CARE KILLED THIS
HIPPOPOTAMUS

1T has been proven from the ex-
perience Of showmen and animal train
ers time and time again that animals
can take care OF their young much
better than human beings" said George
Patterson, who has charge of the ZOO
logical department of the Barnum and
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. which
exhibits in Wilmington on Friday.
$50 far as / know, there Is only one
place I'm the country where they raise
hippopotami, and that is the Bronx
Park, in New York When the first
hippopotamus was born the mother
developed the habit of taking the baby
under the water and holding it there
for 20 and 30 minutes at a time. Now
there was a bunch of wise keepers
that watched the performance num-
Der of times, and became greatly agi-
tated. They feared the old lady
would drown the little one, so rather
than endure the reproaches Of the
park authorities, or the agony OF sea
Ing its death, they took il from the
mother. II was nowhere but on deck
for that little fellow from thence on.
the wise ones having concluded they
knew the game of bringing up baby
hippopotami better than the mother.
The result OF their care and atten-
tion was an hippopotami funeral, with
the attendants and the old beast for
the chief mourners. The next time
the trainers were wiser and when the
mother took II under tho water for 20
or 80 minutes at a time their pulses
behaved in a normal way, and the lit
tie fellow was allowed TO soak. This
one grew and was sent to Cincinnati"

EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old l started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. II. f. Budke,

oh, PshaW!

One of the consuls to Persia, during
a recent visit home, said at a dinner in
Chicago:
THE present shah will never be the
equal of his predecessor. What q char
acter the late shah was. He never
opened his mouth without saying
something worth repeating.
Lady Drummond Wolfe once got
permission to visit the shah's harem.
She took friend with her, Miss
Blank, who was about to be married.
The two English women wandered
over the splendid palace, among the
hundreds of beautiful girls, and pres
emily the shah encountered them.
"'Come here he said to Miss Blank,
In his crude French.
"She approached. He looked closely
at her.
"'You are about to be married?' he
said.
Eyes, your highness.'

attempt to pick the window whence
Williston's shot had come. Mary
could not keep back little womanish
gasp of nervous dread.
Grip your nerve, Mary" said her
father. That's notwithstanding
from down there. Just lie low and
they can do nothing. Only watch,
child, watch! They must not creep
up on us. Oh, for moon!"
She did grip her nerve, and her
hand ceased it's trembling. In the
darkness her eyes were big and
solemn. Sometime, tomorrow, the re-
action would come, but tonight
Eyes, father, keep up your own
nerve" she said in brave little voice
that made the man catch his breath.
Again the heavy minutes dragged
away. At each OF the two windows
crouched a tense figure, brain alert
eyes in iron control. 1t was a fright
full strain, this waiting game. Could
one be sure nothing had escaped ones
vigilance? Starlight was deceptive,
and ones eyes must needs shift to
keep the mastery over their little
horizon. 1t might well be that some
one of those ghostly and hidden SEN
tinels patrolling the lonely homestead
had wormed himself past staring eye
balls, crawling, crawling, crawling; It
might we'll be that at any moment a
sudden light fiaring up from some
corner would tell the tale of the end.
Now and then could be heard the
soft thud of hoof as some one rode
to execute an order. Occasionally,
something moved out by the sheds
Such movement, if discernible from
the house, was sure to be followed on
the instant by a quick, sharp remon-
STRANGE from Williston's rife. How
long could it last? Would his nerve
wear away with the night? Could he
keep his will dominant? If so, he
must drag his mind resolutely away
from that nerve-racking. still, and I'M
seen creeping, creeping, creeping,
nearer and nearer. How the stiffness
weighed upon him, and still his mind
dwelt upon that sinuous, flat-bellied
creeping, crawling, worming! God, it
was awful! He fought it desperately.
He knew he was lost if he could not
stop thinking about it. The sweat
came out in big beads on his forehead,
on his body; he prickled with the heat
of the effort. Then it left him-the
awful horror-left him curiously cold,
but steady of nerve and with will of
iron and eyes, cats eyes, for their
seeing in the dark. Now that he was
calm once more. he let himself weigh
the chances Of succor. They were
pitifully remote. The Lazy S was
situated in lonely stretch OF prairie

Cause of seaman's Bad Language.

At Southampton (Eng) a seaman
named Johnson had to appear before
the borough magistrate on a charge Of
making use of bad language in St
Mary's street. In explanation he
said he was married in st.
Marys church, Southampton, many
years ago. He left Southampton after
the ceremony and was away several
years. Coming back the other day he
went to look at the church, and find
ing there was still no steeple to it he
did in his righteous anger use some
very strong words. In fining the de-
PENDANT ten shillings and costs the
chairman of the bench said many peo-
pie had said strong things about such
a beautiful church as st. Mary's hav-
ing no steeple, but they did not use
such bad expressions as the defendant
had
