NJ the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Early settlers in Australia learned from
the blacks the legend Of the ''bunyip,"
a fearsome creature supposed to dwell in
the swamps, and to terrify beholders
from time to time. Many appearances Of
this mysterious animal have been re-
ported. but in no case was the evidence
satisfactory or conclusive. The latest
story of the "bunyip'' comes from the
miles from Melbourne. The director of
the Melbourne Zoo went up and succeed
ed in viewing the animal through a pow
erful field glass. He pronounced it TO be
an unusually large seal. The zoo authori-
ties have offered reward of e1O for it's
capture.

IN HONOR Of MOTHERS
WHITE FLOWERS WILL BE
GENERALLY WORN MAY 8.
Idea Originated Four Years Ago
With Miss Anna Jarvis of
Philadelphia.

To honor the best mother who ever
lived-your own.
That Is the purpose of Mothers day,
which is to be celebrated Sunday, May
6, throughout the United States. The
emblem for the day is that OF purity, a
white flower.
A white carnation or rose will do for
the occasion. It is declared by florists
that 1t is fortunate that Mothers day
calls for no special flower. They recall
that the observance of Mckinley day, on
which a pink carnation was to be worn,
was nearly killed in its first and second
years of observance by the scarcity of
pink carnations.
How Observance Began.
Mothers day was first celebrated four
years ago, when Miss Anna Jarvis Of
Philadelphia conceived the idea from a
desire to commemorate the anniversary
Of her mothers death. It occurred to her
that 1t would be beautiful tribute to
all mothers. the living as we'll as the
dead. II their children. on given day.
would unite in wearing white flowers.
Miss Jarvis expressed her views in
Philadelphia newspaper, and the idea
quickly found favor In various sections
Of the country.
In many of the states the governors
issue proclamations setting aside the
second Sunday in May for the observance
of Mothers day.

petty dealers exhibit their stock in lit
tie piles upon the sidewalk sometimes
not even a newspaper being under them.
The supply comes from the cafes, res

Men and women pick over the garbage
heaps and the dust boxes and boys run
