Hagenbeck. The most emIne

Hagenbeck. the most eminent
o. :, exhibitor and trainer Of Wild
animals IN the world. has had many
adventures in his half century OF ex-
perlenoe. Some Of them are described
Ia recent book. entitled Beasts and
Men" On more than one accession an
elephant has come uncomfortabiy near
putting an end to Mr.. Hagenbecks
career. One Of the worst accidents
happened at the end Of the SOS. About
that time be purchased a menagerie AZ
Trieste. which included among other
beasts female elephant. which stood
about eight feet high. II seemed to be
thoroughly good-tempered animal. its
only fault being that II occasionally
had the sulks--a not uncommon char

He soon made friends with the eie-
plant. which be named Lissy. and he
never passed its stall without giving
OF a handful OF food. He was. there
fore. he believed. justified IN thinking
he had quite won its heart. and as it
never showed any sign OF violence, Il
did not occur 70 Mr.. Hagenbeck that
be might be dealing with a grossly
dtceitful creature.
The elephant was learning a trick
in which It had to swing its keeper
into the air with its trunk, and then
slowly set him upon the ground again.
The word Of command which was
given to the beast when II had to per.
form this simple exhibition was:
-Lissy. apport.~
-One day" to continue in Mr.. Ha-
genbeck's own words. 4 found Lissy
alone In her stable. the keeper being
absent Il must have been a devli that
made me feel a desire to Be raised on
high By her. after the manner OF her
keeper. stroked and fed her. and
then. taking hold Of her trunk. called
out the word Of command:
-Llssy. appostl"
Then followed one OF the most vile
" treacherous acts OF which I have
ever heard. Lissy began to obey the
order. but soon felt she was bent on
mischief. for the embrace OF her trunk
was unpleasantly vigorous. and Il
scared high into the air.
But was not quietly deposited
once more upon my feet
Instead Of this. Lissy dashed me
violently against the wooden barrier
10 front Of her stall. and went flying
over into the menagerie.

State Agent Warns Employe. that
Prosecutions are to Follow.

G. w. Puppy, state truant officer
working under direction of the state
labor bureau, who arrived in Bemidii
on Tuesday of this week, has found
not only a dozen truants but that
the child labor law is being violated
in Bemidji.
Il have issued warning to several
employees. If they get rid of their
child help they will avoid further
trouble. If they continue their vio-
lations, shall swear out warrants
and have them prosecuted. I usually
have to do that in a couple of cases
before they realize that the state
means business"
Mr.. Puppy is making a systematic
search of the city for children out of
school or for children under sixteen
years who are employed.
!. Persons who employ children
under the legal age must be pro-
vided with a permit to have the child
work and this permit has to be
granted in the name of the state.
Mr.. Puppy will remain in Bemidji
for several days. s-<ss~f-

Figures, Upon Which Reapportionment
Depend, Have Failed to Come
as Promised
BRAINERD READY FOR MEETING
Special Operator, to Take Care Of
Newspaper Men-Band May
Go From Here.

With the Brainerd convention of
the Northern Minnesota Develop
meat association only four days away
and with reapportionment the 1ost
important subject to come up at
that meeting, the census bureau has
failed to give out the population of
by counties.
Upon appeal of Secretary Mac
kenzle to President Taft orders were
issued, several days ago, by the
president to Director of the
Census Durand to hurry the figures
and definite promise was made
that they would be here for use be-
fore December 1.
This did not entirely satisfy Mr.
Mackenzie and he wired Census
I Director Durand that the figures
must be here by November rs and
the census indicated that they would.
The figures have not arrived. Sec
rotary Mackenzie has completed ar
rangements to flash them out. He
has been out of the city since Thurs
day but is expected back tonight
and will pump &C. Q. D." messages
into the census office at Washington.
In the meantime arrangements
for the Brainerd gathering are
practically complete. The big opera
house in that city is being equip
ped for the convention. -:
A squad of staff men from the
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth Crooks
ton and other papers will be sent to
cover the proceedings and in order
to accommodate the newspaper men
and make possible complete reports
to all papers by wire, David r.
Craig, manager of the Western
Union in Brainerd, has cut in adj
ditional wires and employed special
and expert operators.
1t has been suggested that the
Bemidji delegation, which promises
to be one of the largest to go from
any town, take with it the Bemidji
brass band.
