DIR. S. S. Laws, then president of the
University, heard Of the accident, pur.
chased Emperor's body, and had the
skin and skeleton mounted for the mu.
| scum.
Emperor looks little the worse for
the wear. His trunk apparently has
been broken Off The senior suggest
ed that it had been broken off in tha
railroad wreck. But when his COM
panion laughed, he decided that that
probably wasn't where he lost it after
all. Then the senior and his compan-
ion got their heads together and decid-
ed that Emperor had his trunk broken
in later escapade-when he was res
cued from the old Academic Hall
which burned in 1892.
But Emperor isn't the only thing in
the museum, even though he does oc-
cupy the center of the room. Near
him is large case of birds and fowls
of all kinds. This must be the grab
box of the museum, for there is al
most everything from jay birds to os-
triches in it. In the east side of the
case stand two long-legged, long-bill-
ed American avocets. The taxider-
mist has playfully crossed their bills
to show that they are mates. Evident
ly they have not been as peaceable as
he thought they would be, for one of
them, apparently, has part of his bill
chewed off.
Further around the case is the ortyx
What is it? did you ask.
It's nothing more than a common
quail, or bob-white. He's standing
there just as natural as he probably
stood years ago in one of our fathers |
meadows. Close by is one of his fell |
Iow-inhabitants of the field-the |
meadow lark. These yellow-breasted
birds may be seen in almost any part !
)f the state. But the meadow lark is
mike the quail in that he doesn't
stay with us during the winter season.
He is more aristocratic and goes |
south.
Next we come to a naughty looking
bird, the penguin. He seems rather
Precise because he sits up so straight
I'll the time. His body is about four
cen inches long. His wings would
over a space of about two square
inches and are more delicate than a
ace fan. What he does with those
Wings is more than one can imagine
apparently they wouldn't even do to
hoo flies with.
The queerest looking bird of the
hole flock is the rhinoceros horn-bill.
lie has claws like an eagle, legs like
n owl, body like crow, only larg-
r, and a nose (the biologists call it
horn) like drunkard-red.
There are hundred other kinds of
lrds in this case. If they all would
ome back to life at once and give
leir native screech or yell, the mu-
'um would be a rather noisy place.
Probably the most natural and fero-
ous-looking animal is the rhinoce-
rs. But he has his head up rather
ian near the ground and does not
el afraid. Perhaps he is supposed
be running from the alligator close

GEOLOGICAL MUsEUM.

Gee! What an elephant" The
senior was taking his first trip through
the geological museum of the Univers-
ity.
'Emperor"-that's what his name
used to be-is large elephant. He
was in the circus business before he
came. here and was the largest ele-
phant in the business before the time
of Jumbo. A railroad accident is re-
sponsible for Emperor's being here.
He was killed in a wreck in Nebraska.

The dispute over 300 acres of land

Whether the land, formerly an is

Tigers Prepared Buckwheat Flour is just as much
different from anything you have ever used before
as day is from night and it's quality IS OF the high
est. You pay trife more for it than some OF the
other popular" brands but that's because 1t costs
more to produce and you'll never get it as cheap as
some fours because it can't be manufactured for
that price.
The choicest materials are used in Tigers, and its
made by clean people in a clean mill, and the
purest of chemicals are used in blending it for i'm
mediate baking. You may eat any quantity of
cakes made from it. and eat them week IN and week
out and they will not give you Indigestion. How
many of the other f1ours can you do this with?
Get your flour now, as it's fresh and good and
there will be no more gned to Lambertville until

nominational meetings were held in
the churches in the morning and
evening and men and boys meet

noon, which was we'll attended by
the more thoughtful and interested
ones.
Mayor Theodore S. Moore pre-
sided and gave his hearers a very
useful little talk for a layman, by
way of introduction, in which he
said:
Gentlemen: | realize the fact that
| am about to encounter problem
with which I feel quite unfamiliar.
Community Sunday: what is 1t?
AS | understand it, it is not necessar-
ily a Stockton Sunday, neither is it
merely Sunday in Stockton, be-
canse in every town of any size in
this county meetings of this type
are being held at this hour today.
1t is not Presbyterian nor a
Baptist Sunday, nor is it, presum-
ably, a production of some clever
preacher and a few of his closely
chosen friends who hope to employ
it's influences later for their own
selfish purpose.
Neither is it the outgrowth OF
the sleepless nights of some schem-
ing ward politician, who hopes by
hook or crook, at the psychological
moment, to turn the movement to
his personal gain.
1t is a movement going forward
almost nation wide, for the general
uplift of mankind regardless OF the
sect or creed.
1t is an invitation and splendid
opportunity for us to assist each
other, especially the boys our boys,
who demand and are now entitled to
our very best advice and care. The

at the knees, the enthusiastic young
man who really believe he knows
