Mrs. Phoeba Thomas of Junction City,
ILL.,, was told by her doctors she had
consumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles of DR.. Kings
New Discovery completely cured her
and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida street, San
Francisco, suffered from a dreadful
cold, approaching consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. 1t is such re
suits, OF which these are sam pies, that
prove the wonderful efficacy OF this med
icine in coughs and colds. Free trial

Without Any Regard for Rules of the

Two elephants of 4 consignment OF
seven, which arrived here on the Ham
burg american liner Persia fought at
sea on the night of Nov. q, and but for
their keepers might have killed each
other, says the New York Herald. The
elephants left Hamburg on Nov. 1S,9in
charge of William Newman, known
in the show business as elephant
Bill" and another keeper.
Pilot, who has tusks, and Albert. who
has no tusks, were the only males Of
the lot. They are nearly twelve years
old and about five and q half feet high.
They We're placed in opposite corners
Of box stall On the fourth night,
during the rolling of t e ship, Pilot
and Albert succeeded in breaking their
chains. and they went 4 each other
with such force that Nor'man thought
their skulls would surely be fractured.
The brutes attempted to rise On their
hind legs and paw each other. Then
they lashcd each other feroci0usly with
their trunks. They would back off and
butt each other with such force that
the shock stunned them for a moment.
Pilot made several efforts to puncture
Albert with his tusks. but was not sue
cessful. Meanwhile the other five ele-
plants were grunting and trumpeting
so that the noise could be heard all
over the ship. Newman and his as
sistant belabOred the brutes with clubs
but the clubs didn't seem to have the
slightest effect on the craniums of the
elephants. Two pitchforks were pro-
cured. About half a dozen good digs"
with the forks took all the fight out

"ROmulus knew me well, for l have

lion is quite quiet Yes [ replied,
but Romulus does not know you
After all, I opened the door, and
Eysette came in. Romulus raised his

he rose slowly and as slowly approached

suddenly rushed upon him.
"He seized him by the throat and
