SNYDER BELIEVING A HIPPOPOTA MDS
TOOTHACHE
slivers out of elephants foot oiling
their leathery sides and looking for
trouble in the cavernous mouths of hip
popotamuses are just what he likes to
do A hippopotamus with a toothache
is not the most amiable thing in the
world but soothed by Snyders sym
pathetic touch Mr Hippo will open
wide his ponderous jaws and stand like
patience on a monument while the vet
eran keeper locates the offending mo
lar and plugs it with -a wad of cotton
soaked in oil of cloves If animals
could draw up resolutions Billy would
be able to paper his rooms with them
Snyder and his predecessors in the
New York zoo have been remarkably
successful in raising hippopotamuses
Seven baby hippos have been born
there five living to maturity Caliph
father of the herd is the biggest hip
popotamus in captivity He weighs
four tons and eats a ton of hay for
breakfast His wife who was Miss
Murphy weighs three tons Their first
child died in infancy A year later

world with a circus Their next baby

laneous lot of rare animals to boot

EBEN M BYERS
New Golf Champion of America and
His Winning of the Title
Youth will be served once said a
famous old pugilist Bben M Byers
the new amateur golf champion of
America proved the truth of the re
mark in the recent contest in which
he won the title Byers while not a
youngster by any means is many
years younger than the two veterans
Walter J Travis and George S Lyon
the Canadian who were his closest
rivals for the championship Any one
of the trio had a chance to win the
victory and fortune smiled sweetly on
youth
Byers who hails from Pittsburg
once had a humorous experience in
Chicago at a championship tourney
An attendant at the clubhouse had a

stock of fleldglasses which he rented
to spectators who wanted to watch the
players without leaving the clubhouse
veranda or balcony
How much do you charge for those
glasses asked Byers one unpleasant
afternoon
Twenty five cents replied the at
tendant
Why on a foggy day like this a per
son could not see anything with the
glasses answered Byers and you
ought not to be allowed to do business
today
Oh thats all right said the young
financier behind the counter If you
could see anything with them Id
charge you 50 cents

Russias first parliament the douma
was dissolved b3r Emperor Nicholas
before it was hardly more than two
months old It was on May 10 that
the emperor with a pomp and splendor
like that of the orient of the middle
ages opened the first national popular
ajspmbly of his realm Disembarking
from his yacht at the steps of the
Winter palace In St Petersburg the suc
cessor of Ivan the Terrible paraded
with a brilliant suite to the hall where
the deputies were assembled and ad
dressed I hem in a speech whose phrases
had been carefully studied and which
promised much but only in general
terms and studiously refrained from
acknowledging real powers in the elect

PRESIDENT MOUOiIT3EFF
against the will of the sovereign The
first clash between douma and em
peror came over the question of how
the czar should receive the delegation
firoin it chosen to confer with and
the method determined upon by the
emperor under the influence of the bu
reaucrats who surround him was con
strued as inflicting a slight upon tho
parliament in the very first hours of its
career The douma organized by elect
ing as Its president the candidate of tho
Constitutional Democrats Sergius An
drejevich Mouromtseff a Russian of
noble family born in 1830 who had
served as professor In the University
of Moscow and as the editor of a paper
of liberal views which was suppressed
on account of its freedom of expression
He married a well known Russian op
era singer
The reply to the speech from the
throne was the cause of much debate
in the douma and as finally adopted
It demanded reforms which as was
soon seen the government was not
prepared to grant One of these was
a parliamentary ministry The douma
was composed of many different
classes Including nobles professional
men elergy professors merchants
workmen and peasants It was far
from a homogeneous or harmonious
body and unity of action along lines
which meant co operation with the
government proved unattainable
The radical leader Aladin proved
a firebrand in the assembly Among
PBINCE DOLGOROUKOFF
his radical associates were Anikin a
village schoolmaster and Filkin who
though possessed of little learning had
committed to memory the arguments
of Socialist handbooks One of the
leaders of the Constitutional Demo
crats was Prince Fierre Dolgoroukoff
who at the session at Viborg which was
broken up by soldiers was chosen
president of the permanent executive
committee Another was Ivan Petrun
kevich a veteran fighter for liberal
principles
The assembly was composed of fifty
six peasant farmers forty six boyars
or large landowners thirty nine law
yers twenty seven clergymen twenty
one village officials nineteen college
professors seventeen factory work
men sixteen physicians twenty four
government officials fourteen school
teachers thirteen army officers elev
en editors twenty four merchants
three scientists seven bankers eleven
engineers twenty two capitalists and
a few others divided among various
occupations As to religion there were
among the deputies priests of the Or
thodox Greek church a Roman Cath
olic archbishop several Jewish rab
bis seven Mohammedan mollahs or
priests and a number of deputies be
longing to the Armenian church
