'WICHITA," BIG

COYOTE AT GLEN, HAS GROUCH ON

His Neighbors Chewed His Tail Off Other Hot Weather News From Zoo.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Telephone compares showed a profit of nearly a dollar a telephone during March, according: to compilation made public today by the Interstate commerce commission. There were in service 7,495,470 telephones in March, an increase of approximately 12 per cent, over March, 1916.

By ROSCOE FLEMING "Wichita,- the big coyote out at Glen Miller park, is nourishing a irouch. "Wichita," it appears, went to sleep some time ago with his toil carelessly stretched under the partition between liis cage and that of the coyotes next (ioor. They chewed it off while he slept, When "Wichita" awoke, he got the notion that the man that feeds him had done the low-down trick, and now that man can t go near "Wichita." Other people can, but his keeper is tabooed. Coyotes Are Lovely. Coyotes are lovely people anyway, says Charlie Ford, who runs the park. Jn one of the three cages of them at the Glen, live two young ones who were separated from their parents early and raised by a dog foster-mother. They are grown now, but on account of strained family relations, can't be put in with their parents. The parents would kill 'em, says Ford. The three bears, "Rex." "Rexall" and "Nellie," are more sociable people. They have a great time splashing In the pool these hot days, and batting each other good-naturedly around like big kids. They've never been known to quarrel, says Ford, even when one was handled a little severely. These Don't Hibernate. Contrary to the popular notion, or contrary to the usual run of bears, these don't hibernate In the winter. They're Just as lively in December as in July, and they don't live by sucking their paws, either, meat being as welcome then as any other time. The two alligators are different

They stay awake, too, In the winter

but never touch food while they're in

t. inter quarters, from September to

May.

Watching the alligators as they He stretched out on the grass, one can understand how they are taken for logs. They look helpless, limp and dead, with just the slightest glint of life In their eyes, and a sweet grin on their faces. The sweetness of their expressions Isn't reflected in their bouIs, however. They have to be separated like the coyotes, or one of them Would die suddenly. Elk Are Dangerous Too. The elks are another dangerous family. The danger sign on their fence is more than a joke. There are a young and an old buck in the elk pasture, and before the old one gets the velvet off his horns, which will be pretty soon now, the young one will 1'ave to be moved out, or he too will cie violently. Ford has been trying to sell the young one for some time, but summer is a dull time in the elk market, and no offers have been made. The present herd of six, two calves were born this spring, is to be reduced to two, by order of the park board. The monkeys are the most blase of all the park's folk, at least they act that way. One disgusted glance is all that an onlooker can get from them, unless the onlooker has with him

FOUR STEAMERS BOUGHT

LIVERPOOL Aug. 1. According to the "Journal of Commerce," The

Holt Line, Ltd., has bought the four

steamers, Knight Companion, Knight Templar, Knight of the Garter and Knight of the Thlsle, for about 53,500,000.

WOMAN CAN EAT ANYTHING NOW; GAINS WEIGHT Says Food Didn't Agree with Her Before Tanlac Fixed Up Stomach. Miss Minnie Stiver, of Fortville, Ind.. said that her stomach was so out of order until recently that she had almost no appetite at all and ate very little. She lost weight rapidly. Then she took Tanlac. She's able to eat about anything she wants now and weighs more than for a long time. "It got so f nally that I never felt hungry," Miss Stiver said. "The food I did eat didn't agree with me and didn't seem to do me any good at all. Gas formed on my stomach after meals and made me feel bloated and stuffed up. 'I was nervous, too, and couldn't sleep well nights. I was all tired out In mornings and never felt like going to work. Then during the day I often had dull headaches and sometimes I got dizzy when I would stoop over and raise up again. "Father was taking Tanlac about that time and it was helping him so much that I tried it. It has done me as mucb good as it did father. "Yes, sir, I eat about anything I want now and I weigh more than I have for a long time. Tanlac surely is a good tonic and I recommend it" Tanlac has built up thousands of rundown men and women and it will build up your system and make you feel good again Just like it has the others. If you are not feeling right get Tanlac today at any of Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores. Adv.

something to eat They are also the

most restless of the animals and the most popular. They're always doing

something entertaining.

The three eagles, two bald eagles, and a big gray one caught just east of the park two years ago, seem the

least reconciled to confinement Looks Like a Hen.

The gray eagle, hunched up on his perch with his eyes closed, looks much

like a big hen, until the observor

makes a motion. No hen about him

then! A six-inch expanse of red mouth cpens, and he utters savage threats. The young coyotes are not reconciled to confinement either. There are deep scratches either end of their cage where they have run. restlssly up and down, and jumped at the wood. The older ones are more used to it But on moonlit nights, when a deeptoned freight engine whistles over in the Pennsylvania yards, it fairly sets the coyotes crazy, and they howl all night There are lots of other interesting people out at the Glen. There's the ocelot, or leopard-cat, which looks like a fat tabby-cat magnified about four times. With his brilliant coat of black and white, the ocelot is a handsome creature. He's not like a tabby In disposition, however. He's quicker than any cat when he wants to be, and not very sociable. Then there is the peacock, who will stand for hours and spread his tall to hear the crowds gasp and call him beautiful, and there are the four deer

and the muscbvy ducks, and the pigeons, and the pole-cat. The pole-cat has had his scent-bag removed, but many people, especially girls, stil! hold their noses when they pass. There are two coons that spend most of their time sleeping, and the red fox. Many people who come out to the park have never seen a fox until they see this one, says Ford, common r.e foxes are in Indiana and Ohio.

QUOTA IS RAISED NEW YORK, Aug. 1. Announce

ment was made today that the quota of the men to be drawn from New York city for the new army, would be slightly raised, while upstate, the percentage of Increase to each divisiou

will be even greater. Roscoe S. rankling, deputy attorney general repre-

Bfntlnr th ai In tan t. reneral at Al

bany, said that the new order will

mean no delay In the working of the various boards. ' He explained that the calling for additional men had been necessary to supply the New York quota because the officers of the national guard and those in charge of the regular recruiting stations had been too careful "in reporting the number of recruits of each district." Mr. Conkllng said he supposed this condition had been brought about because some one "boosted" the recruiting figures, adding that the added quota for New York city would probably be not over two to a district although he understood this number would be slightly larger up state.

On The Boards

Geo. M. Cohan's latest play, "Seven Keys to Baldpate," which is to be presented here at Murray all week is

melodrama Intentionally gone mad to the point of side-splitting burlesque under the gravest of masks that remain unllfted until just before the last curtain falls. George M. Cohan, that astonishingly versatile and alwsy supremely self-confident Incarnation of Broadway in Its most swaggering mood, made this play from the Earl Derr Bigger's novel of the same name.

TO PROBE CLAIMS

MBICO CITY, Aug. 1. The Department of War has determined to appoint a Commission to investigate all claims for pensions due to soldiers or soldiers' families since 1910. Part of the duties of the commission will be to make a census of the men Invalided from the army since the first Madero revolt.
