on the stairs. But by the time that
architect had reached the fifth floor
there was whizzing noise and an

that they rapidly being exterminated and even
now there small numbers of them in existence.
Because of the rarity and beauty of these zebras
it came to pass that when Menelk King of Abyssi-
mia, secured of the handsomest specimens that
off the plains, he bethought himself of the
man of all those in the world upon whom he would
like to bestow distinctive present and sent the
zebra express prepaid to Mr.. Roosevelt, White

the mule out of business!
The zebra wonder in the way he put to-
gether His legs trim and clean cut and at the
same time had great strength. His back was short
and strong and he coupled up like quarter

his coat was unsurpassed. But with al! this he had

pretty little animals, trim deer yet strong of limb
and back They seem to have the mldness and gen
teness of their mothers and somewhat of the beauty
of their father The stripes of the zebra be

strongly when the long hair of their babyhood
has gone. They the first of their kind and the
end is in question.
1t is not known of course whether the zebrass will
be productive hybrid sterile as the mule. 1t is
not known which condition would be most desirable
in the development of useful breed. Few things
are known with relation to the final results of the
cross but it is held that in just far the imperial
zebra is the superior of the donkey, just far will
any of the hybrds be superior to the offspring of the
donkey family.
Therefore it seems evident that better and more
