A BIT or Manners.

1t was not because he was handsome
that Fell in love with him. For the
little fellow was not handsome as the
phase goes. But he had clear, honest
eyes that looked friendly into yours and
a mouth that smiled cordially IL shyly,
as my friend touched his plump little
hand which rested on the back of the
car seat. He was with his mother. She
was plainly clad as was he. She had
thoughtful face, perhaps little sad. 1
fancied she was alone in the world
that her husband might be dead and
this little boy her sole treasure. He had
a protecting air as if he were her
only champion and defender. But hs
could TO- have been more than FIVE
years old.
We arrived at our station and left the
car. We waited for the long train to
pass. As thu car in which our little
friend was seated came up he was at the
window. He caught sight of us, and
with the instinct OF established courte-
Gus habit his hand went up to his cap,
and the cap was lifted. a bright smile
on the bonny face and he was gone.

year-old fellow is the lone in a hun

Poor Man

\ burglar got into the house of a
frail looking, sad eyed little widow in
Tucson the other night. Not fnding
any Yaluables down stairs he stealthily
ascended 10 the second floor and entered
the room where the sleeping and un-
suspecting woman lay with a smile that
told of pleasant dreams on her lips.
Roughly shaking her, the dastardly
intruder said gruffly
Here, wake up now just you keep
cool no use yelling l know as well
as you do that you're alone in the house;
just hand over the Keys to-here, stop

When the police finally got there they
found the burglar done up with Clothes
line as Eeatly as a grocer does up ten
pounds of sugar. He was just opening
his eyes in the coming to' process :;
when they rested on the little widow
they took on a beseeching look as be
shivered and gasped out

Elephants Carrying Lumber.

Lazy and clumsy-looking as the ele-
phant appears in our manageries, where
it is merely an object of curiosity, in
Asia 1t is as useful an animal as the
horse, and is, indeed, employed in
greater variety of WAYS.
There are few, II any, tasks a horse
caI be trusted TO perform without care
ful and constant guidance whereas the
elephant is frequently given as much
independence of action as a man would
have for the same work. This is nota-
bly, the case In The lumber-yards OF
Rangoon and Msulmein. where the en-
tire operation of moving and piling the
heavy timber, is performed by male
elephants without any special supervi-
sion by the keepers.
The logs to be moved are teakwood
which is very heavy. They are cut
into lengths of about twenty feet, with
diameter or pe.haps square, OF about
a foot An elephant will go to log,
kneel down, thrust his tusk. under the
middle of It, test it to see that it is
evenly balanced. and then rise with it
and easily carry it to tie pile which is
being made. Placing the log carefully
on the pile in its proper place, the sag
acious animal will step back a few
spaces and measure with his eye to de-
termine whether or not the logs needs
pushing one way or the other. It VIII
then make any necessary alteration OF
position. In this way, without a word
of command from its mahout, or driver,
1t Will go on with its work.
To do any special task, it must OF
course, be directed by the mahout but
it is marvelous TO see how readily this
great creature comprehends its instruc-
tions, and now ingeniously it makes use
of its strength. II log too heavy to
be carried is to be moved a short dis
tance. the elephant will bend low, place
his head against the end of the log and
with sudden exertion of strength and
weight throw his body forward and
fairly push the log along or 10 move
the log any great distance, he will en-
circle it with a chain and drag his load
behind him.
As rule, however, the dragging is
done by the female elephants, since,
having no tusks, they cannot carry logs
as male elephants do. A man could
hardly display more Judgment in the
adjustment OF the rope or chain around
log :; nor could a man with his two
hands tie and unite knots more skill
fully than they do with their trunks.

A Likely Story or q Bustle.

When bustles first came into fash ion,
a certain society lady in Minneapolis,
who is apt to carry things little towards
extremes in matters of dress, had one
made to order. She insisted that it
should De large one. and it was. 1t
was so gigantic. IN fact, that it was rele-
gated TO the attic. But in the course Of
time it came to pass that bustles were
worn larger, and having need for new
one, the lady tethought herself of the
airy network that she hac once discard
ed. Down it came from the attic and it
proved lust her siZe.;' But the bus
tie was inhabited. a cunningly con-
structed nest reposed insine, and a fast
growing and inquisitive family of mice
poked out their pink noses to resent the
rude disturbance. The lady, remarkable
to relate. had not the traditional femI-
nine fear of mice. She bravely wore the
hustle. mice and all. AS I he DAYS pass
ed on her strange pets became very
tame. She had small aperture made
IN her dress over the top of her hustle,
covered with convenient plsit, and it
is her chief delight to terrorize her
friends by calling forth the mice from
their retreat, as she sits entertaining
her visitors. OEe poor dude is alleged
to have tainted away at the sight OF the

weather brought out remarks about
cold days when he was young man.
Yes, it was cold then. I've known
men to be found frozen along the road
side. Once stage driver, driving over
the stage line from Newburg to Al
bany, through Kingston, was found
frozen dead in his seat. We didn't
have many Thermometers in those days.
but we felt the cold all the same. Yes
see we burned wood instead of coal.
Most OF the houses were heated with big
d-epiaces, 80 large that q small log Of
wood could be rolled in and propped I'D
and used for back log. A roaring fi.e
in one OF these chimneys would scorch
the hair off a cat six feet away. There

house on Greene street, near Pearl. l
used to drag logs for these big freplaces

log in the fireplace with handspikes.

Points on the Mercury.

1t is said TO be nearly as cold in New
York as out west. where Billiards are
blowing the mortgages of the farms.
To investigate this assertion a report
er took trip around town in search Of
corroboIative facts.

met Montana man from Helena. He
said that h5 should not return to the

80 cold when he left Bozeman, in Sep

into paper weights, To remain in that
shape until the spring elections.
AT the Fifth Avenue hotel a promi-
nent citizen from ST. Paul was found
in his room, with the steam turned off

that Minnesota was cool, but beautiful.
People never die there with consump-
ton, because their lungs freeze stiff on
their arrival and only this we'd out when
they went back east 10 die. All the
cemetery companies in St. Paul were
bankrupt, and the undertakers were
building skating rinks, and would run
them as permanent investment.

in Proctor Knott's county the canned

The blizzard from Dakota had no effect
on fruit. 1t was customary for skaters
to fill their pockecs with stewed prunes
plucked from the trees. Canned peaches
were as plentiful in January as are CO.

The numerous steam boats, mules, wood
yards, happy homes and occasional
