Chief Pleased With Results.
Chief Beavers is receiving calls every
day from women who declare they have
rencnmced "the old life” and desire to
start out anew and live respectable.
The chief promptly turns these women
over to the Men and Religion workers,
who give them shelter and care for
them.
Chief Beavers is greatly pleased with
the results thus far obtained in his
orusade, and says the movement al
-1 ready is assured pf success.
This not only means the saving of
many young girls and young men from
destruction tn the future, but it also
means the reformation and eajvation of
many women who already had fallen

ODD ANIMALS FROM ALL CORNERS OF
THE GLOBE NEW ARRIVALS AT ZOO
Grant park zoo is receiving today in
honor of Colonel and Mrs. Bison, the
Sika family from Japan; Major and
Mrs. Kangaroo. of Australia; Mr.
Badger, a w hole family of monkeys and
a half dozen other new arrivals. Dan
Carey, manager of parks and zoological
expert of Atlanta, is back ftotn a tour
of Eastern animal markets with an ex
press car full of new pets.
Mr. Carey spent Ji.120 of the ani
mal fund in picking up new specimens
for the zoo. and he got big bargains at
that. He struck lhe market when ani
mals were extra cheap, for some rea
son, and thinks ho was in unusual luck.
The most important purchase was a
female bison, seven years old. She will
become the mate of the bull bison al
ready in the park. They are the oniv
two in the South except for a herd in
Mississippi. The Southeast was the
original range of the bison, known-in
the old geographies as the American
buffalo, which it isn’t, and Mr. Carey
believes they should thrive well here.
Japanese Deer Interesting.
A herd of four Japanese sika deer,
one male and three of his wives, was
purchased in New York. They are lit
tle fellows, about 33 inches high, the
buck having rather ornamental horns
and all of them displaying a fctishy
white tail which spreads like a fan.
They are very like the antelope and
are said to multiply rapidly. Mr. Ca
rey expects this tendency toward sim
ple mathematics to produce quite a
herd in a year or two.
Two Bennett kangaroos are in the
new arrivals, one “old man" and his
squaw. There is a giant red kangaroo
in the park now, but these belong to
another of the 57 ♦arieties which
abound and bounce in the Australian
bush. They are gray and rather small.
A male black buck of the antelope
family arrived with the other animals
and a female is coming later. They are
from India, where English army offi
cers and native rajahs chase them like
foxes and sometimes catch them. The
buck has long horns, twisted like a
loaf of French bread. They should be
among the park favorites. Their sum
mer coats of brown are being worn
now, but soon they will don coal black
coats, with snow white shirt frontsand
trousers.
Ant Eaters Dine on Insects.
A pair of giant ant eaters are in tbe
collection also—queer, long-nosed
beasts with backs like a thatched roof.
They come from Mexico and Central
America and ants are only a part of
their diet. They will eat any old insect
and Mr. Carey expects to raise them
on a diet of stale bread and insects in
quantity not being quoted by the feed
nouses.
Two lemurs are on the list, too. The
lemur is the missing link between
monkey and fox, and are the real sports
of the zoo family. They wear whis
kers which make them look like the
Irish comedian in a 30-cent melodrama
and are both foxy and full pf monkey
shines. One of the new pair is tan col
ored with a set of white sidewhiskers,
and the other is black with a tan fringe
on his physiognomy.
Gentlemen who have Indulged in the
merry sport of badger-pulling will be

interested in learning there is a real
badger— not the kind they remember —
in the zoo. He is a splendid specimen
ami is-guaranteed to whip any bull
dog which can make ring weight. He
will not be a pleasant pet for the chil

carelessly placed within his reach.
I’wo Canadian wolves, the kind the
nature fakers write books about, are tn
the list. They are mated, both tall as a
table and unusually fine specimens. One
is tan, the other pure black, and their
Voices are in excellent condition, as
folk within a few blocks of the park
doubtless will learn.
Listen! Mr. Carey brought back a
couple of storks. He insists they are
not the kind responsible for Atlanta’s
rapid increase in population and hopes
that nobody will blame them for any
thing that happens. They are the well
known jatibou stork from South Africa,
and they have two legs each, while the
ordinary stork shown in the pictures

A Natural Pride

see by reference to the comic papers
And monkeys! Os course! An even
two dozen of them, lively little rhesus
monks from the Indian Himalayas. For
several generations they have been
considered sacred by the natives and
naturally they are accustomed to doing
as they please without fear of interfei -
erne. That makes them sassy and dev
ilish. The new arrivals make 36 ten
ants in the monkey house, which soon
must be enlarged.
Mr. Carey had $1,233 to spend for
animals on this trip. There was $1,225
in the fund, of which $255 already had
been spent, and the Georgia Railway
and Power Company added S2OO to this.
V. H. Kriegshaber raised $7 each from
nine citizens, for the purchase of mon
keys to bear tbe names of the donors.
The amount spent was $1,120.
Atlanta now has as fine a zoo as any
city in the country, excepting New
York. Washington and Cincinnati. Its
houses and grounds ate not elaborate or
extensive, but its collection of animals
is unusually good.
