ELEPHANT AND POLICEMAN.
The Former Frightened the Latter Almost
F. =. to Death, -.si Ii. lis

LO Dc4Cus !. r. 5.z-&-@
Almost remarkable incident happened
in the early hours of recent morning
to police constable on duty in the
High Road, Clapton, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette. 1t appears that on Sat.
urday night a travelling circus gave a
performance on Mount Pleasant Fields,
and, as is usual, struck the tent soon
after the close Of the entertainment.
Among the animals was a perform
ing elephant, and this, in the charge Of
a keeper, was dispatched to the next
stopping place. All was quiet as the
pair logged along, but when nearing
Goulton road, High road, Clapton, the
keeper noticed that the elephant would
walk on the pavement, but he little
thought of the trick that it was about
to play. Standing just around the cor
ner of the road was police constable
sheltering from the wind and quite IN
conscious of the approach of the ele-
AS the animal reached the corner he
put his trunk round and just touched
the constable's arm. The latter turned
to see what it was, and on seeing the
elephant was seized with alarm and
took to his heels along the road, closely
pursued by his tormentor. The keeper
tried to call the animal back, but it was
Of no avail, for the retreating figure
Of the constable occupied the sole at
tention of the elephant, who kept up
the pursuit until the officer darted into
garden and closed the iron gates behind
him. The elephant stood at the other
side of the ratings, but made no at
tempt to get at him, and, much to his
relief, on the arrival of the keeper.

DU MAURlER DECEIVED.
How an American interviewer Abused His
Confidence.

How an American Interviewer Abused His
Confidence.
Du Maurier was always especially ap-
preciative of American appreciation
and took particular pains to welcome
Americans cordially, says the New i ork
Times. 1t was seldom that this friend
ly feeling was abused, but the last time
| saw him he was for once in a state Of
rage against an American who had not
only interviewed him but outrageous
ly misrepresented him and his house
hold. The visitor had come with some
letters of introduction, but, fearing tina,
all Interview was in prospect, Mrs. Du
Maurier had seen him and explained
that Mr.. Du Maurier could not receive
visitors for that purpose. The caller
promptly disclaimed being an inter-
viewer and SO disarmed the hostess that
in apology he was taken upstairs in cor
dial welcome. The laird OF ''Trilby,"
still in the land of the living and a
close friend of Du Maurier, had hap
pened in, and the two, perhaps gently
led by the skillful interviewer into the
subject, were soon talking over old
times. in free confidence What was
Dl Maurier's chagrin few weeks at ter
ward to receive a New York paper con-
tanning a highly colored version of this
conversation, with remarks about his
habits and his household, which were
more than a, breach of hospitality. He
wrote at once letter of disclaimer for
publication among his American
friends, and it was with difficulty that
he was persuaded that this would only
advertise the offensive article and give
it wider currency.

A Terrible Punishment.

There is no death penalty in Belgium,
but few criminals would choose the
punishment substituted for it-that is,
if they had choice. The condemned
man is placed in a dungeon so COR
structed that from the moment he en-
tiers it he will never hear the sound of
human voices nor see d human being.
His food is passed in through a sliding
panel in the door of his CELL Not one
prisoner has ever been known to SUI
vive this punishment more than three
years. The authorities have striven in
vain to prolong their lives by varying
their food as much as possible, but
those who are moderately or lightly
nourished gradually waste away, while
those who are fed generously go mad
and die raving maniacs.
