This One Was the Solomon of All the
 Smart Fellows
 One day, says writer of English military experience, heavy gun stuck in the muddy bottom of q stream, and the tandem elephant was unhoolzed to shove behind, or lift the muzzle of the gun with his trunk But he would not; he only beloved and swayed uneasily, shifting from one foot to the other in the sticky mud. At last, with piteous,. shrill trumpeting, he touched the sharp point of the iron right on the muzzle.
 He says he is afraid of hun ting him self, sahib," explained the mahout.
 We'll" answered the officer, in jest, tell him to spoke the wheel"
 Promise him backshoesh, and he will"
 Very we'll"
 The elephant carefully found se- curer footing, curled his trunk round lower spoke, and made the wheel re- volve; then the shaft elephant put in his ponderous weight and the gun slowly rose out of the mud and rolled up the opposite bank.
 The triumphant mahout demanded backshecsh for his Hooshiar Haiti (wise elephant).
 You scampl You want the back sheesh for yourself"
 No, sahib, dare not cheat him, and if you don't give him backsheesh he will remember you are no gentle man and will never work for you again."
 All right" said the officer, tossing the man couple of rupees in success sion. "How shall know you don't cheat him?"
 ''Come and see him fed this evening, sahib."
 That evening by moonlight the officer was summoned to see Hooshiar Haiti eat his supper The elephant was swaying to and fro, flaming himself with a branch, and round the fire stood huge chupatties-fat cakes of flour, butter and sugar-purchased with the bac6sheesh for the Hooshiar's supper. The mahout took up one of these cakes and offered it to the ''wise one," who weighed it carefully in his trunk and then deposited it with a satisfied smack in his mouth.
 ''Now, sahib, this second chupattie is light weight. See him find it out"
 The elephants are accustomed to a certain ration weight, and when the Hooshiar took this cake by the edge an angry twinkle came into his wicked eye, and, quick as lightning, he slapped the mahout in the face with the leath- cry mass.
 ''See, sahib," cried the man in glee, ''I dare not cheat him!' And he got up and offered a larger chupattie. Here, you foolish onel Did I ever cheat you? This one is overweight"
 The elephant understood, and ate in foreiving tranquility Public Opinion.

RATHER DIE THAN LIVE
Body Entirely Broken Out in One Mass of Sores. Could Not Sleep. Would Walk the Floor All Night Crying and Suffering.
BEGAN TO USE CUTICURA.
Immediate Relief, Rest and Sleep. Complete and Permanent Cure
 in Two Months.

The first of October my daughter was taken with Typhoid and Malaria. Whilesi sick there came little blsters in the bends of the arms, which seemed to fill with water and itch. The doctor said when she got well these would leave, but they grew worse all the time, until from hef neck down to her feet, her body was entirely broken out in one mass of sores. She could not sleep but would walk the floor all night crying, and said she would rather die than live, suffering like this. Reading your advertisement in The Ladies Home Joafndl of the cures performed by CUTIcURA REMEDIES in similar cases we sent for and began to use them. and in one week she began to get better, would sleep and rest easily. and in two months, after using five boxes Of CUTICuRA, one cake of CGTIcURA SOAP, and twd bottles of CUTIcIiRA REsoLvENT she was entirely well, and now after nearly two years there has been no trace of the disease. The doctor called it Psoriasis. I cannot give your remedies too much praise, for believe my daughter would have died if it had it not been for the CuTIcURA REMEDIES. MARY J. NELSON,
