OLD LION
.Ac .MARY. GRAHAM, bonner

He was an old, old lion and he had
lived in the zoo for many years.
His mate had been in the zoo, too,
though he had met her in the jungles.
How we'll he remembered that time.
What a beautiful young lioness she
had been and how wonderful it was to
walk by her side through the deep,
dark forests and thick underbrush.
Oh, how lucky he was to have had
her say Eyes" when he had asked her
the most important question in the
world.
Then he had been lucky, too, that
both of them had been brought to the
zoo.
They had been very well and very
contented here, though at times there
were longings for that great, free, wild
life. Of course there were dangers
there and there were no dangers here.
Accidents might happen there which
could never happen here.
One day a visitor came to the ZOO.
The visitor came and looked at all the
lions and he stopped and looked at
Old Lion for long time.
There was a sign saying how very,
very old, Old Lion was. And the visi-
tor was amazed.
But he looks like powerful old
brute STILL" the visitor said.
That pleased Old Lion. And a sha-
dow of a smile came into his great,
thoughtful eyes.
''But I'd hate to meet him anywhere
He looks cruel and terrible as though
he cared for no one,' the visitor
added.
Old Lion did not look at the visitor.
He would not do the visitor that
honor. No, he looked over his head.
He looked far out beyond and he
seemed to see straight through the
cages at the other side of the lion

house and he seemed to see even be-
yond-far, far beyond-through to an
other land.
The visitor had gone. The other lions
were asleep. But Old Lion was wide
awake.
His mate was asleep.
But he did not feel like sleeping.
'He said / was cruel and terrible
and that cared for no one,' Old Lion
repeated.
"That shows how little he knows"
he added maybe l have been cruel
to my enemies and maybe have been
terrible
maybe l have my faults and maybe
she thinks all lions are alike.
"That is the great mistake people
make about animals anyway. We are
not all alike.
1--WE have many similar ways-We
build and market and we wander and
we act along the same family lines
s(that is not supposed to be a joke,
hope no one will take it as such) as
others do.
"But each creature is just little
different from the next one.
Lions are, almost all devoted mates.
But above all think / am the most
devoted mate.
81 do not say this because / wish
to praise myself. / say it because
think it is due my beautiful lioness-
because she is so beautiful and so
lovely she deserves great devotion.
ST loved her when first l saw her.

man had no right to look at me and
say that looked as though I cared for
no one.
"What does he know Of the love that
is In my lion heart?
"What does he know of the affection
and the devotion and the admiration !
feel toward my dear lioness?
"She is not so young as she once
was, but she is still so wonderful. Her
charm, her superb lioness' charm, is
greater today than ever it was.
"Her roaring voice is more lovely to
my ears. Her wild, wild eyes more
beautiful.

Observation-Disclosures
oBSTRUClED CRESCENT

TT is general superstition through
4 out Europe and the United States
that If you see the new moon through
trees or shrubbery you will have trou-
BILE all that month. In some parts of
the country they have rhyme which
goes:
See the new moon through glass
See sorrow while 1t lasts.
That is, you will have bad luck for
month. The reason is easy enough to
see. The new moon, the crescent, Is
the favorite form and symbol of the
moon-goddess; call her Isis, Artemis,
Diana or what you will. From the
moon-goddess in her crescent form
amanate the beneficent influences
which mean good luck and prosperity.
Now, If when you first see the new
moon in the sky, first hail the crescent
goddess in the monthly beginning of
her manifestation, there interposes be-
tween you and her the boughs of trees
or the branches of bushes, or the bar
rier of glass it Is evidently a sign that
while that moon lasts-fOr that month,
in ehCrt-you are cut off from the
hene6cent influences of the goddess.
Consequently sorrow and bad luck.
This is the survival of very ancient
,dea and in this connection 1t may be
wei; to quote the words Of William
wells Newell with regard to survivals.
,0rbe modern survival exhibits those
fundamental conceptions out of which
grew the complicated rites and elab-
crate mythologies of ancient religions.
CIV this manner, as from height of
observation, we are able to look back
bevond recorded history and to trace
the principles of historic development.
