ant Ericsson at the fort the English
commissioner arranged to get the
skin and skull from the native hunt
ers, and these natives have just made
their promises good.
Measured by the skins now on the
way to the British museum, the hella-
dotherium is as large in body as a
full-grown OK. ProportionateIy, now
ever, its neck is not larger than that
of horse, this fact being reconciled
because of the animals witherS rising
only few inches higher than the
hind quarters. The head is large in
proportion to the body, its outline
suggesting the head of the South
American tapir. The nostrils are two
long Sits, completely covered with
hair and resembling the nostrils of a
giraffe. The lips apparently taper to
a point. There are no front teeth in
the upper jaw, as the animal is true
ruminant, and the front teeth in the
lower jaw are so small and feeble as
to suggest that the creature, like the
giraffe, must possess a prehensile
tongue for feeding. If this is not
the case, then the long and prehensile
lips secure most of the animals food,
which consists of leaves.
The peculiar markings of the crea-
lures skin are its most attractive
points. The cheeks are yellowish
white and the muzzle is brown. The
forehead is a vivid red, narrowing
down into a thin black line continued
along the ridge of the nose to the
nos trils. The long, asslike ears are
of deep reddish brown, with black
silky fringes. The neck, shoulders,
stomach and back are deep reddish
brown, which in parts has almost a
crimson tinge. The hind quarters and
hind legs, down to the hooks, and
the front legs from below the elbow
to the wrist joint are boldl,,- striped
in purplish black and white, the white
having here and there faint touches
of orange. The hind legs from the
hook downward are of creamy col
or. The front legs are also cream
color, but a bold black line runs down
the front of the leg in an oblique
manner. The fetlocks of all four feet
are black and cream color The tail
is bright reddish brown, with a black
tuft at the end. There are three
horn cores similar to those of the
giraffe. BY long disuse these horn
cores have degeEerated into rounded
bumps on the skull, two of them be-
ing situated a little above the eyes
and one at the beginning of the nasal
bones.
As to the habits of the animals,
they are found only in the densest
forests, travelling and feeding in pairs.
They are timid and not easily stalled,
the natives most often taking them
in pitfalls. The flesh is excellent for
food and the natives set great store
by the skins, which are used for or
namental purposes.

When Willie came home last night
he was more convinced of the use
lessness of schools than he ever was
before. Asked the nature of his latest
trouble, he explained that postpone"
had been one of the words in the
spelling lesson of the day. The teach
er had directed the pupils to write
a sentence in which the special word
should appear.
Along with others, Willie announced
that he didn't know the meaning of
the word, and so could not use it in
a sentence. The teacher explained
that it meant delay" or put off,
and encouraged the youngsters to
try. Willie's thoughts were on pleas
anter things than school, and his
made-to-order sentence was: BOYS

INSANITY OF SUDDEN WEALTH
Some Queer Things Arc Done by PeO-
pie who Have Become Rich
Unexpectedly.

People who. after years OF grinding
poverty, suddenly come into great
wealth sometimes put their new for
tunes to peculiar uses. Certainly they
should be allowed to do so without
harsh criticism, for the strangest
things done by the newly rich are done
to realize a dream which has cheered
the heart when the days were full of
trouble scarcely to be borne, and
helped to Tighten the great load of
poverty.
Awhile ago an Englishman, who all
his life has never been able to keep
his feet shod properly, suddenly came
into a large fortune. The first thing
be did was to give an order for shoes
to several shoemakers. so arranging it
that he could put on a new pair of
shoes every day in the year. How
often he had said to himself in his
years of poverty, when his toes were
sticking out of his shoes or the water
coming into them: "Oh, if ! ever get
any money. won't l just blow myself
on shoes" The opportunity came, and
the first thing he did was to indulge in
an orgy of new shoes.
A miner who came into an unexpect-
ed fortune gave a great feast to his
workmates. Often when the miners
were eating the contents of their dim
ner-pails down in the dim galleries
of the mine he had thought of what
feast he would like to spread there for
himself and his fellow workmen. SO.
when he came into his fortune he had
one of the galleries of the mine lighted
and decorated, and great and costly
feast served there to the miners. at
which he presided.
Another man who suddenly became
rich bought all his particular friends
a complete outfit of clothing, even 90
ing so far as to furnish each of them
with a gold watch and chain. Then he
invited them to a famous feast, at
which all sorts of expensive luXuries
were served. When the guests reached
their homes each found an envelope
with $50 in it, and note saying that
the money was to pay for a short va
cation. This generous man, unfortu-
nately. died in want and misery not
long after receiving mis- windfall.
A rather romantic way of spending
money was that adopted by the build
er of the Beggar's bridge. which spans
the River Esk. When poor he had the
greatest difficulty in meeting his sweet
heart who lived on the opposite bank
of the river, owing to the Esk often be-
ing swollen and so impossible, even to
good swimmer. The ardent lover
when distraught one day, registered
VOW that if ever he became rich he
would take good care that no Eskdale
lover should ever suffer again in the
manner he suffered. He became rich,
and fulfilled his vow by the erection of
the Beggar's bridge.

PUZZLES WISE MEN.
Strangest of Living Beasts Dis
covered in Africa.
Scientists Do Not Know Whether to
Glass 1t with the Horse or Ante
lOpe-Creature Had Been
Considered Extinct

Sir Harry Johnston's discovery OF
the helladotherium, living in the for
est depths of the Congo Free State.
and his shipment of skin and two
skulls of the animal to the British
museum has excited a good deal Of
interest among students of fossil re-
mains in both hemispheres. Remains
OF this gigantic creature had been
found in Greece and in Asia Minor,
but it was generally accepted that the
creature was extinct. The discovery
of the creature in the Semliki forests
may be a further inspiration to
those enthusiasts who have long
nursed the hope that somewhere the
mammoth may yet be found alive.
From the fossil bones of the hella-
dotherium it had been classed with
the giraffe, but these remains had
given no hint of the popularity of
shape and markings found in the
okapi, as the living creature has been
called by the Congo natives.
When Henry NJ. Stanley passed
through the Congo forests years ago
he heard stories of strange, horse
like creature sometimes found by the
natives. From their descriptions he
was in doubt whether to class it with
the horse or the antelope. Commits
sioner Johnston had been interested
in the creature, and when he was sent
to the Congo Free State he went on
the hunt for it. Dwarfs of the for
ests were his first informants, and
they were of the opinion that it was
a kind of zebra. At Fort Mbeni the
Belgian officers and garrison con-
tirmed the story. Through Command
