Tiger cried, "no more we'll brook + This despot's cruel reign; +Our charter lies before us--look! + The plan of our campaign!" + + + + +Mr. Fox's Armoury. + + +Directly Brother Fox was told, + He ransacked all his stores, +And soon was making bags of gold + And selling guns in scores. + +The Brown Bear bought a blunderbuss; + And when they saw the arm, +The Bunnies all cried, "Don't shoot _us_! + We've not done any harm!" + +The Tiger thought revolvers best, + So he bought half a score; +"No guns I've had," said Fox, with zest, +"_Went off_ so well before!" + +"Don't fear, my Bunnies, you'll be shot, + Though each has bought a gun; +I'll whisper this," said Fox: "they've got + Blank cartridge ev'ry one!" + +[Illustration: THE ARMORY] + + + + +Raising the Standard. + + +From lair to lair the news soon spread, +And one and all leapt out of bed, +And sallied forth, with loud hurrays, +The Standard of Revolt to raise. + +The Bear looked fierce, the Crocodile +Put on his most bloodthirsty smile; +The Leopard and the Wolf were there, +And cheers resounded in the air. + +The Tiger roared a lengthy speech, +And called, in loudest tones, on each +To do his best when came the fray, +Not be afraid, nor run away. + +Cried he: "Now, onward to the field, +To make this tyrant monarch yield!" +"Charge, Leopard, charge--on, Tiger, on!" +Were the first words of Rebellion. + +[Illustration: RAISING THE STANDARD OF REVOLT] + +Next morn a Scout the Camp alarms, +The Lion's soldiers fly to arms. +"The enemy advance!" he cries, +"And means to take you by surprise!" +In Leo's Camp, on Zootown plains, +The utmost consternation reigns. + + + + +In Leo's Camp. + + +This startling news the peaceful Camp + With preparation fills, +Resounding with the soldiers' tramp, + The noise of many drills. + +The Sergeants shout, the General storms; + All round one sees and hears +The trying on of uniforms, + The clank of swords and spears. + +The Fox pretended, by and by, + To be deaf, dumb and lame; +But Jacko, with a placard "Spy," + Quite spoilt his little game. + +Field Marshal Hippo shouted out, + "Arrest him on the spot!" +If he had not escaped, no doubt + He'd promptly have been shot. + +[Illustration: A SPY IN CAMP] + + + + +Preparing for the Fray. + +Preparing for the coming fray, +The Camp was busy night and day; +The Rhino had his horn re-ground, +Because it had got blunt he found. + +The Elephant had his tusks, too, +Re-sharpened till they looked like new; +In fact, the Ape's new grindstone strong +Was working nearly all day long. + +All day the Camp was never still-- +With marching to and fro, and drill; +And quite right too, since it appears +They hadn't been to war for years. + +The oldest there had never known +Such preparations to be shown; +Indeed, they'd never had, somehow, +A great Rebellion until now. + +[Illustration: PREPARING FOR THE FRAY] + +Next day took place the Grand Review, + Before His Majesty, +The troops marched past in order true-- + A splendid sight to see. + +The speech he made filled all with pride, + As brave as brave could be: +"For Country and for King," he cried, + "On, on to victory!" + + + + +The Advance Guard. + + +Then marched they forth unto the fray +A battle fierce took place next day; +I'm told it was a fearful fight, +That lasted quite from morn till night. + +Through hail of shot and rain of lead, +His Rebel band the Tiger led; +And found that when the fight was done +A brilliant victory was won. + +In vain King Leo's gallant band +(The Prince of Tails was in command) +Essayed the Rebel force to beat-- +The effort ended in defeat. + +Their cocoa-nuts, with deadly aim, +The Monkeys threw, but all the same; +Though Jumbo streams of water poured, +The enemy a victory scored. + +[Illustration: THE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE ENEMY] + + + + +The Elephant Wounded. + + +Alas! for he so bravely fought, + Poor Jumbo wounded lay; +The ambulance they quickly brought + To where he fell that day. + +"To Hospital this instant!" cried + The Surgeon in command; +"Don't let them say he would have died + If we'd not been at hand!" + +"But, wait," he said, "till I with care + Have quite examined him!" +He probed him here, and probed him there, + And tested every limb. + +"It's but a nervous shock!" he said, + "Since he's so large and fat; +You can't take him, and so, instead, + You'd better take his hat!" + +[Illustration: A WOUNDED HERO] + +Ere dusk the King's troops had retreated, +By Tiger's Rebel band defeated; +They ran pell-mell and helter-skelter, +For any place to give them shelter. + +The Elephant, though he was wounded, +Ran faster than the big Baboon did; +The Owl to Camp flew like a bird +To tell the King what had occurred. + + + + +Rejoicings in the Rebel Camp + + +Rejoicings in the Rebel Camp + Were great indeed that night; +Each tent hung out a Chinese lamp + To celebrate the fight. + +They sang and shouted, o'er and o'er, + Until their throats were tired; +They let off fireworks by the score, + A "feu de joie" was fired. + +When Wolf, who's not a marksman good, + Shot holes in Bear's new hat, +Bear never even said, "You should + Apologise for that!" + +In short, they would, as like as not, + Have kept it up till day; +Had someone not found out they'd shot + Their powder all away. + +[Illustration: REJOICINGS IN THE REBEL CAMP] + + + + +Marching on the King's Capital. + + +Next morn, with victory elate, +"Why should we wait or hesitate? +We'll march at once, without delay, +Upon the Capital!" cried they. + +"That's _capital_!" a Monkey said, +(But he at once was sent to bed!) +But, all the same, it was agreed, +So General Tiger took the lead. + +With flying flags and drums rat-tan +The Rebels' onward march began. +Cried Tiger, "Leoville one mile!" +"That's nothing!" said the Crocodile. + +But Wolf, who kept a good look-out, +Saw Private Whiskers out on scout. +"Ha, ha," cried he, "I've caught a spy-- +That means promotion by and by!" + +[Illustration: MARCHING ON THE KING'S CAPITAL] + +"Great victory!" said Wolf, with pride, + And showed his prize with rapture; +"Well done, indeed," the Tiger cried, + "A most important capture!" + + + + +The Battle. + + +Soon with the Lion's gallant troops + The Rebels were engaged; +This way and that, 'midst wildest whoops + The tide of battle raged. + +The Elephant first sounded "Charge!" + And valiant deeds performed; +The Rebels saw his trunk so large, + And trembled when he stormed. + +At first, though, neither side gained much; + But when 'twas paw to paw, +The Owl, in his report, said, "Such + A fight I never saw!" + +Said Wolf, "No more at war I'll scoff, + I think I'd best begone!" +And when the foe's last gun _went off_ + The battle still _went on_. + +[Illustration: THE BATTLE] + + + + +The Cavalry Charge. + + +But, oh! the finest sight to see +Was Leo's Giraffe Cavalry; +As down the battle plain they tore, +The Rebels saw that all was o'er. + +As on the Monkey troopers swept, +The Bunnies to their holes all crept; +The foe who set triumphant out +Was first a rabble, then a rout! + +The Owl, in "Zooland," said, next day: +"Our troops like chaff swept them away; +Their praises let us loudly sing, +Who won the day for Leo, King!" + +[Illustration: THE CHARGE OF THE GIRAFFE CAVALRY] + +The leader, Tiger, soon was caught, +And into Camp a prisoner brought; +A warning to this very day, +To all who at Rebellion play. + + + + +The Court-Martial. + + +Field Marshal Leo then and there + A stern Court-Martial held; +The prisoner, with defiant air, + Explained why he rebelled. + +"Such conduct," said the President, + "Admits of no defence; +But since you ask it, I'll consent + To hear the evidence." + +'Twas heard--in "Zooland" of that week + You'll find the Owl's report; +The President then rose to speak, + The sentence of the Court. + +"On all counts guilty he appears-- + The prisoner's sentenced to +A lenient term--a hundred years + Confinement in the Zoo!" + +[Illustration: THE COURT-MARTIAL] + + + + +The Rebels Surrender. + + +The other Rebels, when they heard +Of what to Tiger had occurred, +Surrendered everyone next day, +And threw down arms without delay. + +The Bear said, "I don't want to keep +My blunderbuss--'twas much too cheap!" +The Leopard and the Crocodile +Threw theirs upon the growing pile. + +Of loyalty each took the oath, +While Jumbo and Lord Rhino, both +Promoted Colonels by the King, +Kept watch that each his gun did bring. + +And Colonel Jumbo winked his eye +To Colonel Rhino, standing by: +"We'd be Field Marshals soon, no fear, +If we'd Rebellions ev'ry year!" + +[Illustration: THE REBELS SURRENDER] + +This done, the prisoners were sent +Off to perpetual banishment; +Forbidden thenceforth, under pain +Of death, to e'er come back again! +Oh, sad indeed that Rebel band, +That bade farewell to dear Zooland. + + + + +One of the King's Heroes. + + +T'was soon remarked by not a few + That Hippo was not seen; +The rumour ran--alas! too true-- + That he had wounded been. + +Then messengers went out and found + The hero of the strife; +His wounds with bandages were bound + By his most loving wife. + +The King himself, when he was told, + In person--came to see; +"When well," said he, "oh, hero bold, +Sir Hippo you shall be!" + +With Surgeon's skill and wifely care + He soon recovered quite; +Now there's no soldier anywhere + Like Sir John Hippo, Knight. + +[Illustration: ONE OF THE KING'S HEROES] + + + + +The King's Return. + + +With clash of brass and drums that banged, +With flags that flew and bells that clanged, +They celebrated, as you see, +The King's return from victory. + + Rejoicings reigned on every hand, + The noise was great, the music grand; + They bought up all the butchers' shops, + Gave everyone free steaks and chops. + + Buns, nuts and cakes were given away, + The children had a holiday; + His people came from far and nigh + To see King Leo riding by. + + The cavalry were there, of course, + And everyone next day was hoarse; + For 'twas not often they could see + A King return from victory. + +[Illustration: RETURN OF THE KING TO HIS CAPITAL] + +Next day the King an order gave + That he would distribute +His medals to his soldiers brave, + Both cavalry and foot. + +The medals were the very best-- + Some putty and some tin; +The King unto each hero's breast + Affixed them with a pin. + + + + +Home Again. + + +Now ended is the strife and fray, + Dispersed the Rebel train; +There's joy in Jumbo Hall to-day, + For Daddy's home again. + +Watch Mamma Jumbo's beaming face + To see him safe and sound, +Of battle showing not a trace, + Although with glory crowned. + +'Tis good once more to see him curl + His big trunk with delight, +And toss in air his baby girl + Before she says good-night. + +While Tommy vows, when he is tall, + He'll fight with might and main; +Oh, all is joy at Jumbo Hall + Now Daddy's home again. + +[Illustration: HOME AGAIN] + +[Illustration: LONG LIVE KING LEO] + + + * * * * * + + + + +_By the same Author and Artist._ + + +THE ANIMALS' TRIP TO SEA. + +The most fascinating thing of the kind we ever saw. --The Guardian. + +Is brimful of fun from cover to cover. --The Queen. + +Is extremely funny and decidedly original. --St. James's Gazette. + +A hearty welcome to the nursery will be accorded to "The Animals' Trip +to Sea." --The New York Churchman. + +The cleverest thing we have seen for many moons in the shape of +a picture-book for children. --Boston Herald. + +Cannot fail to elicit shouts of laughter from the observing little ones. +--The Boston Beacon. + + +THE ANIMALS' PICNIC. + +It is a highly enjoyable book for children of all ages. --The Guardian. + +Absolutely brimming over with wit and humour. --The Baptist. + +The illustrations should bring a smile to the most sedate countenance. +--Liverpool Courier. + +This book deserves to be a favorite with holiday gift buyers. +--Chicago Record Herald. + +Is made up of humorous rhymes and quite as humorous pictures. --The +Dial (Chicago). + +The pictures are both colored and in black and white, and practical +experience enables us to state positively that they do in point of fact +immensely amuse young children. --The Outlook (New York). + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE ANIMALS' REBELLION*** + + +******* This file should be named 17068.txt or 17068.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/7/0/6/17068 + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
