JUNGLE JINKS.

ABOUT A CARRIAGE DRIVE WHICH WAS NOT A SUCCESS

1. No, dear people, this is not Doctor and Mrs Lion going out for a drive in their carriage. If you think it is. you are mistaken, because it’s only Storky Junior and one of the Lion cubs dressed up. "Let’s fasten Neddy the donkey on to the perambulator and play we’re carriage folk,” suggested Bruin’s little brothers. "Oh, yes.” chirped Storky; “I’ll find the Doctor’s college cap and gown, and Cubby Lion will dress up in Mrs Lion’s bonnet.” It was all great fun. and soon everybody was ready for departure.

2. Everybody except Neddy! Would yo.j believe it, that aggravating donkey refused to move forward an inch! In vain Bruin cracked his whip and cried "gee-up!” Neddy only replied. “Hee-haw!” and then squatted down on his hind legs. That made the pram tip up, and Storky nearly fell' out backwards.

3. Then all of a sudden Neddy jumped up and dashed through a gateway into a garden where Dr. Lion and his good wife were having tea under a tree. "Oh. you bad boys! Where did you get that hat?” roated the Doctor. "Why, I declare they have my new bonnet and best lace sunshade!” screamed Mrs. Lion. The young rascals were caught’in the act. this time, and you may g.tess there there was no bread and jam for supper that evening.
