Cost of Elephants.

1t is somewhat interesting to compare
the weights carried by elephants in the
tin producing districts of the Malay
peninsula with those used III the long
journeys and mountainous country OF
the Lao states. In the peninsula the
distances are seldom more than at most
three or four days march, and the ele
phant is expected to carry as much as
800 or /, 900 pounds. besides his mahout
and howdah. The latter is often Il mere
brace of painters slung together so as
to rest one on each side of tho backbone
and covered sometimes with light
barrel roof of bark. y good tusker car
rying 81 huHdredweight will fetch
about CSC, and female which can bear
eight hundredweight is worth about
e45.
In the Lao states, where journeys of
ten days or three weeks are frequent
the average weight hardly exceeds 500
pounds, or one third of what is usual in
the peninsula. The prices in various
parts of the country vary considerably.
When we We're on the Me kawng and
III Muang Nan in 1898, a good tusker
could be had for G32 and female for
e24. AT Chieng Mai, where good teak
hauling elephants are i'll great demand,
q tusker may fetch ESQ and female
anything from $50 to 600, according
to her strength and ability.

to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences
go the rounds of the press; are pub
lished as facts; when the intelligent
readers knows they cannot be true,
there is no reason that people become
skeptical. On one subject skepticism
is rapidly disappearing. This is due to
the actual personal experience of our
citizens and their public utterances
regarding them. The doubter must
doubt no more in the face of such ev-

of reputable citizen living right

Generals Shaftcr and Lawton are alike
in combining a keen sense OF humor with
a love of Justice. A few years ago, says
the Washington star, when Sifafter was
colonel of the First infantry, and in CON-
mand of Angel island, Cal, he had in one
of his regiment S companies young bucko
of a corporal who had achieved the repu
tation of a slugger from his entry into the
outfit. The corporal was an out and out
bully, although he was at the same time
n good soldier. 1t was one of his delights
to pick quarrcls with husky looking young
recruits just joining the regiment from
the recruiting stations and TO try them
OUT in regularly arranged pitched prize
fights. He had never been beaten in one
of these affairs up to the time of this
story. Then slender though muscular
young chap, a trifle under the middle size,
came along to the regiment from the re-
cruiting rendezvous at Columbus, o. This
young fellow was quiet enough in his
ways and devoted himself strictly to his
own business. He was rather fond OF phys
