Elephant Great in Crime.
From Outing.

Few more impressive condolences can be
impaired than one in which Hindoo de-
scribes how he knows his elephant intenis
to destroy him. 1t is all seemingly triv-
ial, and yet in reality of such deadly sig
nificance. His story is so full of details
that prove the mans profound understand
ing of what he is talking about that one re-
mains equally amazed at the brute's power
to dissembe and it's intended victims in
sight into the would-be murderer's charac-
ter. And yet. from the psychological stand
point, an elephant never gives any other
such indication of mental power as is eX-
hibited in it's revenge. That patient, watch
full implacable hatred, often provoked SIM
ply because man is in attendance upon
another animal Qor it is the rule with
tuskers to detest their next neighbors),
speaks more conclusively of a high intel
lectIal guide than all stories true or false,
concentration and fXednesS of purpose,
that have been told of their ability. Such
concentration and fixedness of purpose,
such careful, unrelaxed vigilance, such per-
feet and consistent pretense, and, when the
time comes, such desperate, unhesitating
energy as homicida1 animals exhibit, are
impossible without very considerable al
though in this instance very irregular, de-
velopment.
No one can deny that If this creature is
great at all its greatness shows itself in Its
crimes. These have caused it to be wor-
shipped in the east, where men yenerate
nothing but merciless, irresponsible force,
and where an exhibition of those qualities
and traits described fully accounts for the
formula, MY lord the elephant"

DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE PORTRArT
Just Because She Spent the Summer
in Connecticut.


Il never before so thoroughly realized
what women must put up with when they
go away for the summer solely for the sake
of their children" said the head of a fam
lily to Star reporter yesterday. Now
take the case of my wife, for instance
Early in the summer she took our three
little ones up to a small village in Connec-
ticut to get away from the hot weather
here, and only returned to the city a few
days ago While she was away she often
wrote how dull and stupid it was and how
completely she seemed out of the world
Only the echoes of the war excitement
reached her, she said, but | always thought
she was making it out a bit worse than it
really was until yesterday, when l learned
better. She happened to be with mo in a
downtown business office, where her at
tention was attracted to a picture hanging
on the WALL
Whose face is that: she asked
'Ihere's something strangely familiar about
II, and yet can't seem to quite place It
L supposed she was having mild sort of
1one at my expense. and you can lima gine
my surprise when l found she was really in
earnest.
Whose portrait was it? Why 1t was a
capital steel engraving of a man by the
name of Schley, who made a pretty big hit
down Santiago way some months ago. And
she didn't recognize 1t. Next summer I
shall not insist on her going back to Con-
necticut.'
