HUNTING THE HIPPO.
Methods of the Willy Native Hunters of
 North Africa.

North AfriCd.
 As hippopotamuS hunters the Shullas of the SoAat region. North Africa, stand alone. A native hippo hunt is m exciting and dangerous sport. The hunters are ill dugout canoes; two or three paddle while one manages the harpoou or barbed spear. to which are attached stout rope aLd float of ambatch.
 When the hippo comes to the surface to breaIhe an attempt is made to steal upon him with the harpoon; when this is accomplished the hunters make a hasty retreat from the enraged beast, and in turn engage his attention while attempts are made to spear him by those III the other canoes.
 When severely wounded u hippopot- anus goes ashore to rest or to die and not to attack it's assailants. as has been so often reported. The native hunters wait for this. and when the animal goes ID out of the water a vOlley of spears is thrown into it. and slowly the huge beast bleeds to death. The hunters do not always escape. Some times the life or limb of one of them is sacrificed to their daring.
 The hide of the hippopotamus is cut into strips and dried to be sold to Arab traders. who. in turn. sell it to tue whipmakers of Omdurman and Egypt Certain portions of the hide are much prized as shields, The flesh IS cut into long. narrow strips and dried in the sun; its taste resembles that of coarse beef.

 Seventy-nine years ago the Liberty Bell was tolled for the last time. On that day great crack appeared on the side of the bell while it was proclaimins the coun- trys grief over the death of Chief Jus tice John Marshall of the United States supreme court. whose body was beins taken from this city to Virginia for burial.
 In the circumstances many professed to see fitting significance. Chief Jus tice Marshall was the last of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the last of General Washintons asso- ciates Fifty-nine years before the bell had rung out the tiding that the Declara- ton of Independence had been signed and adopted
 Once before the bell had been cracked and recast and later was again recast to mellow its tone. Finally it was hung in the statehouse steeple. where for many years 1t heralded every important national event
 Today the historic relic stands in it's glass case in the statehouse rotunda. where 1t is viewed daily by hundreds of visitors. Experts who have critically ex- amined the bell have announced that the crack is enlarging. and to preserve it for future generations iron jacks have been placed to support it and to reduce the vibratory effects of heavy traffic on the city streets.

 Then, there in the model factory, Ma ria Agnello also fell--fell into another un- guarded pit. She had not time to see it in her great haste. A $5-a-week job builds no rail round the pit of over-work and deepening responsibility. Tuberculo- sis stepped beside and pushed her down. She fought bravely for health. In Octo- Der her took her to the county hospital. In about two weeks she was dead. The four children were removed by the Chil- dren's Aid society and separated in two orphan asylums.
 The maimed man was alone. He could walk now and get around haltingly; he tried to find work. But our industrial system had no place for the lame. Day after day he sat in the corner of tho kitchen with his head on his arm and sobbed.

 From the ancient hills of Sicily, from the fiower-embroidered fields where Pros- erpina played and Pluto wooed, they had come to America, the Asnellos-Teodoro and Maria. And in America-"il Para diso." they had dreamed of it-this is what befell
 They were erecting a model factory in our town, one of the first. It stands now, as a special sight for visitors.
 Teodoro was doing his share to help on this beneficent undertaking. With heavy barrows of mortar on his shoulder he sealed ladders. and walked narrow gird- CTS.
 If one lost his balance, or stepped too far aside to let another pass-one may read statistics to know the life-cost of labor-well, Teodoro was not dead when they examined him. He breathed.
 It was IS months before he could rise and walk about. But only a few days after the breaking of his body he was left alone, helpless on his bed. by a lov- ing wife and an inhuman society, left to be the caretaker of four small children. The mother knew that they ate, for she left bread every morning on the table, and she worked from until to get the money to buy 1t.
 The Royal Insurance company, with which the contractors for the model fac tory made business arrangements to care for their injured and dead, sent from their palaGe in New York an agent to our town. He, dwelling In the security of a high-storied office, has his agent, too. The sub-agent was political ward heeler, regularly maintained in municipal posi- tion that from this vantage point he might usefully control the unknowing for eigner.
 In this way the power of the New York palace presented itself at the bedside of Teodoro, about week after the breaking of his body. The lids lay thin over his sunlSen eyes. His rosy. begrimed little children stood silently, innocently around.
 Patiently the sub-agent sat and pa tiently he held Teodoro's hand. He wait ed quietly when the mans consciousness seemed to ebb away in utter exhaustion But after half an hour of effort, with the gentlest possible guiding of the pale gnarled hand. waiting space between each letter, he caused him to write his name, "Agnello Teodoro" at the foot of a piece of paper.
 For aApittance Teodoro had signed away his right to sue the contractors for the almost total loss of his body, life. liberty and the ability to pursue happiness.
 So the mother worked. bending heI
