Hires Nurse to Care for His Pets

1915

Nothing's too good for the pets of the Grant Park Zoo at Atlanta, Georgia.

That's what the zoo keeper, E. T. Boyd, believes. Seven weeks ago a baby lion was born in the zoo. This caused quite a commotion round the place and hundreds of persons became interested in the cub — none, however, as much so as Boyd.

There's a young woman in Atlanta — Miss Margaret Carlisle — who shows much interest in animals of all kinds, especially stray and homeless ones. She, too, became interested in the lion cub. So it came about that Boyd contracted with Miss Carlisle to have her act as nurse for the cub as well as for a small fox terrier, playmate of the baby lion. And now the pets get regular nourishment from their bottle and are waxing fat and healthy-looking.
