Perhaps the most important wars
from the standpoint of civilization and
progress, were, first, the Greek-Per

oriental wave was prevented from
deluging Europe; second, the struggle
between the Franks and Moors
which ended at the battle of Tours
with the defeat of the Moors, thus say.

its stagnation; third, the NapoleoniC

a savage indeed when the attempt was
made to deprive him Of his ibeety.
Happily the gardens were closed at
the time. Try as they would. the
keepers could not entice or coecce
the monster in the direction Of his
den. At last the superintendent called
up an assistant whom the hippopota-
mus hated. The chief put bank note
into the mans hand. Scott" he said,

yourself to Obash, then run for 1t. -
Scott did. The animal went for him,
raging along the path and after him
into the paddock. Scott climbed the
ratings just in time, and the hippo
potamus on turning found the gate
secured behind it. Presently a press
representative arrived to investigate
the story, which had somehow be-

In his den," he was answered as they
led him to where the monster was re-
