EDUCATING THE CITY CHILD
Cow Recently Placed In New York
Zoo Source Of Much Delight to
the Juveniles.

New York's zoo seems to be the
first one to get a COW for exhibition
among the strange animals gathered
from all quarters of the globe. The
cow was presented by the Dairymen's
league.
So. now, no longer will city children
entertain q vague idea that milk as
they know 1t originates somehow In
bottle or tin can. The American
animal that generates milk will be
right before their eyes, and, no doubt,
at fixed times Of day she will be
MIXED in the presence of large and
deeply interested Juvenile audiences.
In st. Louis 1t was found that there
were large numbers of children that
had never seen a sheep, a somewhat
smaller number that had never beheld
a pig, and q very considerable per-
centage to whom a COW was only
picture.
A COW is, Of course, as appropriate
in a zoo as bear, and ours, like
others, will be graced with one. Chill
dren will learn where the milk comes
from and when they are older they
can visit a flrst-class dairy and see
what is done to 1t to keep 1t whole
soonest. Louis Globe-Defnocrat.

Makes Living by Kite FLYING.

Kite flying is usually looked upon as
q pleasurable pastime for boys-or
politicians.
An enterprising Brighton firm, how
ever, has turned 1t into a paying com
mercial proposition, notes the London
Daily News. Mrs. Bernard Roach,
more popularity known as Bobby" is
the dominating figure in the firm.
She makes kites of all designs and
sizes, and It is amazing to see the uses
to which she puts them. Primarily
they are used for advertising.
Bobby" however, has been towed
out to sea in a canoe by one of her
own kites; she has fished with them

tributed pamphlets from them; played
what resembles an aerial jazz band
with them, and has used them for
keeping the birds down while shoot

This is a story told by Representa-

villain was to climb a ladder to a

to find his way to freedom. Then.
when about to escape. he was to be
shot by some one on the outside, after
which he was to fall back from the
ladder, exclaimlng:
Heavens, I'm shotP or something
like that before breathing his last.
"On this occasion the revolver Of
the man behind the scenes who was to
fire blank cartridge didn't work, and
the man filing away at the bars could
not consistently fall back, exclaiming
that he was shot. But he was re
sourceful actor, and so he fell from
the ladder at the right place, anyhow
AS he did so he yelled:
