opened it and found the two ac-
companying paragraphs marked:
Clarksville has subscribed about
$500 to base ball stock company
fund, and our team will be carried
through the summer. They left
Yesterday for Paris for three games
and will probably 90 to Terrell,
Waxahachie and other points be

After their return they will play
several at-home games with visit

1t is the best and safest plan to nut

really hungry and lose flesh by want Of
nutriment in the food gathered from
the fields. AS soon as frost has taken

the main supply of food should be

THE END.
Measuring nm elephant. Foot.


An interesting question was decided
In the elephant house at the Central
Park Zoo yesterday. Two men were
speaking of the size of the elephants
feet Il wonder how great circum-
ference they have" said the elder Of
the two. Il think they measure Mt
least four feet" replied the other. The
first speaker laughed at this, but the
younger man, after second time
gauging its size. insisted. that his guess
was correct. Nonsense; quite impos-
sible," exclaimed his friend. and then.
as the younger man still claimed that
he was right, they laid a small wager,
and referred the matter to the keeper.
''What is the circumference of the
forefoot of that big elephants" they
asked. '"The circumference of an ele-
plants foot is always just half Of the
animals height" replied the keeper.
Twill you be SO good az to measure
it," asked the amazed visitor, and the
keeper got long cord and went in be-
side the monster, BaZzlc, who stands
eight feet and five inches in height.
''Of course measure while the animal
is standing squarely on all fours," he
said. 'sIf were to take the foot up
from the floor it would MT be quite so
large; small part of tile size is
caused by the Speeding out Of the soft
matter Of the foot by the pressure of
the animals own weight" He drew
the cord around the animals foot. held
it up and measered it With a tape line
The figures showed four feet two inch
es. The man who had lost the bct
paid 1t. with the remark that he did
not think he was paying too dearly for
that curious bit Of knowledge.-Ncw

And so she was. She thought herself
