These groups have been named with a great deal of care, so that those specially fitted for work in carrying out certain de tails will be on the job.

Breeders' Picnic Success.- CENTRALIA, "Wash., July 27. (Special.) A big crowd today, at tended the annual picnic of the Lewis County Pure Breeders' association, held at the Southwest Washington fair grounds. Ideal weather condi tions prevailed. The event marked the dedication of new stock barns recently completed at the fair grounds. The principal speaker was William Bishop of Chimacum, a prominent Holsteln breeder. NEW YORK, July 19. (Special.) Three months ago Maud, a 70-pound orang-outang, was swinging from the trees in her native Borneo. She ar rived at the Bronx zoo, the liveliest animal that ever took up residence in the house of primates. After a trip across the continent under the care of Raymound Lu Ditmars, assist ant director and curator of reptiles, during which she caused more trouble and raised more difficulties than a carload of wildcats, she crawled back into her new cage the first night, at the zoo, pulled a big brown army blanket over her head and went to sleep. With her came a baby orang. which would have died in San Francisco of pneumonia had it not been for the care and nursing it received at the hands of Mrs. Ditmars, who sat up in the Hotel St. Francis night after night in an effort to keep the animal alive. Conductor Knocked Sprawling?. j Maud began to cut up just as soon as she came in to San Francisco on the 8kipx Singapore. She was caged in a specially constructed teak wood box, the bars of which were set rather wide apart. Her first exploit, after boarding the Overland Limited at San Francisco, was to reach out a long hairy arm from her place in the baggage car and send the con ductor sprawling on his face. At Ogden, Utah, a newsboy with a bundle of papers came aboard the train. He passed Maud in the bag gage car, and the long arm shot out like Carpentier's right and scattered the news of the day the length of the car. She bad not been placed long in the baggage car before she discovered that by grasping the bars with her hands and feet and shaking herself vigorously she was able to move the cage about the car. To one or two of the baggagemen she took a vio lent dislike, and whenever they en tered to attempt any work, Maud shook in her cage until she came within range, and then made swift passes with her right and left. More than once she floored the baggage men, and any one else who came within range of her long arms. Door Torn Front Cage. At Chicago the animals were shipped aboard the Lake Shore limited Mr. Ditmars was permitted to bring them east on the fastest passenger trains by special permission of the passenger agents, in order that they might suffer the least- possible bad effects of their journey and the train was hardly on its way to New York before Maud had another burst of activity. In a fit of fury she tore the teakwpod door from her cage and flung It at one of the baggagemen on the limited. It was only by the very quickest work on the part of Mr. Ditmars, who happened to be in the car with the animal at the time, that the door was replaced in time to prevent Maud from making her escape. The baby orang-outang was quickly affected by the low temperature in San Francisco and caught cold the day after it was unloaded from the steamer. It was plain to Mr. Dit mars that if he were to have any chance of bringing it to New York he would have to keep the animal di rectly under his eye. After a great deal of difficulty he succeeded in persuading the manager of the Hotel St. Francis to permit him to keep the baby orang in his room. Baby Smuggled Into Room. At first the manager was obdurate. "It's impossible, Mr. Ditmars," he said. "According to our rule no ani mal can be kept in the rooms." For an hour Mr. Ditmars talked, to no use. The baby orang was then smug gled up to his room in a brown paper package and kept there for four days, when the management became aware of it. Came another argument, which Mr. Ditmars succeeded in clinching by asserting his orang was not an animal, but half human, according to the Darwinian theory. The baby orang stayed on. "It had to be cared for just as tenderly as a baby," said Mr. Ditmars. "My wife held it in her arms and fed it milk and rice and gave It medicine. She sat up night after night until it was able to hold its head up again." Along with the two orangs Mr. Dit mars brought two of the largest p j ! MASON, EHRM AN & GO.
