“Thim poor la-ads in Port Arthur
must be havin' a tur-rble time,” said
Mr. Hennessy.
‘‘Ye niver can tell,” said Mr. Doo
ley. “Iv coorse It looks as though they
were. Ivry day or two whin Port Ar
thur hasn’t fallen no more or Is laid
up fr'm th’ last fall, I read In th’
pa-apers th'at th’ corryspondint Iv th’
London Fudge, a highly onprejudieed
obsarver or liar stationed at Chefoo
has larned fr’m a Chlnyman, who has
jus’ arrived fr’m Pekin on a junk that
th' conditions is something that wur
ruds rtmnot describe. Says he: ‘Th’
conditions at Port Arthur bailie de
scription an’ stagger th’ imagination.
On'y fourteen iv th’ original definders
survive an’ they ar-re rayjooced to
skeletons. They live in underground
caves an’ cook their boots on explodin’
bombs dhropped in be th’ Japanese.
Las' week Gin’ral Blinkovitch shot an’
kilt Gin’ral Bejeeski in a quarrel over
a bar iv soap which th’ former was
atin' f'r lunch. Gin’ral Stoessel has
lost both arms, a leg an’ th’ right ear,
but he is still cheerful ‘an’ las' night
had his fur overcoat cooked an’ sarved
at a dinner to th' officers iv th’ Pro
btjienky reg’miiift. He proposed a
toast to th’ imp’ror in kerosene. Th’
toast was subsiquintly devoured be th’
famished garrison. None iv th’ gar
rison sleep at night much on account
iv th’ heejous roar iv th’ J’ap’nese
shells which are dhropped into th’
town at th’ rate iv wan millyon a
day. Me informant tells me, an’ he's
a man whose wurrud I wud accipt as
soon as me own, that th’ ships in th'
harbor Wave been convarted into junk,
which must not be confused with th’
Chinese boats iv th’ same name. As
fast as they ar-re destroyed, they ar-re
eaten be th’ crew. It is no uncommon
sight to see a starvin’ Russian sailor
divin’ in th’ harbor f’r a cast-iron bolt
or some such toothsome morsel. Th’
intilligent Chinym’an who brought me
th’ news escaped just as th’ cook f’r
Gin'ral Stoessel was about to put him
in th’ oven. Th’ Chinese are great
sticklers f’r presarvin’ their Identity
afther death an’ this man nachrally
didn’t like to jine his ancesthors in
th' shape iv Chop-sooey. Altogether
th' condition iv Port Arthur is worse
thin ye’er re’aders cud imagine an’ al
most as had as they cud hope. Th’
Port Arthur Daily Melojeen, th’ on’y
paper now published there, has a long
kick in th’ last issue about delinquent
subscribers. It is headed "Meanin’
You" an’ goes on to say that th’ iditor
an' his wife mus’ live, that they Wave'
jus' moved into anew dug-out an’ that
If th' cash is not forthcomin’, he will
be obliged to mintion names.”
"An’ hat’s what I can’t understand,
Hinnissy. How is it, d’ye suppose, that
if Port Arthur is so bad o(T, they can
have a daily paper? Th’ man that
runs it must be a gr-reat journalist. I
wudden’t like to give up me paper.
It’s all I have in life? But if I
was as thin as an empty hen coop an’
had just devoured me las’ collar an’ if
I knew that I wudden’t make aven
a dacint muss if a Jap’nese shell hit
me but wud look like a pile iv loose
lathes an’ shavin’s sthruck be a cy
clone, d’ye suppose in thim circum
stances I wud be polite to a man who
come ar-round an' offered me an onyx
clock an’ a hatful iv thradin’ stamps
to subscribe to his pa-aper? An’ think
lv th’ iditor. What a job! He has
aten a pair iv rubber boots an’ washed
is down with a pint iv ink an' he
has to go out an’ colllct th’ news on
his hands an’ knees. Thin he has to
write it up. ‘Society jottings: Our
silves an’ wife attinded a mos' jovyal
gathering at Gin'ral Punspinkki's pa
latchal quarthers in Boom proof A las’
night. Th’ jaynial gin’ral had provid
ed a bountiful repast—a beautifully
cooked war map which he had pro
cured at great expinse. Th’ Jap'nese
advanced positions fell in our lot an’
we put it away with gr-reat gusto, al
though if annything there was too
much red ink on it. Our host was at
his best an’ th' mornin’ was far ad
vanced befure we reeled home. Ivry
body agrees an injyable time was had.
There is no war news, as th’ London
papers ar-re onavoidably late an’ our
corryspondint is at th’ front. Th’ nex’
time we sind a corryspondint out with
n itooshan army, we’ll sind him to th’
rear, where he can get some news.’
An’ while he’s gittln’ th’ pa-aper
ready a Jap shell is Hble to come
through th’ roof iv his office on’ pi
both him an’ th’ form so bad that
riayther wan iv thim can be set up
again.
No, sir, if I ain’t far out iv th’ way,
tort Arthur ain't sufferin’ nearly as
Pf' 1 1 am about it. It wud prob’-
aiy be th’ place to spind th’ wlnther
the national zoo park
* V,U Kln Menellk’a Gift to the
I'renldcnt.
Washington. Nov. 26.—A1l the rare
animals presented by King Menelik,
Dt Abyslnnla, to President Roosevelt
wlll within a few days be shipped to
the National Zoological Park, in this
tiiy, from their present temporary
Buarters in the Bronx Zoological Park.
As the an'mals were not removed
from the pier when they arrived at
New York several weeks ago, they
cume in the custody of the Custom
House, whose embarrassment was re
lieved by the offer of W. T. Horna
oay. director of the Bronx Zoological
f ark, to house them in that park until
Jinal disposition could be made of
them.
H. Ellis, special envoy to King
Menelik, assumed those functions
when E. Kent Loomis, the envoy, his
companion, was lost overboard from
a tiansatlantlc liner, gave permission
•or removal to the National Zoological
Park.
This la a disappointment to the
Btonx Park managers, as It was hoped
‘hat at leaat some of ths animals
'Y<ti!i| tie tie mill ted to remain there.
Mr. llornaday wrote to Mr. Ellis a
r, ’w days ago asking that the park be
permitted to keep some of the ani
mals.
Mi*. Kills said to your corroopond-
Wll [
"As the President under the law
if ye didn't mind livin’ in a fallen
city,—a quiet life, conjaynial people,
comfortable an’ safe homes, little wur
ruk an’ some fightin’. It’s always th’
same w*ay. I’ve wept me last weep
over th’ sufferin’ iv th’ besieged. I
shed manny tears on account iv th’
poor Spanyards in Sandago, but whin
th’ American sojers got into th’ town
they were almost suffycated be th’
smell iv garlic cookin’ with omelattes.
I raymimber how jtained I was over
th’ disperate plight iv th' sojers an’
diplomats at Peking. I rushed an army
over there. They kilt Chinymen be th’
thousands an’ in th’ face iv incredible
misstatements fought their way to th’
dures iv th' palace where their star
vin' brothers were imprisoned. What
did they find? They found-th’ diplo
mats in their skirt sleeves fillin’ pack
in’ cases with th - undherwear iv th'
Chinese impror an’ th’ spoons iv th’
Chinese impress. Th’ air was filled
with cries iv ‘Hinnery, won’t ye set
on this bhrunk? I can’t get th’ lid
down since ye put in that hateful idol.'
Th’ English ambassadure was thryin’
on a goold brocaded vest four thou
sand years old. Th' Frinch ambas
sadure was cratin’ up th’ impror’s libry
an’ th’ German embassy an’ gallant
officers iv th’ Kaiser were in th’ ob
sarvatory pryin’ off th’ brass fittings iv
th’ tillyscopes.
“So I’ll save me tears about Port
Arthur till all th’ rayturns ’are in. I’d
like to get hold iv a copy iv th’ Port
Arthur Melojeen. I wondher where I
cud subscribe to it. I’d bet ye’d find
it cheerful. ’Yisterdah was univintful.
Th’ Japs threw a few shells befure
breakfast an’ thin retired. This thing
h‘as got to stop. Fridah we had a
dog lamed an’ if this occurs again we
will appeal to th’ authorities. Th’
Kschemojensky band give’a concert on
th’ public square an’ manny iv th’
■townspeople turned out to hear it.
John Smithinski was up befure Judge
Hoganenski on th’ family*ar charge.
He was sentenced to twinty knouts or
fifty days. Main sthreet is torn' up
again. How long will this condtion
last befure th’ people iv our fair 'city
rise in their might against th’ corrup
tionists at th’ City Hall? Closin’ quota
tions on th’ Port Arthur board iv
thrade: Cavfar sixteen asked, fourteen
bid; candles quiet an' unchanged, with
a fair demand f’r light upland tallow.
“ ‘Answers to correspondints: May
ski: take half a pound iv tar, a qifart
iv cookin’ sherry, two pints iv vinegar
an’ a pound iv potash an’ apply to
th’ face with a paint brush befure re
tirln.’
“ ‘Arthurski Lumleyvttch: No. Ar
thur, It is not considered in good form
Whin walkin’ with a lady to run whin
a bomb dhrops in ye’er neighborhood.
Seize ye’er fair companyon be th’ el
bows an’ place her in front iv ye. Th’
rule Iv all p’lite circles Is: ’‘Ladles
first.”
“ Timothyvitoh K.: Jeffreys in th’
sioond round.’
“ ‘Anxious: We don’t know.’
‘‘Sure, Hinnissy, it’s always th’ same
way. Wan iv th’ sthrangest things
about life Is that it will go on in on
fav’rable circumstances an’ go out whin
ivrything is aisy. A man can live an’
have a good time no matther what
happens to him that don’t kill him.
I lived here durin’ th’ cholery. I didn’t
like it, but they was on’y wan other
thing to do an’ I didn’t care f’r that.
If ye’re livin’ in a town that’s bein’
bombarded, ye don’t like it at first,
but afther awhile ye begin to accomy
date’ ye’ersilf to it an’ by an’ by whin
a shell dhrops near ye while ye’re ar
gyin’ about th’ tariff, ye step aside
an’ if ye’re still there afther th’ smoke
is cleared away, ye raysume th’ argy
mint. Ye have to make new friends,
hut so ye do in Chicago. A man iv
me age loses more frinds in a year
an’ is in more danger thin a definder
iv Port Arthur at twinty-wan. Bustin’
shells is on’y wan iv th’ chances iv
life like pnoomony an’ argyin’ with a
policeman.
"Besides, I bet ye no garrison iver
rayfused tov surrender whin it was
starvin’, onless It was afraid th’ inimy
wud shoot th’ man with th’ white
flag. A garrison begins to think lv
surrindherin’ whin it .can’t get pie at
ivry meal. Cut out wan lv its meals
an’ it begins to wondher what’s th’
use iv fightin’ a lot iv nice fellows.
Rayjooce it more an’ some lv th’ sojers
will say to th’ gin’ral: ’lf ye haven’t
got a sheet of a pilfow-slip handy f’r
a flag, ye can use our shirts.’ Ye may
change th’ dite to horse meat, but
horse meat rayminds a Europeen so
jer iv what his mother used to call
beef. But he's got to have enough.
A hungry man won’t fight exclpt f’r
food an’ he’d follow a beefsteak twice
as far as he wud th’ flag iv anny im
pror or czar.”
“Why don’t that Gin’ral Stoessel sur
rindher annyhow?” asked Mr. Hen
nessy.
"No wan has told him to. He’s a
German,” said Mr. Dooley.
cannot receive a gift from a foreign
monarch, it was left to Mr. Roosevelt
to decide what disposition should be
made of the animals, which arrange
ment, of course, had the full consent
of King Menelik. Mr. Roosevelt de
cided they should be given to the
Washington Zoological Park.”
Two ostriches, the surviving lioness
of the pair sent, one of which died at
the Bronx menagerie, two baboons of
a species said never to have been
seen in America, and of a most start
ling likeness in bodily outline to the
human shape, and a zebra, said to be
the largest ever brought to America,
constitute the gift of King Menelik.
"The zebra,” said Mr. Ellis, “Is the
largest ever captured, and I am told
that It Is proposed to use the animal
as the head of a government stock
farm at Washington. Crossing zebra
with mares has produced a sturdy
animal especially fitted for use In the
tropics, and I am Informed that the
army Is considering the use of this
zebra for experiments In that direc
tion.”
