CHEWING TOBACCO USED
TO QUIET WILD BABOON
When Sugar and Peanuts Failed,
the Weed Conquered “Hand
some Harry.”
New York, April 3.—A liberal
allowance of chewing tobacco is
likely to be included in the daily
rations of anew baboon freshly
arrived at the Bronx menagerie
from South Africa, and im
mediately christened by the keep
ers “Handsome Harry.”
When Harry, who is a rare
hamadrias baboon, reached the
zoo Dr. Reed-Blair. veterinary
physician there, consigned him to
a large cage on the monkey
house.
The baboon immediately began
to make trouble. He dashed
himself against the bars, and the
best efforts of the keeper could
not make him subside. He dis
dained offerings of sugar, pea
nuts and other dainties, and was
growing more and mord violent
when he suddenly paused, threw
a huge paw around Frand Eber
hardt, one of the keepers, who
was trying to soothe him, and
fishing from the keeper’s coat
pocket a bag of chewing tobacco,
thrust it into his mouth and re
tired into a corner of the cage,
apparently in supreme content.
There was no more trouble
with him after that.
