ELEPHANT COLLECTS PENNIES
NEW YORK zoo ANIMAL
TAUGHT CLEVER TRICK.
Finances Treats-Falls Down When
He Pays Urchins Sixty Cents
for Sour Apples.

NEW YORK. October Up to yes
terday before lunch Dick Richards,
keeper at the Bronx Zoo. believed that
the high road to riches lay in simply
catching an elephant hanging a tin
bank on the animal and then teaching
him to beg money from the public and
ring bell whatsoever he put penny
in the bank. Richards faith in the
integrity of elephants was a sublime
thing. but since yesterday he holds ele-
plants to be not only immoral. but ca
pable Of almost human imbecility.
In short, it was Richards who year
ago taught the Bronx elephant Congo
to beg pennies and put them in a bank.
for which the huge beast has been ia
nous ever since. 1t was the keepers
practice when the bank was full to take
Congo across to the soda fountain near
by and buy him quart of ice cream
out of the days receipts.
Learns Value of Money.
At this rate Congo soon learned the
value Of money, and also began TO love
it-not for it's own sake, but for what
it brought him. When Richards went
for his luncheon yesterday he carefully
emptied the bank, leaving Congo with
a vacant tin box but a sharpened in
tellect and the love Of the root of all
evil firmly implanted in his pachyderm
heart.
When the keeper had finished his
meal he FASTENED back to the faithful
Congo, but on the way met four jubi-
liant urchins. who We're dividing so
cents. One of them had bag o: di-
minutive sour apples, and was saying
that he ought TO get at least 50 of the
cents. as the whole matter had been

Canned Tomatoes.

For canning ii IS absolutely essential
that the vegetab les should be sound and
not too ripe. for single spot of decay is
likely in canned tomatoes to spoil the en-
tire mass. The various relishes and
pickles made from green tomatoes are
usually left until September or even the
LIST Of October.
There are several methods OF canning
tomatoes. the simplest being to stew, AS
the success Of canning depends upon alb
solute sterilization, the first work TO be
attended to is tine jars. Wash thoroughly
in soda and water, tops and all. then ster-
iize by bringing the water to boil. Use
only fresh rubber rings, for if the rubber
has stretched the sealing will not be per-
feet.
Have a large kettle of rapidly boiling
water on the stove. and having washed
the tomatoes fill a wire basket with them
and plunge into the kettle of boiling wa
ter until the skins begin to crack. This
will take about five minutes. Ihen

GRAND OPENING OF
A GREAT ENTERPRISE

Tomorrow will be a great day with
the Sperry and Hutchinson company,
and incidentally those who are col
lecting green trading stamps will enjoy
a treat when the company opens It's
beautiful show rooms in the Forester
building on South Broadway.
Manager Dillman has been a very
busy man during the past few weeks,
but the past week was the most siren
uous In his history in shaping up of
affairs for the grand opening tomor-
row, when he expects to entertain thou
sands in the beautiful rooms devoted
to the display of trading stamp
premiums.
The Los Angeles store is No. 28S and
it bears the distinction of starting with
the largest list of merchants of any in
the country.
The Sperry and Hutchinson company
is one of the really great mercantile
firms of the United States with a paid
UP capital of $1,000,00O with surplus
of $250,000.
AS an indication of the wonderful
business it need only be said that dur
ing the year 1908 this company pur-
chased and disposed of over $6,OOO,OOO
in high class premiums.
This is the first time the company has
established headquarters in Los Ange-
les, although it has been operating for
the past twelve years in San Francisco
The Sperry and Hutchinson green
stamps are good the world over, and
stamps secured in New York may be
redeemed in Los Angeles.
At the opening tomorrow a twelve
piece orchestra will render a select
program, and souvenirs will be given
to all.
