When Hagenbeck-Wallace circus
comes to town Monday, July IS, there
will be on exhibition in the menagerie
the largest hippopotamus ever brought
to America. The huge river horse was
caught in British South Africa by
means of a pitfall-a deep trench, the
mouth OF which is covered by net
work of moss and sticks to resemble
the grassy earth. When the animal
took his fatal plunge, he fought so
ferociously that it required fifty ma
tives to drag him from the dark hole
and make him a prisoner.
The children who visit the circus
will be delighted when they see the
two cutest little jungle babies that
ever rolled out of the thicket To be
precise, however, they never saw a
jungle, being captive-born lions and
used to city ways. They are little
balls of soft fur with bright, blinking
eyes and playful paws.

of the show may be had from care

ing parade. For an hour the wonders

they asked was nothing less than this :

er and friend with whom these men
had companied intimately for three
years. This astounding request makes
clear that they had not for a moment
, really apprehended the nature of their
Lord and his mission. All his efforts
to enlighten them had fallen upon
closed and carnal ears. For what
James and John asked entered into
the very councils of eternity and
sought to overlap the plans of the in
finite.
Had blistering and excoriating words
of rebuke fallen from the lips of the
leader, we would feel that justice was
being done. Yet with consideration
and compassion, as parent deals
with the childishness of little children,
Jesus said gently, I'VE know not what
We ask. Are We able to drink the cup
that l drink? or to be baptized with
the baptism that am baptized with?
And they said unto him, we are able.
And Jesus said unto them, The cup
that I drink We shall drink; and with
the baptism that l am baptized with
all shall We be baptized; but to sit on
my right hand or on my left hand is
mine to give; but it is for them for
whom it hath been prepared"

we are fitted.

Political parties have been torn
asunder by individual ambitions. The

threatened the little group of twelve
followers of Jesus. When the ten
learned of the secret ambition and
scheme of the two, they were in
censed Their silent discomfort over
the favors shown the others now broke
into open protest. They were prob
ably no better than the others and
equally ambitious. Simply the two
had got ahead of them. Such was the
material out of which the early church
was made. We marvel that such COM
mon men as these should have been
transformed into the apostles of later
day.
How was this crisis met by Jesus?
Did he answer by thunders of author
ity and derunciation? No. Instead, |!
he opened school and held kinder
garten class in his philosophy of great
ness He gathered the twelve close to !
himself and patiently taught them:
I'VE know that they who are account
ed to rule over the Gentiles lord it'll
over them; and their great ones exer-l
else authority over them. But it is
not SO among you: but whatsoever
would become great among you, shall
be your minister; and whatsoever
would be first among you, shall be
servant Of all. For the son of man also
came not to be ministered unto, but to
and to give his life ransom
for many"

ROYAL YOUTHS
SPORT LOVERS.
Crown Prince of Norway Is Expert
Ski Jumper--11 Years Old

Chrstiana. May 16.-The little
Crown Prince Olav. like every Norweg
ian boy, is striving to become the
champion ski jumper at the world. lie
was given his first skis at the age Of
three years and during the past WIN
ter, at the age of eleven, he has been
jumping from forty to iifty feet. He is
as clever as any boy OF his age at the
sport and is SO enthusiastic about IL
that he attends all the big contests.
When King Haakon and Queen Maud
came To Norway in 1905 they knew
nothing about winter sports. but before
their first winter was over the royal
pair became fascinated with skiing
and. under the tutelase of Captain
Roll, the kings aid, who is one of the
most expert ski runners In Norway,
they became so proficient that they
could compete with any native born az
their age.
In the winter the royal family live
for several weeks i'm small house
near the scene OF the worlds greatest
ski derby. This house. which was &
gift from the people, is built in the
Norwegian peasant style and is fur
nished in true sportsman fashion.
Neither the king or queen care much
tor royal ceremony and etiquette, 50
their vacation days at the ski Rroun'.s
constitute the most enjoyable season
Of their year.
They found particular pleasure re.
Gently in entertaining the Prince If
Wales their nephew, who tried skiing
for the first time. The Prince took IL
the Norwegian sports so readily that
during the last day Of his visit he made
a trip To the high mountains and gla-
ciers, a feat that is not considered
lightly even by experienced mountain
climbers. When he left for home he
expressed the intention of coming back
next winter, if possible.
