We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY

TIGERS AT PLAY
"Before we go home," said Kitty wistfully, "I would so like to see an ant-eater. ' '
"Sorry to be unaccommodating, ' ' Kiernan replied, "but they don't seem to thrive here. We're always taking one on or carting him off feet up."
' ' It sounds funny, ' ' laughed Kitty, "but it's been my childhood's dream to see one eat."
"Eat? Why, they eat like other animals. ' '
"But," persisted Kitty, "I wanted so to see one eating ants and insects. ' '
"Another dream shattered," said Kiernan, grinning broadly. "All we've ever had turned up a long nose at any kind of insects, and mostly died eating peaches and cream. That's a solemn fact," he added, as he saw our doubting looks.
As Kitty and I passed the buffalo pen, we turned and saw him grinning still, and waving a friendly hand. But we never showed by word or sign that we thought him an arrant liar, until when, in later days, he became our constant chum.
The Moving Picture Show
By D. J. GEORGE ;
When my daily toil is over, and I'm feeling kind o' blue ; When I get so awful tired, and I don't know what to do ; When familiar places bore me, and I don't know Avhere to go; It is then I seek for comfort in the Moving Picture Show.
I used to study history in the good old-fashioned way. And tried to study chemistry because they said 'twould pay; I thought I knew my Shakespeare well, but now I know I'm slow ; I've learnt a great deal more since then, 'tending the picture show.
You talk about your teaching, there's none that can compare — It's education well absorbed — that you are getting then1. No matter how the censors talk, no matter how they blow, I get the best of learning at the Moving Picture Show.
