Rob was a little surprised. He
had expected the prise, but hod not
been so. certain as this, and had
not decided what he would do with
the five dollars.
"How do you know it’s going to

1 A few of the more sporting kind of visitors to Jungle-
pool spent their time on the fishing pier, and the fishing
was very keen when Mr. Monk announced his intention of
giving a free pass for all the Junglepool entertainments to
- the one who got the largest “nibble.” Soon after, a shark
nibbled at the kangaroo’s line, so, of course the Kangaroo
won the prize. Unluckily, he didn’t live long enough to
receive the reward, as the shark was not content with a
nibble.’
moxes M Winserlew
Mry. Monk, however, was not one for taking an unfair
• advantage of the shark incident, so he arranged for the
vinner’s family to collect the prize. Mrs. Kangaroo and the
children came in deep mourning and went through the
< “gemony somewhat tearfully. Mr. Monk said it seemed

Hurry and get some cardboard,
your scissors, some paste and six
flat-headed paper fasteners, and in
a minute you can have the crew
of the Mary Ann hauling in the

jolly tara and they have doubtless
sailed the roaring ocean from Good
Hope to Bering Sea.
Color their suits navy blue but
leave their cape white. Then cut
them out and mount them on card-

where they are marked, but do not
fasten the strips to each other. If
you want to make it more realistic,
punch holes where the cable goes
through' their hands and string
heavy yarn through them.
Finally, when they are all
finished, move the lower strip of
paper, and the sailors will move
just as if they were hoisting the
rope over the edge of a boat.
Grizzly Bear

The last time you went to the

grizzly bear with his long, shaggy
coat and ponderous, rolling move-

"St yourdidnerknow that when
that grizzly bear was born he only
weighed three-fourths of a pound.
That to about one-eighth of the
weight of the average new-born
baby, and about the else of a pound

furry coat, but a clean, pink skin
like a baby pig.

___7 TABLE MANNERS
I was invited out to dinner ths other night, and the son
of that house all but ruined my dinner for me. When the
meal was announced, he stamped into the dining room, sank
into his seat before anybody else was seated, and began
reaching for dishes right and left. Slumped over in his
chair, his elbows on the table, he sat and gorged himself by
means of the most astounding display of bad table manners
that I had ever witnessed. It was a sickening sight. "
. There was an Angora cat In that family, too, and later
in the evening, I had occasion to see the cat, eating its own
dinner. What a difference between that cat and the boy, I
thought. Though the cat was only a dumb, four-footed

All that a toad requires is a nice

Have you ever thought about the i

you had never thought of a bone
except as an animal useful to man.
But he lived thousands of years u
before man ever thought of hitch-
ing him into a cart or riding on his "
back. The earliest horse we know
anything about was called the
Eohippus, and what we know of
him is only what we can guess *
from fossil remains. That he lived
in the Rockies we can be fairly cer-
tain since bones have been found
in Nebraska, South Dakota and
Wyoming. M
The strangest thing in a first
glance at the Eohippus seems to be
his size. He is very small, no
larger than a small dog. But the
most important thing to, science
was the formation of his foot. For
he had four toes and a tiny fifth
one. This sort of foot was very
useful to him since he ran in the
