Two lions almost broke into the

to the worriment of the former master
of the hounds. Wilson Jackson. All
arrangements had been made to keep
the cubs In the kennels, but when
they arrived from abroad President
Coolidge was startled to find that they
were much larger than he had an
ticipated. He sent them out to the
zoo for safekeeping
Before the arrival of the animals
President Coolidge notified the colored
man. Jackson to prepare for their re-
ception.
Know anything about keeping
lions?" Mr. Coolidge naively inquired
of the master of the hounds.

tame and Mrs. Coolidge often led her

Sometimes Rebecca took notion to

ORIGIN OF REED ORGAN.

Kratzenstein invented this forerunner
of the present huge organs, after exam
ming a Sheng which mad been brought
from China.
Playing the sheng, delightful as it
might be ana AS entertaining as it
might prove, has its drawbacks. In
fact it has reached that point in the
estimation of the Chinese that it is not
popular at all For one thing, the
player must draw his breath in as well
as blow 1t out 10 keep the sheng going.
This results sooner or later in infiam-
matory diseases OF the bronchial tubes
and Is not conducive to that longevity
in which the Chinese find satisfaction.
Then, too, the sheng is said to be
so enchanting that the player forgets
all else but his playing and will do
nothing but play his sheng from morn
ing till night. Economically, this is an
unsound practice. and the shens player
also finds that 1t is not thoughtful of
his neighbor TO play so much. This
perhaps is the greatest point of con-
trast with the Saxophnne.

as Pat. is an Irish wolf hound. He is
said to be the first OF his breed to
invade the White House grounds, al
though his family is one Of the Oldest

had their praises sung in prose and
poetry, for they we're famed for their
devotion and bravery.

each other because Of jealousy over the
possession Of them, according TO ira
dition.
Many stories are told OF how irish
wolf hounds have given their lives In
order that children of their masters
might not suffer harm. A noted in
stance is that of Gelert, hound owned
by Llewellyn, Prince Of Wales, in 1910.
Gelert's fame has been precered IN
poetry. The faithful hound died by
his masters hand under tragic circum-
stances One day when leaving for the
chase, Llewellyn left his infant son in
the charge of the dog. On returning
he found the childs room in disorder.

~ ISCONTENT is rampant in the

A social precedence" con-
~ troversy appears to have arisen
over the fact that a cat with
no better name than Kitty has purred
his way into favor at the Executive
Mansion.
While the new White House cat has
most commonplace name. even his
canine enemies admit ne comes of a
rather nice family-with Persian pedi-
gree, and so on.
The main cause for irritation seems
to be that Kitty rates the freedom Of
the White House corridors to an extent
