Hopes Likes His
Rhinoceros Meat

They played a low down trick on
Major Hopes at the Dancing Club
last week. AS a mark of special favor
the ladies presented him with what
was alleged to be a piece of picked
rhinoceros meat brought from AT
RIGA by Will Richard as one of the
souvenirs of his hunt.
Flattered at being the sole recipient
of this delicacy, the major chewed on
it with a determination and persist
ancy that vas a tribute to his gal
lantry.
Discouraged, finally, in spite of be-
ing urged on all sides to "stay with
it," he gave it up. The majors snorts
of indignation can be imagined when
he learned that the African t,dbit was
only an especially tough piece of salt
pork.
