Princes Favorite Sport

Among the toys provided by Miss
Henry for her pets is an oddly con-
structed wagon. 1t is stoutly made
and painted red. In front is bar
raised about two feet above the
wagon bed. In the rear is a board
forming a sort If handle, by which
the wagon may be pushed. This
wagon belongs to Prince, a tiger.
Princes favorite outdoor sport is
to get on the wagon, place his fore
paws on the bar and wait for some
body to push him. He used to have
a fellow tiger do the job, but the
other tiger got tired Of this sort of
play. So now Prince gets on his
wagon and just waits. He will
stand on the wagon indefinitely, in
the hope that somebody will come

While Miss Henry talked Miss
Mutt stood by listening and gazing
fondly into her mistress's eyes. The
bear traces her ancestry back to
tribe which lives in the Himalayan
Mountains. Her coat of fur is a
glistening black, except for an
orange spot on her neck under the
chin. This sort of color gives Miss

AS often happens in human rela-
tions, propinquity is responsible for
the growth Of affection between
beasts and man.
"If a beast takes a deep-rooted
dislike to person, that person
might as we'll give up" said Miss
Henry, in describing her experiences
with her jungle pets.

mother, which happened to be a fox
terrier. The fox terrier took tender
care of the strange waif. When the
waif grew to the meat eating size
the dog became frightened and had
to be relieved of her charge. Mean
time Napoleon's other brother shared
less happy fate. One died because
no dog would mother it and the
other was killed by bulldog. Napo-
leon, by way of revenge, could now
destroy all the bulldogs in creation
in about two minutes if he chose.
To make Napoleon's life more un-
happy, his father, Teddy, disgraced
himself. He killed a man. Teddy
was owned by professional animal
show. One day in Chicago, while
being put into a baggage car, he
killed his trainer. He was not shot,

Have Big Appetites

Keeping wild animals is an ex-
pensive pleasure. Napoleon eats
sixteen to eighteen pounds of meat
day and it costs about So a week
to maintain him. The tigers and
leopards each eat about Sc worth of
meat week, while Miss Mutt de-

mails are not pampered with choice
cuts of beef. They eat horse meat
The horse meat is prepared at the

Bedtime stories of a strikingly
realistic sort might be told by Miss
Henry's pets if they possessed the
power of speech.
Tragedy, for instance, plays
large part in the life of Napoleon.
He still eats his horsemeat with rel
lsh, with now and then an occasional
steak By way of delicacy. He stands
up as proud as any lion ever did in
the jungle and permits you to
scratch the neck hidden in his great
name and yawns only to show you
his long teeth. Yet he has had
rather sad time of it. 1t was all
due to his parents.
He is four years old now, but
owing to good feeding his fellow
creatures say he looks ten. He is
an orphan. Born in captivity, Ma
poleon early discovered that his
mother didn't love him. He had
three other brothers and sisters. At

she never has suffered any injury
more serious than an unintentional
scratch.
But" says Miss Henry, "you
must always be On your guard. You
never can tell when a beast of the
jungle is going to revert to type and
nip off finger or two"
The man who takes care Of her
lions has had a couple of fingers
nipped off by the very lions which

Weighing about 100 pounds the bear
is plump for her size and makes a
good armful when she climbs into
Miss Henry's lap.
Miss Mutt is not unacquainted
with the crowded streets of New
York. One day Miss Henry took her
on an automobile ride which ended
at Broadway hotel for tea. Miss
Mutt caused CONSERVATION in the
hotel lobby. She became frightened
by the confusion which ensued, but
was soon pacified by piece of maple
sugar. With the maple sugar in her
pink mouth she was quite willing to
make friends with the hotel guests.
So far as vanity goes Miss Mutt is
not at all conscious of her charms,
for she dislikes cameras. No doubt
the clicking of the shutter arouses
some dim ancestral memory of the
clicking of a rife trigger.
When alone, Miss Mutt has three
favorite pastimes. They are play
ing with the hose in the back yard,
where she sometimes takes shower
bath; standing on her head and toy
ing with a broomstick. The broom
stick is her chief amusement.
While sitting in Miss Henry's
arms Miss Mutt suddenly began
munching the back Of her hairy
wrist and mumbling. Miss Henry
said this is the way the bear "tells
her troubles" The troubles all dis
appeared when Miss Mutt got a
piece of cake.
Several of Miss Henry's tigers
and leopards have become so power
full that it is dangerous to play with
them. A slap from one Of their soft
paws might knock ono sensefess.

RECEPTION AT THE
BAPTIST PASTORIUM

The reception for the members of
the Baptist church which was held at
the pastorium yesterday afternoon
from to o'clock and in the evening
from 8 to 10 o'clock was an exceed
ingly delightful and informal affair.
Several months ago this beautiful
residential property was purchased by
the Baptist folk for their pastorium,
and they are justly proud of it, for
there is not one IN Florida that can
surpass it and probably none that can
compare with it. The transaction
was made by the deacons of the
church and they had to act quickly,
therefore the purchase of the property
vas left entirely in their hands. They
were confident that the members of
IL church would approve of the
property and they were right in their
conclusions. for seemingly every men,
Ter of the church is convinced it was
a splendid business deal.
Rev. and Mrs C. L. Collins have the
home comfortably arranged with their
| furniture and it was the general COM
ment of every caller at the home yes
iterday that it looked as tho the house
was built for them. There emanated
from every room an atmosphere of
Iinformality and cordiality. The en-
tire house was thrown open to allow
e. =.
their new pastorium. Flaming poin-
settias and other bright flowers add
ed to the home-Iike air and the many
callers spent a pleasant time which
was largely due to the cordial and
gracious hospitality of Rev. and Mrs.
Collins and their attractive daughter.
Miss Ruth Collins.
Vocal and instrumental selections
were rendered during the reception
hours and at the evening hours the
young folks had an exceedingly mer-
ry time singing in chorus many of
the popular songs.
During the reception hours several
different ladies and girls, members of
the church, assisted in serving ice
cream and cake.
At least one hundred and fifty peo-
PIE called during the afternoon and
evening and all expressed themselves
as being delighted over the purchase
of the pastorium property, which
enables the 0cala Baptists to furnish
their pastor and his family with an
elegant home.

REST ROOM FOR VISITORS
AT THE FAIR NEXT WEEK

The managers of the fair have each
year seen that there was a rest room
fer all visitors to the fair, but they
have surpassed themselves this year
in arranging for the comfort of their
visitors.
Mr.. E. G. Jordan of the furniture
house of E. C. Jordan & Co., donated,
delivered and put in place all the fur
niture and furnishings to be used in
this room this year. Mr.. j. J. Gerig,
proprietor of Gerig's drugstore, who
has always been so liberal in provid-
ing the ladies with the best of toilet
accessories, assures them that he will
have for their use this year every
thing necessary for their comfort and
convenience.
Besides the regular maid, there will
be a nurse in attendansce for the
children, which will enable mothers to
attend the fair accompanied by their
children.
