REASON FOR PETERS TEARS
Wire From Bale of Hay Caught in
Mouth of Hippopotamus Caused
Big Animal to Weep.

Peter cried steadily for nearly a
week, and the keepers at the Bronx
zoo in New York could not imagine
what was the matter with him. Peter
could not tell them, because he had
never learned to speak English, and
he was only a hippopotamus. anyway.
He just stood In his big cage and let
the tears run down his cheeks. He
would not eat, and all he would do
was open his mouth so wide that you
might have showed a bale of hay into
it. It was a bale of hay that had
caused all the trouble. When, at last,
the keepers looked down into the back
of Peters great red mouth they saw
that an iron wire that had been used
for baling hay had been jabbed into
the flesh and was sticking there. It
was no wonder that Peter cried and
could not eat. The keepers fixed the
hippo's jaws open, and then one OF the
men reached in and tied a cord to the
wire. It took three men to pull it out,
but they did it, and then Peter went
to work on the dinners that he had
not been eating.

Hayward, Wis.-This northwoods

the sporting spirit of Sawyer county.
This year it is forty-one-pound

Covering for Brooder Floors.

this purpose. During the past year
the Rhode Island experiment station
has made a study of this subject and
it has been found that the best ma.
terial is a sawdust composition, bound
ed together by an oil having a wax
base and rendered antiseptic by the
addition Of either lysol or zenoleum.
The methods of making this prepara-
ton, together with other methods en-
ployed at the station for the disinfec-
ton Of breeders, incubators and
houses, are to be discussed in detail

Jack, who was carrying the pail,

stumbled, as is supposed, over some
obstacle in his path, and fell, his head
striking the ground with great vio-
lence. Doctor Slack, who was at once
summoned, pronounced the lads in

portion Of the Uranium, and ordered
his immediate removal to Blessington

carried for twenty-five years more
than $4,000 in bills of $1,000 denom-
nation in that article Of apparel, hay-
ing no other way to dispose of the
money, invested it in real estate and
coal mines.
In consequence of this effective con-
cealment Of her fortune she is having
a tragic difficult in convincing the
world that $4,000 worth of property
is her own and was not given to her
by her husband, John Mackler, to de-
fraud his creditors. She is fighting in
three courts to retain the property.
Until Jesse w. Skies, trustee in
bankruptcy of the estate of John
Mackler, filed suit to recover this
property and caused her story to be
dragged into the courts, she was
known only as an ordinary housewife,
doing her own work and receiving
small spending money from her hus-
band.
Year after year she lived as If she
were having the same hard struggle
with life as her neighbors, and was
heard frequently to complain, when
trouble overlook her, that she did not
know what she would do. In her
younger years she worked as a gen
eral servant and seamstress. All that
time she carried money and iewelry
that would have outglittered the mod
est fortunes of her employers.

Man Makes Children Proficient
Without Aid of Water.


: An apparatus to teach swimming
without water has been invented by
California man. The principle lies in
the fact that it will teach the proper
stroke because no other is possible,
and when this movement has become
a habit the pupil will strike out in the
correct way as soon as he or she
hits the water. The novice lies on a
padded support, which extends to her
knees. She grasps a pair of pu1leys
above her head, and attached to
these pulleys are cables The cable
In her right hand is fastened to her

WISE WORDS.
A Physician On Food.

A physician, Of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetie laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure In saying to the
public that in my own experience aud
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that / find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food viii
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and conYalescence.
TT is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts To persons In health there is
nothing so nourishfng and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hu.
man system On the days work.
In cases of Indigestion know that
a complete breakfast can be made of
Grane-N11ts md cream and think il ts
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. / also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
