Blind OK Dies in
Pining for Gander

Greensboro, Ala.-The blind
OK, famous as the protege and
ward of stately gander on the
j. A. Holcroft plantation, ten
miles west of this city, is dead,
and those on the HolcrOft farm
believe his death was due di-
rectly to separation from the
gander.
Since last fall, when the OK
lost it's sight, the gander had
acted as personal guardian Of
its huge, helpless friend. They
were in constant association
the gander always present to
fight away other cattle, on the
spot when the OK needed drink
at the nearby pasture creek, and
alert to every chance to give
service.
Recently it became necessary
to transfer the OK to another
field. The gander was unable to
follow. 1t was unused to the
new environs and a separation
resulted. 1t was too much for
the OK. He pinned the first after
noon and dropped and gloomed
the following day and finally
lay down and died. And thus
ended one of the strangest
friendships on record.

Opossums Instead of Cats.

the cellar of my home. One night

hear grunts coming up from the eel

grunted like pigs. These Opossums
lived in the cellar nearly all winter. I

While Mrs. Leeds was carrying on
her conquest of royalty at their home
towns, young Leeds was being kept
under the care of a small crew of serv-
ants, instructors, and others afforded
only by mean millions. Here is an
account of how the youth grew up:
Young Leeds had every imaginable
safeguard placed about him to prevent
his being kidnapped and to shield him
from other harm. His mother in
stalled him in her former home in
Montclair, n. ]. When he stepped
from the carriage or automobile each
morning at the Montclair academy, he
seemed to breathe freely. For most
of the time he attended school there
his mother was in Europe and he lived
alone with the servants to minister
TO his wants and detectives to protect
him--but all 10 keep him from enjoy
ing the pleasures of other boys of
his age"
His mother, while abroad, got daily
cabled reports on his health. Then,
later, she took him TO England to COM
pete his education, giving as the ex-
cuse that he might not become dis
sipated like so many rich American
boys"
Recently in America.
Young Leeds, around whom the
Leeds millions really center, was in
this country only few weeks ago.
| He arrived in Los Angeles late i'll
February on his return from an ad
venturuus trip into the wilds of the
Sumatra jungles. where he hunted
tigers. He had been bitten in the arm
by poisonous insect. He went to
Sanitarium in Shanghai, but did not
recover wholly from the Infection and
hurried to this country TO undergo an
operation in New York.
While he was crossing the continent
his mother. believed to be dangerous
ly i'll, was preparing for an operation
in Athens for an intestinal trouble.
He went to the Ritz-Carlton. Intending
10 arrange for his own surgical treat
ment, but news of his mothers con-
dition led him TO abandon that project
and sail for Europe.
