Imagine a sore throat nine feet long.

famed. This is what Miss Lucy has
been going through. though she is now
convalescent. Miss Lucy Is still in
her teens and is as graceful creature
as ever drew the breath of life. She
is the giraffe in the big Zoo at Glen
Island. and has just passed through
an experience that. fortunately. does
not fall to the lot of many of her Kind.
How Lucy caught cold has not been
determined by her physician. Head
Keeper Frank Healey, who attended
her, for she is modest and retiring
creature. and preferred to suffer in
silence rather than to attract attention
to her condition.
Before her physician and keepers
realized that anything had happened
to her she was suffering from severe
cold of the influenza type, complicated
with sore throat. Water flowed pro-
fusely from her big, beautiful brown
eyes and her pretty nose. Her vocal
cords and every other part of the
throat could be- felt swollen and hard
under the skin.
Added TO her trouble was a thor
oughly developed ana most ex'
cruciating cough. which seemed al
most eternal in its slowness, probably
owing to its having such a long dis
lance to travel-nine long feet-and
every inch of it sore and intiamed.
When her condition was discovered
Mr.. Healey decided that something
would speedily have to be done, and
as temporary relief a mild spray OF
pint of cocaine was administered.
This seemed to give great relief to
the poor creature, and she appeared
grateful and gave herself up to the
| treatment with the docility of good
child. She shed less tears after this
and showed less signs OF extreme
pain.
1t was necessary, however. to pro-
| feet the throat, and bolt of dry
flannel was procured. Men perched
on ladders wound the flannel care
fully around the throat until the en-
tire nine feet was completely covered.
There were over thirty yards used,
and when the work was completed
Lucy had so changed in appearance
that her own mother would not have
known her. Then dressing gown or
flannel was constructed to cover the
rest of her person. 1t fitted her form
tightly and added to the extreme
rotesqueness of her appearance.
The work of spraying the interior OF
the long throat was difficult. An at
