A Pioneer Bootlegeer

In connection with the program
incident to the enforcement OF pros
|hibition we are reminded by tie
historian that in the earlier DAYS Of
our beloved country one John Han .
c ,ck was indicted aud arrested for
smuggling a cargo of wines from
Madeira. John must not have been
any ordinary bootlegger, however.
as the incident did not impair his
standing in the colonies. A short
time thereafter he was able to start
off the Declaration of Independence
with his well>known penmanship.
Possibly that was one Cf the reasons
why he wanted Declaration OF
Independence. &C o u m b us Dis

Mr.. Locke and His Pets

Mr.. Thos j. Locke. of Colum-
bus is a lover of animals. For years
he has been making a collection of
wild and domestic animals and the
following from the Columbus Diss
patch will be read with interest:
A queer package was received at
the express Office in Columbus last
Sunday. It was a package that we
are glad did not roll off of the exs
press wagon and break open. For
the package contained two larger
African lions that were consigned
to Mr.. Thomas j. Locke to add to
the fine collection of animals he has
had for some time at his zoo.
There wa> also consigned to Mr..
Locke, at the same time, man.
size baboon, one of the largest in
captivity.
The lions attracted considerable
attention as they were being un
loaded from the train and transfer
red to Mr.. Locke's truck. One of
them was a male and the other q
female. While they showed that
they were yerv much alive. and
while it would not be advisable to
take one of them in Your arms ard
kisses it (as some women in the
big cities do the little woody dogs)
they did not appear to be fierce.
They gazed with their large, calm
eyes upon the people who gazed at
them and seemed to feel at home
in their captivity,
The lions were taken to Mr..
Locke's zoo. where a cage had been
prepared for their reception. and
where they are now at home to call.

Steadily the Locke ZOO is assum.
lag right sizeable proportions. II
is the largest private collection Of
animals Id the South. and Mr.
Locke expects TO add other animals
right along. He has a number ol
elk, several head of deer. coyotes

kangaroo that was es wild as Q
mountain lion when Mr. Locke
first got him. but by kind treat.
ment the animal has been made as
gentle as q dog. There are sons

as gentle as the ordinary house cat.
Last Sunday fully five hundred
people visited Mr.. Locke's ZOO tc
see the animals. No such thing al

to look at them and study their
