What She Had Lost.

Some funny incidents occur on the night cars
on the Bellefonta1ne railway, says the st. Louis
Republican, and not the least droll among
these, recently, was what followed the advent,
on the l.5O car of a vigorous lady, who, with
her husband had evidently been making late
visit at the house OF friend. She was a stall
wart. aggressive female, in rather striking per-
sonal contrast to her milk and watery- looking
husband, and, as soon as she had taken her
seat, she thrust her head forward and began
careful scrutiny of the face of lady on the OPP
posite OF the car. She evidently knew, or
thought she knew, the name Of the person she
was staring at Finally, unable to restrain her
self any longer, she asked:
Amt you Mary Slawson, that was?"
The lady addressed replied that she had for
merly borne the name given, though she had

That's because I've got new ones; but I've
lost 'em Just the same; and my husband. he's
lost most of his hair.
The lady on the other side of the car had ex-
bauSted her stock Of sympathetic expressions,
and said nothing. The lady who had lost so
much In one way or another leaned back in her
place, beaming with satisfaction and Self-Suffi-

The once most beautiful woman of Arkansas

woman, has wooden leg. She is the daughter
OF Sandy Faulkner, the original Arkansas
Traveller" She has been married several times
and is now known as Mrs. TrapneI. In the old
days OF Arkansas aristocracy, when the rich
planters and men OF note gathered at the Ashley
mansion, Miss Faulkner was the belle, petted,

conquest, she was naughty ana considered

to her SO preposterous. She married, but her
husband, if am correctly informed, She was
divorced. She was still beautiful, and, though
divorced from her husband she was still tnsep-
arably welded to society. But the bright star

A BABY ELEPHANT,
Said to be the First that was Eve1
Horn in q State of lLanfiYitY.

A telegram from Philadelphia, March TO- says:
The London Circus, In winter quarters at 23d
street and Ridge avenue, had an addition this
morning. Hebe, the great black Asiatic ele-
phant, gave birth to baby. 1t Is queer look
hg little thing, about the size of Newfound-
land dog, with diminutive trunk, but is active
and lively. Hebe stood chained to post this
afternoon, and six other elephants looked at
her and the baby elephant In establishment.
There was lively scene after the new comer's
arrival In the early morning hours. The big
elephants set up a tremendous roar, threw their
trunks aloft, reared up, ana swayed about IN
great excitement. The keeper who was in the
stable at the time says that Hebe brokeI her
chain, seized the little fellow with her trunk,
and threw 1t 20 yards across the room. The
keeper ran for his life, and the elephant charged
a stove in the stable and almost demolished 1t.
The keeper gave the alarm, and in a short time
the animal was secured and again chained to
her post. The mother would not stand Still
long enough to suckle her babe, and this after
noon the keepers were nursing 1t in novel
WHy. They procured a funnel and a rubber
tube. Inserting the tube In the baby elephants
mouth, they fed it by milking into the other
end. Hebe Is % years old, and is fine speci-
men of Asiatic elephant. Mandrie, the sire, Is
25 ears old. The baby weighs PA pounds and
Is female. The birth sets at rest the long held
theory that the elephant female will not bear
young while in captive state, and this event
has been looked forward to with interest, a ply
sician having pronounced Hebe with foal 20
months ago.

Walt Whitman's voice is full and strong, and
he talks with some heSitancy, after the man
with the pen. He was born in 1919 on the
western edge OF Suffolk county, Long Island,
within sound OF the sea- He grew up there,
roaming the whole island. 1t has been describ-
ed as "a peculiar region-plenty OF sea-shOre,
sandy, stormy, uninviting, the horizon bound
less, the air healthy but too strong for invalldS
the bay is a wonderful resort for aquatic birds,
meadows covered with salt hay, and with num-
berleSS springs of the sweetest water In the
world" He was educated In the common
schools, and afterward worked In the printing
offices, occasionally writing for magazines. and
as a newspaper editor, In 1s47-4S he started on
long jaunt over the Middle and Southern
states up the Mississippi to the great lakes
and along the edges OF Canada.
In 1855 he settled in Brooklyn and New York
city as business man, owned several houses,
and was worth some money. But suddenly he
abandoned all, and commenced writing poems,
possessed by the notion that he must make
that bee still buzzes in his head. Leaves of
Grass was printed twenty-three years ago
partly by his own hands. Since then five or
six new editions have been put forth by HIM
self. When quite youth he began to write in
style which he has made his own. He came
TO the conclusion that the old forms Of poetry

as he rejected the old FORMS so he threw over
board all the regular stock In trade of the

1t is true OF nearly all poets, he says, but
have selected only the delicate things the
mere prettinesses, for poetic treatment, The
noble Greek poets seemed to think only the
gods and their works were worthy of celebra-
ton. Shakespeare wrote chiefly OF kings 'but
