Friend of the Animals.

Barnum and Bailey's success in
rearing rare animals of the Orient
while in captivity is principally due to
the extraordinary magnetism and af-
lection of one called Andrew-nO one
ever heard his last name-the giraffe
man. He has travelled all over Africa.
Animals love him. A few years ago
when a monkey was manned in the
circus and was to be killed, Andrew
interceded, saved the monkeys life and
nursed him back TO health. The mon
key is now Andrews shadow. Among
his other small pets, each of which has
some special cause Of gratitude to the
kindly trainer, are a blind dog, house
cat, parrot, a chicken and a white
rat. Wherever he sits they take pos
session Of his lap, shoulders and knees,
and talk to him-and Andrew talks
back. They all seem to understand
him perfectly.

Amsterdam, June 11.-According to
the Antwerp correspondent of the
Handelsblad the German authorities
at Client have issued an administrative
order granting permission to the city
Of Client for the erection Of a dog
slaughter-house. One Of the regula-
tions provides that no dog-butcher may
supply more than about two pounds of
dog meat to each family. In the opin-
ion of the correspondent there IL no
doubt this example soon will be fol-
lowed in other towns of Belgium, for
want is increasing day by day.

Fight on Fair Bill Amendment.

There will be a fight to prevent the
passage of the amendment which has
been proposed by Senator Bray to the
state fair appropriation bill for the
suspension of the state fair while the
war continues.
Several senators will take the floor
and protest vigorously that the war

Patriotic women of Wisconsin ac-
complished more in few hours on
Tuesday (registratiOn day. than the
legislature of Wisconsin has been able
to accomplish in two months. These
women distributed upwards of 10000
copies of President Wilson'S war mes
sage at the polls. Every man who
registered was given a copy of the war
message. Since early in April the Wis
consin legislature has been attempting
to agree on a bill to print 100000 cop
les of the message.
Meantime Mrs. II. II. Morgan, the
woman member of the Wisconsin
council of defense, got busy. Through
her interest a wealthy Chicago woman
agreed to pay for the printing OF $780,
600 copies. On Tuesday, when the men
went to the polls to register under the
draft, they found the women Of the
state cooperating with Mrs. Morgan,
distributing the copies. While the
legislature delayed, women had accom-
plished the work.

citizens, apparently abated, when it
became known that the prisoners
were safe somewhere in the Ozark

Their guard of deputy sheriffs was
overpowered at Stockton, Mo-, by
leaders of the Infatuated Springfield

themselves from the moose by denying
stoutly any guilt Of the disappearance

oners from the county Jail and in
swift automobiles started for a desti-
nation supposed to have been Jeffer-
son City, Mo-, where the six would
have been lodged for safe keeping in
the state prison. Leaders of the citi-
zens upon learning of the move fol-
lowed the officers in automobiles and
it was upon the expectation that the
prisoners would be taken by the irate
citizens from the deputies and return
ed to Springfield that a crowd estimat-
ed at 10000 waited until the early
hours Of the day in the square here.
The sheriff was thought to have
four of his prisoners in the county Jail
at Stockton, 40 miles from here. The
other two, G. J. Piersol and Taylor
Adams, the latter's wife being the
woman arrested in the alleged plot,
were believed to be on the road north,

only the bare outlines of the triumph
ant fight for the lives of Mrs. Adams
and her five companions. Apparently
it was when Piersol refused, despite
rope around his neck, to admit that
any of the suspects were concerned
with the death of little Lloyd.

this year and the same amount for
next year, for the operation of the
state fair at Milwaukee, and leaves
standing some appropriations for i'm
provements.

continuance of the present war, except
to pay existing Indebtedness"

amendment to the Wilcox bill to print
100000 copies of President Wilson's

was killed, sought to proclaim the
causes Of the war and to condemn
Prussian autocracy and to set forth
the idea that the war is entered by
the United States and other countries
In ga league of honor composed of the
liberal governments Of the world"
The original bill for printing the
copies still stands.
Wisconsin's labor laws will not be
suspended during the war. Both houses
Of the legislature have adopted a resi
olution, presented by Senator Wilcox,
to the effect that the labor laws of
Wisconsin shall continue to be en-
forced as if there were no war. Scores
Of applications had been filed with the
industrial commission asking changes
in the labor laws and In the hours Of
labor for women and children in Wis
consin. The passage Of this resolution
is an indication as to how the indus
trial commission may consider these
cases.
