HISTORIAN AN IRRITABLE MAN.
Freeman's Temper Flared Up Over
Intellectual Differences.

Freeman. the historian, it was said,
was apt to grow irritable over mat.
ters of intellectual difference One
day he was at the Macmillans. when
the conversation turned upon the sub
ject of Ireland. Mr.. Macmillan said
that, for his part, he was in favor of
granting autonomy.
Whereupon Freeman began to growl
at the use Of Greek word
Why can't you speak English?" de-
manded he. ''and say home rule, in.
stead of speaking Greek, which you
don't know"
One Of the guests flushed with anger
and ventured to reprove Freeman.

due their host. and at the same time
paying tribute to Mr.. Macmillan's re.
markable abilities. But although
Freeman did not apologize in so many
words. he smoothed the matter over
by humorous repetition OF his criti-
cism. Later. some one mentioned
gout. There you go again." ex-
claimed Freeman. why can't we
call 1t toe-woe?"

out in so skillful a manner that 1t does
not hurt them. They are soft little
creatures, and when they land in a
brush heap they are none the worse for
it. The hunter loses all scent of the
little kangaroos by this movement on
the part of the mother and at the most
the pursuing party can capture only
self sacrificing Mrs" Kangaroo.
Mr.. Conklin gave an amusing de-
scription of the manner in which pet
badger gets rid of fleas. "It goes to a
stream which runs through the grounds
of our winter quarters, and. standing
on the bank. 1t reaches around with its
mouth and pulls a little tuft of hair
out of it's tail. With that tuft of hair
in its mouth it turns around and backs
slowly down into the water. The fieas
naturally crawl toward the badgers
head to keep out of the water, and as
it gets farther and farther into the
stream they crawl onto it's head, and
finally onto the tuft of hair in its
mouth. When they all get there the
badger opens his mouth and let's the
tuft of hair float down stream. Then
he comes back to the bank, shakes
himself. and laughs, perhaps. to think
how neatly he did the job"

hunter and trainer. Standing in front

Conklin explained the use to which
a kangaroo mother puts the large
pouch, or pocket, with which nature
has provided her This pouch is the
cozest kind of place for little kan
garoo. When hunters pursue the
mother she puts all her babies into
her pocket and runs for dear life, but
if she feels that the enemy is gaining
on her, and that she is in danger of
being captured, she seizes one little
one after another with her forepaws
and hurls it out of the pocket to one
side of her pathway, as far as she can
throw them. She takes care to do
this only at times when the enemy is
not in sight. In this way she is re-
lieved of the weight of the youngsters
and can run faster
