 "t am returning on the Olympic. June t5." he said. ''t don't suppose l could book an earlier passage.
 Admiral Sims declared he probably
 would not make any further state mcnt until his return to tho tinted States. He is busy with voluminous correspondence. which averages about 1o letters per day from friends in England.
 This declaration brought from the 900 guests repetition of the uproar- ious applause which had greeted the remarks of Wilson Cross. vice -presi- dent of the American Chamber of t-ommerce in London. fin introducing Admiral Sims.

Solved the Mystery.

While still a novice in the art of
stenography l was called one day to
take very important, letter from the
president of the firm. In my nervous
ness I failed to notice that there were
but few blank pages in my notebook,
and as result was compelled to write
on the cover of the book. All went
smoothly in the transcription of my
notes until / reached the cover, and
then try as 1 might l could not make
out single word. Finally in despera-
ton I went to the president and told
him of my plight. He was quite kind,
offering to dictate that portion of the
letter over and suggested that / en-
deavor to read few lines so that he
might get the connection. However,
this was an impOssibility on my part,
whereupon he began studying the lit
tie dots and dashes and suddenly
blurted out: "Can it be that you are
trying to read your notes upside
down?" which to my great consterna-
ton and embarrassment solved the
mystery nstantly.-Chicago Tribune.

MANS QUEER PETS
Animals and Birds That Have
Figured in History.
Death Of King Alexander Of Greece,
Credited to Bite Of Monkey, Calls
Forth "reminiscences.

The report, which later was denied,
that King Alexander of Greece died
from the bite Of q pet monkey, and
the presentation to the prince OF
Wales of young koala, or Australian
bear, mountain devil, and barking
lizard, during his trip around the
world, bring to mind the peculiar pets
of nations and of famous men and
women of history, says bulletin from
the Washington HEADQUARTERS of the
National Geographic society.
The natives of Pisa, Italy, kept
tame eagles. The Florentines kept
lions, and the Romans had wolves, the
latter as an outgrowth of the Romulus-
Remus story of the foundation OF the
CITY, Many peoples besides the Ro-
mans have made pets of wolves. De-
spite their proverbial ferocity in the
wild state, many, taken as cubs, grow
tame and manifest the traits OF a
faithful dog as companion.
The history of the sport Of hawk
ing, or falconry, engaged in to some
extent today, extends to prehistoric
times and recalls the intelligent devo-
ton displayed by the pet hawk OF
Genghis Khan, which three times in
succession dashed a cup Of water out
of the hand Of its master, who was
thirst-parched after a hunt, In order
to save his life. The water had been
collected drop by drop from pool on
the height of cliff. When the hawk
had deliberately knocked the cup from
his hand for the third time and at
last sent it spinning between the rocks,
the master drew his sword and killed
the bird. Then he YEARLY climbed
the cliff, only to find the dead body of
the most poisonous variety of snake
coiled at the bottom of the clear pool
Monkeys have nearly always been
general favorites, perhaps because of
the uncanny intelligence they show
The pathetic little beggars with the
organ grinders on our streets, the
mascOts of airplanes, and Prof. Gar
ner's Little Susie" are notable exam
pies. King Solomon had apes brought
into his kingdom once in every three
years, and after stating this fact, the
account naively adds that he exceeded
all the kings of the earth for wisdom.
The part played by dogs and horses
in the World war is a complete story
in itself, but cats, chickens, cows, and
goats shared with them the honorS
among the boys in France. The cats
in the trenches furnished amusement,
so the tale is told. Puss seemed to
have no fear of bullets, but manifested
high degree of annoyance when her
glossy coat was spattered with mud
during the process Of washing her
face and combing her fur on the top
of a parapet.
Every child has heard the story of
Dick Whfttington's cat which was sent
to sea and won her poor little master
fortune by killing the rats that
wrought such havoc on the dinner ia
BILE of foreign king. But, sad to
relate, the history of this early lord
mayor of London does not substantiate
the legend.
