Sam Has A
Way With. Chickens
Sam, the chef par excellence
the Coq Hardy!, just outside'
Paris, can play fifteen musical
instruments, even extracting a
tune from a blown-up Pig's blad-
der tied to a broomstick! But he
has another accomplishtnent
he has a way with chickens,
He can make them fly through
hoops, `balance 'an egg on their
combs and peck his cheek a giv-
en number of times to order,
"Kiss me three times," says
Sam, to ,the little bantam,. Sera-
phine, as she balances On' a tall
pile of bottles and glasses, Three
little, pecks" he gets. "Now,
twice," he orders -, two pecks
"ant:regain" - one peck.
But Sam's crowning achieve-
ment, before an astonished audi-
ence,' is 'with the little brown
hen, Rosalie. At 'his command,
"Pendez," she lays an egg, into
his Waiting frying-pan.
"I studied the habits of hens
for years," says Sam, "and even

About Jumpers
The world's record jumpers,
kangaroos, vrh i c h can leap
twenty-five feet at a bound when
travelling at full speed, art.,,be-
coming so numerous in Australia
that they have reached,t,plagtte
quantities in some areas.'
Graziers in the western divi-
sion of New• South Wales esti-
mate their loss in sheep peoduc-
tion during kangaroo plagues at
more than $25,000,000 a year,
Some of the great kangaroos
which have been damaging pas-
tures recently stand' over, seven;
feet high and weigh more than.
800 pounds. Droves 9f, them. have
been observed in 'dry areas re-
cently travelling at 8Q. m.p.h..
Kangaroos always go about in
droves or mobs, following, ,a
leader. Thii feed in' the' early
morning, at twilight and during
the night, and :lie Alp by day in
damp, scrubby gullies' in .sum-
mer, or on dry, sandy ricties in

A naturalist pointed out some
time ago that the female kanga-
roo can keep one secret better
than any other inother,alive. A
baby kangaroo is so small at
birth, about *en inch. long; that
it could hide behind a' postage

months old or so can anyone
guess that it has.actually arriv- .. ed.

Do You Deserve
To Have A Dog?
If :You have a dog he's the best
friend you've got. For dogs are
net .only the most faithfill ani-
mals on earth but, unlike their
human owners, they never be-
tray .and act without any ulterior
Motives. Few Men "deservethe
love that a dpg is „eager to be- .
Ste* on 'then),
A dog never 'bothers whether
you are right or wrong. Rich or
poor, foolish or wise, sinner pa
saint, He loves and reveres you
as though you'd created him.
You're his pal -- come hell or
high water, :He'll, stick by you,
guarding, comforting,41e would
.sacrifice his own life for you
'without thought of glory or 're-
ward. And it would not be fool-
ish sacrifice. either. Dogs fre
quently show intelligent courage
in a crisis when humans around
them are panicking.
Such a dog was Sport, a large,
mongrel.
He lived with his master, An-
dre Minette, a woodsman
'
in Se-
•quin Falls; Canada. Minette and
his wife had a small soh,
whom Sport worshipped.
One day, returning' from the
woods, Minette was horrified to
see three wolves creeping
towards the pram where his'
'baby son Was sleeping: He stood
motionless 'frozen' 'with fear,
was helpless, But his dogvasn't.
Sport knew instinctively that
'if he tore into the wolves he
would be ripped to pieces, leav-
ing the baby at the wolves mer-
cy. So, instead, he ran towards
the wolves to attract their atten-
tion - then stopped.
He glared challengingly at
them. The wolves made a rush at
him, but the mongrel turned and
raced, away. into the forest. Min-
ette had the chance to whisk his
son out of the pram and dash to
.safety.
Sport did not return. He had
.staked his, life for the person he
loved, but not 'wildly or vainly.'
'He had made, sure first that the
'baby was safe.
