Elephant Nurses In Siam.

The women of Siam trust their chill
dren to the care of elephant nurses,
and it is said the trust is never be-
trayed. The elephant, not being sus-
ceptible to the charms of the saunter-
ing policeman, nor the social claims of
its friends and relatives, is consequent
~ able to devote its entire attention to
its charge. The babies play about the
huge feet of the elephants, who are
very careful never to hurt the little
creatures. And if danger threatens
the sagacious animal curls the child
gently up in it's trunk and swings it up
and out of harms way upon its own
back.-N. Y. Sun.

young fellow they called Potts, who
met us across the track on the Quit

the parties the sheriff was after, and
the captain thinks he knows who threw
us off the SCENT
Manifestly nothing was to be done
but await the captains return, and
nine o'clock came without him. Lam
bert had determined to investigate the
butter market, however, and time was
not hanging heavily upon his hands
by any means. Throwing a light-blue
overcoat, such as was worn by the rank
and file, over his uniform, he sailed
forth just after nine o'clock, and made
his way around the camp until he
reached the road, and followed it to
the gap among the rose-bushes whence
had rolled the tin pail on the previous
night. All was dark and still. Set
ting the pail just within the hedge,
he patiently waited. Presently voices

her recent nerve-racking experiences,
didn't like the detail.

bert saw fit to give a low whistle, at
sound of which Elinor, with prodigious
rustic of skirts, bolted back towards
the house, and her unseen companion,
after emphatic and scornful reference
to "bawn cowuds," came hurriedly for
ward, but paused at discreet distance
"You're theh, all you?" was the semi
assertive, semi-interrogative remark in
disdainful and truculent tone. "Ah
hope you've got that money at last"
For an answer Lambert reached in
and shook the pail. The combination
of "shinplasters" and small coin within
gave a reassuring rattle. Eagerly the
girl bounded to the hedge. He could
just discern the slender little form and
the tumbled head of hair as she dropped
the EMBEDDING shawl and stopped to take
the prize-which the unprincipled young
man had by this time cautiously with
drawn. He could hear her eager breath.

A SONG OF LABOR.

In days Of old the saber
Cave honor to the hand, -.
And those that did not labor Z
Were princes in the land:
To-day has crowned with glory
The brow believed by toll;
The theme of song and story
Has risen from the soil.
No more are felt the shackles
That once held man a slave;
The furnace fire that crackles
Has melted sword and glave.
O freemen all, ard brothers.!
Find JOY in what you do;
The happiness Of others
Is laid in trust on you!
o worker! see the beauty
You're building to the skies;
Along the path of duty "
You're nearing Paradise!
The flowers of art that blossom
In column. spire and dome
Shall lie in Labor's bosom
And beautify her home.
And Peace shall come, and wonder
Shall fill the world anew
Eternal arms be under
To watt you dangers through.
The sun will shine still brighter,
The stars will sing and shine.
The burden will be lighter,
For labor is divine.
