BABY ANIMALS ACTS
MAY PROVE KIPLlNG A
MERE NATURE FAkER
Young Java Monkey and Camel Rorr
In Captivity Are to Be Intro
duced to Each
Other

One of the most interesting tests to
find out whether Rudyard Kipling is a
nature faker' or not is to be tried al
the Eastlake Park zoo in the near fu-
ture
This test includes the little two ami
NAL babies which arrived in sunny
Southern California on the same day
namely December 1S, 1907.
One is a camel and the other is a
monkey.
Now Kipling, in his world famous
Jungle Book" where he describes the
habits of the various animals of the
jungle and of Mowgli, the Man-Child
adopted by a she-wolf after being
thrown away by his own parents, goes
on to tell how the other animals will
pay no attention to the monkeys. The
lion, bear and other kings and rulers
of the jungle will not look up in the
trees at the monkeys who Chamber
among the branches. The latter are
ignored.
Now, the question in the mind of the
keepers of the camel born at the Ven
ice Midway plaisance, and named Fri
day. and of the Java monkey John
Hooligan, born the same day at the
Eastlake Park zoo, is this: VIII the
baby camel really notice the baby mon
key when the former Is brought to Los
Angeles and introduced to his fellow
exile?
If the camel passes and gives the
jungle password of Good hunting" as
Kipling says animals do when they are
friendly, then the theory of the English
fiction writer that the sother animals
pay no attention to monkeys will be
exploded.
But if, on the other hand, the camel
disdainfuily strides off then the theory
of Kipling that the monkeys are ig-
norad by other animals will be upheld.
And the many American idolizers of
the famous Eurasian story teller will
feel that they have won another point
for their hero.
A good deal of interest has attached
itself to the Los Angeles pet monkey.
which bears the great name of John
Hooligan Morley. H. Gerson, the ami
NAL keeper at Eastlake zoo, says this
is the first Java monkey, full OF half
breed, ever born on the Pacific coast.
Furthermore it is one of the rare in
instances where monkey of that breed
survives, the full or halfbreed Java
monkey born in captivity generally
dying even when carefully nourished.
John Hoolgan. Morley is half breed,
his father being Rhuses monkey and
his mother Java monkey.
Condensed milk fed to him through
bottle by Mrs. Gerson, wife of the
keeper, did not agree with him. But
his collie stopped when he was given
cows milk. He sucks his thumb, has
gone through the unhappy process of
teething and in other ways is like other
babies.
When months old he weighed about
six ounces and was taken to visit
Mayor Harper and the. members of the
park commission at the city hall.
His Los Angeles admirers claim that
John Hooligan Morley will make that
baby camel hump himself If the lat
ter does not recognize the Java -Rhuses
halfbreed, and thus proclaim Kiplins
the rankest of mature takers"

Southern California does possess a safe

of man the harbor is pre-eminently
suited for the accommodation of ships

Confidence

Once there was a man who bought
a beautiful gold brick for which ne
paid the sum of ten or fifteen dollars,
although it looked exactly as if 1t were
worth ten or fifteen thousand.
Then he took it home and, opening
his ledger, made an entry which ma
terially swelled his assets.
Then he mortgaged his home and
bought an automobile and season
ticket for the opera and gave large
dinner at Sherry's. And why should
he not, for was he not a rich man and
could he not prove it by his ledger?
And then one day it occurred to him
to examine his gold brick a little more
closely. Whereupon he found that it
was worth only ten or fifteen cents.
He lost confidence Immediately, and
the effort he made to get rid of the
brick brought on a severe panic.-Puck.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
What is Causing the Increase of Catarrh
in Lanrens

Catarrhal troubles are increasing, not
only in Laurens but all over the country.
it, germ life in the nose, throat and
lungs must be destroyed, and this can
be done only by breathing Hyomei.
There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when Hyomei is used; no tablet or
liquid mixtures whereby the digestion is
often destroyed and intestinal troubles
added to the horrors of catarrh.
Breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, its
healing balsams penetrate the most re-
mote air cells, destroying the catarrhal
germs so that quick recovery follows.
The complete outfit costs but 81. 90 and
Laurens Drug Co. agrees to refund the
money should Hyomei fail to do all that
is claimed for it.

Laurens County Teachers Institute.

The County Board of Education OF
Laurens county has arranged for sum
mer Institute to be held in the Graded
school building in Laurens, beginning
Monday, June 22d. This Institute will
continue for two weeks at least and
probably four if the teachers in atten-
dance so desire.
Supt. O. B. Martin, State Superin-
tendent of Education, has appointed
Prof. r. A. Dobson, of the Laurens
city schools, as principal of this Insti-
tute. Prof. Dobson will be assisted by
Prof. Jas. H. Sullivan and Miss Gar
lington.
Algebra, civics, drawing, grammar,
principles and methods of teaching and
possibly other subjects will be taught.
Any subject desired by a considerable
number of the teachers attending will
very probably be given.
The main purpose of this Institute
will be to emphasize methods of i'm
parting information and instruction
more than the acquisition of knowledge
from the books studied. The textbooks
adopted by the State Board of Educa-
ton will be used, but only as basis for
the work. Conferences and round table
discussions will be held in which all
teachers will be free to take an active
part.
All teachers and prospective teachers
in Laurens county are especially urged
to attend. Reasonable board can be
obtained at various places. Let all who
desire to perfect themselves in their
ability and methods as teachers come
and help make this one of the best In.
stitutes ever held in Laurens county.
