HERE'S A STRANGE JOB:
CHEF FOR 5000 ANIMALS
New York Zoo Man on the Job Every
Morning Preparing All Kinds
of Food for Charoes

OF Food Tor Charges.
New York, N. Y.-There are plenty
of exasperating jobs in this world, but
Rudolph Bell, placid of face and easy
of smile, claims to have the most ex-
asperating job ever invented. Rudolph
is chef for 5000 wild animals!
For twenty long years early morn
ing has found him in bright, CHEEKY
kitchen in little house set amid the
rugged wilds of Bronx Park cooking
strange dishes for the strangest lot Of
boarders who ever listened for the
dinner bell-the animals at the New
York zoo.
His daily menu runs the full length
of the alphabet-from A for apples to
2 for zweiback.
Rudolph smiles easy despite the
fact that five days a week he has woes
that would try the patience OF Job.
Two days a week Wednesday and
Saturday-he has peace, for these are
starving days. On these days no food
Is given to the furred and feather folk
at the zoo, so that their appetites do
not become jaded, condition that is
very likely to occur with animals kept
In captivity. But he has to work seven
days a week just the same.
1t takes skill and considerable i'm
agination to prepare and cook meals
for a family that ranges from field
mice to elephants. even when the fam.
lily is healthy and hungry. But when
they arc sick they are worse than hu-
man beings.
sick monkeys" says Rudolph,
"they are little devils. I'd rather feed
q bear with q sore head than to try
to coax the appetite OF O chimpanzee
with a stomachache."
But Rudolph has heart as big as
his whole strange family. He'll fuss
and fume over the making of a Gus.
tard, for egg custard literally sprinkl-
ed with raisins IL something that q
monkey with one foot In the grave
could not resist.
When the bears get blue and lose
their appetites Rudolph mixes what he
calls his milk punch"-a long drink
of eggs. milk and sugar. One or two
Of these and the shaggy fellow again
takes an interest In life.
No matter how high the price goes
the ella monster insists upon having
at least six fresh eggs q day to suck
from the shells. Unless they are OF
the freshest Mr.. Monster promptly
goes on a hunger strike-to the de-.
spair q Rvdolph.

TRAVELS "a DAYS

ALASKAN BRAVES DEATH AZ
OWN PRISONER
Sent Alone to Serve Sentence, He
Makes Trip Few Would Have
Dared Attempt.

Seward, Alaska.-The clerk of the
United States District Court at Valdez
has received official notice from the
United States Deputy idarshol at Nu-
shagak that Emile Anderson, resi-
dent of the latter settlement, has SER
we'd a term in jail and has been dis
charged.
This news may not interest any one
In the States. but details of Ander.
sons case will interest many. Ander-
son in the first place lodged himself
in jail and in the second jeopardized
his life and spent thirty-four days
travelling to his prison to serve sen.
tence of only one month.
In January Anderson was convicted
by jury here of assault with dead
ly weapon. The testimony showed
that Emile had wounded his opponent.
who was the aggressor and probably
deserved all he got.
Under the circumstances, the jury
recommended extreme clemency and
the Judge sentenced the prisoner to
thirty days in Jail at Naknek.
There was no boat running to Bris-
tol Bay points, the steamer service
having been discontinued, therefore
Anderson was released on his own
recognizance and directed by the
Judge to make his way to Naknek the
best he could and give himself up to
the marshal there and serve his time.
He was also appointed as special
messenger to convey the writ of-som-
mitment to the marshal.
Possibly If Anderson had f6fled TO
comply with his instructions no one
would have given the matter second
thought, but seemingly such an idea
did not occur to him or, at least, did
not conform to his idea of the proprie-
ties. He obtained passage on fishing
boat as far as Hanna, and there
started the long journey overland to
Naknek.
At that time of the year the weather
was cold and stormy, and with every
convenience such a journey thru an
almost unknown wilderness Is one
that would not be lightly undertaken
by even the most daring Alaskan pros.

For thirty-four days Anderson mush.
ed and waded and swan, sleeping out
under the Arctic skies with no protec-
ton save the campfires he built, and
eating but sparingly of his scanty
store of provisions, fearing that it
would give out before the long jour-
ney was accomplished.
Pushing doggedly forward he final
ly reached Nushagak, where he i'm
mediately presented his writ of COM
mitment to Deputy Marshal Fursman
and announced himself as the pris.
oner designated in the writ. Fursman
took him to Naknek and placed him
in Jail from which he now has been
released.

GRAIN soReHUMs AS FOOD
These Grains, Though Less Digestible
Than Wheat and Corn, Furnish
Va Desirable and Wholesome
Article Of Food.

Washington, ID. C.-Although the
protein OF the grain sorghums has
been shown by dietftic experiments OF
the Office of Home Economics of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture to be
less digestible than that of corn or
wheat, all OF the sorghums ex-
cept kaoliag furnish fairly good
source of protein and practically
as good a source of carbohydrates as
the two grains in most general use
The Department specialists, therefore
find the grain sorghums worthy OF use
in all sections to give variety to the
diet. In regions where other cereals
are not so successfully grown, 1t is
pointed out, the grain sorghums may
contribute materially to the supply Of
substances suitable as human food.
Tests were made with Kafir, fete-
rita, milo and kaoliang, both in the
form o. bread and as mush. Check
tests were made also with corn and
wheat as breads. All six of the
grains were ground into meals of the
same hneness in the same mill In
\the experiments with the breads, the
average digestibility of the protein OF
the wheat was found to be 77.3 per
cent: corn, 500; kafir. 51.2; feterita.
SOC; milo. 40; and kaoliang, 1913 In
the experiments with mushes made
from meals of the four ora''' 60
ghums, the digestibility =.
tein was about 4S per cent for feterita
and kafir, approximately 81 per cent
for milo. and only per cent for kao-
lang. The digestibility of the carbo-
hydrates was high for all six grains,
ranging from 96.3 to 9S.6 per cent.
The results of the invest. -ations as
a whole indicate that while II is best
TO use some wheat -four to make up
for the lack of gluten In the sorghum
meal, fairly large proportion of the
meal may be satisfactorily used in
a mixture with wheat -four In the pre-
paration of common foods. In prepar-
ing the grain sorghums for food It is
important to make certain of the abb
sorption of water In such quantities
that the particles of meal, which are
Enthusiastically hard or fiinty. may
be well softened.
Dwarf kafir, dwarf milo. and feterita
will pop like popcorn. The dwarf
kafir pops more completely than. the
other grains, however. and produces a

TEN LITTLE PAPoosEs
TIE UP BIG RAILROAD
And Ten WlId-eyed indian Mothers
Make Things Hot for Conn.,
pany's Officials.

MsNo lungs not IoT Nom-
pany's Officials.
Sioux City. Ia.-Ten little Indians
tied up shipping In the railroad yards
here the other day. For FIVE hours
ten squaws, mothers of the ten little
brown-skinned papooses. kept the
yard forces on the jump and stormed
the Offices of the Omaha and Illinois
Central Railroads. When the excite
ment was over there was not an OFF,
cial on the scene of action whose col
lar wasn't wilted. And the papooses
cooed thru it all.
In the morning ten sQuaws from the
Indian reservation at Winnebago had
gathered together beadwork, mecca
sins, willow baskets and those other
things Indian women make and had
gone down to the station to catch a
train for Sioux City. About once a
month they take the handiwork to
Sioux City and trade it off for bright
bits Of calico, lace and food. Strung
over the backs of the ten squaws
were ten little brown babies.
A freight train pulled into the sta
ton at Winnebago, headed for Sioux
City, while they waited for the morn
ing express One Of the squaws sud
denly had bright idea. Why not
climb into a box car. that was empty
and ride to Sioux City. 1t was an ex-
ample of the original American house
wife's love for economy.
The Indian women clambered into
the box car. without the train crews
knowledge, and, bouncing and bump
ing along, they arrived in the Sioux
day for ideas. Another squaw sug-
gested that they leave the ten little
papooses in one corner of the box car
until time TO return to Winnebago. So
they unstrapped the babies from their
backs and .trudged Off to town.
After an hour or so, the women hav-
ing disposed Of their wares, they re-
turned to the freight yards. The
freight train was gone, and with 1t the
ten little papooses. Weeping and wall
ing broke forth and the squaws de-
scended on the nearest railroad en-
plOyes in frenzy.
They were directed to the Offices OF
the Omaha line. Business immediate
ly picked up. and 1t was learned that
the freight train had been switched
out and the empty car containing the
ten papooses pushed over to the ILL
nois Central tracks. The wailing
squaws rushed over to the Illinois
Central Offices and menacingly sur
rounded Bruce A. Comstock, city pas
senger and ticket agent.
Mr.. Comstock defended himself and
investigated while the women threat
ened to tear him limb from limb. 1t
was learned that the car had been
picked up by another train and was
merrily hurdling switch frogs. rapidly
putting more distance between the
babies and their mothers.
Wires began to hum with messages,
and the car was stopped sixty miles
down the line. The papooses were
transferred to passenger train for
the return trip.
Late in the afternoon the passenger
train pulled into the station at Sioux
City. The Indian women rushed the
day coach in gang. There they
found the ten little brown-skinned
papooses safe and trying to extract
meals from ten little thumbs.
