Story of an Elephant.

An elephant belonging to a circus,
ordinarily good natured, suddenly be-
came vicious The keeper knew the ele-
phant so we'll that he said at once that
he was sick; something was the matter
with him. He sat safe distance and
watched him. The elephant trumpeted
loudly and acted as though he were an
CRY, but no one could decide what was
the cause of the change in this good
elephants disposition. This continued
for three days At the end of that time
one of the men said: why, when Jack
(that was the elephants name) lies
down, he keeps rubbing one side of his
head. think he has got the toothache, "
and everybody Immediately said, eyes,
that S what's the matter. -
A dentist was called in to the rescue,
and the elephant chained safely to posts
and iron rings so that he could not
raove. The dentist looked in his'mouth
and saw that one tooth was badly de
cayed He touched it, and the elephant
trumpeted as though i'll great pain. Then
the dentist went to work and filled the
tooth. After time the elephant seem
ed to understand that the dentist was
trying to do something for his pain, and
he gave every evidence of appreciating
the attention. Some weeks later the
dentist visited the winter quarters Of
the elephant, and the elephant recog
nized him. Exchange.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Abuse of the Visiting Card In the Straw
berry Season = Minced Spinach.
Marmalade Jar Holders.

When making social calls, it stands
to reason that some form of announce
ment is necessary. For just such pur-
poses the visiting card was invented. 1t
was simple device and easy to under
stand, but the simplicity of it became
irritating to certain arbiters of eti-
quette, and complications were intro
duced. Concerning these complications,
The Ladies' Home Journal says: In
stead of the visiting card remaining an
announcement, as was intended, it was
changed to serve as a memorandum.
Hence things have been carried to such
point that now when married wom-
an starts out to pay calls she is required
to carry veritable package of cards,
and she is expected to leave not only
her own, but two of her husband cards,
at each house at which she calls. This
does not imply at all that the husband
accompanies the wife. In fact, host
ess, receiving the card of woman
friend and two of her husbands cards,
would be amazed to go down stairs and
find the husband. What then does the
husbands card imply? Absolutely moth
ing. That is the simple fact. The crea-
tors of this piece of etiquette explain
that whenever a wife makes use of her
name socially in any relation she should
include the name of her husband, but
IN what respect she fails to do this
when she sends up her own card of
''Mrs. Robert Schermerhorn" is not ex-
planned
The custom is foolish and unneces-
sary, and no sensible reason for its ex-
istence has ever been given or can be
advanced. Visiting cards should re-
main to serve their original and wise
purpose--telling hostess that the own
er of the card handed in is waiting to
see her or has called upon her. But to
accompany her card with two cards of
man who is at his Office is a custom
foolish upon the face of it. 1t is prac
tice which sensible people are impatient
with, and rightly so. 1t would certain
ly never enter mans mind to send
two OF his wife's cards with his own
when making call, and until better
reason is given why woman should
hand in her husbands cards when he is
not calling with her the custom should
cease. 1t is not etiquette; it is nonsense.

Tan's Lesson, O Story For Little Folks.
Story of an Elephant-A
Proud Bulldog.

.'Now, I'll have some fun," cried
Tan. Looking round first to see that he
was alone, he jumped up on the table,
and seizing pair Of gloves in his
mouth carried them to his basket in the
corner. He was just going to begin to
worry them, for he was only puppy,
when low and threatening growl
came from under the sofa.
"Hello, " said Tan. "I didn't know
that you were there. What do you
mean?'
~ mean that you must leave those
gloves alone, y replied Rover in deep,
musical voice. "They are not yours. .
II know they are not mine, :" retort-
ed Tan. "They are Miss Hilda's. She
slapped me this morning, SO 1 shall
spoil them if like. "
"Children must be taught how to be-
have, I" said Rover, and, coming out
from under the sofa, he took Tan gently
by the back Of the neck and dropped
him outside the window, which was
near the ground.
Hilda was sitting in the garden, read

up the gloves and, jumping through the
window, put them in her lap.
"Oh, botherl Do go away, Rover, :"
said the little girl, who did not wish to
be disturbed just then.
Rover took up the gloves again and,
dropping them ON the grass, lay down
beside them until Hilda was ready.
Tan came frisking up. 81 should
think you might let me have them
now" he said "She deserves to be
paid out for snubbing you. y
Don't be so impatient, child, = said
Rover, with his most grown up air.
"She will be sorry presently, and then
she will thank me for taking care of
them.
In short time Hilda threw down
her book and stretched lazily.
"Oh, there you are, Tan Come and
have romp," she said.
Tan's i'll temper never lasted long,
and after a good romp with his little
mistress he began to be glad be had not
eaten up her gloves.
Presently she saw Rover.
"You good old dogp she cried.
"You have been taking care of my
gloves all this time.
Rover got up, wagging his tail grave
ly, and Hilda hugged him. Now, "
she said, II must put them away, for I
shall got into trouble if I lose them. y

In the Strawberry Season.

Somewhat different from the ordinary
procedure i'll canning Strawberries is a
method advised by Miss Juliette Corson.
At the beginning of the strawberry sea-
son make 2 or quarts of white lump
sugar into a thick sirup by dissolving
it in hot water, 2 large coffee cups full
to quart. Boil and skim this and pus
it into jug or bottles for future use.
Put your ripe, fresh strawberries into
glass cans and fill up with cold sirup
nearly to the brim, as the strawberries
shrink somewhat Place i'll a kettle of
cold water, putting the lids on the tops
of the cans first, but not screwing them
down. Let them come to boil slowly;
boil for five minutes; then screw down
the covers tightly and set away i'll a
dark, cool place.

Levied ON for Back Taxes.

For several years there has been an ae-
cumulation of taxes piling up against the
Harney Peak Tin Mining, Milling and
Manufacturing Company, until the large
sum of slO7O0 has accrued for the personal
tax. A levy has been made on the property
by the treasurer of Pennington County.
The property consists of all the machinery,
hotel and Office fixtures, horses and wagons
and all of the hay and grain harvested
from the ranches. The stockholders claim
that the law under which the tax levy and
assesNments have been made was repealed
at the last term of the legislature. and they
will attempt to get out of paying the back
taxes if possible. The first step taken in
this direction is a restraining order from
the United States court enJoinlng the
treasurer from making the sale of the
property at present 1t is question of
considerable importance. for there are
other mining properties which are loaded
with back taxes waiting the result of the
