colored, were nolle pressed on recon-
mendation of the commonwealth's at

ELEPHANTS in WAR.
How tho Ancients Employed tho Huge
Animals In Battle

Animals In Battle.
Alexander was one of the first of the
famous kings of history to tell OF fight
ing against an elephant host His in
vadlng army had reached the river
iiydaspes, and as the warriors looked
across they beheld tho opposing army
OF King Porus, who had not only char
lots and an enormous army. but "thc
huge creatures called elephants" These
great animals, which stood on the
farther river bank shrieiling and trum-
peting, filled the soldiers of Alexander
with terror and dislnay.
The two armies watched each other
for several days; then Alexander sue
cccdcd in crossing the river. and the
two forces drew up in line of battle.
The Indian king placed his elephants
in the front rank, one hundred feet
apart, thinking in this way so to fright
en- the horses of the foe that the entire
army would be put to flight. Between
the elephants were foot soldiers, and ut
the ends of the line were large clc-
plants bearing strong towers filled
with armed men. King Porus himself
was borne upon an elephant of unusual
height, probably as large as the famous
Jumbo"
When King Alexander, who was very
brave and valiant man, saw the orderly
foe, he said "At last have met with a
danger worthy of the greatness of my
soul" Evidently ne had due respect
for the elephant soldiers that opposed
him.
Alexander moved his forces to the at
tack, and poured in g shower of arrows
and spears. The elephants stood like Il
stone wall trampling the foot soldiers
beneath their heavy feet, Selling them

Pittsburg Post.
A lady drummer who represents q
Chicago manicure house stopped at
one of the Pittsburg hotels and told
the clerk on watch the story OF her ex-
perience the day before She was
riding on train aud was engaged II
reading o book while in the two seats
back of her, turned facing each other,
were four travelling statesmen engeg"6
In game of pedro. Ole OF them Was
o dapper young fellow who seemed to
take more delight in telling of the
he number OF hearts he had broken
IMAM of the amount OF goods he had
sold.
"Ah, boys, but 1 met fine girl
yesterday.n said he. land lady
drummer, too. What do you think
of thai? she was dream of beauty,
and only had to smile at her and
she was mine. We went to the the.
alter in the evening and afterward
cracked q bottle of champagne. In.
deed we mad gay time"
"But what was the name of your
fair charmer, che If the sample case?"
asked one of his companions.
"Well, I've really forgotten her
name, bat she gave me her card.
All. here it is" and he produced q
card from his pocket. miss
- that was her name,". said
the drummer, repeating the name OF
the lady in front of him.
Arising from her seat and cOnfron-
ting the young man she said: "Sir,
have just heard your story and heard
you pronounce my name, and wish
TO inform these gentlemen that ]
never saw you before, and that you
have been telling an unmitigated
falsehood. Kindly oblige me by
giving me that card.n
The drummer handed her the card
Hammered sort of an apology ant
broke for the smoking car. He had
evidently called at some store aftel
she had left and had picked up tn.

Arisona is planning to reproduce
for its building at the Exposition the
famous Casa Grande, which stands in

The Casa Grsnde, which is probably
the most remarkable and interesting
prehistoric ruin in North America,
was first visited by Europeans in
1888, by Cat za de Vaca and his
followers, of the Inflated Ponce de
Leon expedition. Four years later
Coronado, during his expedition to
the southwest. made it bis hea0quar-
ters. Then. as now, not even a tradi.

The building was once the main
gateway to an immense walled city,
the ruins of which still cover the

The Dangerous Cradle.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
A chance reference In reading the
other day has convinced me that
Plato did not reason well every time.
What he did not know about putting
babies 10 sleep, for instance, would
fill book. In his work upon Laws"
he lays down the rule for the manage
ment of infants "that they should be
be kept in perpetual motion and live
as If they were always tossing at sea
And why? Because (he opined) fear
is the emotion to be subdued-''a fear
caused by something that has gone
wrong within: and the remedy for
tan internal one"
Which practically interpreted
means: IT poor baby is afraid that
he will not be allowed to look at the
pretty candle light, or lie worried by
pain or a pin-trOt him incessant-
~ aud vigorously up and down, cbur.
ming his little digestive apparatus iD
to disorder; rock MIN until the head,
boobing helplessly, becomes dizzy
aud dazed in q mild form of conges-
ton; and in sheer despair. unable to
express his feelings, the "agitatedn
baby takes refuge in an unhealthy
sleep. l do believe that large pro-
portion of the diseases of the brain in
young children Is caused by the
nervous, foolish, cruel practice of
keeping in perpetual motion the deli
cate aud susceptible little bodies and
heads.
That may further support myself
In the position I have taken against
the great Plato 1 will instance the
case of a woman who had been
brought into the state of insomnia by
means of continual spinal headache
which confused her mental powers.
a new physician having been called,
he observed her during the first week
of his attendance. One day he said
abruptly: MADAM, you need no med
icines. Simply abandon your rock
ing chair!" She had the habit COM
mon to American women-that of al.
ways sitting in a rocking chair, rock.
ing necessarily, though gently, when
ever she sat down. Banishiug the
rocking chair she recovered from
both sleeplessness and headache.

MISSOURI is threatened with q
complete revoiuti ton In state politics.
While there Is no doubt that her
electoral vote by an Overw helming
majority will be cast Ia favor of the
Chicago nominee, ii Is by no means
certain that the democratic candidate
for governor will be able to carry that
state. The methods of the democra.
tic bosses who have SO long governed
Missouri, and cursed by governing
her, have alienated thousands of in.
dependent democrats and they will
no longer support the state ring. The
republicans OF the state have made a
superb nomination, which will be
backed up by vigorous canvas aud
every effort made to redeem the sta G
government from the evils into which
it has been plunged by the reckless
democracy. The election of repub'
JIcan governor in Missouri will be
worth five millions to that state
