uow ,n,lade,pi,a Kills Elephants.

When, few years ago, 9 Snowman in
Philadelphia desired to end the life of 0
vicious elephant In his company, he did
not go about it In the bungling manner
adopted in New York to kill Tip. He
took rope, made, as we remember it,
especially for the purpose, slipped it
around the brute's neck and then hitched
another elephant to each end of the rope.
The free elephants were then driven in
opposite directions until the rope tight
ened about the victims throat, and he
fell forward and expired. It was all
over In about half an hour, but then, as
the New Workers say, Philadelphia Is q
slow old town.-Philadelphia Enquirer.

Ex-POatmnster Milrh In the Ranks of
Woman Sufragfsta.


The suffrage workers need not be dis
couraged because the Democratic man
ayers of the coming state convention do
not went to listen to their appeal, as they
are making converts every day among
the members of the Democratic party.
The latest announced suffragist in the
Democratic ranks is ex-Postmaster John
Mileham, who has joined A II. Case in
demanding equal rights for women.
The announcement of Mileham's con-
version has not been received with Joy
in the Democratic household, and it is
understood that his position on the suf-
frage question was the principal cause
of his not being selected as delegate to
today's convention.
A young Democrat who is not married
accounts for the conversion of Mr.. Mile
ham to the influence of Mrs. Mileham.
