For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
WHY CRABS WALK BACKWARD.

~ nee upon q time. years and
years ago, when the world was
young, the earth was full of
animals that roamed the for
ests and fish that swan the seas. There
were not any people except one magic
man, who lived in the jungle with the
beasts. His name was wobo.
Now Wobo was very fond of his pets.
the goldfish that he kept in a pretty
pond under a big palm tree. And on
this pond also lived a family Of crabs
Now crabs at that time were not little
like they are now. and they did not
walk backward, either. They were bis,
fine-looking things. great deal larger
than a turtle; their shells shone In
varying colors and they were very con-
ceited. proud, normal.
There were eighteen crabs in all,
brothers, who were so exactly alike
that no one. not even Wobo. could tell
cne from the other. But the eldest.
whose name was Juju, was a bad fell
low. and loved to play mean tricks.
He was fond of fish, but would always
select the gold ones to eat. and this
In spite OF the fact that Wobo had for
hidden any one to touch them. ..
One day Wobo missed his largest gold
fish and wolf told him that Juju had
eaten IL. But the crab swore he had
not.
Let US run a race" said the wolf,
"and / am sure the right will win
Agreed returned Juju, who was
tricky and thought he could gain in that
way. I'VE will run from here to the
big white rock at the end of the path
and back
So the next morning Juju hid his
brother. who was next to him in age be-
hind the rock. wobo was there to see
the animals start. but when the crab
and the wolf began to run he lay down
under a tree to wait. Juju hid under a
low bush. When the wolf got to the
rack the brother crab popped out and
said: why you are slow, brother Wolf;
j have been waiting for you a long
time
So the wolf sped back and when he
got near where Wobo was resting Juju
crowled out from under the tree. and
stood waiting him.
Goodness. but you are poky." laugh
ed Juju. Il have been here three min
utes."
So Wobo thought the crab had won
the race and had to take his word
about the goldfish.
BY the next week, however. more fish
were missing and stork came and told
Wobo that he saw Juju stealing them
out of the pond.
That is not true" cried Juju. II will
prove tive will put a pan OF water on
the grass and see who can drink 1t all
up-only ! must be allowed after each
sip to go behind that stone yonder.'
So early the next morning Juju hid
all his seventeen brothers under the
stone. The stork came up to the pan
and drank and drank and drank until
It almost burst. but still the water was
only half gone.
Then. when the pan was filled again,
Jutu dipped in his head and drank deep
ly. and ran behind the rock. In a mo-
ment another crab. which the stork and
Wobo thought was Juju, came out and
took drink. but 1t was really a broth
er. So In turn all the rest of the crabs
crawled to the pan, and by the time the
last had taken his fill the vessel was
dry.
You see | have won again." cried

Bert Williams Race Horse Funnier
Than Comedian, Says Julia Murdock
vuIgarities Of Some Revues
Are Missing, But Display Of
Figures Is Not.

- HE funniest player. or rather
pair Of players In the Ziegfeld
''Follies Of 1872 which opened q
weeks engagement in the Ma
tional Theater last evening. are the
two young men who compose the front
and hind legs Of Nicodemus. Bert WILL
iams' race horse, a blooded animal. he
says, which he Is keeping for friend.
These two young men, william Le
Brunn and Queen, whose first name Is
not mentioned in the program, contrib
ute the most laughable feature Of the
evening. Nicodemus is gray. jaded. old
and bony. possessing an expressive
backbone and a temperamental eye. l
do not remember having seen any stage
animal half 30 FUNNY as Nicodemus
since the time I saw the revival Of
"Evangeline," with Its funny COW.
These two gentlemen also appear a
an elephant in the last act. but this
later appearance il a mere detail in a
rip-roaring hodge-podge Of mer-iment
that made the most blase of the Capt.
tals citizens sit up and take consid-
cradle notice last evening. And there
was much to notice, believe me. Those
too generous display of pink and white
pulchritude were a little disappointed,
but 1 believe they got an eyeful, even
at that.
vulgarities Missing
In "The Follies of 1874"
To be sure. the show was long On
beauty and short on clothes in many
of the scenes. but the frank vulgarity
of some Of the musical revues and
shows of a kindred nature that have
visited Washington this season was
absent.
While some Of the bathing Venuses
wore apparently next to nothing he
meath. they were SO discreetly draped
that the audience was vouchsafed mere
ly a quick glimpse once in while.
There was a harlequin-quite the most
shapely harlequin 1 have ever seen
who was clad from head to heels In a
black shadow lace garment that left
nothing to the imagination. 1t was
worn over pink - I'll leave it to the
audience whether II was pink italian
