THE CARELESS cAmELs.


sits very careless of you, Cousin
Camel. Very, careless of you, indeed.
I'd be surprised at such carelessness
only I know you haven't any brains or
much brain power or a great many
sensible ideas in your head. And so
long as you're not so very clever I sup
pose one shouldn't scold you for being
careless"
"Some careless people are clever,
some clever people are careless" said
Cousin Camel, moving his mouth from
side to side and round and round In
funny circle.
"Some careless people are stupid,
too; some stupid people are careless,
:also," he added. "But, Cousin Drome-
Diary, have a reason for my careless
ness"
"Indeed?" asked Cousin Dromedary.
'"Pray tell it to me-"
SWELL" said Cousin Camel; as he
continued to chew and move his mouth,
perhaps it's not much Of a reason,
but 1t is reason. = t.s5S"
"That is something. Not much-but
something" And then Cousin Camel
began to say in sing-song voice:
To have a reason is something fine,
/ need say no more. but can end this

And that that is the end Of this, my
rhyme.
Cousin Camel smiled at Cousin
Dromedary and said, winking an eye:
swell, sir, what do you think Of the
camel poet?"
II don't believe I'd better tell you,"
said Cousin Dromedary. "After all, we
still want to be friends"
"True, true" grinned Cousin Camel,
who saw nothing to object to in what
Cousin Dromedary had just said.
"You aren't as big as I am" Cousin
Camel went on, "and you are not so
heavy in weight. You can get along
more quickly, it is true. But you have
two sorrows in life. One is that you
only have one hump and the other is
that you have no beautiful long hair
as have" &

view" said Cousin Dromedary. Il pre-
fer having only one hump and I don't
want to be bothered with long hair.
My family like to be this way. We all
are and we all do alike in our country,
which, by the way, is the country OF
Africa"
"True," said Cousin Camel, "just as
we all do alike in my country, which
