1--WE heard children talking,r. said
the camel with two humps. known AZ
the Bactrian Camel.
$50 have l." said the camel with
one hump, known as the Dromedary.
well. that doesn't take anything
away from the fact that I've heard
Them" said the Ractrian Camel. HIS
name was Carlton, while the camel
with the single hump was named
Davey Dromedary.
NO, l never said 1t did," said Davpy.
OF course 1t doesn't take. anything
away. from that. fact. nothing at ali.
What makes you think it does?"~
Because" said Carlton, "when
| start to say something about myself
you start in to say the same thing"
| I'm only agreeing with yon,' said
Davey.
"You can agree with me without say
ing you did the same thing or heard'
the same thing. You are like some
creatures" continued. Carlton. "who
never hear anyone who knows any
thing, or has had any fun Or any
interesting experience that they don't
want to step in and say they'd had
4 something just as interesting happen"
81 didn't step anywhere but straight
ahead" said Davey.
you know what mean," said Carl
| ton. ~.
"Oh, all right" said Davey; ''what
did you hear children say?"
1 Il heard them talking about the joys
of riding the canlels in the zoo and
wanted to tell them that once was in
circus and had handsomely dressed
ladies riding on me-"
Davey was just about to- say that
he, too, had been in n circus. but then
he remembered his story wouldn't he
very good one because he hadn't
given children or handsome ladies' or
anyone ride. He was rather small
in comparison with Carlton.
EYES," continued Carlton. life IN the.
circus was very Interesting, and 1t the
children come to the show will tell
them about it, If i can take the time
away from my chewing"
do you suppose you will be able to
take the time away from thal?' asked
Davey.
That's the whole trouble" said
Carlton. Il very much doubt 1T. Yes,
very much doubt it, indeed"
$50 do L." said Dnvey. II may say
that much. may not! see you're not
feeling so pleasant today. and we'd bet
ter be friendly or we'll do the show
great harm, great HARM
"rm feeling pleasant" said Carlton,
land don't mind having you or amy
other creature relate interesting adj
ventures and experiences.
ssx.Only, it does make NE, Il little mad
when think that there are some crea-
lures who will never. never, never let
anyone else tell Il story that they don:
a say: oh, yes, know all about that
had the same thing happen to me.
only more SOY
"You were about to get Into that
bad habit. Davey," said the camel, With
the two. humps. II stopped you in
time, for you're a nice dronledary.' q
"Thank you.' said Davey. <
Eyes, you say something that is true
when you say that you don't know
whether I'll be able to stop chewing
long enough to tell the children my
story.
''T'm not sure that will have time.
Anyway, l am doing my duty now, and
you are, too, Davey.'
Thank you" said Davey, "for men.
tioning me, too. Yes. we couldn't
quarrel now, for here we are, walking
In this city street, and were to walk
around some others, and we're all
dressed up with capes or shawls or
something of the sort, which say that
there is going to be Il show tonight AMI
where it is going to be. In other words,
we're advertising these shows. We're
doing good work"
II know we are" said Carlton.
Were attracting attention, notice. the
looks of people and children. That is.
we're not getting their looks so we'll
look like them instead of us, but we're
making them look at us and they're
reading our signs.
II guess, come to think of it," said
Carlton, "that after this long city walk
advertising the show I'll have to take
q good rest when the children come to
see me and will have to do nothing
else but chew"
II feel the same way about It," said
payey.
More Blessed to Give.
