The Pelican and the BAT.

Hidalgo Pete, who halls from the
Spanish Main and is the NEST sedate
OF all the pelicans in Central Park,
was pecking idly at the wire cage Of
the pelican house, pausing now and
then to glance suspiciously at his
cage mates, Signor Gomez and San
chez Hoolihoo, for they had been
abusing him of late.
Everything was very quiet in the
park menagerie. Bob Hurtin, one Of
the keepers, was busy cleaning out a
drain near the corner of the tiger
house, when a rat suddenly darted
from the mouth of the drain. ran be-
tween the keepers legs, and darted
for the tiger house. Jack, the frislHy
little fox terrier and official ratcatch-
er, ran after it, barking wildly. Jack
was nearly upon it, when the rat
wheeled, sprang over the dogs head
and headed for the pelican house.
The meshes of the pelican house
wire are just large enough for a rat
to squeeze through. The rat selected
a mesh. and dived through, pausing
an instant as it landed on the gravel
floor of the pelicans' domain. Hidal-
go Pete and his two relatives were
aquiver with excitement. They are
nervous birds, in spite of their Sc
date appearance.
The rat had scarcely recovered its
equilibrium when Hidalgo Pete, with
one ungainly hop and couple Of
flaps of his broad wings, reached the
rodent and pecked viciously at 1t.
But he missed the rat by an inch
and his beak buried itself In the
gravel. Hidalgo Pete toppled over in
heap, and gave an angry squawk as
he regained his feet and tried to
shake the gravel out Of his pouch.
The two other peEcans were also
in action by this time. Sanchez Hooli-
hoo was close behind Hldalso Pete,
and he, too, made a lunge at the rat,
with mouth wide open.
Then the rat disappeared for q mo-
ment, Hidalgo Pete and SiSner Gomez
looked quickly around for it. But the
rat was inside the pouch of Sanchez
Hoollhoo, as became quite evident
very quickly. In describing the affair
afterward, Keeper Hurtin said:
1T was about the funniest thing
ever saw. | haven't stopped laughing
yet. That Hoolihoo pelican got more
than he bargained for, 1 guess. Sure
" he didn't want to swallow live
rat. He only wanted to give 1t peck
hard enough to kill 1t. But l guess
that in the excitement he went at the
rat with his mouth open, for the rat
certainly got inside that two foot
pouch of Hoolihoos.
81 am not quite sure what happen
ed inside the pouch, but the rat must
have hit Hoolihoo some, for all OF a
sudden that pelican raised straight
UP in the air his mouth came open
and out jumped the rat. The way
Hoolihoo squawked was a caution.
He kept beating his wings and run
ming around in circles for five min
utes.
"The rat hit the gravel floor and
got out of the pelican house in Jig
time. Jack was waiting for it outside
and killed it.-Inter-Ocean.

Adventure of a Baby boy,

A person who lived some years in
South Africa tells the following
story: The infant son of one of the
Dutch settlers had strayed away
After some time a search party dis
covered little footprints leading in
the direction of the bush. Following
up these, they came upon large open
space, at the farther side of which
they discovered the object of their
search sitting hugging little wooden
doll and munching piece of bread
and butter.
Before they could make their way
through the thick, tangled under
growth a large lion sprang into the
clearing. The little boy, far from be-
ing frightened, ran to meet the lion,
holding up his bread and butter, and
said: "Take a bite, doggie." The
father stood powerless to move or
speak through fear, expecting each in
slant to see the child crushed under
the lions paw; but, instead of doing
as he dreaded, the lion turned himself
over and lay on his back at the child's
feet, looking up in his face as cat
would do, at play,
watching his opportunity, the faith
er raised his gun and fired, hitting
the lion in the leg. The animal
sprang up and leaving the child,
rushed on the party, injuring two Of
the number before it was finally kill
ed. From this circumstance the child
was Immediately christened by the
settlers Daniel. Francisco,
