FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
ELEPHANTS TENDING BABIES.

Monsters That Take the Tenderest Care of
Mahout's Children.
Weakness appeals powerfully to the
friendly protection of the strong, and
even among brutes-at least the nobler
kinds-the appeal is not often in vain.
In the curious relations between mon
ster and midget we not infrequently see
the fable of the lion and the mouse re-
peated without words. There is nothing
by any means uncommon or incredible
in the stories which have been reported
about the children of a mahout being
cared for by the mahout's elephant.
The whole family of the mahout be-
come, as it were. parasites to the ele-
plant, by whom they earn their living.
have seen baby placed by it's mother
Systematically under the elephants
care, and within reach of it's trunk,
to get wood or material to cook the fam
lily dinner. No jackal or wolf would be
likely to pick up and carry off baby
who was thus confided to the care of an
elephant, but most people who have
lived a life in the jungle know how very
possible it is for jackal or wolf to
carry off baby when lying in hut
when the mothers back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship of an elephant become
familiar with him and take all kinds of
liberties with him, which the elephant
seems to endure on the principle that it
does not hurt him, while it amuses the
child. You see a little naked black
child, about 2 feet high, standing on
the elephants bare back and taking it
down to the water to battle, shouting
all the time in the most unbecoming
terms of native abusive language.
On arriving at the water the elephant,
ostensibly in obedience to the child's
command, lies down and enjoys him
self, just leavinga part of his body, like
a small island, above water, on which
the small child stands and yells and
yells all the more if he has several COM
panions of his own age, also in charge
of their elephants, all wallowing in the
water around him. If the child slips off
his island, the elephants trunk prompt
" replaces him in safety. The little
urchins, as they grow up, become first
mates to mahouts, and eventually arrive
at the dignity of being mahouts them
selves. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Abel Merrill Came Here-He Died a Few
DAYS Ago in Vermont.

Abel Merrill Came Here-He Died Few
Days Ago in Vermont.
Abel Merrill died at Chelsea, Vermont,
January 10, at the age of 81 years. He
was native of New Hampshire, grad
uate of Dartmouth college and of Har-
ward law school. The writer made his
acquaintance on a boat coming up the
Missouri river the first week in May,
1856. He came to Topeka, then vii
lage of not more than $50 people, and
was one of the original members of the
Topeka Mill company.
He had considerable ready money, as
compared with most of us, at that time,
with portion of which he assisted sew
eral to engage in business. His convic-
tions of right were very strong, and he
was an ardent supporter of the free state
cause. He was not a member of any
church at the time, but liberal supper
ter of all. particularly the Congregation
al. Late in life he married and became
permanent resident of Chelsea, Vi. He
left wife and one daughter.
His last sickness was long and painful,
which he bore with unfaltering trust in
the heavenly father. His memory will
be cherished by many of the early set
tiers of Kansas. H. w. F.
