Monkey No Lonqer Boasted,

The monkey was forever blowing about what man laS accomplished. This descendant of mine," he would say lis the most enlightened animal on earth" He told of all that man has done, and told it so often that the other animals were sick of listening. Finally some of them induced him to go to a theater After each act he would say to the other animals :: Those people are my descendants and I am very proud of them. None of the balance of you can point with pride to such descendants" At last a man came on the stage alone. He danced on the floor; then he jumped up in the air and danced; he sat down and danced; he got himself in all kinds of shapes; he danced things that no one had ever danced before, and a few things that no one would ever dance again. Before the man had finished the monkey got up and left the house, and from that day until this he has never once mentioned his descendants. Claude Callan, in Fort Worth Star Telegram.
