Mrs. Riehburg said the names

Antl then there was the African
king who tlecided his subjects were
killing too many lions. He pro- |
claimed a law forbidding lion k' 11-
ing. The subjects, who always hail
considered lion killing great sport, 1
loyally obeyed the law. Soon they
were knee deep in lions. The situa
tion got so bad that the citizens j
rose up in anger and thiew the
king out of office.
This was the first time in his-
tory that a reign was called on
account of game.
One l.a t Try
There was another African king
who was giving a party hi his
si,aw hut To help ulttke loom,
he put hia big chair up in th# attic.
During the party the dancing and
cavorting jarred the chair loose
and it came crashing down, nar-
rowly missing the king and bowling
over a couple of anurtier*.
Which only goes to prove that
people who live in grass houses
shouldn't stow thrones.
