King Lion. ‘’They say Unit about nit*—some people do. I!ut those peo ple nre Ignorant. “They only want to say something against me, and it’s hard, mighty hard, to rii.v anything against a lion.” "Is that so?" growled the Tiger. "It Is so," routed the Lion. "Yes, when yon hide and fake great cure of yourself and don't let the hunter see you, they say that you are clever and careful, but that I take foolish risks. It 1* most unfair. When I don’t take foolish chances I'm a cow ard, hut when you don't take them, you’re clever.” "Clh, well. King Lion,” roared the Tiger, "you can't lie a tiger. You know I at^i ns large as you nre, and as tine, and It is quite trmy I run far more clever.” .■ } “ilo, ho!" roared the Lion. “You are conceited, you are." “I have something about which to he conceited,” said the Tiger. "Oh, perhaps,'" said King Lion, "but so have I. And I will admit that the people who say I am cowardly because I don't take wild chances are very few. Most people know better. They know I am not being unwise. “Hut ns for you, old Tiger, you will never take any chances at all. You're entirely too clever, and too cautious. You don’t know the Joy of taking a good, dangerous chance.” "I never take foolish risks," said the Tiger proudly. "You do, even if some people do think you’re cowardly. 1 would never call you that, hat I would call you foolish, of course you’re too fond of boasting. That never pays." "What do you mean by that?" asked King Lion. "Any creature'who is as fond of blowing ids own trumpet as you are never amounts to much.” “I don’t blow my own trumpet. I rour.” roared King Lion. "There you go," said the Tiger, "boasting again. Well, old Lion, for all your roaring nnd all your desire for attention you’re not as clever as “Is That So?" Growled the Tigsr. your old neighbor, the Tiger! While you’re roaring and boasting i'll he got., ting the good things of life. Boor hid, conceited, roaring King Lion.’’ Hut the lion only mured more than ever, for he was very angry, particu larly because he know that much that the Tiger said was unite true. 't'lie buffalo did not think so much of the lion as he did of himself. “They inn.v talk about the fierceness of the lions," he said, "and the clever ness of tigers and leopards, hut let me i tell you one thing." The buffaloes all gathered around to listen to the buffalo. “The Africah Lion, I’m told, weighs I four hundred pounds or so. That’s a good weight. Far he It from me to ( make fun of such a weight. Rut they’re not ns dangerous as we are. We should he called kings instead of the lions. How tine It would be, if only people knew this and would say King Buffalo the First, nml King Buffalo j the Hemml, nnd so on/’ "Why would they day King Huffalo the First mid King Huffalo the Sec I ond?" asked one of tlie younger buffu : loes. “Hcenttse the best, buffalo, meaning myself, would he called King Huffalo (he First, and the second best would he inlled King Huffalo the Second.” “Oh,” said another buffalo, "that Is a little different front what Is usually meant hy first and second when speak ing of the names of kings. It usually means that one king follows the other upon the throne.” "Tt means what I will hnve It mean," said the first huffalo. “We do deserve the name of king, for we are great as well as dangerous.:’ “All kings are not dangerous." said one of the other buffaloes. "In fact, kings are finite nice and pleasant, I’ve heard." “Don't put on airs.” said the first huffalo, “for we all know next lo nothing about kings. Resides, I was speaking of lion kings, not men kings. “We are more dangerous than any lion, for we dash at our enemy, and we can protect our heads and shoulders with our horns. A charge from us Is worth semeihing—to us if not to the enemy!" Reason for Dirty Hands Little Hazel—PlTl you say that we are made of dust, mamma? Mamma—Yes, dear. Little Hazel—Well, 1 gticas that's the reason the baby's bands are always dirty.
