Zoo He is growing to respectable size noW'
although his legs stin seem to have been bullt

about the time the German prince was here, so
THEY called him Prince Henry. They found him
one day in the straw. loudly prOclaimlng his
entry into the world, and not much larger than
a good sized dog. At first there was some fear
that he would not live his head and legs seemed
too large. but after few days he could stagger
about the yard, baaing every time he stumbled.

says that he gave no end of trouble for the first
few weeks but he is getting used to his
surroundings He is even becoming aCquaint
