After Fifteen Years.

A few miles out of the city Of
Bankok there is mineral spring,
and near it bungalow much fire.
quented by the Europeans in the city.
An Englisthman says that one even
ing as he rode up to this bungalow, a
gentleman was alighting from his
howdah at the entrance.
AS soon as he had dismOnnted, his
elephant was moved to one side, and
my driver, who was seated on the
head Of my elephant, ordered it to
advance. The instant he spoke, the
animal which had moved aside to
make room for us tapped his great
ears, and then turned sharply around,
facing my driver.
Suddenly, without the least warn
ing, he stretched out his long trunk
and wrapped it about the body of my
man. Then, before any one had
time to interfere, he raised him high
in the air and brought him to the
ground with tremendous force! AS
the poor fellow struck the earth we
could hear his bones crack. But the
elephant was not done with him.
The next moment he had placed his
huge foot on the head and chest of
the PROSTATE driver. When he raised
it again, all semblance Of life was
gone from the crushed, mutilated
body.
The gentleman whose elephant had
committed the terrible deed was
greatly distressed. He said that he
had purchased the animal from the
kings pen, that it had always been
exceedingly gentle and well-disposed.
The animal was blind, one eye having
been put out by an attendant fifteen
years previous.
1t was my driver, / learned the
next day, who had put out the ele-
plants eye. He was at the time one
OF the guards at the kings stock pen,
and, for some misdemeanor committed
by the animal, had thrown stone,
which struck the creature full in the
eye.
The elephant was so enraged there
after at the sight Of him, that, fear
ing for his life, the man left the
place. But the injured animal had
bided his time, and after fifteen years
OF waiting had terribly punished his
enemy.

A Munich dispatch says that the Kaiser

German and Swedish cabinets relative to
the attitude of Sweden I'm the event OF

ready wit, "that it is high time for
all babies to be in bed;" and so saying
he gathered up his papers and dis
appeared from the platform. Again
and this last anecdote is so we'll
known as to have become wou-nigh
historical-at crowded meeting just
before his election, he was interrupted
by the question:: "Does your mother
know you're out?" eyes, she does"
was the instant retort, ''and by
Tuesday night she will know I'm in"
His prophecy proved correct and he
headed the poll by a large majority.
