on the Elevator.
"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.”

THE HIPPOPOTAMUS.
Ho* the Animal Is Captursd Alivs In
ths Sudan.
There Is a vast difference between
the hunter who kills for pleasure and
the hunter whose business It Is to cap­
ture bls quarry alive. How live hip­
popotamuses are secured is particularly
Interesting. Two methods are resort­
ed to.

Manufacturers of

their victims at the noon hour, when
they are sunk In deep slumber. Then
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
