KiPLING AS A HYPNOTIsT.
He Gains IA Sick Elephant at the Lon
don Zoo.
From the San Francisco Argonautl

From the San Francisco Argonaut.l
An American traveller who spent some
time in the company of Rudyard Kipling
in London lately tells the following story:
zone afternoon We went together to the
Zoo, and while strolling about our ears
were assailed by the most melancholy
sound have ever heard, complaining,
fretting, lamentlng sound proceeding from
the elephant house.
What's the matter in there? asked
Mr. Kipling Of the keeper.
"a sick elephant, sir he cries all the
time; we don't know what TO do with him,
was the answer.
"Mr. Kiplng hurried away from me in
the direction of the lament, which was
growing louder and more painful. fol-
lowed and saw him go up close to the cage
where stood an elephant with sadly dropped
ears and trunk. He was crying actual
tears at the same time that he mourned
his lot most audibly. In another moment
Mr.. Kipling was right up at the bars, and
| heard him speak to the sick beast in a
language that may have been elephantese,
but certainly was not English. Instantly
the whining stopped, the ears were lifted,
the monster turned his sleepy little suffer
| ing eyes upon his visitor and put out his
trunk. Mr. Kipling began to caress it,,
sJill speaking in the same soothing tone,
and in words unintelligible to me at least
After few minutes the beast began to
answer in a much lower tone of voice, evil
| IDENTIFY recounting his woes. The whine
went out of his voice, he forgot that he
was much to be pitied, he began to ex-
change experiences with his friend, and he
was quite unconscious, as was Mr.. Kipling,
of the amused and interested crowd collect
ing about the cage. At last, with start,
Mr.. Kipling found himself and his ele-
plant the observed of all observers, and
beat hasty retreat, leaving behind him a
very different creature from the one he
had found.
doesn't that beat everything you ever
saw calculated a compatrot of mine, as
the elephant trumpeted a loud and cheer
full good-by to the back of his vanishing
visitor and l agreed with him that it did.
"'What language were you talking to
that elephant?' asked when overlook
my friend.
Language? What do you mean?' he
answered with laugh.
care you a Mowgli,' persisted, 'and
can you talk to all these beasts in their own
tongues p but he only smiled in reply"

We may, if we choose, make the most of
one another. Every one has his weak
points; every one has his faults. We may
make the worst of these; we may fix our
attention constantly on these. But we
may also make the best of one another.
We may put ourselves in the place of 9TH
ers, and ask what we should wish to be
done to us, were we in their place. By
loving whatever is lovable in those around
us, love will flow back from them to us,
and life will become a pleasure instead of
a pain; and earth will become like heaven.

The Democrats have five votes in

the political complexion of the lower

pressed that the Democrats would control
the organization and possibly unseat
enough Republicans to insure Germans
election. The Republicans, however, are
now certain of controlling both branch es
of the general assembly, and Republican
will be elected TO succeed German. There

The official vote is in progress in most

confidently claim a majority of five votes

Democrats still keep up claim of victory,
but it is based on the hope that they can
secure members on recount of votes, and
by unseating Republicans in contested

$1,000 for Death OF Alexander Gay.

An interesting suit was entered Monday
of this week at Keene in the supreme
court. 1t is to recover damages from the
Boston & Maine railroad for the death of
Alexander Gay, workman of the Fall
Mountain Paper company, who was killed
on the crossing in North Nalpole while
riding a bicycle with broken chain. 1t
will be remembered that his wheel was
being lowed by another bicycle by long
rope. Neither of the riders saw or heard
the train approaching until just as the first
rider reached the crossing. He turned
quickly and was not injured, but Gays
wheel continued going forward and he
was thrown head first among the machin-
cry and wheels of the locomotive, killing
him instantly. The suit is for $1,000, and
is brought in the name of his brother,
Edward L. Gay, as administrator.

Two skeleton. Uncovered.

In the digging of a ditch yesterday for
laying a new water pipe beside the Con-
gregational church the workmen unearthed
two skeletons at short distance from the
surface and about Is feet distant from
each other. Nothing is known of them
and their appearance would indicate burial
at least 100 years or more ago. AS por-
ton of the land now covered by the village
is understood to have been the haunts of
Indians, and they must have had burial
places, it is more than probable that par
ticular place may have been used for that
purpose. Neither were more than 10 feet
from the east side of the church, and both
had evidently been buried about the same
length of time, in fact entirely disinte-
grated, crumbling to dust, but the forms and
substance easily discernable.

1t is said that the lightest known solid

gravity of OPS, or about one-eighth that of
cork. The sunfower is extensively cult
vailed in Central Russia, and various uses
are served by its different parts the recent
discovery of the lightness of the pith es-
sentially increasing the commercial value
of the plant. For life-saving appliances at
sea cork has a buoyancy of one to five,
while with the sunAower pith one to 80 is

of it to weigh as much as one cubic inch of
iridium, the heaviest metal.

conflicting. The indications are that the

have elected 10 of the judges, and they
concede three to the fusonists. On the
other hand, the fusionists claim to have

to the press, wednesday, at Lincoln, Neb.,
in which he says
"The Republicans everywhere Endorsed
the Republican administration, and in view
OF losses sustained by them in almost every

ties are not being Endorsed at the polls.
The sentiment in favor of the Chicago
platform shows healthy growth through
out the country. Free and unlimited coin
age at IL to is nearer now than it was a
year ago. Taken as whole, the returns
are very encouraging The fight will be

BY the Bars.

The following verses may be read either from
the top or bottom without altering the sense.l
The stars were all alight,
The moon was overhead;
l named er queen of night,
As she my footsteps led.
So wondrous fair was she,
asked her to be mine.
As she glanced up at me
thrilled with love divine.
Beside the meadow bars,
As we stood lingering there,
Her eyes were like the stars,
In radiance wondrous fair.
You're all the world to me, "
She murmuTed. sweet and shy.
A thrill of ecstasy
felt at her reply.
Love led us all the way
As we turned home again;
our hearts were light and gay,
Th- world was blissful hen
Though shadows crossed the sky,
No gloom our hearts could know,
True bliss is ever nigh
When hearts are blended so.

High School Notes.

The November number of the Oracle
was issued Friday and is very creditable
number, containing articles by business
men and alumni.
Because of the severe storm of Tuesday
the solid session signal was given at 1920
o'clock by the fire alarm, and the pupils
enjoyed the freedom of the afternoon.
Miss Marion Candee, former teacher
here, visited the High school yesterday.
She noted particularly the improved facili-
ties given 10 the village by our elegant new
building.
The new building was wired thoroughly
for electric lights and bells when it was
erected, and the lighting fixtures, chande-
liers, etc., have been put into some of the
rooms during the past week.
Algebra was introduced last year into
the 9th grade for the spring term, and this
year it is to be put in both the winter and
spring terms. Previous to last year schOl-
airs did not take algebra until the High
school was reached. Now they can at
once take the advanced books on entering
the High school.
Considerable talk is heard this week
about the building, among those who
went to Claremont with the foot ball team
saturday, JnaJ our ueleaI IueIe was uue
partially to favoritism by the umpire, who
was Claremont man, and other disadvan-
tages, as well as to careless playing as re-
CARDS rules by the Claremont boys.
The lecture by John Temple Graves OF
Atlanta in the regular lecture course next

politics. He has been termed 1.-The
Apostle of the New South" and his lee
lures are broadly patriotic as well as nom
partisan. lie is said to be the most elo-
quent speaker upon the lecture platform
of today.
