"Little boy.” exclaimed the portly
tody, “you ought to be at school in-
itead of trying to work a lift.”
"I’m not trying to work It." was the
answer. “I am working It. and if you
wish to ride 1 shall be happy to ac
commodate you. So far as au.v obliga
tion to be at school Is concerned, allow
me to remind you that this is a legal
holiday, and I am exempt from at

“For what reason?"
“Because you are too young to know
anything about it.”

they pull them to the bank by means
of a cord attached to the harpoon and
there make them fast. The hunters
use for this a special kind of harpoon,
made In such a way that it does not
make a deep wound. Fully three-
quarters of the hippopotamuses ex
hibited in Europe have been captured
In this way.
Hippopotamus hunts are also con
ducted on land. There advantage Is
taken of the fact that the female hip
popotamus makes her youug walk In
front of her. The reason for this Is
that the beast, being well protected in
the rear by its abnormally thick skin,
prefers to have Its offspring In front,
where it can guard them better against
danger. But in spite of its affection
for its children the mother hippo has
