SATURDAY, FEU. 3, lOOO,
A tetter From Home.
(From the Princess Boo Lally at Gumbo
Goo, South Sea Islands, to her brother,
Prince Umbobo, a sophomore at Yale.)
"It Is spring, my dear Umbobo,
On the Isle of Gumbo-Goo,
And your father, King Korobo,
And your mother long for you.
"We had missionaries Monday,
Much the finest of the year
Our old cook came back last Sunday,
And the stews 6he makes are dear.
"I've the loveliest string of knuckles,
Which dear father gave to me,
And a pair of shinbone buckles,
Which I to wish you could see.
"You remember Mr. Booloo?
He is coming over soon
With 60me friends from Umatulu
We all hope they'll call at noon.
"Mr. Booloo's rather 6lender,
But we'll fix him up with sage.
And I think he'll be quite tender
For a fellow of his age.
"I am hoping next vacation
I may visit you awhile.
In this out of-way location
It's so hard to know the style.
"Will you try and match the sample
I Inclose be sure it's green.
Get three yards that will be ample.
Velvet, mind, not velveteen.
"Gentle mother worries badly,
And she thinks it is a shame
That a man like Dr. Hadley
Lets you play that football game.
"For the way they hurt each other
Seems so barbarously rude
No, you've not been raised, dear brother,
To do anything so crude.
"And those horrid meals at college.
Not what you're accubtomed to.
It is hard, this quest for knowledge,
But be brave. Your sister, Boo.
P. S. "If it's not too great a bother,
And a mental over tax,
Would you send your poor old father,
C. O. D., a battle-axe?"
Wallace Irwin.

ANIMALS AND COLORS
II
HE animal trainer was
discoursing on animals
in general and their dis
like for colors in partic
ular. "Last season," he be
gan, "when the Higgling shows were
touring the south, an unsuspecting girl
had a gorgeous plume of this color torn
from her hat and was frightened into an
assortment of lits. Her escort, a lantern
jawed young fellow, got mad and wanted
to clean up things, lie barked up the
wrong tree on that score, and, after bang
ing away f.t a youngster in uniform, tried
his hand on an old timer and got a good,
hard bump for his pains. Luckily I came
along and saved the te'sty young man's
bones from a long siege of aches. The
purple plume was the innocent cause of
the mess, and, after the young girl had
come around explanations were made
and the incident closed without any
further unpleasantness. The manage
ment had to give up $20 for the hat. If
you want to get a monkey to turning
handsprings and squeaking with rage
wave a combination of red and green be
fore his eyes.
"An odd thing about this, too, is that
he is partial to green alone in fact, most
animals are but when red is mixed up
with the green Mr. Monkey gets on his
ear and jumps madly at everything within
reach. Green is a soothing color to wild
animals, just as it is to human beings. I
have used green shades to get nervous
creatures sleepy. It never fails.
"When I want to make big, fat, lazy
animals, like the hippopotamus and rhi
nocerous shut their eyes in sleep I draw
a piece of green baize around the cage
and the snoring chorus, which soon fol
lows, shows that the green has done its
work. Certain shades of red, say scarlet,
are most irritating to feline beasts. A
girl with a scarlet hat or jacket will make
a tiger hiss and snarl and roar until he is
out of breath and then, most likely, he
will further show his rage by tearing at
the steel bars of his cage until his gums
drip with blood. The young attendants
know this and when a girl overshot with
scarlet comes near their charge she is
politely told that the big show is about
to begin, or turned toward the dens of
baby wild animals.
"Bears don't like blue. They are
grumpy critters anyway. A big police
man of San Francisco can testify to the
fact that bears have no use for blue, lie
was on duty at the show and wore his
blue uniform. Toward the end of the
engagement he began to feel at home and
liked to show his friends around, es
pecially those of the gentler sex. I told
him not to get too near the bears but he
knew; the fellows who get hurt always
do. A sly old cinnamon bear waited his
time and when it came nailed the police
man's coat-skirts and tore them oft' as
clearly from the waistline as if they h;nl
been cut by a sharp knife. The pol ice
man looked funny in his new Eton jacket
and swore like a sailor. He was lucky
to have saved his skin.
"Gray is a depressing color to lions.
Probably this is because they are such
swellheads. They are a good deal like
handsome men, and that is about the
limit. When everything is sunny and
their food comes on time and plenty of
girls come along to say admiring things,
these beasts are as happjr, apparently, as
a colt in a clover Held. They like blue,
and they don't mind red, but when it
comes to grey their features hang as if
they had had bad news from home. Black
and white is a pleasing combination to
lions and leopards. I sometimes wonder
if this is not due to so many of them
coming here by way of Germany, and, as
a rule, being held up for quite a while in
"Hamburg gardens before they make this
trip. A Chinese Hag makes them cranky.
"I have tried to find out if there was
any positive color that giraftes preferred
most, but so far I have been unable to
prove anything like this to my satisfac
tion. You know, the girafte can make
no sound, and is mild mannered as a
shrinking young girl.
"The rhinoceros has the funniest little
whistle for so huge a body, and when he
gets mad this pipe blows like a factory
signal at noontime. He has no use for
bright colors of any kind, but will snip
at and munch playfully soft shades of
brown, green and blue. I think, if he
has any preference, it leans to black and
gray.
"The hyena will almost jump out of his
skin at the sight of purple, and certain
kinds of music and even some people,
create strong likes or dislikes."
