In st. Nicholas +. Fitz Roy Dixon
tells of baby elephant that was cap
tured by friends of his in Ceylon, after
the death of its mother. Mr.. Dixon says:
When Sidney was first brought over,
virtually in order that sho might be
fed, the question naturally arose as to
how she would take her nourishment.
OF course the proper way for an adult
elephant to take i'll water is by means
of the trunk, which is furnished with
two tubes running its sybl9ia length.
But when u bowl OF miin ~as placed
before the baby elephant she did not
know what to do with it. She dipped
the tip of her trunk into it, and the
lockers ON thought that there would be
no difficulty about her drinking at all.
since she recognized the scent of tho
nourishment she had been accustomed
to. But she was quite at loss and set
up roar which seemed quite natural
under the circumstances. Then some
one suggested pouring it down her
throat from n tottle, and this was &C.
cordingly tried, and after one or two in
effeotual attempts she understood.
She was half starved when this was
done, for she had had nothing to cat
since the death of her mother, and her
delight at being fed was most amusing.
The only trouble was that it was diff
cult to satisfy her, and it was feared
that the change of diet would disagree
with her, but fortunately it had no i'll
effect.

The Lumber Industry of Michigan and

1t Is estimated that the output of

short to suit them, but this amount OF
lumber would have built a track reach

ago nothing smaller was wanted than
II inches In diameter. In the forests
the stumps are and 10 feet high, but
these were cut ten years ago, and the
average person is at a loss to know
why men would go to the trouble OF
cutting tree so far above the ground.
When these trees became victims of
the loggers they were surrounded with
snow to depth of from to 10 feet,
and men were obliged to cut them at
the snow level. Now the order runs to
cut them as low as 10 inches and not
higher than Is inches above the ground.
The best portion of the tree, 1t Is
claimed, Is at the butt, but an expert
enced lumber man says that the In
crease of lumber by such close cuts
does not pay half the extra trouble
that loggers encounter while cutting
the tree.
The same conditions exist In Micbi-
gan. The lumber industry at Pere
Marquette is almost ready to expire,
and has already ceased to exist at

Home Ruler was harangulng on En-

Of bayonets, ETC., he concluded: IF

THE WELCOME HOME.

When twilight bells are ringing sweet
And evening echoes greet me,
Ny happy heart seems singing sweet
OF some one who will meet me.
OF blue eyes meath a golden crown;
Dear eyes that watch and wait.
And little footsteps pattering down
The pathway to the gate.
Though sad the toll in barren soil,
Though fortune has not found me,
/ know that night will bring me light
And Irvine two arms around me.
And let the day be gold or gray,
What thought so sweet as this,
1t drifts and dreams my darling's way,
Who keeps for me a kiss.
Oh, love of life, and strength in strife;
Oh, joy to sorrow given,
o, dear child eyes that make life's skies
And earth as sweet as heaven,
still can bear with grief and care,
And face the storms to be,
II love, the comforter, will share,
The crust, the crumbs with me.

And of course all this has served to

ice-cream, cornmeal mush, griddle cakes,

A Nebraska paper some time ago took
up the problem and offered prizes to the

be corn; and still others for the most novel
suggestion that should be at the same
time practical for using stalk, husk or cob.
But Notwithstanding all these measures,
there was no appreciable diminution Of
the store. What was TO be done?
Presently, when the shortening days

sters that you ever saw. want you to
come out and see how nicely I'm fixed.

life is until he's married"

well, should say not"
And SO it happened that the bachelor
went with the benedict and met the
latter's wife and played with his chill
dren and made himself generally useful
and popular until they were all seated
ut the dinner table,
1t was over the coffee and cigars, aft
er the benedict's wife had left the table,
that the benedict finally suggested:
Pretty comfortably fixed, amt I, old
man? Children, why don't You go into
the ether room?''
VERY nicely, indeed answered the
bachelor, replying to the first question
and ignoring the second.

was saying. we didn't know what ease
and contentment was in those days. No

why did you grab the end Of my cigar?

but he wisely changed the subject, just
