The card which seems to be the most

begins to sing. There Ia another on

then nearly every boat carrying mail
from Germany has brought largo

from the other side. this double folder
having been invented on this side of
the Atlantic The novelty OF having
the whistle and the figures is distinctly
German invention.
The majority OF the cards are direct
ed to New York City to relatives OF tho
senders and were meant for Christmas
remembrances. The steamship Kron-
prlnz Wilhelm brought a large number
OF them to the city when she arrived
during the week. The idea is the same
on all of the cards. though the figures
are different. and are made to SUIT
different occasions.

MOOSE THAT tanned HERSELF.
Animal Is Thoroughly at Home on a
Hotel Lawn.


Kineo has a special attraction Just
now in the shape of COW moose
which makes herself thoroughly at
home on the hotel lawns cycling spec
tators mildly or chewing her cud in
the sun with evident satisfaction.
Early in October the COW put in an
appearance in the vicinity of the
camps of the Nighthawk Club at Sugar
Island. and very soon manifested de-
cided tendency to make friends with
the club men. She soon became SO
tame as to eat out of the hands OF her
friends.
When 1t came time to close the
camps the members thought OF the
COW moose. They telephoned to Man
ager C. A. Judkins OF the Mount XII
neo house. asking him II he WOULD
take her to Kineo. He did. and since
that time she has roamed at will close
to the hotel, evidently thoroughly at
home.
She enjoys the fresh green grass of
the lawns, watches the hustle OF iire
here with apparent interest. poses will

in fact is a most obliging and congo

keep her here as n permanent attrac-

only instance on record where a wild
moose has been tanned in this way
