though If this be accomplished success
fully, he takes kindly to captivity, and
often lives contentedly for many years.
In fact, a single specimen existed in
the Geological Park in London for over
twenty-eight years.
Hippopotami in captivity do not re-
quire the excessive care and attention
which are usually necessary for the
well-being Of tropical animals. One
factor which is of considerable advan-
tage in this respect is the fact that
the animals lack the restlessness and
nervousness SO commonly found in
wild creatures. Though terrible fight
ers If aroused they are eyen-tempered
and fairly intelligent, and learn to
obey the word Of command Of their
keepers. They appear to appreciate
kindness and seldom If ever required
punishment. sa
Hippopotami are purely herbivorous,
and in the wild state feed upon grasses
various water plants, rice, millet,
maize, and similar growths. This diet

Very likely you have not heard OF
Chula, Mo. This is not strange, be.
cause Chula has but recently been
placed upon the maps of state whose
citizens insist upon being Shown
and who refuse to give proper cult,
walton to their credulity.
It is not exactly correct to say that
Chula has been placed upon the maps,
for on one bright red-letter day in It's
lexicon it was thrown upon the maps
in a bright red splotch by country
editor. This editor came to the city
the other day as the guest Of the st.
Paul railroad. He occupied an en-
tire drawing-room car, ate rich food
and drank sparkling wines and re-
ceived adulations from the colored
porter all the way from Chula and
back again at the expense OF a soul
less corporation"
The man who compelled the map
makers to take notice Of Chula en-
Joys the not uncommon name OF
Smith 3. H. Smith.
Smiths great opportunity came
when the st. Paul put the Southwest
Limited train into service between
Chicago and Kansas City. The train
passes through Chula on it's eastward
and westward fights, and there were
things about it that made great i'm
preston upon Smiths imagination.
He watched the fight Of the South
west Limited as it tore great holes
in the atmosphere Of Chula, and then
wrote this about the train:
1.-THE new train on the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul railway passed
through Chula for the first time Sun
day night, about three hours after
dark. There was no hesitation at
Chula town, at least none perceptible.
There are no high places in Chula
town, hence we question whether she
ever touched the track. She just rip
ped great fiery hole in the darkness
and left the atmosphere heated steam
hot for second, then whistled for
Mantle or Chicago, we are not GER
tain which. II Central had not been
closed, we would have telephoned to
Chicago to see If she hadn't run clean
through the Union station. She is sure
'nuf 'hurry-up train Chicago Is
only about three miles up the track
now. She is a CLEAN Of summer sun
light, vestibuled and electric lighted
from the cowcatcher clear back
hundred yards behind the last coach.
She is knee deep with velvet carpets,
and her cushions are as soft as q
girls cheek. She is lighted to daz-
zle and heated to FRAGILE. She was
built to beat the world and her Gorg-

eous splendOr makes us chuckle to
think we have pass on her. She
goes so fast that the six porters look
like one big fat niger. She is called
The Southwest Limited She stops,
going both ways, at Chillicothe, and
you can get on her there, but you'll
have to hurry"
In the gratitude of his heart the
general passenger agent wrote the
poet-editor that whenever he desired
to come to Chicago he would be more
than pleased to cause the Southwest
Limited to pause long enough at Chula
to take him on and again to let him
off. The offer was accepted by wire,
as Editor Smith does not believe in
toying with fortune nor flirting with
opportunity. Then he wrote a piece
for his paper, as everything that hap
pens, II anything does happen, in
Chula is news, and told the citizens
that he was going to Chicago on the
limited and as the guest Of the gen.
eral passenger agent and Of the road
AS might be expected, the entire
business Of Chula was suspended the
following day and every man, woman
and child not bedridden was down to
the depot bright and early. The Chulai
band in full uniform was there play
ing suggestive pieces about conquer
ing heroes, and Chulas mayor revised
his last Fourth Of July "oration" to
fit the occasion. 1t was gala day
for Chula, and the editor had to tell
them with becoming modesty how he
had achieved greatness. @
About the time he reached the
spread-eagle stage Of his address
there was a long, mournful wall pitch
ed in a minor key which sounded like
the expiring war whoop of an Apache
Indian. 1t was the Southwest Limit
ed hailing Chula, Mo. Editor Smith
grasped his new $2.75 suit case firmly
by both straps and waited, all a-trem-
BILE with excitement The band be-
gan a furious fanfaring and the citi-
zens of Chula held their breaths.
There were two more long walls, fol-
lowed by two short ones. as the lin
ited's mogul swept down upon Chula's
only grade crossing, cloud Of blind
ing dust, an answering "toot" to the
tower man as he dropped the soma
phore indicating clear track and a
faint moan was borne upon passing
breeze to Smith and to Chula's popula-
ton as the mogul whistled for "Nian-
tic or Chicago, which,"
Smith, standing disconsolate with
grip In hand, and with Chula's popula-
ton gazing seemingly with million
eyes clear through him, didn't care

in captivity. They are fed every day,
usually early in the afternoon, on
fresh grass or hay, various vegetables,
and bread. They have very healthy
appetites, and one can imagine the
quantity Of food that hippo" can
consume, when one considers that the.
stomach Of a large specimen will mea-
sure as much as eleven feet in length.
The hippopotamus is heir to few
troubles. Natural attrition keeps his
teeth, which grow throughout his life
time, within proper bounds. As he not
only spends most Of his waking hours
in the water, but often sleeps there
also the frequent dimensions keep
his thick skin in healthy condition.
The water must have a temperature Of
not less than fifty-five degrees, and
must be maintained at this point the
year around. With the exception Of
the usual attention regarding the
cleanliness of the, habitation, other
necessary care includes merely the
preparation Of his food and the regu-
lation of the temperature.

csu Hippopoamus Menaser CITY,

While few menageries or geological
gardens include hippopotami among
the members of the animal world
which they contain, the general public.
is nevertheless quite familiar with the
appearance and characteristics of the
great ungulates They have been de.
scribed in word and picture by in
Vulnerable naturalists, historians,
and writer's, even of the earliest times.
We find unmistakable reference to
them in the records of the ancient
Egyptians, and to-day there is little
doubt that the behemoth of the Bible
was identical with the hippopotamus.
The Central Park Zoo of New York
City, is particularly fortunate in the
possession Of three splendid speci-
mems, a pair Of older animals and a
young one. The pair, Caliph and Miss
Murphy, are well known, not only to
those directly interested in these mat
ters, but also to the reading public, for
the huge brutes have been described
and pictured in various publications.
Caliph, the great male which is the
subject of the accompanying interest
ing engravings, has been in the Cen
trail Park Zoo since 1889, while his
mate, Miss Murphy, has been included
in the collection for somewhat short
er period. These two have proven re-
markably prolific, and have presented
an admiring public with eight healthy
offsprings, and these, with the excep-7
ton Of the young one at present in the
Park, have been sold to other menag-
cries. This is not an exceptional case,
for strangely enough these curious
beasts thrive well in captivity, and
breed not infrequently. Were 1t not
for the difficulty formerly experienced
in securing original pairs, they would
to-day be far more common in ZOO
logical parks. Needless to say, it is
very difficult to capture the hippipo-
tamus in wild state and transport
the animal uninjured to civilization,

Thinks They Are Safe.

In the spring term Of the past year
the athletic young women Of Smith
college developed a passion for base
ball. In conversation with distin-
guished visitor at the college, Presi-
dent L. Clark Seelye spoke Of the
fresh enthusiasm which the students
were manifesting in the national game.
The visitor, having his own ideals
Of intelligent gentlewomen, looked
somewhat distressed at this announce
ment.
Aren't you afraid" he asked, that
baseball will have tendency to make
the girls masculine?"
A humorous expression stole over
President Seelye's face. "Masculine?"
he echoed. my dear friend, IL you
could never have further fears pitch
ing the ball you would never have any
further fears on that score"

as a look at his fellows the Chula

his sanctum, where he sent telegram
which read: when it comes to four

Needless to say that it was all a
mistake. The general passenger agent
