Ia not one which promises any mate
TiRl results. Many reasons could be
quoted for this belief. One is that

STother is th1t north Traverse and
Setth Big Stone would probably be
too strong in numbers for the resi-
dents Of Graceville and suburbs who

An Elephant Remembers a Friend.

An elephant attached to Womwell's
menagerie was treated in. Gloucester
shire by druggist for internal spasm.
The animal recovered; and duly de-
parted from the town. This was in
1870. But in. 1879. when the druggist
stood at his shop door to watch the
menagerie again enter the town, the
elephant crossed the street, advanced
to the man of drugs, and placed her
trunk in his hand and grunted agree
ably to show her remembrance of past
kindness. At night, in visiting the
menagerie, the elephant. drew the
druggists attention to her side, to
which a blister had been applied nine
years before. In 1881 the elephant
again entered the town. Recognizing
her chemist friend in the audience she
lifted him gently off his feet by means
of her trunk and drew his attention to
one Of her forelegs. The keeper ex-
planned that the limb had been lanced
by veterinary surgeon, and that APP
parently she was comparing notes of
the difference between the gentler
blister of her friend and the procedure
of the surgeon, It is not often that
services are so long and gratefully re-

Charms Of CelibacY.

Did you ever see a man in the soli-
tude and privacy of his study attempt
to sew button on by himself? 1t is,
in all it's details, says the Househeeper,
one of the most interesting perform
ances in the world. First, he hunts for
a button. Generally, to secure it he
robs Peter to pay Paul, and cut one
from another garment. This may be
much larger or smaller than he size he
is wearing. Next, he hunts for a
needle, probably he goes out and buys
a paper of needles He always chooses
the largest needles, having an impress
sion that the larger needles would sew
stronger than small needles. AS to
thread, he gets the coarsest he can
find. and this he doubles. He would
thread his needle. He takes the big
| needle in one hand, and his coarse
black thread in the other; he bites off
the thread to the desired length; then
he tries to twist it to a fine point.
Generally, in this he succeeds in maxi
ing two, and sometimes three. fine
points out of one end. Of course, he
can't get all these points through
the needles eyes at once. He
tries hard to make the needle
and thread get on friend
ly terms with each other Sometimes
it is the needle that kicks, sometimes
the thread. Sometimes he really
imagines he has threaded his needle.
It is an ocular delusion. The thread
has missed the needles eye half an
inch. It is harder work than saving
wood. At last the needle is threaded.
Now he tries to sew the button on with
out taking his trousers off. This
proves failure. He twists himself
into an uncomfortable position, and so
would sew. But he can not sew SO.
He runs the needle into his finger, and
makes an inaudible exclamation.
Again the needle slips into a fleshy
part of the hand, which induces a very
audible dash from the operator. The
recording angel knows what is going on
inside of him, and debts him with
every item. He sews hard. He has
forgotten all about the necessity for a
thimble. He jams his thumb down on
the needles head, and it punctures his
thumb or runs under the nail. BY and
by he sews the buttons eye full Of
thread. His big needle does not pass
through any more. He must stop. He
ends by winding the thread as many
times as it will go under the button,
and perhaps he leaves off with two or
three inches of thread sticking outside
A woman can, through many outward
indications, tell when man has been
trying to sew on a button. He doesn't
know the shibboleth of needle and
thread, and it catches somewhere every
time. At last the button is sewed on,
and he is proud of his work.

One Way to Collect a BIZ.

For yeAr or two past, the collector
for certain Detroit tailor. says tho
Free Press, has been trying all sorts
OF pacific ways TO- get the sum. of $13
out OF young man who has been u
creditor over two years. The collector
has been put off a hundred times by
promises made only to be broken, and
he has worked every scheme known to
the profession without avail The 9TH
er evening he happened down at the
Third street depot and, saw his young
man buy ticket for Chicago
80 you are going west?" he, asked.
''Only to Chicago. I'll be back in
three or four days, and then L want to
pay you that little BILL"
''Yes. Going to Chicago on a visit?'
Something of a. visit; going to get
married"
"No!"
''Fact. The ceremony takes. place
at 10 o. clock in the morning."
''And you want to- be there, Of
course?''
Il should smile!''
The collector took off his hat; remov-
ed his coat and was peeling off his vest
when the other. asked him what, was
up.
''Pve been biding my time. and my
opportunity has come," he replied.
''How-what?"
"pm going to light into YOU. You
are the bigger man, and I expect'to be
licked, but the row will certainly cause
both of us to be arrested and taken to
the station, and you will thus miss
your train. Perhaps can black your
eye, and in that case the marriage
can't come off for week. Put up your
dukes"
"Say, man, you wouldn't be as mean
as that?''
Thirteen dollars or row.
"pll pay you half"
''The whole or nothing. It's my
first, last and only chance. Come down
or put up"
The young man took out his Doodle
and counted, out the amount of the bill,
and while he skipped for the train the
other calmly donned his garments and
left the depot whistling: II Wonder
What My Ma Would Say?"
