ELEPHANT CURIOSITY.
An Animal Which Stands with Its
Feet Embedded In Rocks.


On the Miles Wilbur farm, less than
two miles from Palmyra, Wis, nearly
midway between Bald bluff and the
Curelian spring, on wild, rocky hill
side of the Kettle range of bluffs, may
be found huge rock known far and
near as the "stone elephant" says the
Boston Transcript. ~.~. :"
It is annually visited by large num-
bers of people, some of whom pronounce
it petrifed elephant of monster size,
but the theory most generally believed
is that it was hewed out of the solid
rock in which it seemed imbedded CEN
turtles ago by some prehistoric race.
AS if to substantiate this latter
theory, from time to time many val
liable tools, relics and implements I'M
known to the people of this age have
been found about it's base and in that
Immediate vicinity. The elephant is
about 20 feet long, six or eight feet
high, of a dark gray color and weighs
hundreds of tons. The body only is
above the level Of the ground, its legs
being deeply sunk below, holding it
firmly in a standing position.
A tradition believed by many is that
around this huge stone the Indians
gathered to offer sacrifices to the great
spirit and burn their prisoners at the
stake, or make them the victims of
slow torture known only to the In
dams. It is a long established and gen.
orally believed theory that in this i'm
mediate vicinity and about Bald bluff
and the Big springs were some of their
most famous battle fields and hunting
grounds.

A Curious Appointment

The appointment of ex-King Milan as
general in chief of the Servian armv is
assigned to curious cause. King AL
exander's mother, ex-Queen Natalie, it
seems, set such a pace in dress and
court festivities that the Belgrade hus-
bands could, not stand it. They re-
meo IONS with the king, and, as the.

One Woman and Her Doctor.


wv a wealthy San Francisco woman who
had undergone an operation success
fully performed BY the physician she
employed was surprised when bill Of
only $50 was presented to her. She
REM nstrated, says an exchange, say
ing that the sum was not sufficient for
/ The work done for one in her circnm-
stances. But the doctor persisted that.
$50 was his charge for that sort Of
opera ton, and s. her circumstances had
nothing to do with it. She, however.
sent him a check for $500 and was sur
prised when she later received re-.
feipted bill for SO for tented serv-
Ices rend ered to the poor hum nity Of
the city. This pleased her so much
that she sent anot Their check, which IS

SOLDIERS ~ GEORGIA HOSPITALS

In a letter from Helene Gottschak one OF the
trained sent by the War Relief Association TO
the United States General Hospital at Fort Nc
Pherson. Georgia. she says that that hospital Is
well conducted generally and under generous SUI
pervision that they have nine women nurses be-
sides the many male nurses. and also all the neces-
sares needed for the hundreds OF patients who are
there. She also states that the Daughters OF the
Revolution members OF Atlanta have taken the
greatest interest In the hospital work sending
quantities Of jeies. broths. linens etc. and fur
thermore have promised TO keep them supplied with
whatever they may need She tells OF one OF her
patients. Lieutenant Wood. who was shot through
the front teeth sideways, freak shot. not a flesh
wound visible but the neck was discoored. Among
her patients also were some OF the Santiago he
roes.
