T'a be surprised at such carelessness only I know you haven't any brains or much brain power or a great m2ny sensisle 1deas in your head. And so long as you're not so very clever I sup- pose one shouldn’t scold you for being | careless.” | “Some careless people are clever, | some clever people are careless,” said | Cousin Camel, moving his mouth from side to side and round and round in a | funny circle. | “Some careless people are stupld; | too; some stupld people are careless, | also,” he added. “But, Cousin Drome- dary, I have a reason for my careless- ness.” “Indeed?” asked Cousin Dromedary. “Pray tell it to me.” “Well,” said Cousin Camel, as he | continued to chew and move his mouth, “perhaps it's not much of a reason, | but It is a reason. | “That {s something. Not much—but something.” And then Cousin Camel began to say In a sing-song volce: To have a reason is something fine, - I need say no more, but can end thls . line. * Yet I might add that I chew all the time, And that that is the end of this, my | rhyme. Cousin Camel smiled at Cousin Dromedary and sald, winking an eye: | “Well, sir, what do you think of the | camel poet?” “I don’t belleve I'd better tell you,” said Cousin Dromedary. “After all, we still want to be friends.” “True, true,” grinned Cousln Camel, | who saw nothing to object to in what Cousin Dromedary had just said. “You aren’t as blg as I am,” Cousin Camel went on, “and you are not so heavy in weight. You can get along more quickly, it Is true. But you have two sorrows In life. One is that you only have one hump and the other is that you have no beautiful long hair as I have.” “That all depends on the point of view,” sald Cousin Dromedary. *I pre- fer having only one hump and I don’t want to be bothered with long hair. My family like to be this way. We all are and we all do alike in our country, which, by the way, Is the country of Africa.” “True,” sald Cousin Camel, “just ay we all do alike in my country, which Cousin Camel Smiled. is that of Asla. We have two humps aplece. Al yes! I have two humps, and such superb, beautiful, magnifl- cent, lovely camel humps as they are.” “I never heard any one else speak of them In just such glowing terms,” sald Cousin Dromedary. “What are glowing terms?” asked Cousin Camel. “They are terms or sayings which glow with fine, high-sounding expres- slveness.” “Oh, well,” sald Cousin Camel, “you see I can talk finely, after all.” “But it is not well to boast about yourself.” “I am kind enough to do it,” sald Cousin Camel, “so as to save others the trouble, They might be busy, you know. I suppose, Cousin Dromedary, that you are aware of the fact that my family name is that of Bactrian Camel. Members of our family often are found in a circus tent. But hcre I am, and two other members of my family, in this fine zoo.” “To be sure” sald Cousin Drome- dary, “and that was just what I was speaking about in the first place. Dur- ing the summer you took people for rides and many visitors came to the zoo. You didn't care then about your long hair at all. You didn’t mind It in the least because you looked far from beautiful and quite shorn, in fact. “But now that winter has come you let your beautiful hair grow fine and long and very few will see you.” “Ah!” sald Cousin Camel, “You think ‘we are careless because we do this way. But I must tell you the reason for it. It is because we want to save +our beauty for those who will brave -the winter weather to come and call on tus. Now, isn't that a fine, noble rea- son? Of course,” he added, with the biggest and broadest of grins covering his entire face, “it’s a family habit and we don’t outgrow a family habit like ' that, never—it’s quite impossible.” “Impossible for you, perhaps,” said Cousin Dromedary, “but still I cant help saying, ‘Careless Camels.”” “Say it all you like,” ended Cousin _Camel. “I'd racher chew than argue.” Timber for Air Castles, What Is the right kind of timber «for castles in the air?

A strange white people, with a craze for jewelry that surpasses that of even the orientals, has been discov- ered in the depths of Algeria, deep in the heart of the mountains in north- ern Africa. These peoplg are called “White Arabs,” and are known as “Shawai Berber: by neighboring tribes. European scientists believa they are descendunts of an ancient white people who fled to these hills during times of trouble long ago. During a certain ceremony which marks the end of the winter season all the young women and girls bor- row from old relatives every bit of jewelry they can obtain, and appear literally weighted “down with silver. The native jewelers cast silver as well as beat out bars, and make some charming pleces. Their silver chains are the envy of the Arabs, Suspicious customers often bring their own sil- ver to the jeweler and watch him make pieces they order. One of the most astonishing bits of Jjewelry they wear is a set of ear- rings so heavy that they cannot be held by the ears alone. Silver chains are attached to them and fastened to the headgear to help carry the weight. Another favorite bit of jewelry Is a silver case in which is carried a writ- ten charm to keep away sickness and sorrow, Airplane Caught Train.

The race ended at Chowehilla, where the train stopped and Shields climbed aboard. Flag Day Observed Since 1889, Flag day, June 14, is the anniver. sary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by the continental congress in 1777. The day has been more or less observed since 1889, In that year George Bloch, a New York teacher, commemorated the birth of the flag with special patriotic exercises by his kindergarten pupils. Patrlotie socis etles took up the observance and Flag day has become well established. Imitating Hard Wocds Not Difficult.
