A good many of the newspaper ways
are inclined to play with the name of
the new grand master workman of the
knights of Labor, Mr.. Sovereign. The
more conservative opinion of the coun-
try is that the grand lodge of that order
made the rankest play in changing that
officer; IN fact. played the dickens.

As Sweet and as Dear a. Ever.

She has cast aside the garments that awhile
ago she wore;
The Elton jacket and the skirt Of serge she
wears no more;
The sailor hat is put away, and shoes Of patent
leather
Or dainty russets and the hose that suited
summer weather.
The dress she wears to-day Is built upon . dif.
ferent plan;
The Jackets pretty long and trimmed, perhaps,
with astrakhan.
But her cheeXs are still like roses and her lips
still ripe and red
And silken still the tresses that adorn her
shapely head;
Her eyes are still like diamonds, her teeth are
still like pearl,
And we love her just as much as when she was
the summer girl

Bad Time For a Boy 10 Laugh.

As matter of fact a boy never
should laugh at his father until he the
boy is eighteen years Of age al least.
Earlier than that, according to The
Minneapolis Tribune, 1t IS not safe.
A bov over near the university has Tor
several evenings stood up to eat his
meals. and all because he neglected
the above rule of conduct. His father
takes great pride in a Hambletonian
colt he is raising. The old man fairly
delights in pottering around the stable,
and he can hardly wait until that colt
is four years old and trots q mile 10
harness in 2:05l, as it surely will.
The other morning the pater was fuss
ing around in an old silk hat and
an equally venerable greatcoat, pitch
fork in hand, and while he was work
ing about the colts heels the boy gave
the animal its feed. The colt doesn't
allow any familiarities while feeding,
and when the old man, in q STOPPING
position, backed up against him, the
colt lashed out with both feet Tho
man stood so near that the kick broke
no bones, but he was shot rs from q
catapult right through the clapboards
on the side of the barn. His head wGs
driven through mis- tile, and when he
extricated himself from the splnters
the rim of his headgear hung around
his neck like a ruff. He regarded the
whole business as rough, and delivered
ON oration through his hat which the
boy regarded as amusing. The young
ster laughed. First he stood and
laughed, then he laid down and
laughed, and rolled over and over and
hugged himself and still laughed. But
when that devoted father got clear
from the wreckage he seized the near
est strap, and the boy has not smiled
once since. The boy knows now that
he is not big enough to laugh at his
father.

The Elephant Remembered Him.

An elephant with good memory
came near killing q small boy at the
Pittsburg Zoo the other day. Some
months ago the boy, with several COM
panions, was engaged in feeding the
elephant buns from the end Of a stick
in which he had fastened q small nail
Watching his opportunity the little ras-
cal jabbed the nail into the elephant 5
trunk and ran away. Monday last the
same boy came to the Zoo with some
others. and as soon as the elephant
caught sight of him it trumpeted and
made a rush for him. The keeper ran
mn and drove the beast back, and none
too soon, for it was just in the act of
wrapping its trunk about the lad, and
in another moment it would have been
all up with him. On being questioned
the boy at first denied ever having done
any harm to the elephant, but finally
confessed the facts. The keeper told
him that he had better stay away from
the Zoo and take good care to keep out
Of that elephants way all his life, as
the animal would never forget him.

ORGANS Lost by Disuse.

It is @ suggestive fact not always suf-
ficiently considered that "as soon as
any organ or faculty falls into disuse
it degenerates and is finally lost alto
gether" Through oil the ages that
man has had the power of speech this
power has not been fixed in us in any
degree whatever by heredity. 1t is re-
garded as definitely proved that if
child of civilized parents were brought
up in q desert place and allowed no
communication whatever with man, 1t
would never make any attempt at
speech. Up to the last century 1t was
not uncommon to find persons living
in wild state in the woods and forests
of England, France, Germany and Rus
sia, who were utterly incapable OF
speech, though they could make sounds
of imitation of the cries of wild ami
mails. Certain parasitic insects have
go completely degenerated that they
possess neither eyes, legs, heads,
mouths, stoma,hs nor intestines. Ami
mails that burrow anG i've under ground
lose the power of sight or have eyes
that are merely rudimentGry. Slave
ants and working ants have lost their
wings through being kept entirely to
life on the ground. The masters IN
some colonies of ants in which slaves
are kept have become so hopelessly de-
pendent on their slaves that they not
only will not seek food, but are inca
pable of feeding themselves, and will
starve with food before them unless
slave is present to place it in their
Jaws Leisure Hour.

A Supersaoac;ous e!eJssnl.

Charles Stowe, of Girard, Penn. adds
this veracious narrative to the recorded
instances of almost human intelligence
in animals:
'I've read good deal" said Mr..
Stowe, "about the intelligence of ele-
plants, but there is circus elephant
out in Geneva, Ohio, that is the smart
est and most intelligent elephant on
earth.
"Once in while q cyclone sweeps
over the Buckeye State and levels
buildings to the ground. This ele-
phant, whose name is Snoozer, knows
as much about meteorological condi-
tions as the entire force of the weather
bureau combined. Not long ago, as
Snoozer cast his weather eye out ofthe
window, he saw n cyclone to the south
east headed dead on the menagerie
building.
Slipping his chain and grasping an
ak in his trunk he went out to the
windward of the building and drove a
guy stake deep in the ground. The
cyclone was then but a mile off and
was rapidly nearing the building.
Rushing inside, Snoozer unfastened
the cage containing the giant python,
and seizing the big snake in his trunk
trotted outside and tied his tail to the
guy stake. Then rearing himself on
his hind legs he fastened tho python's
head around the center chimney OF the
building. The cyclone was now but a
quarter of mile away.
'Dashing around to the leeward OF
the building the intelligent pachyderm
braced his powerful legs in the ground
and put his head against the side ofthe
building. The cyclone wns now but
one hundred yards of. The next IN
slant it struck the menagerie with
terrific force. The superior inteli-
gence OF the elephant was here most
evident If he had taken chain and
fastened it to the windward side Of the
building it would have been snapped
like a thread, but the python was
elastic and he stretched just enough to
hold the building in place, together
with the elephants brace on the other
side. The force of the cyclone was so
great that it stretched the python ten
feet and showed Snoozer's legs down
into the hard ground up TO bis body.
when the cyclone passed over
Snoozer trotted around, united the
python, replaced it in its cage, pulled
up the guy stake with his trunk, re-
turned the ak to its place, slipped the
chain over his forefoot and contentedly
resumed his MONDAY meal Of hay -

HOW TO SEE THE FAIR.
USEFUL HINTS TO EC0N0MIzE
TIME AND TROUBLE,

Exhibits That Are Ready and Those
That Are Not--A Trip Through the
Grounds and the Bulldings-A
Glance at the Various Buildings
and Objects of Interest.
After all complaints have been made and
praises sung about the Worlds Fair, it is
probable that tho question will be asked by
by the average American "How shall l see
it?" What things are good to spend long
time over, what should be merely glanced at,
and what should be skipped entirely. In the
first place. says the New York Posts Chicago
correspondent, the general advice may be
given TO keep away from the Midway Pla.s-
ance until the end OF your stay, on the same
principle that more solid food should precede
dessert. Once within that fascinating side
show and there is a possibility OF visitor
not going anywhere else.
The first thing necessary for q visitor to
do is to get the general effect Of the architec-
ture and the grounds. This is best accom-
plished taking the Intramural Railway, an
elevated road which runs inside the fence OF
the Park and takes in the complete circuit OF
the Fair grounds. The fare is only ten
cents. and the cars are comfortable and thus
far have not been crowded. But the IntTam-
ural does not afford one satisfactory look
at the lagoons and the basins, and to accom-
plish this it is advisable that the fifty cents
necessary for a trip in an electric launch or
In one OF the gondolas be expended. The
more picturesque craft is, Of course, the
gondOla, but it does not move quickly and
its route is shorter than the route OF the
launches.
