Yes, I’m spoken of as a “new specimen.” But am I so new? For all you know I sat in the top of a tall tree and got the tip of my tail wet in the same flood that nearly drowned Noaly Or maybe I was on board the Ark. Anyhow, I’m now in the London Zoo, and they call me “Prince.” Prince Fiddlesticks! I’m just a modest little monkey like yourseli—a Colobus monkey; whatever that may mean, WHAT THE CHILDREN SAW AT THE 200 UCY went with Ivor to the zoo | A and a right glorious time they had. Once they were very nearly quarreling in the mon- key house because Lucy said that one bald-faced monkey looked like Ivor’s cousin.. Ivor was quite annoyed, but nursie kept the peace by saying that a mischievous monkey was next door to a naughty girl and neither of the children cared to say anything more for some time. They had a ride on the donkey, stared at the flamingo end the ant-eater stared at them and decided he preferred ants. Then they had some buns and peanuts and aft- er rode home in a trolley car. After tea, Lucy was being un- dressed by her mother when she ex- plained about the gqnt-eater staring so much.and said how glad she was that she knew better than Ivor what an animal with a han was. “That silly Ivor)” she said, “called him.a seraph.” “Dear me,” exclaimed the’ mother, “That was strange!"”* “Yes,” went on Lucy, ‘And alt the time he meant: giraffe. I explained to him that’ seraph was something in the Bible and always files.” Lucy's that it is generally those who are al- ways trying to put other children right who know the least of all, It nearly made Lucy cry. “God,” said mother, “gave us all we know not to help us fee! superior but 60 we may help others who’ know less. Perhaps if they work hard at leir lessons they may grow into men and women who are so wise as to be able do teach others.” . By the time Lucy heard all this she was ready for bed and prayer an‘ as her mother sat sewing in the next room she heard Lucy softly saying: “Dear Lord, O help Ivor not to be s@ conceited and so scornful. Lucy - Good Morning! Good morning it is! Lam Sandy and J live in the Zoo, where I see thou- sands and thousands’ of children’ just like you. Isn't it nice to be gazed upon as I am? Well, that depends. When a little Miss looks you right in the face and says, “How ugly!” it doesn’t make you proud of yourseli— indeed it doesn’t; take that from me. But I think it must be jolly nice to be a.small “human” with good clothes, lots of eating, plenty of playmates and a chance to make something of oneself. Come, now, think it over! FREE MONEY, THEIR PREFF Jack and Jill went up the bill To get their favorite eats, Jack cried, “My, I want some ple.” But Jill beamed, “Give me sweets!” All Summer maples gave no hints That they were really busy mints; But, in the Autumn, lo behold! They drop a coinage of pure gold! Good Morning! Tam laughing at you. Maybe you Laughing Monkey, and I live in a big cage. funny!

N That had been accomplished centuries before his birth, besides, his name wasn’t Columbus, being plain Smith. If the renowned Christopber had kept his hands clean when a boy, that made another point of difference, for the present Chris. topher seemed scarcely to know of the discovery of common soap, though regularly reminded, mother looked up smiling for an in stant. “But,” continued her daugh- ter, “That was not the worst of that ignorant Ivor, saying that a giraffo was a seraph, because all the time the animal was a camomile,” and Lucy laughed in utter:scorn of her playmate. Her mother laughed, too, she was laughing at Lucy. “Why, dear,” said her mother at last, “you were as wrong as Ivor. The word you are trying to say is not camomile hut camel and the an- imal that 1 8 like a camel and has one hump is a dromedary.” Never in your life have you seen such a crestfallen little girl as Lucy and because she was humbled her mother took occasion to explain a great many important things to her. She told her that few children know as much as they think they know and is not a bad little girl only she thinks she knows a little better than Ivor. Please make us both humble and willing to learn for Thine honor and glory, Amen.’”~ Then remembering that all good children try to get to sleep as soon as possible after being put to bed,she Do you crave rubies?

He knew his mother's cleanly care of food, and it eased his con- science somewhat, With renewed confidence in his ability as a discoy- erer, down he went again, and boldly attacked the second crock. Quickly withdrawing bis hand, he found it covered with pickle brine. The third crock was empty. His mother returned just as Chris- topher started on his final voyage of discovery, speak.
