food a hippo can eat may be had when
1T is known that his stomach is often
! found to be eleven feet long when cX-
tended with food, holding five or six
bushels. No one keepsaDoarding houses
for hippos in the jungle.
What the hunter chiefly fears are the
huge, cavernous jaws of the hippo,
lined with ugly, enormous tusks and
sharp inciSor teeth. The tusks curve
backward. With the crushing power
of the jaws are combined the legs Of
monstrous weight. Amy unfortunate
on whom these bone and muscle pile
drivers fairly descend Will never rise
again in one piece.
When the hippo is shot in the water
care should be taken that the depth is
shallow, for his specific gravity is so
great that he Immediately sinks to the
bottom when freshly killed. After ly
ing dead under water for about twen-
ty-four hours the carcass rises, owing
to gases generated in the stomach, un-
less the water is so deep that its pres
sure holds down the body.
inexperienced white hunters some
times lose the hippos slain in the wa
ter because the current carries the
body downstream when it begins to
rise. The natives, however, invariably
drive spears tied to ropes into the
monster and by tying the ropes to
trees make certain Of securing the
carcass. However, the fact that hip
pos usually are found in quiet water
outside the current, to relieve them Of
the labor of resisting the flow, renders
this loss infrequent.
Forest venturers on whom their
'lucky stars have shone sometimes
find hippo in silly predicanent. He
frequently leaves his beloved stream
to Craze on herbage in the neighboring
regions. He finds his way back to the
water only by the scent of his tracks,
and If rain falls while on this tour
hfppo's tracks are obliterated, the
scent disappears, and he has no way
of Immediately finding his way back.
Now he stands comparatively helpless
against powerful rifles, as his best
known mode of escape-sinking to the
river bottom-is denied him. The or
dinary hippo can stay under water
about five minutes, but the veteran

campaigner, wise in the ways of the
huntsman, actually trains himself SO
that he can remain submerged for ten
minutes. Then he rises for air under
an overhanging bank or among thick
reeds. The hippo's great specific gray
ity enables him to run along the bot
tom Of a river with amazing speed,
and the hunter must not underesti-
mate his swimming ability, really
phenomenal for SO bulky q quadru-
ped. Passengers on steamers on the
upper reaches Of the Nile state that
their craft, going 10 knots (not merely
land miles, an hour, have proved unable
to overhaul a hippo and that full
steam had to be cro,wded on before he
was brought abreast.
His speed as a swimmer is a forcible
Illustration Of the hippo's monstrous
muscular energy, for he must overcome
the great resistance his bulk offers to
the water. But it should not be over
ooked that in performing some Of the
aquatic feats with which he is ac-
credited hippo probably had the aid of
the current. A hippo could outdis-
tance a pickerel-if his course was
down the face of Victoria falls.
One of Sir Samuel Bakers steamers
on the White Nile was charged by
hippo that smashed the paddle wheel
and stove two yawning holes in its
bottom with the head and tusks. Sir
Samuel also tells Of a hippo that lifted
out Of the water a heavy dugout
(made from the trunk of a tree) that
was twenty seven feet long and filled
with people. He also saw herd Of
hippos attack twenty head Of cattle
swimming across the Nile and in wan
ton maliciousness drag many of them
under water, never to appear again.
On Uganda stream feeding Lake
Choga two hippos and two crocodiles
ingeniously destroyed two members Of
q hunting party encamped near by.
The two men, having been shooting
along the stream, came down to 1t at
dusk to wash. They stood on the
bank and failed to notice full CROWD

avalanche might well hesitate to an
poy; also 1t is told on the Uganda
railway that when trains have stopped
until the hippo has left the track the
animal has charged at the engine and
fought it, endeavoring to push 1t of
the rails.
Probably the hippo would hate tc'
learn it, but it is true that he is tech
nically classed with pigs by various
learned writer's, though he has many
radically different characteristics. At
any rate, the ancient Egyptians began
his humiliation by terming him the
sriver swine" The Arabs treated him
very gently, naming him the water
buffalo, Hollanders know him as
the 'see kuh" (sea cow, and he re-
ceived his present appellation, hip
popotamus, from the Greeks. So it Is
seen that, widely known for centuries
throughout the world, the hippo for
merly must have had an unusually
wide range Of existence. And that is
true. Although now found only in Afri-
ca, he anciently roamed over England,
Italy, Palestine, ETC., and his skeleton,
strangely enough, has been found side
by side with that Of the reindeer in
several places in England, though no
farther north than Yorkshire.
In Uganda, along Mr.. Roosevelt's
route, are found the finest living speci-
mems of the hippo Grace" The many
waterways and marshes provide them
with ideal retreats and breeding and
feeding places. Hunters on finding
what looks like a probable feeding
place camp near by and keep careful
watch, for In regions where shooting
has before occurred the beasts become
very wary, keeping under water, with
only their noses protruding among
lily pads or grass. In wild districts
grass and water plants principally To-
tus and poppy are their pabuluu, but
where cultivation occurs they greedily
invade rice, millet, sugar and maize
delds, doing incalculable damage not
pnly by devouring, but by trampling.

| Saturday evening the high school
graduates enjoyed their first expert
ence as important members Of this
community, and hundreds were pres
ent to honor them in this distinction.
Twenty-one young gentlemen and la
dies marched into the courtroom and
were assigned seats in the jury box
there to admire and be admired by
admiring relatives and friends. Ev-
erybody loves the sweet girl graduates
and the young men got their share of
attention. -...
The program opened with prayer by
County Superintendent Mair of Min
nehaha, who delivered the address,
after which came a song by a choir of
splendid singers composed OF Frank
II. Treat, James Pattee, Maud Lew
is and Mrs. Myron Dunlap, accom-
panied by Miss Jessie Roderick at the
organ.
Prot. MAR took his text from Sam
uel, reading Of the contest between
David and Goliah, and likened the
graduates to young Davids. who must
meet and overcome Goliahs in their
progress through life. His subject
was we'll chosen and in elaboration he
pictured youthful ambition beset
with trials and tribulations but held
to the text that In progressive pur-
pose they could overcome all barriers
through diligence and application
backed by Christian faith like un-
to that which gave David victory
over the giant. David destroyed Co.
liah because he was prepared for the
work before him, having learned how
to use the sling while tending his
fathers hocks. So with the gradu-
ates in their future contests in life's
progress, they must be prepared, to
meet every obstacle and take advant-
age of opportunity, as luck is but the
handmaiden Of preparedness, and luck
is but mockery If not sustained by
the elements that come through a

progressive spirit built upon christian
ity and education. The address was
very highly app reciated by all.
Superintendent Woodburn occupied
a seat by the speaker and he was de-
cidedly proud of that splendid class Of
youthful graduates, as were all the
high school teachers who were present
to enjoy the triumph of their pupils.
The event was one Of the most In
teresting In the history of the Can
ton high school.

pursuit of the many animals generally
frequentins the hot plains and rocky
hills.
The hippopotamus IS practically an
aquatic animal. though n mammal.
and Mr. Roosevelt can leave his expe
dition to pursue lions, elephants or
antelopes temporarily while he EN-
barks on a boat or canoe and voyages
through the haunts Of the hippo. But
most hippo hunting is done from shore
along the banks because of the in
creased danger resulting to the sports
men from the use of boats. Hippos
have long list of victories over river
and lake craft Of many sizes and de-
scriptions, attacking them with feroci-
ty and effectiveness that stout timbers
have failed to withstand.
The dangerous disposition Of the
East African hippos when assailed or
angered Is we'll illustrated by the ac-
counts of their sensational assaults on
railway locomotives on the line ex-
tending from Mombasa to Lake Vic
toria NyanZa. Engineers and railroad
officials relate that hippos are stirred
to towering rage by the snorting, puff
ing, whistling, fire glowing engines
and that repeatedly they have come
on the tracks near the Athi river sta
tion and charged boldly at the head

gineer in stopping the train has avert

WHERE'S THE POLICE?
rCIarion Monitor.1


The Great Western waiting rooms,
and especially the room set aside for
the use of gentlemen, have been the
subject of great deal of comment
among the travelling public this win
ter. If there has been a day during
the past few months when that room
was in fit condition in which to await
the arrival of trains, the fact has es-
caped the notice of, observing ones.
The room is frequently occupied by
hoboes. They not only sleep there, but
dine as well, and the remains of their
handouts are distributed promiscuous-
ly about the room. Here is an inNen-
tory of the articles noticed in the room
one day last week: An old pair of
overshoes, one sock, part of an old
shirt, five or six empty whisky bot
ties, an empty pop bottle. half loaf
of bread, the remains of several dried
herring, an old handkerchief, a pair of
old halfsoles, empty tobacco sacks,

whole being garnishe6l with a gener-
Gus supply of dirt. Nor was this all.

THE NEW BREED OF HOGS.
Thrift Tribune1

f A Hancock county farmer has re-
Gently imported one of those new breed
of Montana hogs. These hogs have no
kink in their tails like the ordinary
hog, their tails are three-cornered like
a file and very, large. When coyote
gets after them they spring into the
air. alight on their tails and with the
rapidity of lightning whirl around,
boring themselves into the ground out
of reach of their enemies. This farmer
has mile of fence to build and will
utilize the hog to bore the post holes.
He stakes the hog out where he wants
a post hole and sets the dog on him;
the hog bores hole in a second and
when the hole is deep enough the farm
er calls it out with pail of swill. He
then stakes it out where he wants the
next hole and repeats The operation. A
mile of post holes can be dug in a day
in this way. These hogs have such long
hips that their hams reach clear to
their shoulders, and the, whole hog cuts
up into hams and shoulders, head
cheese and pigs feet, they have no ten
derloin or side meat.

"rHE SWALLOW TAIL GAMBLERS"

Des Moines minister and mission
ary took a fall" out of what he calls
the Swallow tail'' gamblers and the
women who play bridge the other day
by demanding that they receive fhe
same attention given gambling dens.
"Were the eight negroes who were
raided Monday night for gambling af-
ter being surrounded by the police and
being secretly watched any worse than
the men in swallow-ta tail coats playing
poker and the women aat the bridge
table in an elegant parlor?" he de-
mands.
Sure enough gambling is gambling
whether IN a negro dive or in an 'ele-
CANT home" There is no argument
over that assertion by the minister
but the majority of us will answer his
question not precisely as he would ex-
pect. The fact is the negro gamblers
are worse because they are different.
Their gambling is a prelude to murder,
their winnings destined to be spent in
vice. They are bad men outside CT
the game. Most of them no douot
would not scruple to do a hold up if
his luck were bad and he had to have
the money. The negro gambler in a
negro dive is worse than the maan with
position and general decency who is
fool enough to play for money. He IS
infinitely worse than the wife and
mother of whom the greatest criticism
to be made is that she makes a fool of
herself over a card game, neglects her
family to play and plays for money
of course they are worse.
However it does not follow that the
"s'wallowtaiI' and the silk gown gamb-
lers are not more dangerous by exam
pie. "A gang of "nigger" crap shooters
in patrol wagon is scarcely an in
centive to youth to- go and do like.

low just loaded enough to be good
company. The swell gamblers" do
not generally favor the lethal use of
razors and the lady ganesters in The

with fists and fngernails. But they
set a mighty bad example. They may
deserve to have the law set upon them
as; upon the negro gamblers but they

Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming
are now using convict labor in the con-
struction of a great highway to run
thru the three states. Large gangs
are working in North Carolina, Georgia
and Oregon. In Illinois prison labor
is used in crushing stone for -ae public
roads. Reports from officials on the
success Of this movement give good
idea of the cheapness with which
roads can be improved, also methods of
control of convicts thus employed.
