THE SUNDAY CALL. 13 APLE S AND ANIMALVUZZK THE FOOLISH GIRAFFE-~FIND SOME OF THE OTHER ATTRACTIONS AT THE MENAGERIE---TWELVE ALL TOLD. O NCE upon a time there was a Giraffe who was born of very honorable parents. In fact, they were so very honorable that the young Giraffe imagined he bad nothing particular to do in this world but share their honor with them, and. in the meantime, enjoy himself with unbridled license, as do so many who are born of very honorable parents. d so it came to pass that his mother, having more than a passing interest in his future welfare, discovered that her offspring was forming some verv bad habits. This caused her grave concern, and. with the love for her son peculiar to mothers, she at once put away all consideration of self and devoted her entire attention to adjusting his compass. She admonished, scolded and oned with him to no avail. for he would not be persuaded of the folly of his ways. He flattered himself that mo one ¢ould carry his head as high as he without having lofty ideas, not- withstanding the fact of his being a trifie loose in his habits. His poor mother being at her wit's ends to know just what line of uhgumen! to bring to bear upon him, suddenly remembered the of the “Miller and the Ass,” and thinking that he might be impressed with its moral she proceeded to relate to him how the Ase paid daily visits to the mill, at first putting his nose in at the door and each succeeding day getting a little further until he finally got in his whole body. When the Miller resented the intrusion and told the Ass to f out he replied that he was in there and feeling very comfortable, and if the Miller didn't like it he could get out himself. Now, while the young Giraffe failed to see the moral taught by the fable, he was very much im- pressed with the cleverness of the Ass, and at once decided to make an ass o? himself and look up a miller or two to victimize. As mills and millers were very scarce in that locality some time elapsed before he discovered what he supposed to be just the very thing, but on putting his nose in at the door he found himself bridled and muzzled. for instead of a mill, as he supposed, it was a giraffe trap set by a party of hunters. Although his poor mother never had the satisfaction of knowing It, he forsool’all of his evil habits from that time forth and became the big- gest attraction in Higgenbotham’s Menagerie. * The moral of this fable is: “Don’t make an ass of yourself.” * W.
