RIVERS IS DROODING
OVER HIS DEFEAT
Little Spaniard Evidently Fears Hos
tile Demonstration on His Arrival
in Los Angeles.
LuNlrEp PRESS LEASED VINE. ]

San Francisco, July S.-Little has
been seen Of Joe Rivers since last Fri
day He has kept to his room much
of the time, brooding over his defeat,
and the vicious attacks made ON him
for his alleged laying down. He has
wept frequently, and is completely
broken up. Those with him have tried
to console him, but without avail. The
little Spaniard evidently fears hostile
demonstration upon his arrival in Los
Angeles, but is hopeful of Joe Levy
smoothing matters over for him. Rivers
has not opened his mouth to the press
since his defeat, evidently reserving his
story for the home writers. Rivers goes
south tomorrow night.

So sang Rudyard Kipling. To many
the verse will seem nothing more than
foolishly cynical statement. To the
few who look more deeply into the
psychology of their own natures and
the natures of their fellows there is a
poignant truth contained in the three
short lines just quoted.
A crowd was gathered about a cage
in the zoo watching the antics of a
trained monkey. Before the bars stood
keeper; crouched behind them his
eyes on the mans face, was a young
chimpanzee.
The keeper took two cigarettes out
of his pocket. One he gave to the
chimpanzee, the other he put in his
own mouth.
Following the motions of his master,
the simian did as he did. The keeper
held out his hand to the chimpanzee,
the ape extended his paw and the pair
shook hands.
Murmur ran through the spectators.
"Isn't he almost humanl" they said.
He was almost human. The monkey,
with the face of senile gravity, con
scientiously duplicating every gesture
Of his keeper, made a picture which
was far more scathing caricature of
modern society than many Of the spec
tators appreciated.
The cases of the average man or wo'
man and the monkey bear one startling
similarity-both possess the faculty and
desire to initiate something or some
body.
The monkey initiates his keeper; the
human being initiates a person or thing
that has aroused his envy, admiration
or, perhaps, his grudging respect,
Man s model may be person or it
may be an abstract standard-like
Fashion. He follows it Just the same.
Whether this human tendency is a
remnant of the time when, as evolution
lists believe, we were semi.apes, or
whether it is feature of q society in
which ones close association with his
neighbors STILES his individuality, is q
difficult and not relevant question
Briefly, the point Of the whole mat
ter is this; the average member of so
ciety lacks the courage to be himself
even when that self is better than that
Of the people whom he initiates.

half of the last century, in his worl

that bird of which he had had great
expectations as a prize minner was
unwell, and from the symptoms de-

was a case Of roup--a very infectious
trouble. Accordingly he wired to the
girl:
