GOAT FOSTER MOTHERS
FEED PARIS BABY HIPPO
French AnxieusIy Watch Growth Of
Animal Born in Captivity and
Spurned by Both
Parents

PARIS. Sept. 16.-Paris has a nature
story that is attracting more public in
terest than the Morocco crisis. Parisians
are ready to guarantee the genuineness
of the story and its curious features II
its credibility is attacked even by such
an august authority as President Roose-
velt
AT the Jardin DIES Plantes the hippo
potamus Lizette presented her conjugal
partner Khako with a fine baby hippo.
There was much rejoicing at the zoo over
the advent of the heir. and Lizette was
the only distinguished party. This is the
fourth offspring that she has borne in
captivity, and no doubt she was resent
full that her other three babies died from
sheer neglect AS Lizette is so strong
minded as not to believe in motherhood
or object to furnishing sightseers with
more hippos, this treatment is believed
to be the result of civilization as a wild
hippopotamus is careful mother.
The keepers of the zoo were ambitious
to rear the young hippo, so the Offspring
was taken from Lizette. Fortunately
there was flock of goats in the menae-
erie. and one of them was selected as a
foster mother. This being her natural
profession she did not rebel even when
the baby hippo tried to derive the
natural sustenance of her supply. The
experiment has been a great success, and
the baby which was christened Marius,
is thriving on goats milk. At first five
goats daily supplied his needs, but 1t
now REQUIRES eight to do the work, and
before he Is weaned undoubtedly all the
goats anywhere near Paris will be requi-
sitioned.

HIDES HIS GLASS EYE;
POLICE SUSPECT CRIME
Lover Fears His Fiancee viii Discover
Awful Secret

LONDON, Sept. 16.-A mysterious Turin
telegram has furnished days excitement
to the authorities here. 1t was dispatched
from Bra, a small railway junction near
Piedmont. where an excited Individual had
jumped from train and hurried to tele-
graph office with the following message:
Carefully hide eyes on the dressing
table and destroy all evidence. Burn this
message"
The telegrapher remarked on the
strangeness of the affair to a wire col
league at Turin, who also took the mes
sage to his chief. He handed it to the
prefecture. The police opinion was that a
crime had been committed and detectives
began their Investigations. These led to
the harmless explanation that the sender
of the suspicious wire had lost one eye
and wore glass one. He was engaged to
be married and didn't want his fiancee
to know his infirmity.
In Turin, where he had two reserve eyes
made, he staid at the house of his pros
pective brother-in-law, who was alone in
the secret He left the reserve eyes by
mistake on the dressing table in the bed
room, and when he reached Bra station
he suddenly remembered about his eyes,
ana knowing his fiancee was going to visit
her brothers house, he rushed to the
telegraph station, so the eyes might not
be discovered and thus spoil his suit

CHICAGO GRAIN
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. l6.-rhe wheat market was
strong all day. AT the opening the demand
was active and general, but later trade
dwindled to small proportions. The chief rea-
son for the strength was the unfavorapie
weather conditions in the northwest, where
the harvesting has been delayed and the out
standing crops injured by rain and snow The
market was also bullishly affected by the
weekly statistics. The amount OF breadstum ms
on ocean passage showed a decrease Of 1,4l6 eco
bushels for the week. and the worlds snip
ments were only 900 bushels against TO-
352, 900 bushels for the same week last year,
and visible dropped 1,147,000. The market
closed strong. December opened b@Mc to 1sQ
&c higher at 9sM@99c, advanced to s9%c and
closed at &c.
The corn market was extremely weak be-
cause of ideal weather for the maturing of the
new crop; the close was weak. December
opened ss@1Ac lower at 557sq561ac advanced
to 56alc, and closed at 567sc.
Because of the congestion in the September
delivery there was little incentive to trade IN
oats and the volume of business was small
December opened &c lower at 51hc, sold at
51Ac and then declined to 51Mc. The close was
51ls@5tAc.
Provisions were firm because of the good de-
mand for the cash product. AT the close
january pork was up &c at $3.50 lard was a
shade higher at $3.50; ribs were unchanged

WOMAN TEACHERS
SCORN FIRST LOVE
THEY CALL 1T "MoMENTARY
FASCINATION"
Sir James crichton-Browne's Label OF
"a Species Of Cerebral commo-
ton" Meets with Ready
Response

| LONDON, Sept. 16-The dissection of the
emotions of first love by Sir James erich
on-Browne, who labeled them, unroman-
tically, as "a species of cerebral commo-
tion," and 1.-The stirring of some hitherto
dormant association centers by an appro-
pirate affinitive impression" caused much
commotion among The feminine delegates
to the recent international school congress
at South Kensignton.
The question uppermost in the discussion
was whether love at first sight should be
accepted seriously or merely regarded as
a temporary malady of the heart, inevi-
table, but shallow with the fickleness of
youth. Although the women declined to
be interviewed on the problem, some of
them consented to write brief anonymous
Impressions" of which the following are
samples:
Only Momentary Fascination
Love at first sight must not be regarded
as serious or permanent. Nothing more
than a momentary fascination. Cannot be
dignifed by the name of love.
The heart must be probed before one ac-
cepts such sudden love.
Such impulses cannot be regarded light
ly, as they are distinctly painful
1t has happened to the writer, who can
speak of its seriousness
Full of pitfalls for the unwary. Arises
from a physical affinity; opposites mu-
tually attracting each other.
Such passing infatuations are bound to
lead to contretemps sooner or later.
The success of love at first sight depends
upon whether the action is begun by a
woman or a man. A woman is an infinitely
surer judge of character than man.
believe 1t comes once in every life, but
it would be terribly inadvisable TO, marry
on 1t.
Patients Should Be Watched
Patients suffering from this malady-for
it is malady-should be carefully
watched.
The most beautiful phase of life. 1t hap
pened to the writer's parents. They met
in a bookshop, were introduced and mar
riage took place almost at once. Lived
happily ever after.
1t has not come to me, but have found
1t most interesting to watch young peo-
pie under its influence Whether it lasts
or not is a matter of character.
If could only bring myself to believe
that such love was real there would
still be some interest left in life.
Regarded too seriously by girls and not
seriously enough by men,
1t will last just as long as the world
lasts-or as long as men are men and
women are women.
Young people laboring under first love
should call in the advice of older and
wiser people.
