Business Euferprise.

There is unquestionably . revival Of
business enterprise in our State. There
are already many new projects taking
solid and durable shape, that will be Of
great benefit to the public. There are
others not SO far advanced, but they are
being discussed and agitated very earnest
", and quite likely some of them will be
pushed to success il business prospects
continue to be favorable.
The want Of ofcapital is the main hIndrance
in al our enterprises. There is good
deal OF private wealth in the State, and
the owners would like to invest it in some
thing that would pay more than four per
cent, but they are timid about putting /,
into railroads. factories. mills and YES
sells, unless they can have it demonstrated
to certainty, at the start. that the invest.
ment will pay handsomely.
or this Of course they cannot be certain
ly assured. The element of uncertainty
enters into all business enterprises. There
was time when government bonds sold
1t a very low figure. but those who bought
them took the risk OF their being redeemed
by the government, and found them a
profitable investment. The old saying
Nothing venture nothing have" has q
great deal Of truth in it. Of the MANY
men who acquire wealth by their own ex.
ertions the most of them take risks and
responsibilities and then exert themselve.
to make their venture success. Enter.
prise moves the world OF business II
makes successful men and thriving com
munities, as the lack OF it keeps other mer
and communities dead and poor.
1t is an encouraging sign that our peo
pie Of means are manifesting a larger de
gree Of interest than usual in the promo
tion Of home enterprises. and we hope
that we shall see as a result project:
started and carried through that will pay
those who invest in them and add to the
industries and wealth of the State.

way of answer: But what should
breakfast be? Simply, as the name
implies, fast-breaking; or rs the Ger

sell The French, indeed, reduce their
early morsel to mere cup Of coffee or
chocolate, taken on rising, and this
suffices them until noon brings the
breakfast with knife and fork, which is
indeed, luncheon OF many courses,

habit grew out of the late hours OF the
people, and does not command itself to

THE KING OF SLAM.
In Mourning for His white Elepha

The king Of Siam is in mourning for
his white elephant, the beast officially
known as His Sublime Grandeus, the
Court and Body Elephant of the King"
1t appears to have been in this wise
that the sacred animal ended the titful
fever of his life: He had eaten a hearty
breakfast one morning, and shortly
thereafter betrayed such clear evidence
OF madness as to trample To death be-
meath his feet five of his faithful atten-
dsnis. 1t was not permitted to the sur
vivors TO treat the beast in the wholly
natural and legitimate way Of shooting
him, for that in Siam would have been
gross sscrilege. Hence the High Priest
was called III with huge ring of holy
bamboo, aud with this he encircled His
Sublime Grandeur's unruly frame, but
with no better result than the breaking
of the ring and the near ending of the
High Priests life. With great difficult
ty the enr aged animal was then forced
into narrow court Here he made
several mad efforts to break away the
walls of his close quarters, then sudden
ly fell upon upon his side, made furi-
Gus noise rs OF rage aud pain, and with
apparent great kindness to all his at
PENDANTS thereupon ceased longer to
breath the breath Of life. But the trou-
BILE of his attendants did not cease here.
Each and all were punished rs if for
carelessness by order Of the king, who
then took upon himself the habiliments
of woe.
