MISS JOHANNA.
A Monkey That Will Not BE Photo
graphed.

There was probably no n member
of the Barnum circus troup who was
more missed on the recent trip to this
city than Chico, the late lamented
partner Of Miss Johanna, who is now
the only gorilla in captivity in this
country. Miss Johanna still occupies
the big double a 6 with the movable
glass front that used to serve as a
home also for her loving partner in
captivity. Just to fill up Chico's va
cant cage, a large mandrill has been
put into the compartment.
He is not at all Johanna's mental
level, however, and she looks upon
him with u~ndisguised contempt, not
even paying him the compliment of
jabbering baak when he jibber5 at her
through the bars. He is q gorgeous
specimen, this mandrill, with a flaming
red nose that would be an ob;ect les
son for a temperance lecturer; ultra
marine whiskers, and an lridescent
patch to the scat Of his trousers They
call him sunset Willie" hut his

A BIG PELICAN.
Its Amusing Struggles With n
Rubber Band.


Several hundred people were in
tensely amused yesterday afternoon
at the queer antics of the usually
dignided pelican who swims around in
Stow Lake. at Golden Gate park. OF
course, a small boy was at the bottom
Of =, and the bird is undoubtedly still
wondering how it all happened.
The pelican's enormou bill. with its
membraneous sack, has made the bird
an object OF more than ordinary in
terest to visitors. So much bread was
thrown to it for the sake of seeing
the big bill open and close, that the
pelican grew quite tame, and yesterday
it swan up to take a piece of bread
from the hand of a small boy on the
bank.
The youngster had a rubber band in
his hand. This he slipped over the big
birds bill. The peliLA1l at once felt
something decidedly unusual had hap
pened. He tried to shake the band
off.
The band didn't move; then the bird
opened its bill, but as it gave its head
an impatient shake the muscles re-
Taxed. Snap" the rubber ban got
in it's work. and the mandibles came
together with a noise like the slapping
of Stats.
The big bird looked surprised. Its
round eyes were focused on it's bill,
which it again essayed to open But
the rubber band, being near the end,
had too great a leverage, and the
mandibles could get separated foul or
five inches, only to audibly snap to-
gether.
A most amusing struggle ensued.
The birds bill opened, only to snap
shut. Each time the pelican was more
surprised than before. 1t tried to rub
the band off on it's back. Then it
stuck it's bill under water and in the
mud. Still the band stuck.
Then the unhappy bird made for the
land. AS it walked it lifted its big
broad feet u~nnaturally high. and after
going a short distance brought its
right foot down on it's left. Then it
couldn't pick the left foot up.
The ungainly bird, with its bill stuck
heavenward, teetered for awhile, and
then lost its balance and fell over.
This released the foot, and the peli-
can started for the water, where it
continued to struggle with the tena-
cious band, while the crowd fairly
shrieked it's applause.-San Francisco
Call.

hanna is in love with him, but Mat, IN

query her La Portuguese, the language
he always uses to her, and th@n re-
plies: mo, she says she is not in love,

Mat feeds her by hand, keeps her
brushes, combs and looking glass
where she can get them when she
wants them, and in the intervals of
work will sit by the cage or lean on
the wheel, jabbering softly in Portu-
guese to her. and Miss Johanna replies
with half-articulate grunts and sur
giles, apparently understanding every
thing hat is said to her.
Johanna has a pensive. widowed
look, and seldom gets a or kittenish.
Her allowance of eggs is about a
dozen and a half a day, and she han
dies them as deftly as a society belle
eating chocolate creams Mat cracks
the end of the shell and hands it to
her, and Miss Johanna carefully picks
out the broken fragments, and, tip
ping it up, swallows the contents at a
single gulp. She is also very careful
about swallowing orange seeds, and
bites them in half for the kernels and
spits out the pips.
She's very delicate" says Mat,

When asked how he thought she
would stand laparotomy if she did get
the fashionable malady, he replied;
"Well, I'd want to be away from here
when it was done. They can't get a
photograph of her. because if they get
a camera close enough to the cage
she always takes it inside to see how
it's made, and she wouldn't do a thing
to the surgeon that tried to chloroform
her"

has what looks like some very good

LOVE IN A HOSPITAL.

That brown-eyed nurse with wavy hair,
And voice Just like the voice of June,
Is false TO me-she'S false, l swear!
And tickle as the changeful moon.
She lays her velvet hand on me
And smiles and talks so softly sweet,
And makes me thrill, n seems to be
So panied that I'm not on my feet.
And Their when I'm on fire for her
And strive loves Impulse to resist,
She thrusts a glass thermometer
Into my mouth and feels my wrist.
Then scores she down upon the chart
A rising fever; though I'm sure
'Tis wrong that she who steals my heart
Should likewise take my temperature.

LOVE IN
The Proud Beauty is Waiting Till
Her Prince Returns.

hCE LIAhCC ICluEASs
It was evening after a glorious sum-
mer day. A s~tylish-like maiden, whose
beauty was of the Castilian type, sat
on the doorstep lost in meditation. 1t
was only a humble cabin on the banks
of the Arkansas river, but she was
not proud. Her mother was inside,
declaring that she'd be doggoned to
skunks if she wasn't gittin' tired of
coon meat an con meal. but the
maiden heard her not. The old man
was digging a thorn out of his heel
with his jack-knife and growing that
he'un was plum ripe, ready to be git
tin to some place whar a man with
ambition could have two shirts a year,
but the maiden eve moved a toe.
The old yellow mule, who was weary
of looking for grub where grub was
not. leaned up against a corner of the
shack and raised his voice in lamen-
~tation, but the Castilian beauty
seemed to have been carved out of a
hunk of Vermont marble. Could moth
ing o her?
rs that you'n, Sal?''
1t was a gentle voice from the other
side of the t-dutiful brush fence in
front of the shack. It's owner was a
young man Of Apollo outfit and
beauty, and his tones thrilled the
m%editative maiden like a snake bite.
She was coy. She wanted to blush
and giggle and still her futtering
heart, and then she arose and shyly
advanced TO the spot where his h5ofs
were glued.
'Sal!'
'Jim!"
The old mule brayed again, and the
old man came to the door and threat
ened to knock his head off if he didn't
consider to stop that ere Internal
yawp, but the lovers heard only their
own softly spoken words:
SAL, how much do yo' love me:?'
Heaps
How much is heaps?"
"More'n a mewl kin draw"
and luv yO' heaps on heaps!'
He strained her TO his bosom. She
was awfully shy. but she liked it.
Man-like, he would have been strain
ing her yet had she not suddenly recol-
lected that there were other fish TO
fry.
80 you'un is going out into the
world to win riches and a name?" she
murmured, as she got her breath
again.
you bet I arr was his heroic reply,
land I'll do it or bust a lungi'
"And when you'un has accomplished
that yere job you-you-?"
81 will return and make you'un my
BRIDE
For suah?"
Honest Ingun."
Wont shine UP to no other gal?'
Not a shine"
"And it will take you'un about thirty
y'ars?"
81 reckon twill, but you'un viii be
patient and true to me?"
Il wiIIr' she firmly replied, as she
looked up into his manly face.
Then, as their eyes filled with tears,
he strained her TO his breast once
more.
Again the yellow mule cried cut in
p~laintive tones that his commissary
department yearned for grub.
Again the old man came to the door
in response and dod-rotted his wrin-
killed. hide to Texas.
Then they separated-he'un to go
forth and carve a mich in the temple
of ~fame-she'un to continue right on
in the path of being a proud Castilian
beauty in an Arkansaw river shack.
She'un waiting for he'un. She'un has
still t~wenty-nine years, seven months
and sixteen days to wait for he'un,
but he'un is her mutton.-Detro1t Free
