OF course it was because Jacob Nuzen-
schmidt had never attended a meeting of the
Hamilton common council that he made the
break that is credited to him. Nearly every
one laughed when he was elected alderman,
but the day after the new councils first
meeting they laughed harder.
Jacob had seat up toward the front. He
was fat and the desks were further apart
there, that's why he was given the position.
At the beginning of the meeting resolu..
ton was offered advocating the paving of
Sibley street.
'Is there anyone to second this?" asked
the president Of the council, for that's the
way they do things in Hamilton.
''Vhat dos dot meaned? Dot seckontng?"
asked Jacob of his neighbor. He was in
formed.
Thereupon he rose to his feet, and, tap
ping his breast three times, he exclaimed:
'tDot ees seckoneded by me, aindt it,"

COST OF ELEPHANTS.
The Animals Are Much Used in thu
Siamcse Malay States
Beasts of Burden.

It is somewhat interesting to COM
pare the weights carried by elephants
in the tin-producing districts Of the
Malay peninsula with those used in
the long Journeys and mountainous
country of the Lao states. In the pen
insula the distances are seldom more
than at most three orfour days march,
and the elephant is expected to carry
as much as 900 or / 900 pounds, besides
>]1is mahout and howda. The latter is
often mere brace of panniers, slung
together so as TO rest one on each side
of the backbone, and covered some
times with a light barrel roof of bark.
A good tusl1er which will carry $50
pounds will fetch about 6 Sc, and fe-
male which can bear 500 pounds is
worth about 6 rs. In the Lao states,
where Journeys Of ten days or three
weeks are frequent, the average
weight hardly exceeds 800 pounds, or
one-third of what is usual in the pen
insula. The prices in various parts of
the country vary considerably. When
we were on the Me Having and in
Muang Nan in 1898, a good tusker could
be had for 6 80 and female for E "a;
at Chieng Mai, where good tusk-haul-
ing elephants are in good demand, a
tusker may fetch s $50. and female
from 6 so to 100, according to her
strength and ability.
In the Siamese Malay states there
are probably 1000 domesticated ele-
plants, all told, and in the Lao coun-
try probably over $500 animals are
working at the present moment. That
these animals breed in captivity in
Siam is due to the fact that large
number of them spend the, greater
part of their time holiday making in
the jungle. When there is no work for
his beast. the mahout takes him out to
a nice, cool. green bit of forest and
leaves him there to enjoy himself
There is no expense connected with
his upkeep, for lie looks after himself
He has hobble of rattan around his
feet to dissuade him from wandering
too far, and wooden bell round his
neck, by the tone of which the mahout
or his little boy can always find him.

him up and give him some bananas

They've scars and bandages in sundry

Their tailors surely never earned their

But we'd know them anywhere as our
new heroes
The men the nation honors-Hip, hooray!

To meet us all again,
The men the nation honors,
The men who conquered Spain;
And when they march down Broadway,
Well tear the sky with cheers

To hang upon the trees with all his men,
But Dewey didn't understand the pro-

1.-THE character of the government

From other sources, however, it is
stated that for time at least there

the matter. The commissioners who

perhaps, be modified by the argu
