"I've been asked to tell more about myself and also of the days when I was belug brought to the zoo. There has been special request for hearing of that time again, and of hear-ing whatever other news I have to tell. It seems they like me, yes, ugly though I am, old Clarence la popular 1" --Indeed," aald Master Collared Pec-cary who was one of his next door neighbors In the soo. "Now, young Collared Peccary," said Clarence, "I dont want any nonsense from you. Just because you belong to the Wild Swine family and because you art rare doesn't mean that you can be rude. No creature can be rude who has a snout like yours." "I never knew ray cousins, the pigs, were noted for their good manners," aald the Ool'ared Peccary. "That Is true," said Clarence, "I shouldn't have said that you couldn't be rude because of your snout, but I should have said that you need not put en any airs because of your snout. It's a real snout and so no airs and graces, plenso." "You talk about airs and graces, Clarence, as though I were a fairy or an elf and dnnced tny way around the zoo Instead of digging the ground and sleeping and eating as I do." "You talk too much," said Clarence, "and It Is high time you stopped." "There la no such thing as high time," said the Collared Peccary. "There Is day-tim- e and night-tim- e and twilight-tim- e and early morning time, anil noon time and midnight time and sleepy time and wide-awak- e time, but there is no such thing as high time." "Don't talk so much," said Clarence. "I am becoming angry." "Of course that Is a fine reason for me to stop talking," said the Collared Peccary, wiggling his snout. "I used to he led about the streets of Rome, which, my dear Peccary, la a famous city over in Europe. I was led about on a leash such as a dog might be led about on. I used to be stared at for I was Interesting. Ah yes, I "I Don't Want Any Nonsense." was as fine as any dog and I came to the zoo to be shown off because I was so interesting. They certainly did stare at me when I walked about the streets of Rome !" "Because you were so ugly," mut-tered the Collared Peccary to himself, but he didn't say It aloud, for he was filled with envy that Clarence had had such an Interesting experience when he was such an ugly animal. "They've got to show me respect. too." "What do you mean by respect?" "I mean that they have to be re-spectful to me, treat me politely and handle me carefully," said Clarence. "And whom do you mean when you say 'theyr" asked the Collared Pec-cary. '1 mean the keeper," said Clarence. "How can you sny 'they' when you're speaking of one person?" "I can do such a thing, but you can't. It wouldn't be correct for you, or for any one else, but for Clurence, the wart hog, It Is all right." "I suppose," said the Collared Pec-cary, "that It doesn't matter whether you speak correctly or not. Is that it?" "It Is not," grunted Clarence. "I can say what I want because I am a wart hog, and I say that wart hogs should be given rights and, in short, given their own way." "Oh," grinned the Collared Peccary, "so that Is what you mean?" "It is," said Clarence, his eyes wa-tering, not because he was sad, but be-cause his eyes had a watery look and often made Clarence look as though he might be crying. "Well," said the Collared Peccary, "now that I know that you mean one person, and the keeper Is the one per-son, when you say 'they, will you kind-ly tell me why be has to show you respect?" "" "It's this way," said Clarence. "You see people ask the keeper if he can come in my yard or in my cage with safety. And the keeper always an-swers. " 'Well, I can go In, but I've got to be careful.' "That means that he has to show me respect, nnd thot I am the boss In my own yard or home. It's a great com-fort to me, and a great pride to me that I can do as I like In my own zoo borne," ended Clarence, blinking his ngly eyes.
