Could You
Eat a
Hippo?
HOW would you like a hippo
potamus steak for dinner?
What! You would as lief
eat horse? Well, if these
high prices continue you may be
driven to horse or, even worse, to a
mule diet But, getting back to the
hippo steak, it is quite the thing in
Africa. Come to think of it, there is
nothing so awful about eating a hippo
potamus except the size of the beast,
and that would be nothing against It
to a hungry man. Your full grown
hippo weighs only about four tons.
The hippo belongs to the pig family
and is much cleaner than the pig in Its
eating. We eat bam and bacon when
we can afford to, so why not hippo?
There is a serious movement on In
Louisiana to introduce the hippopot
amus as a table delicacy; also to use
him as a river dredge and a large
mouthed consumer of the overproduc
tion of water lilies. The big brute
can be tamed easily, though hardly
suitable for a household pet. But be
Is a fine river dredge and eats water
lilies like a cyclone. Thus he is an
aid to navigation, for he cleans out
the streams, and at low water a few
hippos wallowing in a river would
bring it up bank full.
So serious are the Louisianians in
their desire to induce the hippopot
amus to settle In their midst that they
have organized the "New Food Sup
ply society." with Representative
Broussard nt its head, and have em
ployed Captain Fritz Duquesne, a
noted Boer soldier, who knows all
about hippos, to look into the matter.
After a thorough investigation of Lou
isiana conditions Captain Duquesne
reports enthusiastically In favor of the
proposition and says the plan is also
feasible for Florida and southern Cal
ifornia. After dwelling at length on
CAPTAIN FRITZ DUQUESNE AND WHAT HB

the pest the water lily has become, its
hindrance to navigation and its injury
to health he says:
"The water lily grows in Africa as
abundantly as it does here, but iu
Africa it never gets complete control
of a river, nntl* when the hippopot
amus is suffered to range unmolested
the streams are kept clear, for the
illy and, in fact, all aquatic plants are
the natural food of the hippopotamus.
Then why not put the big beast in the
rivers, whore It would act as a dredge
and remove tbe cause of all the trou
ble by devouring the worst pest with
which the state has to contend?
"The hippopotamus would find no
difficulty in living in Louisiana, for
the temperature there is exactly like
that of its habitat. The animal is ex
tremely hardy and very docile when
reared in domestication, as tests made
all over the world have proved. Mr.
Hornaday from one female iu the
Bronx zoological park reared seven
out of eight hippopotamuses born iu
eight years uudcr. to say the least of
tt. unfavorable circumstances.
"1 can see no reason why the hippo
potamus should not become a part of
the animal life of this continent to the
great advantage of the human iubab
ltants. Think of an animal that will
grow from birth to four tons in four
years! Some additions to the hippo
potamus as an inhabitant would be the
water buck, wart hog, reed buck, dik
dlk. Cape buffalo, all excellent food
animals, carrying fine leather making

animals will not live here. Well, when

THE WINTEMUTE CASE.
8oma Facta About an Affair In Which
a Countess Figuras.
"I am looking you straight in the
eye."
This was the clever way in which
one William T. Wintemute advertised
his stock in tbe Gold Run Mining and
Tunnel company of Boulder. Colo., aud
several hundred people returned his
stare, thought him a handsome,
straightforward looking chap and in
vested iu his wares. And then tbe
crash came, the postoffice inspectors
recently arresting Wintemute, who,
they allege, got $1,300,000 from value
less stock. The case is attracting
much attention, especially abroad, for
one of England's best known peer
esses, tbe Countess of Tankerville,
figures as one of the principal victims.
She was formerly Miss Lenora Van
Marter, a New York state girl, and is
one of the few American girls who
have made happy foreign marriages.

the countess of tankkbviliix.
She and Lord Tankerville have always
been In accord and are jointly inter
ested in many philanthropies.
When Mr. Wintemute gets out of
his present difficulty he should no
longer handle stocks. His field is ad
vertising. Here is oue of bis circu
lars:
"I am looking you straight in the
eye when I say to you, exchange your
worthless stock for Gold Run. Don't
cringe nor squirm nor dodge my
glance, but look at me—straight iu the
eye—and tell me why you don't ex
change your worthless stock for Gold
Run, paying 10 cents per share.
"This is a straight in the eye proposi
tion. There is nothing partaking of
the sneak or cringer about me, nor Is
there any occasion for one of you to
dodge. Let us meet tbe issue fairly
and squarely. You can be honest with
me, with yourselves and your fam
ilies and meet the issue which is be
fore us now fearlessly, like a man."

Acting Chief Executive of Oregon Only
Thirty-four.
Oregou Is peculiar in having no lieu
tenant governor, likewise iu having
no nominating conventions, at least iu
theory. Both of these uulque facts
are connected with Jay Uowerman,
acting governor of the state. Nor is
this the only distinguishing fact about
Mr. Bowerman. Another is that he is
only thirty-four years old, perhaps tbe
youngest candidate for governor in the
land. He was recently indorsed for
JAY DOU'EKUAN.
governor by the Republican state as

primaries.
Jay Bowerman arrived in Marion
county without au education or the
means to secure It. Ho engaged him
self as a farm band, bis tremendous
strength of body making him an ideal
wielder of tbe pitebfork iu harvest
time. With the earnings of that laboi
Mr. Bowerman paid for tuition at Wil
lamette university, tinally taking up
the study of law and being admitted
to tbe bar at Salem wheu he was
twenty years of age.
Mr. Bowerman recently attended the
meeting of western governors on con
lervatlon.
A SKY OPEN BEDROOM.
The Roof a Novel
and Clever Feature.
The illustration shows an open air
bedroom described by David Faircbild
in Good Housekeeping.
"It is built under some big red oaks
about ten feet back of a one story cot
tage near Washington, and It is reach
ed by a little covered passageway
from the dressing roof. There is lit
erally nothing to it but a floor and a
roof, and the roof is made of glass,
bo that lying comfortably in bed one
can look straight up into tbe trees and
through them to the stars.
In constructing our little bouse we
built first four corners of brick—ce
ment could be used—and laid floor
joists across to form what carpenters
call tbe plate. It Is not necessary to
make tbe corners more than two feet
high above the ground, for If the land
Is well drained there 1s no danger of
the bedrooms being damp.
On the joists is a floor ten feet
square, and upon this Is built tbe
rough pine frame. The upright 4 by 4
inch corner posts and 2 by 4 Inch studs
are braced at the bottom by putting in
short 2 by 4's crisscross to form a
wainscoting three feet high.
The most novel feature of this sky
open bedroom is, of course, the roof.
There is a little cap of wood extend
ing down about eighteen inches on
either side of the ridge, and the roof
itself, which is made of ordinary cheap
greenhouse sash, starts underneath
this and slides up and down on tbe
INTERIOR OF THE APARTMENT.
rafters. In fair weather the roof can be
opened, and when it rains one can lie
and look up at the raindrops as they
strike upon the glass panes, and any
thing more magnificent than a thun
derstorm at night I cannot Imagine,
with tbe great oak branches bending
and tossing above one's head. Sash
cords and simple, inexpensive pulleys
are all that are necessary to raise and
lower these greenhouse sash, provided
the rafters on which they ruu are weil
soaped and plenty of play Is left be
tween the sash frames and the strips
of board which hold them in place.
The wainscoting is covered with un
bleached cotton sheeting tacked on in
side to a height of three feet from tbe
floor, and this allows free circulation
of air, but affords the semi-privacy re
quired aud will last for three or four
years. The height of this walnscotlug
Is a matter of choice, and If more pri
vacy Is desired it could be made
higher.

The Making of Bead Chains.
All the designs for bead cbaius seen
in the cut are easily made if the fol
lowing directions are carried out: The
first design is a simple chain, and this
should be practiced before attempting
floral devices. First string four blue
beads; tie the
end of tbe silk
through tbe first
bead to prevent
them slipping off.
Hold the work
between the fin
ger and thumb on
tbe left baud, then
string a blue bead
and pass tbe nee
dle through the 8IMPLE AND EFFEC "
third bead from TIVE DESIG - NS -
right to left. Take up another bead and
pass the needle through the first bead
through which tbe silk is tied. It will
be noticed that the beads do not follow
in straight lines across, but one up
and one down, so that each bead fits
into a little gap in the previous row.
The work should now be turned
over. String one white bead and pass
the needle through the second bead
from the edge. String a blue bead and
pass the needle through the last bead
at the left edge. The work must be
turned at the end of each row so that
the needle always passes from right to
left. Now, for the fourth row string
a blue bead and pass the needle
through tbe second bead of the row,
which is a blue, then string a white
oue and pass through the white in
the previous row. For the liftb row
string a white and pass needle through
the white in the fourth row, then a
blue and pass through the blue bead
on the left edge, when It will be seen
that four rows of blue beads are work
ed and the pattern begun again on the
opposite side. Having mastered this
design, tbe other patterns will be quite
easy.

HUMOR OF THE DAY
All About Toads.
"Toads"— began the man who is al
ways looking up queer statistics.
"Blast the toads!" snapped tbe sub
urbanite with tbe bam, the bag of
flour an^ the lawn mower. "I am not
interested in toads."
"But you should be, sir. The toad
lays 81.000 eggs annually."
"Very extraordinary, but"—
"The female toad also lives to be a
thousand years old. Now, If a hen
could live to be a thousand years old
and lay 81.000 eggs annually it would
take a cold storage warehouse as big
as Maine, California and Texas to hold
them."
"Wonderful, but my train"—
"Stood on end the eggs would reach
from here to the moon and back and
leave enough to fill the Pacific ocean."
"Let go o£ my buttonhole, sir. 1
want to make that train"—
"Useless job. The train Is already
made. Listen to sense. After those
eggs filled the Pacific ocean it would
cause a tidal wave that would
sweep"—
But Just then the exasperated subur
banite brought his bag of flour down
on the garrulous stranger. Then he
escaped to his train.—Chicago News.
Complacent.
Crash! Down the kitchen stairs fell
the entire trayful of crockery from
the dining room. Not even the salt
cellar remained unbroken. Within the
dining room sat busband and wife,
staring blankly at each other. What

"Jane. Jane! Whatever have you
done?"
"Ob. mum," she replied, "it's only
the dinner things, mum. What a good
thing I hadn't washed 'em up!"—Sun

In a Quandary.
"I don't know whether to accept this

A Disinterested Suggestion.
"What did you say to the policeman
who arrested you for speeding?" In
quired the friend.
"1 told him 1 was going after a
doctor," replied Mr. Chuggins.
"Did he believe you?"
"1 don't think so. He said that if I
didn't want to pay a fine I'd better
change my mind and go after a
lawyer."—Wasbiugton Star.
To Their Faces.
Little Terry, looking out of the street
car window, was displaying his knowl
edge by announcing the street signs
that he could read.
"There's a funny one, pop," he cried.
"It says 'Beer Garden.' Do they raise
beer in that garden?"
"They do that," said Mr. Hogan dry
ly, "iv they got th' price!"—Illustrated
Sunday Magazine.
Perhaps.
"If I was in tbe milk business," said
Uncle Jerry Peebles, "I'd deal in

"Pets cost a deai to feed, don't they ?
I have an Angora that drinks a pint

"1 have a pet that takes several
pecks of food at one meal."
"Gracious! Is It an elephant?"
"No; a cannry."—Baltimore Amer
