worried boy when he could not locate
the owner of 25-pound market basket
at 121 Market street, where he had
been directed to take it by a woman
who entrusted it to his care at the
Chestnut street market house.
1t was very heavy for the youngster
and when he could not find the owner
he just naturally broke into tears and
then a policeman found him and re-
heved him of the burden. He was very
much elated and ran to his home. The
owner of the basket claimed it at po-
lice headquarters just before noon.

George T. Scott, assistant secretary of

thau at Constantinople had communi-
Gated to the Grand Vizier the request
of the State Department for protection
of Americans in the vicinity of Urum-

expressed the belief that the reports

tect all inhabitants of the section, in
cluding, of course, the Christians.

''Mr. Morgenthau's IS cablegram, the

til yesterday, March 26, having been
delayed in transit two days.
MIR. Scott added that the board was
not so apprehensive at present as to
the safety of American missionaries in
the district as it had been. He thought
that Mr.. Allen, the American mission
ary beaten by pillaging Kurds who
stormed the American mission, had
probably stood guard at the gate to the
mission and had received the rough
treatment accorded him because he re-
sisted the mob which was intent upon

Effective Their Work.
What adds TO the wonder of the
earth's grist is that the millstones that
did the work and are still doing II are
the gentle forces that career above our
heads-the sunbeam, the cloud, the air,
the frost. The rains gentle fall. the
airs velvet touch, the suns noiseless
rays. the frost's exquisite crystals,
these combined are the agents that
crush the rocks, pulverize the noun
tains and transform continents OF
sterile granite into II world Of fertile
soil
1t IL as II baby fingers lid the work
of powder and dynamite. Give the
clouds and the sunbcams lime enough
and the Alps and The Andes disappear
before them or are transformed into
plains where corn may grow and cattle
Craze.
The snow falls as lightly as down
ana lies almost as lightly. yet the
crags tumble beneath It, compacted by
gravity out OF II grew the tremendous
ice sheet that ground of the mountain
submits, that scoopcd out lakes and
valleys and modelled our northern land
scapes as the sculptor his clay i'm
age.-John Burroughs.

BAeeIMG A HIPPO.
How Il Is Done and How the Flesh or
t.,- Animal Tastes.

t.i- Animal aeteS.
There are two ways OF bagging a
hlppopotanaus. says writer In the
Wide World Magazine. and neither is
justified unless the sportsman Is sorely
IN want Of food. Tor It's meat is very
poor indeed and wants good deal OF
preparation to be palatable to any one
except the starving. II has n taste
can only describe as iishy. something
what beef would taste like after being
wrapped up for couple of days with
Scotch haddock Of doubtful fresh
ness.
The hippo may be shot IN water.
When MORALLY wounded he will sink
and will not reappear on the surface
for several hours, consequently a firing
lookout has 10 be Kept for the carcass.
II he is only slightly wounded he may
charge, but more often he will flee ana
die in the reeds 10 serve rs food for
scAvenger birds or crocodiles
The other and more sporting way Is
to shoot him OIL land. This Is. as
rule, only possible at night or late in
the evening and early In the morning.
Ii would not be wise 10 lind oneself
between the river and the wounded
hippo. for he at once makes for the
water by the shortest route. and he
goes so fast that getting out of his
way requires pretty speedy feet and
great GOODNESS Of nerve.
