HIPPO PETE IS "CONNED" into

After Two Weeks of Vain Strategy Big Behemoh Is Mca ed

Pete. the Bronx Zoo hippopotamus,
was ou,generaled by his crafty keepers
this afternoon and removed, against his
inclinations. fro mhis old quarters in
the antelope house TO his new two-room
and bath fiat in the elephant pavilion
For two weeks past every eXpedient

has been unsuccessfuly tried upon Pete
But he stuck to his rather CONSTRUCTED
apartment in the antelope house like a
civil service employee to a Job, He
seemed to like the antelope house. Dl-
rector Hornaday, having prepared for
Pete in the new elephant pavilion the
finest lodging ever for hippopotamus,
was naturally irked at the peevish and
unErateful disposition Of his open faced
charge.
An old animal handler. with an in
Ventive turn of mind, having read of the
unsuccessful efforts to dispossess Pete,
went up to the Bronx Zoo a few days
ago and viewed the situation. He found
the attendants trying to lure Pete to a
hig crate outside the antelope house
with trail of hay and vegetables

The box was pushed into Pete's cage
this afternoon. and a small army Of
attendants under the direction of the
old animal handler, followed II. BY
demonstrations of warlike nature they
crowded Pete until he was standing
sidewise against the wall of the cage.
And so he was hemmed in. one side

AS soon as he Gained a little, the hoX
was edged slowly along the side OF the
cage to an opening leading into the

where he was going. All he knew was
that when they pushed the box he was
on his way. Eventually the opening
appeared. He squeezed through 1t and
found himself in the crate.

him was over.
Hereafter he will receive visitors in

The San Francisco call., 1908-08-02

The system employed is sirple and ef-
fective so long as the officers do not
investigate. The beggar who has taken
up this line OF work must be OF gooo
appearance and we'll dressed. AS a
rule he operates about the ferry depot
or the transfer points of the car lines.
His method is to touch stranger, who
is equally well dressed. on the shoulder,
and after apologizing convincingly, ex-
plain that he came off without his car
fare. AS a rule, the victim will size
up his questioner and seeing that he
has all the appearance OF a prosperous
though absent minded business man
will tender th5 necessary nickel or
dime. officers m neighborhood soon
get wise to this, however. and such
beggars are kept on the move from
place to place.
A week spent in close study OF the
faces of the various beggars about the
city may be followed with eOnsiderahi.,

tenderloin district. There. IL one Is

which he sits are forced either to walk
around or to step over the extended

attracted and an occasional coin falls
into the waiting hat. This Is hardly
the idea of the Hopper" however. In
watching one beggar on Van Ness ave-
nue. for nearly two hours at time of
day when the street was we'll crowded
I saw twelve people trip and stumble
against the extended leg. OF these IL
10 glanced at the man, apologized for
their carelessness and dropped a coin
into his hat. OF others who went by,
seven contributed to the mans welfare.
Altogether the sum acquired in less
than two hours amounted, as nearly
as l could see, to about So. At no
time. however, was more than 10 cents
left in sight in the extended hat. From
other observations I would say that
this may be taken as fairly correct
example of the earnings of these men.
AS a rule they have an income double
that of the most industrious artisans.
Another form of begging which seems
TO have originated in San Francisco
and which allows the mendicant to
go well dressed and apparently in good
social standing among people is the
carfare graft. The chief impediment
in the way Of this is the necessity OF
avoiding the attentions of the police.

one hundred and twenty-four teachers

equipped for the tasks they have un-
dertaken to discharge. There is COM
paratively little sickness of a serious
character among the pupils and both

REPORT SHOWS BANKS
OF COLORADO LEADING

The repert of conditions of national
banks published by the comptroller
OF the currency at Washington, De-
cember %. 1907. shows the national
banks of Colorado to be in better con-
dition than those of any other state
in the union.
The percentage of reserve in the
Colorado national banks is 1896.
which is higher than that held by the
banks of any other state. The next
highest reserve percentage is held by
the banks of Oregon. where the per-
centage is 37.0e. The lowest percent
age is held by the banks of Michigan.
whose reserve percentage is e0.37.
The bankers of Colorado are justly
proud of the showing made by the
national banks of the state in the lat
est report of the comptroller and it
will add materially to their rating.
and should tend to increase the con-
fidence of depositors in the banks of
this state.
