Some one would say that it was nice
day and just the day for a walk, and
then some one else would say he
thought SO, too, and that would be the
end of the conversation"
UNLESS they went for walk, and
they would walk instead of talk" said
Jack.
"Ha, ha. ha," laughed Teddy. 'That
is the first time you haven't agreed
with me. I like that. But I was going
to tell you that our cousins have diff
ferent names, such as the five-horned
CRATES, the two-horned CRATES, and
others like US in many ways.
"But, oh, how glad am that am
in the ZOO, for where we come from,
way over In East Africa, they don't
care how they kill us. They're just
cruel enough to kill for the sake of
killing, but we're safe in the zoo, and,
oh, how glad I am
"Well," said Jack, II hate to agree
with you, as I knew you don't like me
to. but I can't help agreeing with you
that am glad that I'm in the zoo and
can't be killed!
perhaps you won't mind me agree
ing with you about that"
"Oh, no." Teddy. "That's different"
Mr.. Giraffe, in his yard, was talking
to his son. "Once," he said, "there
was story written. There may have
I,,rt
"Oh, think there have been many,
many stories written and that the
world Is full of books" said Young
Giraffe.
II have my doubts about that" said
Mr.. Giraffe. II don't see books around,
only once in great, great while some
one comes to the zoo carrying a book.
"And have thought that that must
be the book in which was the story
of which I am speaking. There can't
be books and books and the world
can't be full of them, for the zoo Is
part Of the world and l am sure
there are no books around here. There
are houses and cages and yards and
paths, and driveways, and walks and
benches. There are places where they
keep food, and there IS water to wash
out our homes, but books-oh, no, I
have not seen books around"
maybe there aren't books around
our homes" said Master Giraffe, "but
I am sure there are lots Of them, for
I have heard children speak Of this
and that story, and of something they
read here, and Of another thing they
read there"
"Don't pay any attention to them"
said Mr.. Giraffe. "You might become
q bright giraffe and that would never
do. We are naturally stupid and 1t Is
so nice to be stupid. 1t doesn't require
any thought or effort or work. But I
know there was one story written once
and I have always worried about It,
ut was about giraffe having a
sore throat and 1t was so bad because
his throat was so long and there was
| so much to be sore. 1t has always
worried me-"
Don't let 1t worry you" said Young
Giraffe "That's story I've heard
many times even in my short life.
It's people trying to be funny. 1t Is
about as senseless to try to be funny
and not succeed very we'll as it is to be
stupid as we are"

PREMIER PAINTS GLOOMY
 OUTLOOK FOR BULGARIA
(By Associated Press)


 SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. 22.-Bulgaria is plunging into a hard winter, said Premier Alexander Tsankoff recent ly to The Associated Press. "The feeding of the country is a grave problem" he continued Although we grow wheat we have had short crop, and also we have had to turn over large quantity of grain to Ju- goslavia under the restitution treaty. We are trying to develop a new granerY in Southern Bulgaria. the premier went on to say, but the money is lacking for development Our payments to the allies amount to 157 7030,000 levy annually, and we are meeting them fully and prompt ly. The support of the reparat tional and military commissions alone costs us 30,00O,OOO leva. To Serbia we are paying 116,00O,OOO annually, in addition to her share of the gen. eral reparations. There is nothing left for improvements of any kind, either agricultural, railway or educa- tional.

ENCOURAGING CRIME

Carelessness and stupidity on the part of the victims is responsible for much of the thievng and swindling which has reached such alarming propor- tons in this country, amounting to approxmately two billions year.
 Some of the specific weaknesses of our easy marks' are pointed out by leading crlrmooglst, who enumerates cashing checks for strangers leav- ing automobiles unprotected carrying unnecessarily large sums of money buying real estate without see ing it or Investigating its title investing III stocks and schemes without consulting banker tryng to beat gamblers at their own games, lending money and extending credit to persons of doubtful honesty and
 If people fail to exercise any caution whatever in these matters no law official action can et- fectivelv protect them from thieves, swindera and dead beats.
 While the punishment of criminals often oe- culs t usually happens too late to do the vlct1m any good. so far as recovering his money or prop orty IS concerned
 Honest people have it in their own power to greatly reduce losses from the )ovo mentioned causes by merely exercising ordinary good Judg- moi instead of ndugag in reckless practices which enco,n ages crime.

WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND

Everyone leaves behind some impression the world whether for good or evil Often what the world calls success during person s lifetime turns to dross in the final accounting. Mere accumua- tion of wealth is poor standard by which to judge the usefulness of ones llfe
 When the late Franklin D. Lane, former Secre- tary of the Interior died in 1921, it said that he left no estate whatever Yet he of the finest public servants who graced President s cabinet.
 The estate of the late Samuel Gompers amounts to only about $3O0OO an insignificant in this age of -millionaires but the influence of his life work will be felt for many generations yet to 
 Hundreds of instances may be recalled in which men who have powerful impression on the world have died comparatively poor in material posses slons
 After all, the most priceless legacy one may leave to his family and to his country is record of duty we'll performed While material success is not to be despsed, 1t should be sought thru the sacrifice of ideals.
 Service to humanity is of more consequence than the accumulation of wealth, and true success depends upon what we contribute to the betterment of our fellow men.

STAR PLAYER MINUS LEG

It is safe to say that if he should lose leg the average boy would immediately give up the idea of becoming a football player-and with good reason.
 But Buck Cole, of Raleigh, N. C.. refused to be deprived of the excitement of the gridron although his right leg had to be amputated few inches be- low the knee, as result of accident when he was seven years old.
 Young Cole is w17 and for two years has been the star right guard of the Metrodist Orphan age team of Raleigh Jack Cameron, the team coach declared that Cole is faster than many boys with two good legs and gets the ground with a sort of springing jump that is surprising, He does not use artificial limb while playing the game.
 As result of his good work, Cole will be cap- tain of his team next year. His success under a great handicap is another fine Illustration of what may be accomplished by pluck and determination

We recently witnessed several hundred mem bers of Congress gravely deliberatng the prac ticability of changing the name of a mountain Not wthstandng the press of business before the ques- ton was threshed out pro and con and 1t was final ly decided to allow the name to remain unchanged. For many years Tacoma has endeavored to have the name of Mt. Rainier changed to Mt. Tacoma. Seattle has nullfied it's efforts, account of the possible advertising given the town.

Kodiak the hustling little town to the westward, is to have deputy collector of customs, and several other governmental offices and is already beginning to take on metropolitan airs. The town is ideally situated in regard to fishing and grazing, and we look for really big projects to develop there this year. Seldovia has also increased largely in population and industrial plants the past year. The westward district at present is marking time, wait ing for oil to be struck at Kanatak.
