Bob Abbott is authority for the fol-
lowing story, which shows to what Ok
pedients the average farmer will resort
in the desire to crafty the wishes Of
"thet ar young un." Bob was waiting
on some customers when an individual
from Posey county drove up in a am
shackle farm wagon. He entered the
store and "moseyed" up and down the
line of wheels, turning a pedal here and
pinching a tire there in just the same
fashion that city folks test a wheel.
When Bob had disposed Of his custom
ers, the countryman approached him,
and after a long line of questioning re-
garding the various makes he said:
"Waal, I 'laow as haow I kinder'd like
t. git a bisickel fer thet ar young un. He
made one hisself and beat purity neer
every other kid in our parts. Guess he'll
make a racer yet. Tell ye what I'll dew,
mister. I'll trade ye sum dern fine
shade trees fer one Nv yer best bisick-
els" 81.
"But what shall I do with shade
trees?'' asked Bob.
"Waal I suppose ye cud plant EN-
araound' yer house, like ez not" an
swered the farmer.
Bob couldn't see his way clear on such
a proposition, and another opportunity
for the sale of q wheel and the encour-
agement Of an embryonic Zimmerman
was ost.-Chicago Times-Herald.

to the American soil In no other country
can the Ingenuity Of the progressive bust-

growth OF the National Capital City since
the regime OF Gov Shepherd has developed
a number OF leading men that figure promi-
nently in the social and financial daily
dOings OF Washington. The navigation and
commerce OF the Potomac river has con-
tributed its share TO the personnel or rep
resentative business men and none more
so than Capt. f ). Randall, the proprietor
Of the Potomac River Line OF transportation

remarkable growth OF this beautiful and
extensive pleasure resort is illustrative
OF what a welI-defined policy OF good man
ageInent aud purpose will accomplish when
it receives the cordial support OF the
masses. The leading labor organizations

THINGS ELEPHANTS LIKE.
They Would Rather Have an Orang,
Than q Rag of Peanuts

They Would Rather Have an Orange
Than a Bag of Peanuts.
If there is anything in the world that
an elephant loves better than a peanut
1t is an orange, the New York Recorder
says, and If any boy who reads this
wishes, when he goes to the circus, to
give the massive creature an especial
treat. instead of paying cents for bag
of peanuts TO put in the elephants trunk,
let him purchase for the same money one
good-sized orange and present that to the
small-eyed, flat-eared monster.
A number of years ago, IN book which
was called Leaves from the Life of a
Special Correspondent" Mr.. O'Shea, the
author of the book, gave the following de-
scription of an adventure he had with a
herd of elephants. He said: "A young
friend asked him once to show him some
elephants, and 1 took him along with me,
having first borrowed an apron filled with
oranges This he was to carry while accom-
panying me in the stable, ,>Sut the moment
we reached the door the herd set up such
a trumpeting-they had scented the fruit
that he dropped the apron ard its contents
and scuttled off like q scared rabbit.
There were eight elephants, ard when
I picked up the oranges l found l had
twenty-five.
II walked deliberately along the line,
giving one to each. When L got to the
extremity of the narrow stable l turred
and was about TO begin the distribution
again, when / suddenly reflected that If
elephant No in the row saw ME give
two oranges in succession to No. s he
might imagine he was being cheated and
give me a smack with his trunk-that is
where the elephant falls short of the
human beiny-so | went TO the door and
began at the beginning, as before.
Thrice | went along the line, and then
1 was IN a fix. had ore orange left, and
Ihad to go back 10 the door.
Every elephant in the herd had his
greedy gaze focused on that orange.
1T was as much as my life was worth
to give il to any of them. What was l
to do? l held IL up conspicuously, cooliy
peeled it, and ate it myself
"It was most amusing to notice the way
those elephants nudged each other and
shook their pondrous sides. They thor
oughly entered into the humor OF the
thing"

AS WE GROW OLDER.
The Women in Both Cases Hid
Smile.

Smile.
He was ha rely twenty-one. His mustache
was merely delicate hint-he had been to
two French balls, had bowling acquatnt-
ance with three third-rate actresses-and
no one could ever tell him anything he didn't
know, says Life.
He admired a woman whose age was
stationary %, whose hair was adjustable
and whose tense was past.
He passed his hand wearily over his
wrinkleIess brow and paid his court in the
following uuimpassioned terms:
MY child, have only the remains OF
wastedlife to offer you. l am tired ofevery-
thing Everything bores me-. Society has
been my ruin! But If you like 10 take pity
on a mau who has drunk the cup OF pleas
IRE to its bitter dregs and frittered away
a noble career / am willing to devote the
poor remnant Of my life TO you entirely"
And the woman shook her head and
turned aside 10 hide smile, saying to her
self: "Why, he is even younger than L
thoughu''
Twenty years later he was naturally
forty-oue BE now preferred the circus to
French balls, watched baseball games in
stead of playing poker and was pretty
nearly convinced that there were great
many things which he didn't know and
would probably die in ignorance OF.
He admired a woman whose age was
temporary twenty-five, whose bright hair
was indigenous and whose tense was de-
cidedly future.
BY this time he had dabbled in obesity
cures, developed lead-colored pouches under
the eyes and his hair was gray and scanty.
His joints cracked loudly as he stretched
forth his hands aud paid court to his
divinity in the folio wing impassioned tones:
Il am a young man with all my life be-
fore me! Although no saint-I have a
clear record l feel that l am called to
glorious possibilities CoIsse to my arms
aud with me walk down the long vistas
OF the future,'
And this young woman also shook her
head aud turned away to hide smile, say
ing To herself:
