous folk by
their strange and ungainly appearance as
they approached over the sands.
Sometimes settler who happened to
meet one of the rare beasts while pros
pecting many miles from civilization

wanderers across the plains had tales to
/ tell of the circus animals who had strolled

with glances partly contemptuous, partly
discontented. Not often were these tales
entirely credited, because only the oldest
wanderers in those parts remembered the

Arabian camels in the American deserts

Not First Trial
This Is not the first occasion on which
an effort has been made to start camel
culture in the United States. Jefferson
Davis, when he was Secretary of War in
President Pierces cabinet, was the orig
inator of a project for the raising of
camels by the government. That expert
ment also was made in the neighborhood
Of Cape Verde, and the old buildings.
modelled after a caravansary in Asia
Minor are still in existence although in
a somewhat dilapidaIed condition.
With the idea that the camels would be
useful in Indian warfare because they
could carry dispatches more swiftly than
| horses, and that in other ways they could
| be made useful in the deserts, the gov
ernment imported 40 camels with 12 Ar
| menian drivsrs and their families in
| 1856.
! But just when the camels were about to
demonstrate their ability to be of service
| in the new land, the breaking out of the
Civil war and the election of Jefferson
Davis to the Presidency of the confeder-
acy interfered with the project, and drew
all thought away from the acclimatza-
ton of the "oonts'' to more serious mat
ters After the close of the war interest
