CALLED UP MR.. C. LYON.
Only Made More Trouble for the Man
at the Zoo

call c. Lyon Maine slim" This was
the memorandum that clerk in one of the
departments found on his desk the other
afternoon. The note appeared innocent
enough and there was nothing about it to
indicate that it was any different from
other telephone memoranda; but you can't
always judge a thing by it's looks.
The clerk had been absent from his desk
for several minutes looking up a reference
in another room, and when he returned the
note had been mysteriously placed on his
table. The mystery about it was that after
the atmosphere had cleared NO one knew
how the note came there. The clerk i'm
mediately reached for the telephone ana
told central to give him Main S17-M The
obliging miss responded promptly and a
conversation something like the following
then ensued:
rs this Main S17-M?'
Yes, this is the Zoo"
This Is Mr.. b; l want to speak with
Mr.. c. Lyon"
Sea lion!" The clerk almost dropped the
receiver for the two words sounded like a
room full. Say what's the matter WI with b
you? I'd just like to express my opinion
OF the bunch of smart alexis around this
town at close range. You think you're
mighty smart, don't your"
wrong wire. This is Mr.. b, and want
to speak with Mr.. C. Lyon. There was a
note left on my desk"
20. you're easy, you are. Another one Of
those innocent ninnies. A note left on your
desk asking you to call up the sea lion. eh !?
Well, were not furnishing a telephone for
the sea lions at this season of the year.
l m getting tired Of this jolly business Cut
1t out: Every five minutes for the las:
three hours this phone has been ringing
for the qualification Of a bunch Of smart
boys who want to talk with the sea lion.
It's mighty poor joke and ia like to tell
you fellows what l think of you to your
face"
IT didn't mean to jolly you. But there
was a note-b-r-r-r-r-r,'
And the connection was cut.
The expression on the face of the clark
during the conversation was made up OF
lightning changes. 1t was learned that the
phone at the Zoo had been kept busy dur.
ing nearly the whole afternoon by calls
from various parts Of town. all Of the par.
ties asking to speak to Mr.. C. Lyon" The

a noted pedigree. He Is from the kennels
of Mr.. Pierpont Morgan. and was presented
to Gen. Corbin by Mr.. Clement A. Griscom

named He is very much attached to fhe
adjutant general and is miserable when out
OF his company. He got in the habit of &C.
companying him to the Office every day
and for long time was successful In pass
ing the watchmen at the doors of the de-
partment. Finally Captain Baird. superin-
tendent Of the building, saw the dog In
General Corbin's office and informed him
that the animals presence was an infrac-
ton of the rules. General Corbin was sorry
for the dogs sake. but said the rules must
be respected. Thereafter the dog accom-
panied his master only as far as the en-
trance to the War Department and then
trotted home by himself. Incidentally. Sec

Recognized a Genius.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie takes some pride In
relating a story, which shows that he was
the original discoverer OF the wealth-ac-
quiring proclivities of Charles M. schwab.
The incident happened some years ago.
Mr. Carnegie wanted to cross a mountain
in Pennsylvania. and a youngster Of rather
hardy appearance offered to take him over
for fifty cents This Mr.. Carnegie thought
too much. and offered half the amount An
argument followed. and Mr.. Carnegie be-
came interested to see just how long the
young man would stick to his price. He
was finally compelled to pay the nrty cents,
not because the ride was worth it. he re-
marked. but BECAUSE he could not get the
reduction he had been insisting upon. 81

greatest Of Them all Is monarch of the
forest, with, its fputer branches sweeping
the ground In a circle 120 feet across, with
limbs as great as ordinary trunks OF trees,
and bearing e iffrden OF aerial ferns and
air pants Upon their bark. This vener-
able tree Is supposed to be the largest live
oak in Florida. Enormous grape vine

lose themselves amid the quarter acre OF

Used to Beat His Wife.
Maybe that one wasn't a bad dinge' re-
marked the probation officer when he came
away from the basement fiat. Say, that
coon used never to think he was havin' any
fun out O. life unless he was poundn' his
wife. I'll bet she went around this neigh
borhood with her head wrapped up in
bandages for three or four straight years.
When he hadn't any other excuse to bang
her around, he'd just pound her up for
luck. But she wouldn't stand for having
him pinched and never made any complaint
against. him. He got landed few months
ago, though for trying to chuck her into
coal hole down the street. That's all he
needed-just one pinch and a threat Of the
island. He's been on the lsvei ever since
he was turned loose. Say, the first time I
dropped in on them and saw his wife with
out the bandages around her head, / didn't
know her-never had seen her without 'em
before" So --~-----
: And thus the probation officers tour went
for the remainder. of the afternoon, and
until darkness fell. He visited nearly two
dozen humble homes, and found things
going well, in all Of them. On the streets he
met scores Of the persons whose names
were on his probation book, and had a word
or SO with all of them. He was only COM
PEELED to threaten one of them a man who
was on, probation for drunkenness, and
whom he found standing in front Of
saloon In somewhat gafrulous state.

he said sharply to this man.. you're get
tin sudsed up, see. and about four more
balls and you'll be standfu for another
pinch. Ed..-that Pounds this beat is wise
to you, and you want to look OUT
The man uttered string of apologies
and started heme. 1t was plain that he
had a wholesome respect for the power OF
the probation Officer.
Thus the probation ofncsr- keeps his eyo

corning the alleged lnvaldity OF the
naturalizations by the territorial
courts Of Utah In It's attempts to re.
ply to the facts and legol citations OF
the "News" on this subject, It contra.
diets its own statements. and muddles
the matter in such a grotesquo manner,
as to excite pity as well as wonder as
to its meaning Here is its last effort
in this direction. 1t needs no com
ment OF ours:
"a silly and wlllfully perverted con-
temporary comes to the defense OF

IL IT PEACE NowP

Dispatches from Sofia indicate that
the Balkan situation is becoming more
peaceful II this is correct the re-
cent Russian note must have had It's
effect. The essence OF this note was,
that II war broke out between Turkey
and Bulgaria, they would be per.
mitted to fight II out between them
selves, but the victor would be de-
rived Of the fruits OF the victory I'm
der the circumstances, we presume
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria would be
anxious TO commence an enormously ex-
pensiVe conflict. Turkey had the ex-
perience Of fighting for nothing In the
war with Greece, and cannot be deslr-
Gus Of having similar experience. The
European powers, which sanctioned
this note, have their selfish and con-
temptible motives for permitting the
Turks at this time to drench Mace
DOMAIN soil in blood and sprinkle Il
with ashes Later on II may appear
that this Is the greatest diplomatic
blunder For the final struggle be-
tween the two forces that meet In the
Levant, must come some time, II can
be postponed. but not prevented. And
who knows but that later the Turks
win be better prepared for a fierce
struggle than they are now? According
to all reports, remarkable movement
Is going on in the Mohammedan world
for union OF the dlsunlted forces
Professor Nalino Of Naples has studied
this question thoroughly, and bis opin-
ion Is, that the conquest OF Algeria
and the ensuing contact with the alb
horred "Roums" tRoman Catholics or
Chrlstian) not only have aroused n
new effervescence OF zeal through all
Mohammedan Africa, but given pre-
ponderant Importance TO the hither-
to desplsed Mohammedan fraternlties
Now, Professor Nallno says. fully 95
per cent OF the Arabs Of North Africa
are affiliated with one or another Of
these fraternities, and in all of them,
religious zeal Is kept alive by hatred
Of the Christians Thus PAN
Islamism, which event ten years asu
was a mere Utopia, may now become at
almost any moment reality 1t would
suffice, he asserts. for half score OF
the great chiefs, meeting at Mecca at
the time Of the pilgrimage, TO agree up
on time and method, and all Islam,
from the Atlantic to the Malayan arch
ipelago, would unite In an uprising
against christians" Europe may some
time wake up and find herself face 10
face with a problem more difficult 70
deal with than It is now.
