Eir Prices for Wild Animals.

Because of the difficulty Of getting 1t
to America, and of keeping it alive
after it arrives, a good giraffe is quoted
at $1,000.
Next to the giraffe, in the aristoc-
racy of cost. cone the rhincceros and
the hippopotamus, worth from $4,000
to $4,000 each. If dealer could breed
these animals he could get rich; but
the big mammals rarely breed in cap
tlvity. About the only place in Amer-
lea where hippopotami have been
known to raise their young is in the
.nenagerie in Central Park. New York.
A chimpanzee of size is worth $4,000.

of the late Mr.. Crowley. Chico or Jo-

monkey kind are most uncertain prop

can be bought very cheaply.
One can buy nice young baby ele-

good animal is worth from $500 to
$4,000. An elephant docs not COM

the beauty of his countenance, the ele-

Pretty soon Beryl ran In a great

never heard the little chuckle it gave,

But when they reached the boat

nowhere to be seen. They said

said Beryl. "And now I'm sure /

Congressman Jones of Virginia told this story of his father: Directly after the war Jones senior was sent to the state senate. An old slave who had belonged ts him was also elected to the senate. The two drew adjoining seats. Senator Jones was very courteous and in addressing his former slave always called him senator. The old negro stood it for some time and finally said: {: "Massa William, I don't like dis sena- tor business.

 The request was granted, and while Senator Jones was in his library the her senator was down in the kitchen visiting the cook.

He had never met her before, but somehow they seemed to know each other very well by the time they had spoken a few words in the course of the short wait before the guests paired off on their way to the dining room. He didn't know what she thought of him, but he knew that from his point of view she was about right. And he was a man difficult to please.
