VVayi In Which Wild BrntcM Show
Their Contempt For Mankind
Wild animals have a great many
ways of showing their contempt for
humnnklnd said an artist who has
made a specialty of modeling annuals
Every one has an idea that ele
phants become tame and even fond of
people but this Is altogether wrong
They are easily trained but are never
tamed They are docile just so long as
the keeper has his goad in his hand or
the memory of a burning endures 1
had proof of this one day while model
ing one of the elephants in a big ani
mal show I was sitting In his stall
with my modeling stand not knowing
that on certain days he was given an
extra allowance of chain Suddenly he
flung his trunk around with such force
that It smashed the stand to bits and
sent me a dozen feet outside the stall
lie never forgot his failure to finish
me and soon afterward he expressed
his dislike in a more vulgar if less dan
gerous manner As I worked I heard
him make a loud sucking noise but
suspected nothing At last when he
had his mouth quite full of saliva he
blew it toward me
This Is not only a trick of elephants
but of other animals as well as I have
learned to my sorrow Camels have
the same habit and while working
near a camel one day I was treated to
a shower of finely chewed cud
This sculptor and other artists agree
that the cat animals have a different
mode of attack There seems less of
spite and more of real hate in their
method Sculptors usually place their
modeling stands as close to the bars as
possible This same one was once
working close to a tigers cage with
the beast inside lying very quiet ap
parently asleep Without even raising
his eyeballs the big cat struck be
tween the bars with his heavy forepaw
splintering the stand and sending the
clay in wads on the floor The artist
warned by a sixth sense developed by
those who are much about animals

Pulling up his trousers he seated him

Demean
Says a writer in the London Chroni
cle A vulgarism one which like ag
gravate for irritate has come into
use by way of the kitchen stairs is
demean with a sense of derogation
or abasement It is to be seen in many
a paper and even many a book and
heard in many a speech It is the sec
ond syllable that has misled the popu
lar understanding but the noun de
meanor should have saved the edu
cated from their blunder with the verb
When the cook refuses to demean her
self she is excusable because de
meanor is not in her vocabulary

AN INDIAN LEGEND
The Way Made the Jfevr
Earth After the Flood
I will tell you the story of
lie Is the man who made the
new earth after the big water came
and covered it
Big waters came and there was
pothing anywhere except water and
the sky and the sun and the stars
said the old Chippewa
made a great raft and put on it some
relic of everything that had been on
the earth specimens of each kind of
animals of all the trees shrubs plants
flowers birds rocks and one man and
one woman In short he did not leave
anything except sand He forgot to
save some sand and yet he could not
do anything without it He sailed out
far Into the flood and made a little
island very very small Then he fouud
he had no sand no made a very big
line longer than hundreds of deer
skins cut up into ribbons and tied to
gether and he toek a muskrat off the
raft and tied the line to it and threw
It into the water The frightened rat
dove down and down and when there
was no longer any pulling at the line
knew the rat was at the
bottom of the sea Then he began to
pull the line up At the end of it came
the poor muskrat stone dead drowned
But saw that the little
black paws of the animal were clench
ed as if there was something In their
palms and that the rat held tight hold
of even after death The little paws
were forced open and in them were
found half a dozen grains of sand One
grain would have been enough for the
great
blew his breath on the
muskrat and its life came back to It
Then he mixed the sand in the little
island that he had made and blew on
that also As he biew and blew it
swelled and swelled until it was so big
that could not see the
sides or end of it in any direction
was not quite certain
whether he had made it as big as the
old earth before the big water came
Ho had to make It as big as it had
been so big In fact that no man or
crenture could And the end of It He
had plenty of animals that could travel
over the earth and find out how big It
was so he decided to take two huge
buffaloes off the raft and send them to
see whether there was any end to what
he had made The buffaloes ran off
with all speed and sat
down and waited In a few days the
buffaloes came back and said they had
found the end of the earth So
blew and blew and blew on the
ground again and it swelled so fast
that you could see It broadening AYhen
he had blown until he was tired he
took a crow off the raft and sent it to
see if It could find the end of the
earth The crow was gone a very long
time but at last it came sailing back
on the wind and said it had flown till it
was tired out and there was no sign of
any end to the earth
to make sure blew
again and swelled the earth a great
deal bigger Then he untied and un
caged and untrapped all th animals
and drove them from the raft on to the
land and left them free to roam where
they might He took all the trees
plants bushes and shrubs and planted
them around and he blew the grass
out of his hands as hard as he could
blow It so that it scattered all over
Next he let loose all the birds and bee
tles and bugs and snakes and toads
and butterflies and finally he Invited
the man nnd woman both Chlppeways
to go ashore and make the new earth
their hunting ground And
task was done St Nicholas
