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.
