could easily be displaced.
Mr.. Vehle and his wife went to a
theater and after the performance
went past the store to see whether ev-
erything was all right, for in the place
there are nearly 1000 birds and other
small animals. AS Mr.. Vehle and his
wife neared the store they heard ter
rifle commotion, in which every one of
the 1000 little tenants of the cages
seemed to be taking part.
Mr.. Vehle glanced through the win
dow and in the dim light could see two
great squirming forms threshing and
wriggling here and there across the
floor. A veritable inferno it was, with
thousands of voices sounding terror
and panic. Mr.. Vehle, realizing that
the big snakes had escaped, quickly
unlocked the door, telling his wife to
wait outside. When he entered the
smaller of the pythons was just making
for cage of monkeys that had been
knocked off balcony, and he grasped
the reptile.
With quick movement the snake
tried to form coil around his legs
but he prevented it by jumping to one
side, not loosing his hold on the
snakes neck. Dragging and lifting,

seeking to get it's huge form around
him, Vehle fought toward the box. the
net cover of which lay on the floor.
Mrs. Vehle outside could see the bat
tie, and in fear watched the struggle
of her husband. He shouted to her to
| telephone to Cy De Vry at Lincoln
park to come down Immediately, and
she ran to phone near by.
Meanwhile Mr.. Vehle was struggling
with the python, only a few feet away
from its den. A great cage of Java
birds that had been knocked off high
| shelf by the snakes lay on the floor,
| and cage Of ringtail monkeys also
lay near by, one side of it broken open
| and the two animals missing. The
screeching and cries of the birds and

sound of other voices could be heard
| the deeper and harsher cries of a pair
of balloons
While Vehle fought with the smaller
snake the other did not attack him,

about the room, knocking cages down
and seeking to break into them. 1t was
little after midnight when vehle sue

The big python, still at liberty, had

Aided John Paul Materially.

so it seems that Willie Jones gave
young John Paul material succor as well
as aid in securing his commission. Cyrus
Townsend Brady, in his history 'Commo-
dore Paul Jones' speaks at length on this
subject. He wrote to my father and my
self and obtained some data In regard to
IL. He says that young John. Paul, before
coming to America, was in quite strn-
gent circumstances and is said to have
lived for nearly two years on the small
sum of $50 Brady says: Tt is probab le
that his poverty was due to his inability
to realize on his brothers estate and the
difficulty in getting return of his West
Indian investments on account of the I'M
settled conditions
In regard to his name Brady says: 1t IS
claimed by the descendants of the Jones
family of North Carolina that while In
Fredericksburg the young mariner made
the acquaintance of the celebrated Willie

leading attorneys and politicians of North

were people of great prominence in that
