Ah! that was the difficulty. rt's ask this hippopotamus fellow," said the Kangaroo. "He's big and wise, and if we ask him he may let us travel In his company." "Oh, yes," said the Monkey; "it's so nice to be in the society of big men. You feel as if you amounted to something." 5R The Hippo That flayed Golf. So the hippopotamus was asked to de-' cide this most Important question of the hat. I should wear it first," said the Monkey, Mon-key, "for it is most becoming to me. I am so much like a man.V "But I am taller by far," interrupted the Kangaroo, "and it is more becoming becom-ing to my style of beauty." " "Let me see the hat." said the hippopotamus, hip-popotamus, pushing thm both aside roughly, so that the Monkey, in terror, climbed a tree, and the Kanearoo sat meekly on his haunche?. "You are both too Fmall and childish to wear such things. Only men like me should wear it."
