THE CAMELS' WALK.
“I've heard children talking." said
the camel with two humps, known as
the Baetrian Camel.
‘‘So have I,” 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 Baetrian Camel. His
name was Carlton, while the camel
with the single hump w’as named
Davey Dromedary.
“No, I never said it did." said Davey.
“Of course it doesn’t take anything
away front that fact, nothing at all.
What makes you think it does?"
“Because," said Carlton, “when 1
start to say something about tuyself
you start in to say the same thing.”
‘Tm only agreeing with you," suid
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 tmd any fun or any
Interesting experience that they don t
want to step in and say they’d had
something just as interesting happen."
“I didn’t step anywhere but straight
ahead.’’ said Davey.
“Y'ou know what I mean," said Carl
ton.
“Oh. all right,” said Davey; "what
did you hear children say?"
“I heard them talking a I tout the joys
of riding the camels in the zoo and I
wanted to tell them that once I was in
a circus and I had handsomely dressed
ladies riding on me."
Davey was just about to say that
he, too, had been in a circus, but then
he remembered his story wouldn’t be
a very good one because he hadn’t
given children or handsome ladies or
• anyone a ride. He was rather small
in comparison with Carlton.
“Yes," continued Carlton, "life in the
circus was very interesting, and if the
children come to the show I will tell
them about It. if I can take the time
away from ivy 'diewing."
"Do you suppose you will be able to
take the time away from that?" asked
Davey.
“That's the whole trouble," said
Carlton. “I very much doubt it. Yes,
I very much doubt it, indeed."
“So do I,” said Davey. “I may 'ay
that much, may I not? I 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."
“I’m feeling pleasant," said Carlton,
“and I don’t mind having you or any
other creature relate interesting ad
ventures and experiences.
“Only, it does make me a little mad
when I think that there are some crea
tures who will never, never, never let
anyone else tell a story that they don’t
say: ‘Oh. yes, I know all about that.
I had the same tiling happen to me,
only more so!'
“You were about to get into that
bad habit, Davey," sal*! the camel, with
tin' two humps. ‘T stopped you in
time, for you're a nice dromedary."
“Thank you." said Davey.
“Yes, you say something that is true
when you say that you don t know
whether 1 11 be able to stop chewing
long enough to tell the children my
story.
"I'm not sure that I will have time.
Anyway. I 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 we're to walk
around some others, and were all
dressed up with capes or shawls or
something of the sort, which say that
there is going to he a show tonight and
where it is going to be. In other words,
we're advertising these shows. We’re
doing good work."
“I know we are," said Carlton.
“We're attracting attention, notice, the
looks of people and children. That is,
w-e'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.
“I guess, come to think of it, said
Carlton, "that after this long city walk
advertising the show I'll have to take
a good rest when the children come to
see me and will have to do nothing
else but chew."
“I feel the same way about it,” said
Davey.

Neighbor Smith’s little boy so shame

Father—I told you to! Why. my
