The Smallest Captive Elephant.

The second baby elephant ever born in
captivity was with its mother on Friday
at it's birthplace in Bridgeport, Conn,
and though only few hours old it had
developed to an extraordinary degree.
1t was born the night before at eight
O'Clock, under the most favorable condi-
tons, in the middle of q ring where there
were one hundred men and twenty ele-
plants. The elephants munched hay
with Indifference, and betrayed emotion
only when the little stranger was able to
stand on its legs. Then they snorted
with great regularity and precision for
some moments, and went to munching
hay again. The babe was little thing,
with rather shaggy hair, pink feet, and
what seemed to be a tail at both ends,
as it lay disconsolately on the sawdust.
Suddenly the mother dropped an inn
mense forefooton the chunky object,
and began to roll it to and fro with
swiftness.
Merciful spooks!" yelled Mr.. Bar
mum, dancing wildly into the ring, ':that
baby's worth 100000, and the old
mothers smashin' it.''
"No," said Queens trainer, George
Arstingstall; ''that's the way to make
1t breathe"
The mother trumpeted about and
made the widest manifestations of de.
light.
The small object was seen to move.
It got on its legs, and without bit of
previous practice turned complete
somersault. Whether it went over
backward or forward will probably go
down to posterity as a mystery, as the
spectators are pretty evenly divided on
the question of trunk or tail. 1t got up
shortly after, began to move about, and
stayed on its feet all night. It grew
very fast. 1t weighed AS pounds, was
about 80 inches high and 36 inches in
length. Its hair was long. The trunk,
which was quite bald and measured
only seven inches from the under lip to
the tip, curled about in the most wag-
gish manner, and the legs, which have
as yet not noticeable joints, or are all
joints, performed series of brilliant
but cratic evolutions, which carried the
baby in unexpected directions.
Mr.. Barnum has insured her for $780,.
600, paying 8 900 week for one year.
At eight o'clock last night, when the
baby was just one day old, symptoms OF
began to manifest them,
selves. She ran to her mother and Their
to Mr.. Arstingstall, capering clumsily,
and twirling her little trunk rapidly
while the twenty elephants stood stol
idly in circle about her and seemed
quite satisfied.-N. Y. Sun.

a portion Of the Agency site be-
tween Haury's and the river, and
laying east of the stage road, has
been laid Off into streets and blocks
by Agent Miles, and the boundries
marked off with the plough. The
lots thus laid out are for the Indian
employees, who will be encouraged
to move upon the same and Guilt
vate and otherwise improve them.
The idea is an excellent one, and Il
great deal of good will result by en-
couraging the employees to make
permanent homes for themselves,
and gather around them many com
forts and convcnienccs-dig wells,
make garden and fence lots and
corrals, and we hope the time will
soon come when their sanatarv CON
dition will admit of their living in
permanent homes.

The range boys down below are
having considerable fun out of an
amusing incident of the roundup
1t appears that one Of the local c.at-
tlemen who has been holding herd
of 1000 head Of cattle, called in his
neighbors oa the general roundup
to come on his range and "cut out"
the strays. This they did with the
surprising result that 1900 of the
cattle proved to belong to outside
parties, and less than a hundred
belonged to the owner of the range.
The boys have had nhaMy a hearty
laugh over this escapade, and tsN
with great glce how they "cut out
/ 500 strays from a herd of about a
hundred.

The Salt Fork and Eagle Chief PoOl
have secured the right from the Indian
authorities TO run fence on the south
side of the Eagle Chief to protect their
ranges from through cattle, they having
the power to cut timber to fence the same

dians haze very friendly feelings towards
the gentlemen composing this pool, as
they have always been just and upright
in all their dealings with them.
The report is in circulation that the
Indians have agreed to fence the north
line Of the Cherokee Strip, and have en-
tered into an agreement with stockmen
located thereon, whereby they are allowed
the privilege OF fencing their respective
ranges. 1t haas tsOt been stated for what

in it. A poor instrument never gives
satisfaction. and is continually annoy
ing YOU by getting out of order. There
fore. it is well to keep in mind the fact
that a good article. even if it does cost
you little m ,re money. is the cheapest
in the end. There is another point III
connection with purchasing piano
.ha. is worth considering. and it Is this:
Never buy a piano without having first
tested and thoroughly examined 1t.
Never examine one and purchase by
catalogue. or you are liable To be de-
ceived. Go where you can have q
choice of instruments and mske your
selection. and that place is the new
