 The labor question also plays d large part in the expense of the up- keep of the park. When the park was first opened Mir. Duff said he could secure labor for $1.50 a day, but that now it is almost impossible to get a mancfor less than three dollars a day.
 Betty, the first deer born in the park, now has a baby deer of her own. It is the youngest member of the deer family and is about two months old. One of the deer already has donned his winter coat of gray and several of the others are preparing to forsake their summer coats of brown.
 Jack, the peacock, has lost his beau tiful tail, this is moulting time. Jack has just recovered from a serious illness which neatly cost him his life, but thanks to MT. Duff's kindly care he is strutting around again as lively as ever. Jack and the two pea-hens are very tame, so tame in fact, that they Cat from Mir. Duffs hands.
