New York has disposed of its tr0u-
blesome little black man at last. The
unassimilated citizen. whom Father
nicKkerbocker was unable to "place"
among his 100000 Of citizens, Is Ota
Benga, the African pygmy tree man.
who up to the present week has been
ensconsed In the Bronx Zoo. Benga is
tame and gentle, but the crowds that
fiocked to see him drove him wild. He
had habit of stalking the birds and
squirrels in the park with his bow
and arrow, and som etimes. when a mob
OF curious citizens pursued him, he
would turn his missiles against the
crowd. This was embarrassing to the
management of the Zoo, though luck
lily no one was injured. Incident
ally the pyemy turned into an in
corrigible CRATER. He learned the de-
lights of candy and soda water and
the fact that they could be procured
for shiny bits of silver. so he impor-
tuned all visitors to the Zoo with cries
of Money! Money! This was the
first he knew of English. If the crowd
did not respond to his pleas for small
change, Benga would talk and tease
the monkeys until panic infected all
the jungle brethren and the Zoo was
in ar uproar. Punishment was of ne
avail, for Benga took to grating as
easily as a politician or high finan-
cier. SO when one of the negro or
phan asylums of the city offered to
take care of him this week. the direc-
tor Of the Zoo parted with him with a
sigh of relief. Benga, who Is % years

are floating ~now-why? Because every
part of your body, head, arms, feet and

ported by the water. To show you what
this means we will make an experiment.
Just try TO look at you toes and down
you'll go.
From this position of floating fling your
self over so that your left side faces the
bottom. Dig in with your right hand as
far as you can reach in a straight line with

and he is his own business manager in
all these deals.
When he has a good idea for a lyric
he takes UP his phone, which stands
right beside his bed, calls up a man
ager or a musical publisher and ac-
tually sings the ditty over the wire. If
the man at the other end of the line
fancies it he gives the order then and
there.
Editors of magazines come from their
offices in New York and Chicago to
plan work with him. Actresses, par
ticularly in vaudeville, come to him
when they arrive in New York to have
new bits inherited in their acts or new
verses written for their catchy songs.
He has n memorandum book for
titles and another for ideas. His brain
seems to bubble with schemes, as his
nature bubbles happiness and sunshine.
And yet he is always glad to receive
callers from the busy world for which
he works, yet in which he can never
again move and live, and there is al
ways an extra plate ready to be laid
at the little table opposite his bed,
which you never regard as a bed of
pain, but a center of radiating, irresist-
ible GOOD nature.
And there is always a crisp salad
mixed by young Helmer's deft hands,

bar Of prejudice and draws to him men
and women alike.
