Feeding q Llama.

A most unhappy fate befell young
llama that came into the port Of New
York on the q. 8. s. Munaires, says a
contributor to the Geological Society
Bulletin. United States sailors won
the animal at a ball game In Buenos
Aires, and brought him north with the
intention Of presenting him to the New
York Geological Park. Not realizing
his capacity for food, they failed to
bring enough hay to last until they
reached port, especially since they gen.
erously permitted the llama to wander
into the hay compartment at will and
eat all he wished at each visit. The
hay gave out when the ship was cross
ing the equator. but the llama solved
the difficulty temporarily by discover
ing several brooms and eating the last
wisp of straw from the handles.
In desperation, the men collected all
the brooms on board and fed them to
the llama. When the brooms were
gone. the animal became demonstra-
tive, but he refused every substitute
until they offered him dried prunes.
On that diet he arrived in New York
alive and apparently well. but during a
sudden cold spell he developed bron-
chial troubles, and finally died Of
pneumonia.

Hata for Husbands Only.

wore q hat and had his hair knotted
on the top Of his head. He was only
child. and I said to the cook. us that
little boy really marriedT"
do you mean that mann" the cook
asked, pointing at the child.
said, "Yes," and learned that the
little fellow, who was only eleven
years old, had wife Of ten, to whom
he had been legally married. Although
they would continue to live with their
parents for the next two or three
years, the boy was referred to as q
man." and had gil the privileges Of
q full-grown member Of the commu-
nifty.
Near the imam" was q fellow Of
forty-seven, who wore his hair parted
in the middle and hanging in a long
braid down his back. Because he was
unmarried, he could not wear hat
or tie up his hair; no matter what age
he reached, he would always be con-
sidered to be a boy. The two were
photographed side by side, to the great
disclosure Of the eleven-year-old man.

DECLARE SIZE A HANDICAP
Women Of Generous Proportions Say
Their Fragile Sisters Are Pro-

Suzanne looked fearful, and tears do
not suit Suzanne. You see, she stands
six feet In her silk stockings, wears
seven shoe and a seven glove, and isn't
bit proud Of the fact.
My Amazon had had q big disap-

news that little fluffy Maisie. a doll

ing Dicks ring.
Said Suzanne: 1--WE big women
haven't a chance. A man always falls
before the tiny woman. Why do men
prefer little women?"
That query set me thinking. DO
men prefer little women to girls of the
Amazon type? Has size any power
when II comes to question Of falling
In love?
Undoubtedly women like big men. A
giant catches admiration from the eye
Of any and every woman in his vicin.

you'll find that there's grain of tru h

Little bits Of fluff do appeal to the
masculine sex. The wee woman gets
there all the time man likes to feel
that he could pick up his girl in his

So you will find the big men carry

This winter of winters" took another
jump the last of the week. Followed by

growing much colder, Saturday gave us
the worst blizzard of the winter. Roads
became impossible with snow and drifts
and it will be several days before condi-
tons improve much. Except on the
main road to South Paris, where . large
crew of men shoveled Sunday, little has
yet been done to open the highways, and
the process under present conditions
must be slow at best. Snowshoes and

are good citizens in embryo. Recently

Wash, made the following statement:
"Of all the boys passing through the
Juvenile court In the last year. not one
was an active scout" There are 100
boys affiliated with the Tacoma coun-
ell. so this statement really means
something. Not one boy who came up
as a case before The court was an &C

was shown that In only two cases were
the offenders boys who had had any
