He Didn't Treat Mamma
Very Nice, But Maybe
He's Jealous.

We tried to get a picture of Mrs.
Sea Lion to run in this column today,
but Mr.. Sea Lion wouldn't let us.
<Not much" he growled. III any
member of this family is going to get
their picture in the paper. it's going
to be me. Anyway. Mrs. Sea Lion is
not half so big and handsome as am.
and your readers would much rather
see me-"
Mrs. Sea Lion herself didn't seem
to have much to say about the mat
ter. and only blInked her soft brown
eyes at us from the top of the pile
of rocks where she was taking a sun
bath.
Rest on Rocks.
THE only thing she likes to do"
continued her irate spouse, lis to
rest on those rocks and watch me
swimming around in the pool. But
I'll get her down" and he made a
floppy rush up the rocks and violently
knocked poor Mrs. Sea Lion off her
perch. However. after swimming
around the pool a few times. she
climbed back and settled herself
again for her afternoon nap in the
sun.
Just like her." declared the sea lion
IN disgust" but you watch me if you
want to see some real swimm. n.y." and
he dived into the water. to appear a
few seconds later at the other end OF
the pool.
"How's that" he asked modestly,
and turned a fiip-f1op backward into
the water again, coming UP at the
photographers feet, blowing and
putting.
Assuring him that he was the cham
pion swimmer of the Geological Park,
the photographer sapped his picture
just as he raised himself from the
water. and left the cage promising
the sea lion that the children of Wash
ington would select him a suitable and
appropriate name.
