HUNGRY DOGS DEvoUR FISH
Young Fishermen Catch Fish, but &c
Home Without Trophies
First Prize)

First Prize)
Dear Aunt Laurie:
I t. was o'clock in the evening and
the rain was beating steadily
Il down. We had cur boots, coats
and rain hats on. With an umbrella
in one hand and a fishing rod in the
other, we started for Echo park.
We had a lantern and got to the
park at o'clock. We fixed our UNI
brelas in the rocks to shelter us and
began to bait our hooks. Now and
then a fish would jump out of the
water. We cast our lines and waited.
We each had a cork for a float. There
were three boys and two dogs in the
party. The boys were John, Walter
and myself.
At 8 o'clock Johns. cork seemed to
have gained strength, for it began to
go up and down furiopsly. We shout
ed to John to pull it up, but he was
so excited he ran to get more bait.
Walter grabbed his line and pulled it
up. To our surprise there was nice
fish about eighteen inches long.
was just reaching over to get some
bait when / felt a jerk. Pulling 1t
up, found it was a beauty about the
same length as Johns.
We put the fish into the basket. We
wanted to go home then, but Walter
wanted to catch a fish. We sat down
upon the bank and kept our eyes on
the cork We thought we would see
the fish go up to the hook and smell
the bait. In fifteen minutes we de-
cided to go home.
1 went to the basket to put the bait
away I noticed the cover was turned
over. Going farther l saw not two
nice fish, but an empty basket. We
began to get nervous, imagining we
could see some one running away with
our fish.
We got everything ready and called
the dogs. When Prince came up his
mouth was covered with blood When
Rover came he had the head of fish
in his mouth, so our thieves were dis
covered.
We did not do anything to the dogs,
but got home as fast as we could. We
got home at $50 o'clock, after a few
hours experience at Echo park. Very
sincerely, your nephew,

be from 1S to % feet high. They are
the finest pair of young giraffes in cap
tivity. The only giraffe ever born In
captivity was born here. 1t only lived
five days.
OF all the animals I liked Zeekoe

and his name is sea COW in Dutch.
They have also the best natured ele-
phant the largest herd of buffalo, the
finest male lion, the largest and old
est polar bear the smallest zebu, ana
the largest alligator. / could never

The largest goldfish 1 ever saw were
in a pond there. They were from
inches long TO a foot. They were as
golden and pretty as the sun.
OF the birds l liked the poll parrots
best. One of them called me bad
girl. There are not only birds ana
beasts but there are many pretty how-
ers and trees.
There is one specimen of every tree
that will grow i'm that climate.

ANIMALS PERFORM ODD TRICK
Keeper Has Many Pets, Including
Elephant Who Uses Telephone

Dear Aunt Laurie:
HI HE animals l have seen in Penn
sylvania at the parks are not like
II the ones that we have here.
l suppose you know the beautiful
maxim about them: animals are
such agreeable things. They ask no
questions; they pass no criticisms"
But this is not telling you of the
animals / have seen.
Such beautiful large lions, such
stately deer, such dear little Brazilian
monkeys. There are tigers. hopards,
mountain lions, pumas. elephants,
zebras and so many others, dear
auntle. 1 can't name them all.
They are taught by their masters or
keepers many interesting tricks, among
them the famous trick the elephant
does.
The keeper has a telephone handy
for all the people to see, and the ele-
phant rings up central with his trunk,
and takes the receiver in his trunk
and listens.
The keeper has two pet monkeys he
calls TiIpie and Tappie, and they are
interesting little creatures. Mr.. Har-
lem a man who was with us, knew
some of the keepers, and he asked us
TO wait a moment and he would see
IL we could see the monkeys. so they
brought them out and handed one to
mamma and one to me. They clung
about our necks like a baby would.
Some tiny little Shetland ponies
were waiting to be fed so we pulled
some grass and gave them some.
After we went home that night l
dreamed of the animals.
| hope to be kind to animals all my
life. II 1 ever go back to Pennsyl-
vania. l won't see as many animals as
l have because some are dead. have
not seen them for five years. Your

made such a noise 1t was hard to be
heard.
There were parrots. canaries, black
birds bluejays and every kind you can
think of.
When we went out again we went TO
see the giraffes. They were very tall.
The keeper put piece of meat on the
ground The great animal spread his
forelegs and put his head to the
ground.
There were great heads of buffa-

loes. Their long hair hung around
their heads and eyes. They looked
most like the lions. though their hair
was darker and their bodies larger.
After we had seen the animals we
went to the pavilion for luncheon.

incest / ever had. Your niece,

No real estate operator who is virtually inter ested in the welfare of the city wants to see any boom. No good comes from fictitious values ruling for short peri. od.
