An enterprising firm in Caribou pur-
chased seven dozen wire springs de-
signed for holding the FESTIVE tail of
COW during the task of milking. A re-
viva] was in progress at the time. and
all of one farmers family and his
hired man had experienced rel igion. y
but the old gentleman himself said he
could never become a Christian while
he had to milk the cows, for he couldn't
help swearing when one of their tails
struck him acr oss the face. This firm
heard of the man, sought him out, and
finally succeeded in disposing of one of
their springs to him under the solemn
assurance that it would entirely cure
him of profanity. And from that day
to this those springs have never been
known as anything but Christian
izers. "-Lewiston Journal

AN ELEPHANTS LOVE.
1t Was Bestowed on q Surgeon for Hi
Kind Offices.


An English civil engineer, resident
of Calcutta, has in his possession val
liable elephant. to which he is much
attached, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. Not long ago the animal was
afflicted with very troublesome in
fiammation of the eyes, from which lie
lost his sight. The disconsolate owner
consulted surgeon and begged him
to do his utmost to cure the elephant
The surgeon decided to use lapis in
fernalis, a remedy which is very effica-
cious in similar Affections of the hu-
man eye. The keeper was called. and
q few moments afterward the elephant
was made to kneel down before the
man of science, who quickly treated
one of the inflamed eyes with the
caustic. As sooE as the elephant felt
the effects of the burning solution, he
uttered terrific roar and, maddened
with pain. ran around in his cage,
tearing down everything that came in
his way. 1t was several hours before
he could be pacifed by his keeper.
When several days afterward the sur
geon paid his second visit, he found to
his great surprise that his treatment
had worked wonders, for the eye was
entirely cured. He decided to use the
same remedy on the other eye, but. to
avoid all danger. ordered the animal
to be chained. This precaution. how
ever, was unnecessary, for as soon as
the elephant heard the surgeons voice
he knelt down before him of his own
accord and during the entire operation,
which was very painful, uttered no
cry, but instead rubbed his trunk ca
re5singly up and down the surgeons
body. When the latter had finished
the operation the animal followed him
to the door of his cage and seemed
10th to part with him. The second
treatment resulted in the entire cure
of the eyes of the elephant.

About the Weather.


About the Weather.

in the profitable pastime Of seeing the
fair. says the Chicago Post Often she
goes along and studies what she most
wants 10 without outside hindrance
and is happy in the freedom of Ameri-
can womanhood. at such times,
naturally. she lunches alone. One day
on her way TO the grounds she dropped
into the cafe of q fashionable down
town hotel. The luncheon was good,
and she was so taken up with attend
ing t, her share OF it that she would
never have noticed her vis-a-vis had it
not been for his remarl.ing afTably:
Jaw. good morning: it's a nice da-ay."
The young schoolma' am looked up
suddenly, but the man was stranger
to her, and she only gave him look
which ought to have conveyed a mean
ing even to the density of British
mind. That didn't discourage him the
least bit.
"A vewry nice da-ay for the fair" he
commented.
Then the young woman took heart of
grace.
You are not an American" she
said.
The fellow brisked up-he was en-
couraged then: SO he settled his glass
in his eye and tugged at his mustache
and exclaimed: law, no." in q way
that was perfectly killing.
Il thought not" said the young
woman. quietly. Americans are most
ly gentlemen"
Afterward. in telling the story, she
remarked naively: But. you know, 1

sentful if he had started the converse
ton with anything else but remark
on the weather. | couldn't stand that

you'll have to show me her room. If you

me the pistol. Hallam"
He didn't care whether the doctor
was an accomplice of the girls uncle or
! not-but he saw now plainly that he
was guilty. His craven demeanor, his
attempted pleas for mercy condemned
him. Derval silenced him, and we
reached the house. Maud slept alone,
though within locked doors.

He looked deathly. He waited with
his prisoner while went into the room
and woke the poor girl. Derval had

But by this time the doctor was half
dead with terror. We left him gagged
in the grounds, and made our way to
the carriage we had come in. Then
Derval gathered the girl close, and the
two seemed to forget the world itself.

hours of my life.
