we were nothing at all but queer crea.
lures to be put some place where we
could be gaxed at as being very odd.
And one person said more severe things
than any Of the Others"
my DEAR" said Mr.. Platypus. you
mistO0k them-that Is you took what
they said In quite the wrong spirit.
It's very great honor to be as we
are. And to be sure any museum or
zoo would be glad to have us with
them. We're different from all other
creatures, and not only that but we're
mixture Of different ones.
They were quite right when they
couldn't decide whether we were ani.
mails or not"
"Were they1" asked Mrs. Platypus.
"Yes," Mr.. Platypus continued,
"we're a mixture of animal, fish and
bird"
Indeed" exclaimed Mrs. Platypus.
Then It was not an insult they paid
mel"
"Ah, no. 1t was q compliment. You
see," Mr.. Platypus continued, I'VE have
a bill like duck, our feet are web
feet. our tails IRE horny and we can
fight with them when we are angry
and swim with them when we are act.
Ing like fishes" Mr.. Platypus gurg.
led for he thought he had made q
joke.
YES, was ready to fight anyone
and anything with my tail just short
time ago." said Mrs. Platypus.
I'VE can choose many homes and be
comfortable in them ALL" continued Mr..
Platypus. I'VE can live by the sea.
climb to the top Of tall tree. And
what Is more when we are up In the
tree we can gaze about and see the
wOrld-at least the world nearby, and
then we can dive from the tree into
the sea-"
80 we can" said Mrs. Platypus.
"And can lAg eggs and have beautiful
children"
Indeed yes" agreed Mr.. Platypus.
$50 you are no longer angry?" he ask
ed. "Just think of being the only kind
of a creature who can do so many
things. Great men think we are inter-
esting, and children think we are fun.
ny, indeed. Isn't that finef"
'Of course 1t u.s." said Mrs. Platypus.
NJ suppose those people were admiring
me and thinking how wonderful II was
to be SO unusual. I was all wrong In
thinking they were insulting me-"
Eyes. you were all wrong In that"
said Mr.. Platypus. But you're not
wrong In anything else. for you're a
fine, unusual creature, and like you
so much because you are just as I am,
and do the same things. We're the
happy Platypus Pair. and do rub your
back on part of my rock, to show that
now you're feeling pleased"
So Mrs. Platypus rubbed her back
on the rock and gurgled! Then she
felt as happy as her husband, and very
soon the now happy Platypus Pair
climbed to the top Of high tree, and
In a little while made the most wonder,
full of dives deep down into the water

We're smiling and certainly looked like

HAS REASON FOR ENVY

Minnesota is beginning to look to.
wards North Dakota as a probable
source OF its future fuel supply. The
St. Paul Dispatch recently gives prom
inence to the following interesting ar.
ticle on this subject:
THE fuel shortage in the eastern
half Of the United States, in which
Minnesota has unfortunately been in.
volved through the unexpected order
OF Federal Fuel Administrator Gar.
field, has tendency to call attention
to the practically unlimited supply Of
Ignite coal in North Dakota. ,. g..
Despite the fact that, meteorOlOgic

and the extreme temperatures report.
ed from that state give uninformed
re"n'e a mistaken conception OF its
climate, there are few sections of the
country so calmly viewing the prob.
lens arising from the nations fuel
shortage.
I'm direct contrast, Minnesota has
some reason to envy the equamity
with which its neighbors Immediately
west view the situation. Minnesota oc-
cupies a peculiar position in relation
to the coal supply. The state has no
coal mines. It's supply OF fuel of that
character must be shipped in. Form.
erly the bulk of it came fro meastern
mines, up the lake by boat, with
relatively short rail haul, despite the
long distance from the mines. An
other source of supply has been the
all-rail shipments from Illinois and
Iowa coal fields. A third possibility is
the Ignite supply of North Dakota.
I'm view of the apparent necessity
OF using the entire eastern coal pro-
duction in eastern states and the inhi.
bition on shipments from the coal
fields Immediately south, it may be
that the people OF this state have not
paid sufficient attention to Ignite

Physicians Unable to Determine
Whether Another Operation
is Needed
FAMILY SEEMS OPTIMISTIC

New York, Feb. 9.-The condition
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who un-
derwent two operations last Wednes,
day, was reported at Roosevelt hos
pital early today as somewhat i'm
proved" 3.s
Marked improvement during the last
"a hours in the condition of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was indicated in
O bulletin issued at o'clock last night
by the physicians attending him at
Roosevelt hospital The bulletin said
the "outlook is very encouraging"
"Dr. Duel called on Colonel Roose
welt at SIS O'Clock" said the text Of
the bulletin. Colonel Roosevelt has
had a very comfortable day, and is
progressing favorably in every way.
Temperature and pulse have been
normal throughout the day, and the
violent symptoms of his internal ear
inflammation are subsiding rapidly"
May be Further Operations.
Despite the encouraging tone of to-
days bulletins, Colonel Roosevelt's
doctors have indicated that they would
be unable to determine before today
whether further operations would be
necessary.
Tuesday the Colonel underwent an
operation for assesses which had
formed in his ears, although he was
only recovering from another opera
ton performed few days before at
his Oyster Bay home for fistula.
Acute inflammation.
Thursday acute inflammation de-
veloped in the colonels inner left ear
which resulted in the hurried calling
Of conferences by the specialists who
have been attending him, as they
feared it might extend to the mastoid
process. At their conclusion it was
announced that the patients condition
was serious but not critical" and the
doctors would be unable to say until
4S hours had elapsed whether an
other operation would be necessary.
Members of Colonel Roosevelt's s
family, who have been at the hospital
yesterday and today, were very optl-
mistic over the reports of the ply
sicians and in announcing tonight's bull
letin, Miss Josephine Strycker, Col.
onel Roosevelt's private secretary,
said there was nothing noted from to.
