An ELEPHANT STORY.

ln one of the great travelling circusci
which every season makes grand tout
of the United State: there is n great
elephant named Bimbo. ijimbo sa yer,
wise elephant. and she is the handsomcst
of all the elephants in the circus com.
pany to which she belongs. Bimbo i.
dark gray in color. She is as gray AS u
Maltese cat, and her skin looks rs smooth
as velvet. Bimbo has large, handsome
feet. that arc said to we gh ninety
pounds each. Aud her trunk is the
largest aud the most graceful trunk, 81
Bimbo's keepers say. OF any elephant
trunk in the world
IL is about Bimbo's trunk that YOU arc
going TO hear. This trunk was the means
of saving one of Bimbo's babies once
upon time. But you must hear the
whole story.
Many years ago-pcrhaps ten ycars-
Bimbo was q free elephant, running wild
in the jungics of Africa. She had never
seen white man near by. and she did
not know what il was to be in a circus
procession and he fed with peanuts by
small boys. But one day there came
into the jungle where Bimbo lived three
white men and several natives, all OIL
horseback and armed with great spears
and rifles. When Bimbo saw them she
knew that they meant mischief to her
and to her family, because she had once
seen her brother, who was n big gray
elephant like herself caught by these
hunters and led away. And she had
never seen him since.
Before Bimbo had time TO get out of
the way, she found herself surrounded
by the men, and tie only way to save
herself was to make a grand dash for
liberty by breaking through between
the places where Tim horsemcn had sta
toned themselves. Bimbo could easily
have done this, ;or 1he was fleet runner
in those days. BIT she SAW that il she
ran so fast she would have To leave her
baby cub behind her; and Bimbo made
up her mind that she would die before
she would leave her dear little elephant
cub. And then the horscmen surrounded
Bimbo, and the next thing she knew
there were ropes tied around her legs.
so that she could only take very short
steps, and to run away would nave been
impossible.
Before they had time to lead Bi,nbo
away or TO do any harm to the cub
Bimbo threw her great trunk into the
mir and beloved once with such mighty
below that the whole Jungle ,rembled
with the sound, and then she threw he,
trunk around the cub, aud lifting il higl
into the air. she carried it in front of her
during n whole days march in the Jungle.
Next day the horscmen persuaded Bimbo
tc walk with the other animals But
Bimbo seemed to firmly believe that she
had saved the life of her cub; and no
doubt she had. And this is one Of tho
ftorics which the keepers say that Bimbe
xeeps in her trunk. THEW York Ledger

Great Jews.

The French publication, Revue des
Deux Mondes, has taken up the Jewish
question and shows how much the world
Is indebted to the Hebrew race in the
field of intellect and genius. AS states
men are mentioned Disraeli, Gambetta
and Ferdinand Lassalle, the latter now
giorifed in Germany as the "adored re-
deemer of the toiling masses" Herschel,
the astronomer, was Jew, fact not
generally known. .
In art the race has taken a still more
prominent place. The greatest sculptor
Russia has produced SO far, Antomol-
sky, belongs to the race she is driving
with such ruthless cruelty out from her
borders. OF renowned musical compos-
ers the list is SO long that only few can
be named-as Meyerbeer, Halevy and
Mendelssohn. Pauline Lucca is a Jew
ess. Of that race also may be named
Rubinstein, Joachim and Sir Michael
Costa. 1t is true that Michael is rather
an unusual first name for Jew, but the
blood is all right in Costas veins. The
Revue might mention among actresses
two of the greatest ever known-Rachel
and Sarah Bernhard 1t is quite right
in declaring that of men and women of
genius this race has produced probably
more than any other
In all the centuries of modern times
the worlds famous financiers have been
almost without exception Jews. The
Revue probably never heard that some
authorities affirm Jay Gould himself, our
greatest American money getter, to have
been Of Hebrew extraction, and that his
name can be easily traced back to the
original Jason Gold" Another profess
sion neglected in the article in The Re
vue is that Of the journalist. Among
prominent newspaper men in America
are the Pulitzer brothers in New York,
the De Youngs in San Francisco, while
across the water the proprietors Of the
London Telegraph, among others, show
how able the Jew is as a newspaper con-
ductor. TO the charge that Jews lack
ideals and idealism The Revue replies
beautifully: M
Whatever he may be now, through him were
transmitted the ideals our souls have lived on
for 1000 years and more. The prophets Of
Ephraim and the apostles of Galilee were the
herslds of idealism TO the whole world.

In response to recent editorial in
the HERALD on the probability of the
Nooksack Reporters road convention
scheme falling through from lack OF
general interest, Editor Jones writes a
personal letter to the HERALD in which
he says:
The Reporter is making persistent ef-
forts with the road supervisors to con-
vene informal meetings as near the 18th
Of April as possible-some of which are
already advertised TO be held. The out
look is good Tor a large meeting OF strong
men on May LIST in New Whatcom.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that the
convention to be held on May list will
be well attended by representative
men from every part of the county.
One Of the most pressing needs of the
county is a system of good roads, and
while the convention will not have of
fetal authority in accomplishing this
much desired result, it will none the
less prove influential, if properly at
tended, in getting the subject system
atiLed and seeing what official or pr.
vate action should be taken. 1t cannot
be hoped that the farmers and garden.
ers now in the county can realize much
profit in hauling their products to
market over our present roads, nor will
visiting farmers find much inducement
to purchase land in this section with
the enormous difficulties to overcome
in getting their goods hauled to their
new home, and in subsequently cert
ing their products from the farm 20 the
Bay cities or a railroad station, if they
should desire to locate back from the
present lines of travel 1t is too late a
day to write editorials on the necessity
Of good roads. The resident who en-
tertains a negative opinion on this sub
lect would hardly dare express himself
openly in opposition to such need. Nor
Is 1t necessary to call attention to the
deplorable condition Of the highways
In this county, for the farmers, who
are really the most interested parties,
know from rough experience more
about the subject than any Others. The
principal point at issue now il the orig
mating Of a plan by which the county
roads can be improved and new ones
built, and to find a means by which
such plan may be carried to success
ful issue, both Of which problems the
convention to be held on May lst ought
TO be able TO solve.

How to Fight Monopolies.

The editor of German-American
newspaper calls attention to the fact
that the small business man is more and
more crowded to the wall and being
ruined by the present system Of great in
dustrial corporations. Capitalists unite
their funds and their intelligence to man
ufacture and sell articles more cheaply
than the small maker or dealer possibly
can. They put their goods on the mar
ket and ruin him.
1t is the history of one industry after
another until at present large proper
ton of the great branches Of maxufac-
ture all ever the country are consolidat-
cd, each under one arrangement 1t is
true that under this management the
manufactured articles are of good quail
ity andtthe price of them is in some cases
cheaper than it was before. But the in
jury done to the individual tradesman
OF manufacturer Is the serious and IN
pleasant feature of the present tendency.
But there is no use fighting the cur
rent. The consolidating tendency of in
dustry at the close of the nineteenth
century is one of the most significant
signs of the times. 1t is literally the
idea of cooperation applied in the ways
that are not always right or agreeable.
But the poor workingmen, the small
tradesmen, have the remedy in their own
hands. Let them not oppose the CO.
operative current They cannot do it.
1t is too strong for them, and they will
Only break themselves against it. Let
them swim with it. Take 200 work
ingmen in any city Let them contrib
ute $40 apiece There would be work
ing capital of $4,000. With this they
could start cooperative store OF grocery
OF coal business that would be the be
ginning of a great success. Or let them
pay 800 apiece in insallments. There
would be in q short time 500, 00e. a nu-
cleus of capital that could be the begin
ning of great manufacturing success.
Whatever the average working people
of any town or city want to do in the
way of trade and manufacture they can
do by uniting. The present bloated mo
nopohes which are complained Of were
made by few men With large capital.
Intelligent labor can accomplish the
same results by means of many men
with small capital.

A Pennsylvania Idea.

A lawyer Of Pittsburg-John II. Ste
venson has the honor to be has name-has
drafted and sent for introduction into
the Pennsylvania legislature bill that
is worthy Of notice. 1t is bill provid-
ing that no man addicted to the habit Of
drinking intoxicating liquors shall be
appointed to any statutory Office in that
state Being addicted to the habit of
drinking intoxicating liquors" is inter-
preted by this act to mean that man
has been publicly intoxicated within one
year previous to his appointment. The
word publicly" leaves a large hole in
this would be statute.
Then Mr.. Stevenson's act names the
officers whom it is intended to affect.
They include administrators and guard
ans, commissioned officers of state mi
htia, policemen and firemen and all Off
GERS created by special law OF statute.
This would probably include teachers in
the public schools if such thing had
ever been known as schoolteacher's
getting drunk. The peculiar feature of
this would be law is. however, in its
postscript or last clause. ut will not
affect members of the Legislature"
Why not members of the legislature9
There can only be one explanation. Mem
bers of the Pennsylvania legislature must
be such teetotal temperance men that
there was no need to include them I'M
der the law against men who get drunk
holding Office. 1t is odd, too, for mem
bers of congress and of legislatures gen.
orally are not averse to intoxicating
drinks. But not Pennsylvania legisls-
tors, as we see from Mr.. Stevenson's law.
They never are drunk. Allow us here
with to hold up the Pennsy .vania legis-
iators to the gaze Of an admiring world
as the only state Legislators in America
who never become intoxicated.

One of the things that will make coun-
try life more agreeable is the electric
street car Before many years lines of
these cars will be running through every
thickly settled neighborhood. Instead
Of having to take his farm horses from
the plow or wagon whenever an errand
to the next village must be done, it will
only be necessary for the rural inhab-
liant to wait till the electric car comes
along, board it and go to the postoffice or
country store in a jiffy and back again
by the same means of transit. The cleo
trio car is cheaper than the horse car.
The tracks can be easily laid at the sides
of the wide roadway. Such lines, too,
would quickly increase the population of
a country neighborhood They might
now be established in many localities
which the steam railway has not yet
penetrated. They could easily connect
towns which now have no means Of com
munication except by horse and carriage.
