WHY THE HORSE TREMBLES Asking Zeus To Improve Created and Showed Camel, Him, Him the God the “Father of beasts and of men!” so spake the horse, approaching the throne of Zeus—“I am said to be one of the most beautifui animals with which thou has adorned the world; and my self-love leads me to believe it. Nevertheless, might not some ee in the still be improved?” ' “And what in thee, thinkest fats admits of improvement? Speak! I am cpen to instruction,” said the induigent god with a smile. “Perhaps,” returned the horse, “1 should be fleeter if my legs were taller and thinner. A long swan neck would not disfigure me. A broader breast would add to my strength. And, since thou hast once for all destined me to bear thy ‘favorite, man—the saddle which the well meaning rider puts up on me might be created a part of me.” “Good,” replied Zeus, “wait a moIment!” Zeus, with earnest countenance, pronounced the creative word. Then flowed life into the dust; then organ- ized matter combined; and there stood before the throne the ugly camel. The horse saw, shuddered and trembled with fear and abhorrence. “Here,” said Zeus, “are taller and thinner legs; here is a long swan- neck; here is a broader is the created saddle! breast; here Wilt thou, horse! that I should transform thee aiter this fashion?” The horse still trembled. “Go!” continued Zeus. “Bevinstructed, for this once, without being punished. But to remind thee, with occasional compunetion, of thy presumption—do thou, new creation, continue!” Zeus cast a preserving glance on the camel. “And never. shall the horse benold thee without trembling.” Fr Ort Lessing’s Fables_ Only Its Walls Now Crumbling Dust. later, but the walls have remained to this day. is If surprise be noted over the locatiom of tue theater, it is only necessary to point out that in the middle of that we have few contemporary criticisms from unbiased pens upon the artistic worth of the thespian representations.

Without saying a word, he picked up a newspaper and pointed to the stock quotations. Right ‘there that Niobe-like who patronized the enterprise At that day’ the name of Washington might have stood against the world, and many young men at least considered that it would do them no harm to follow their leader to the theater. If we can believe what evidence is available, dramatic managers in those days had some illumination and _ inspiration, as well as being mere purveyors of entertainment. The supply of plays was meager and not of high class, according to modern standards. The theater was ill appointed and poorly lighted. But the actors and actresses seemed to have had some spark of divine afflatus, for they re- ceived Borah a long, sad story about the robberlike practices of western people in general and Idaho men in particular. “My husband was a traveling man,” she explained in a iachrymose voice, “and one night in Beise City some of your people gave him teo much drink, ‘so much in fact, that he didn’t Know what he was doing.
