Zoo officials are puzzled about a
peculiar state of affairs that appears
to exist in the swan inclosure, along
side the arched bridge just inside the
Harvard street gate of the Zoo
grounds.
Visitors will notice that a sign on
the fence conveys the information
that among the few birds authorized
to associate with the swans in the
creek below are some fiamingos, half
a dozen geese several cranes and one
or two other related species.
Specifically, there is no mention
whatever made of storks, those re-
markable feathered creatures who
have made quite a reputation for
themselves along certain lines. These
strange birds are kept closely barred
blings.
Yet, one of the storks has been re-
ported lowering of late right over the
swan department of the National
Geological Park.
The plain, unadorned truth of the
matter is. Sh-h-h, Mrs. White Swan is
expecting SwanletS, or whatever it
is you call 'em. Even now she is
patiently awaiting for the big event.

beside her. beneath the tall shade
trees on the bank just around the
bend from the bridge.
Mrs. Swan Sits and Waits.
Mrs. Swan is biding her time by
sitting, or setting, as you prefer,
atop large mound of twigs,
branches, leaves and grass. She has
been setting, or sitting, for about a
week. If she follows closely the call
of the mysterious stork. she will sit
on that pile of sticks, rain or shine,
for about two more weeks.
And as a reward for her motherly
instinct and perseverance she will

from this city to the tournament to
be held in Cheyenne on May Sth.
Considering the fact that at the time
our boys competed at Laramie last
week they had only practised a couple
of times with their guns, they made
a remarkable showing. AT Laramie
our boys tied for third place and
had it not been for an accident which
prevented one of the guns from fir
ing they would have had even a bet
ter showing. This week and next
weeks practicing with the guns will
familiarize the boys with that part of
the work and they will undoubtedly
do very we'll at Cheyenne. That the
business men of Rawlins are proud
of the boys was shown by the fact
that ove $40 was raised in a few
minutes by the committee.

gists keep record of the name and ad-
dress of each purchaser of alcoholic prep
arations that are known to be used for
beverage purposes. The report says:
"The promiscuous sale of proprietary
preparations high in alcoholic content and
low in medicinal value should not be en-

BOOTLEGGING IN IRELAND

According to a special cable in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer carrying a Dublin date
line OF July 4, bootlegging of whisky in
wet Ireland is a paying business. The
explanation is made that it is paying
business because whisky from the dis
tilleres is SO expensive, retailing at four
dollars a bottle. Moonshine in Ireland is
called poteen and can be made at cost
of from sixpence to eightpence bottle,
providing enormous profits to bootleg
gers. But if the profits are large so
also are the penalties says the Enquir-
er's story. six months Imprisonment
and fine of hundred pounds ($500) is
the one penalty
Which goes to show that licensing the
liquor traffic does not prevent boot
Logging.
