, Hamilton Bones moved to the NAL
! Palace. the governor generals
mansion. With fastidious tastes and
an eye for color. he went on a diet OF
roses, hiblscuscS, chrysanthemums
and delphiniulns and remained on
that diet until Mrs. Stimson dlscov
cred what was happening to her
flower beds.
a Name Out CT a Book
When he came to Manila. this
goats name was only William. Miss
Candace Stimson. the governor-gen-
eall's sister. came from a tour IN the
Orient with a number OF Edgar wal
lacc's books, which she had picked
IN in Shanghai. One IA a yarn Of
African adventure in which William
Hamilton Bones was the name OF a
native infant who had been rescued
from the jungle BY a British army Oh
ticer. Miss Stimson saw the similar
itr. Thus a goat came to be caiied
William Hamilton Bones.
II was at Malacan Palace that VIII
liam Hamilton Bones became &C
uuainted with The Old Soak, the
world-famou Stlmson parrot. ana a
warm friendship began. Soon par
rot and goat we're bleating back ana
forth to each other.
After Mrs. Stimson had decided
that she liked flowers better than
goats. William Hamilton Bones was
staked out at the Manila Polo Club,
where he became the teams mascot.
He replaced in that capacity a 40
ycar-old mule named Caruso, once
the property Of Govcrnor-general
Forbes. who had become too old n
infirm to travel about with the polo
ponies. At the Polo club William
Hamilton Bones developed his appc-
tite. He has an especial fondness for
cigarettes, but refuses to accept them
when lighted. Neither does he cal
tin or glass. but he is not to be trusted
with anything else. Also at the o
club William Hamilton Bones buttco
many locally famous posteriors
though never viciously and always IN
a gentle spirit. Once he went into
a main highway and refused to per
nit traffic to pass until a squad o.
men was sent to remove him.
1t mnst be remembered that VII
i liam Hamilton Bones is not as othe'

(NEA Service WRITER

Washington, July 22.-FeW If any
voats have ever risen to the interna-
.ional nov of the goat William
Hamilton Bones. Perhaps that IS be-
.ausc Washington correspondents,
who have contrived the fame of Will
lam Hamilton Bones. would rather
write about a goat any day than about
1 politician. Although, if the capital
we're full of goats. one might also
eventually weary Of writing 0
goats.
William Hamilton Bones probably
would not now be within our gates
had it not been for the widely cred
tied report that he was the personal
GOAT of Secretary Of State Henry L.
Stimson. Not even the department OF
agriculture. which feared that Will
liam Hamilton Bones might have foot
and mouth disease. surra. rillderpest
or pleuropneunonia. could hold out
forever against the secretary OF
states own personal goat.
AS a matter of fact. William Hamll-
ton Bones is and Vas the own person
al goat Of Capt. Eugene Regnier. the
secretary's military aide. One hesl-
tates to suggest just how much culpa-
bility attaches to Capt. Regll.er Tor
letting the story get out that 1t was
the secretary's goat-a story which SO
immensely strengthened the position
OF William Hamilton Bones.
A Very Lucky Goat
Probably William Hamilton Bones
does not know his luck, for this gov
eminent has barred in recent years a
count and countess. the KarOlyis. and
q member Of the British parliament
Shapurji Saklatvala. for less. These
and others who were kept out were
never suspected of hoof and mouth
disease or rinderpcSt.
Now that he's here, the citizenship
OF William Hamilton Bones will b.
taken for granted. He will not hav'
to promise a judge, as Mrs. Roslk;
Schwimmer and Martha GRADER re
fused to promise, to fight our enemies
William Hamilton Bones is willing
nay, pleased-to butt anybody at an,
time and all times.
The fact is that William Hamilton
Bones, the worlds most famous goa
and probably the worlds most widel
Travelled goat, has always had extra
ordinary luck. Once he was a poo
4 orphan in the hills of Hawaii, bleat
ing piteously and barely old enough t
wobble. Then he was taken to live
palace. Now he is an American cit
isen! There are few success storie
to beat that. It has all happened I

There was q fire alarm. The en-
gines and hook and ladder wagons

Zapatistas thought the fire trucks
we're war chariots and the firer1er
