In last weeks paper there APP
peared an article about pelicans
that reminded me of the one we
had here several years ago. He
had broken wing and was al
lowed the freedom of the park.
The way this pelican would strut
about was very funny to see. To
the patients who were convalesc-
ing in the park, he was the source
of much amusement, and some
times annoyance. One day, as one
of the patients was taking nap,
with his hat over his face to shield
his eyes from the sun, the pelican
gently removed the hat, and then,
with an exulting squawk, he pulled
the mans nose. This caused the
other patients to laugh uproarous-
". In fact, they laughed SO much
that they grew fat-and we'll.
We had great difficulty in get
ting food for this pelican. He

ing credit, be it said, the result of
their interference has been in the main
beneficial to the human race.
When the AngIo-Saxons were roam
ing the woods, naked, painted savages
in search of food, the Jews were lend
ing money to the Roman projects.
Later on, when Richard Ceur de
Lion returned from Palestine and
found all England in state of practi-
cal anarchy from the misdeeds of his
brother John, Jews lent him the money
to restore order and to solidify his
kingdom. Still later, when the great
Frenchman had with French money
built the Suez Canal, and there was
great danger of France controlling the
route to India, Disraeli, with his Jew
ish wit and by the help of his Jewish
connections, bought out the khedive's
allotment and practically presented
England with the canal, and with it
the real control of Egypt.

would not look at salt herring and
cod. We finally let him 60 hun
cry for four days, and then bought
a couple of Lake Superior trout,
weighing about seven pounds each.
The Deputy Warden thought these
we're too big to take whole, so he
had one of the fish cut in two and
given to his highness. The peli-
can looked at the pieces of fish,
then at the man who cut them,
and then walked away as tho he
had suffered the worst injury of his
life. 1 was then called upon to
stake an oar" so to speak, and see
what l could do. I took the re-
naming fish, gave it dip into the
fountain, and then tossed it to the
pelican. He caught it like an ex-
perienced catcher, blinked his eyes
as he swallowed it, and began to
look for more. I tied together the
fish that had been cut and tossed
it to him. This also disappeared.
This pelican could catch any
thing. However, one day he
caught cold and died. We were
not sorry, for fresh fish were
scarce, and Lake Superior trout
we're too expensive to feed to such
a hungry bird. S1NBAD.
