The theatre-going public of River
Falls will be interested in knowing
that the st. Paul and Minneapolis
public endorsed their sentiments by
applauding Miss Janet Waldorf and
her talented company to the echo
during their engagement there last
week. The Press Of Friday says, "She
was capital Rosalind-young, beauti-
ful and gifted Miss Waldorf's ap-
pearance under stage conditions will
be looked for with impatience this
coming season. The company reaped
their more modest laurels too.
Twelfth Night will show them all in
a new light. 1t is considered by many
the most sparkling Of Shakespeare 5
comedies, and it is hardly worth while
reiterating the fact that those who
miss this performance will lose an op-
portunity probably never again to be
offered to River Falls-Thursday, Au'
rust 18th. at Opera Hall.

English airi.. ar,dlss.

An Englishman in this country ex-
hibits the bride OF his wife's riding
horse with great pleasure. 1t is made
OF the thinnest and necessarily the fin-
est kind Of leather. Anything but the
best would fall to pieces at the first
pull, because 1t is so delicate. THAT is
the kind of bride Englishwomen
ride with" he says. More pains are
taken in England than In America in
the selection Of woman's riding
horse. There the first great requisite
is that the horse must have the temper
of an angel. 1t must be a horse that
can be ridden almost without reins, and
its mouth must be SO tender that 1t viii!

flags along the entire line of trenches.
and though they Afforded the enemy n

as clearly as buoys mark out a race
course. the men wanted the flags there
and felt better ut seeing them there.
and so there they remained. The
trenches formed horseshoe curve
five miles In length. and the entire
line was defiantly decorated with our
flags. When they fiuttered In the
wind at full length and the sun kissed
their colors they made one OF the
most inspiring and beautiful pictures
OF the war. The men would crouch
for hours In the pits. with these flags
rustling above them. and felt well re-
paid for their service: but when they
saw crawling across the valley below
the long white flag of truce their
wntchfulness seemed wasted. their
vigilance became Il farce, and they

Jumping on the pedals only means loss
of power and useless straining OF the

over it at the top. and the downward

TRIALS OF AN ELEPHANT.
Court -A1artl.isd aud whipped for Kui-
Ing His Keeper.

Ing His Keeper.
The court-martialing OF an elephant
isn't such an everyday occurrence as to
pass unnoticed. even In central India.
where the doings OF the Jungle folk
are unusually dark and vain. says the
New York Herald. Consequently the
celebrated trial and punishment OF an
elephant residing in the vicinity OF
Mhow form theme upon which the
native loves to dwell The elephant
had killed his keeper. That fact was
clearly established. A number OF wit
nesses bore testimony to the manner
OF the mans DEATH He had been a ma
tive soldier. He and his charge didn't
seem to hit 1t of very we'll. There
were frequent jars engendered by the
elephants indisposition to yield readily
to the demands and commands OF the
native. These occasional demonstra-
tions OF characterization were invaria-
bly, followed by the introduction OF
sharp spike into the tenderest part OF
the elephants anatomy. After that the
situation was somewhat strained and
when this particular elephant met
other elephants and stopped to pass the
time OF day he complained In trumpet
tones of the unreasonableness OF men
and OF his keeper specifically. Matters
appear to have reached climax when
the keeper one day appropriated por-
ton OF the food supply allotted to the
elephant. This was more than ele-
phant flesh and blood could stand. The
big fellow remarked to himself that
while he might occasionally be in
duced to work overtime at the ardous
labor OF drawing heavy trucks-thus
laying himself liable to expulsion from
the Elephants Labor Union-at least
II could never be said that he so far
forgot his position as to suffer the loss
of a square meal at the hands Of mere
man. And SO 1t came about that Mr..
Keeper suddenly felt the weight OF a
great foot. What followed is not sup
piled by the keeper. for he was by this
time a subject for the obituary writers.
Eye witnesses. however. averred that
the elephant raised him by the trunk
line and thoroughly beat tattoo with
him on the stoniest ground in that
vicinity. The elephant was properly
tried in the presence OF all the ele-
plants belonging to the station. These
had been marshaled In two parallel
lines. In the center stood the prisoner,
his giant feet chained into four holes.
A chain held his neck secure and each
end of the chain was firmly attached
to big elephants. which stood on either
side OF him. The brigade major was
the Judge. He and his stan were
mounted on horses. The facts in the
case were related after the major had
announced to the elephant that he was
on trial. No counsel was assigned to
the prisoner The prosecution had
things all Its own way and the SEN
tence of forty-eight lashes with chain
, was carried out Immediately 1t had
been passed. The corporal elephant
was selected to put the judgment In
execution. He was provided with a
heavy chain, and grasping 1t tightly In
his trunk. he applied the four dozen
strokes so vigorously as to bring forth
most agonizing groans from the prison
er. In addition to the flogging the
! murderer was sentenced to draw log
chain attached to his leg for three
months.
