Tailed Gnu. That is surely a lesson
worth learning"
Perhaps we could learn the same
lesson" said the others, hopefully.
Maybe" said the White Tailed Gnu,
'but / would be bound to learn such
a lesson-for just think of all my good
points,"
"We're too lazy to think" said the
others. "Please tell them to us if you
want to-. That's the easiest way Of
knowing them. And we are sure you
won't miss any of them"
"NO, / won't" said the White-Tailed
Gnu in a very serious voice, and then
added, Eyes, / would like to tell my
good points" .
So he began. "In the first place 4
have a beautiful long tail which flows
along like alike a-well, like a
horses tail. Yes, that's the animal.
You know for many years we were Of
ten called the Horned Horses, because
Of u exquisite tails. We could not
be just plain horses, oh no indeed.
So we were called Horned Horses
which suited us because Of our horns.
my nos is of such a queer shape,
my horns are peculiar, my hips are
quite odd. There, haven't I many in
teresting points about mel"
"And my face Is quite queer too.
No one ever knows what I am thinking
about. Though I may be gentle I look
so superior and bored with everything
about me-a little the way our great
grandfather looked. I have learned
enough to think myself interesting
though, and that is a great deal"
"Of course" said the White-B Bearded
Gnu, at all depends upon what You
think Is interesting. A great many
people wouldn't like your looks at all.
nor ven be interested in them. Now
I have a white beard, my color Is bet
ter. I am bigger and finer"
"Tou mustn't brag," said the Blue
Gnu. "You are very much like my
self. If you boast you are Boosting
for me too. We are so much alike"
"That is So" said the White-B Bearded
Gnu.
Eyes, you do look alike" said the
White-Tailed Gnu.
"Of course you have the white beard
and you are paler, but we are very
difficult to tell apart"
II think WV have improved since u
Observation-Disclosures time" said the
White Tailed Gnu.
"Whyf" asked the others.
Because we do not think so little
of ourselves as he did. We praise our
selves up, and We are far, far hap
pier. We don't have to be cheered up
so much, and we don't depress our
friends and neighbors. Yes, It Is a
good thing to be suited with ones life
and with ones body for it's the only
one Wen have"
you're pretty wise. for an old gnu
said the others admiringiy.
The White-Tailed Gnu swished his
tail around and made a wry face and
a little bow. He thought he was
smiling. but then, It Is so hard for q

Bishop William F. Mcdowell, 1909
Sixteenth street. has been appointed
on the committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church to direct religious
work in military camps here and in
Europe, according to word received
today. Bishop Mcdowell came to
Washington from Chicago in 1915.

appointed by the Methodist general
council in session at Atlantic City are
Bishops Joseph F. Berry, Of Philadel-
phis, chairman: W. F. Anderson, Gin
cinnati; NJ. S. Hughes, oregon, and F.
d. Leete, Atlanta.
The pending uniication Of the
Northern and Southern branches Of
the Methodist Church was said today
to have the strong Endorsement OF
leaders OF both churches. This state
ment was made in a report to the
board of bishops by Bishop Earle
Cranston, of Washington, who lie
chairman of the committee which is
working toward the unification.
The chief difficulty, it is said, lies
with dealing with the churches hav-
ing negro members. The Southern
branch .wishes to separate churches

Northern branch wishes to retain the
negroes az q part OF the unified
church. f
