Rhinoceros at Large.

A rhinoceros that can dance is not,
like dancing bear, familiar sight.
Naturally such rhinocerOs created
sensation when, while being unloaded
from railroad car at Philadelphia, II
escaped into the street.
The beast was sent to the Geological
Garden and arrived in good health and
spirits. Twenty employees of the ex-
press company stood about to prevent
it's getting away, but when the animal
started they all fed down Seventeenth
street.
The rhinoceros went to Market street,
the men after it, thence to Sixteenth
and back to Filbert. In the short jour-
ney it passed probably hundred peo-
pie, and put them all to flight. An Itai-
ian, grinding out a merry tune on his
organ, got a shock that he will not soon
forget.
The beast has been with a circus
and can dance and do cake walk. AT
Sixteenth and Filbert streets 1t heard
the sound of the music, and began to
dance.
The Italian did not know what
brought the crowd, but he kept on turn
ing his crank until suddenly there was
roar of laughter, and he turned to
find the beast standing still, solemnly
looking at him. With terrific yell, he
dropped the crank and ran. The ami.
NAL was caught and put back into the
cage with little difficulty.

Sir Donald Smith, Lord Strathcona,

Bank. He Is also President of that
great corporation, the Hudson Bay
Company. As a director of the Cana

largest stockholders of that railroad.
he has been an important factor in de-

Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their

Georgia has a stringent law forbid

thirty days. Shortly after the passage
of this enactment Judge Lester was

and lay his pistol and fine of 81 down

The Judge paused, and lawyer Sit

neat ivory-handled six-shooter and laid
it with a dollar down upon the stand.

Upon this another lawyer arose and
laid down a Colts revolver and dollar
bill before the Judge, VINO repeated his
former observation. The process went
on until nineteen pis+"ls of all kinds
and sizes and shapes lay upon the
stand, together with nineteen dollars by
their side. The Judge laughed as he
complimented the nineteen delinquents
upon being men of business. but added
that the man whom he had seen with
the pistol had not come up and, glanc-

tinued:
"I will give him one minute to accept
my proposition. and If he fails 1 will
hand him over to the sheriff"
Immediately two men from the back

stopped to look at each other, and then.
coming slowly forward, laid down
their pistols and their dollars. AS they
turned their backs the Judge said:
