SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES
Kipling Among Friends.

A writer in the San Francisco Argc-
naut tells the following anecdote as
coming from the lips of an American
traveller who spent some time in the
company of Rudyard Kipling in Lon
don lately:
One afternoon we went together to
the Zoo, and while strolling about, our
ears were assailed by the most melan-
choly sound l have ever heard, a COM
planning, fretting, lamenting sound,
proceeding from the elephant house.
Whats the matter in there?" asked
Mr.. Kipling of the keeper.
"a sick elephant sir; he cries all the
time; we don't know what to do with
him was the answer
Mr.. Kipling hurried away from me in
the direction of the lament, which was
growing louder and more pitiful I fol-
lowed, and saw him go up close to ira
cage, where stood an elephant with
sadly dropped ears and trunk. He was
crying actual tears at the same time
that he mourned his lot most audibly.
In another moment Mr.. KiDling was
right up at the bars, and / heard him
speak to. the sick beast in a language
that may have been elephantese, but
certainly was not English Instantly
the whining stopped, the ears were

little suffering eyes upon his visitor and
put out his trunk. Mr.. Kipling began
to caress it, still speaking in the same
soothing tone, and in words unintel-
ligible to me, at least. After a few min
uteS the beast began to answer in a
much lower tone of voice, and evidently
recounted his woes. Possibly elephants,
when enjoying poor health,'f like to
cOnfde their symptoms to sympathiz-
inc listeners as much as do some hui
man inyalids. Certain it was that Mr.
Kipling and that elephant carried on
a conversation, with the result that the
elephant found his spirits much cheered
and improved. The whine went out of
his voice. He forgot that he was much
to be pitied; he began to exchange ex-
periences with his friend, and he was
quite unconscious, as was Mr. Kiplipg
of the amused and interested crowd
collecting about the cage. At last, with
start, Mr.. Kipling found himself and
his elephant the observed Of all OBJ

HE HOLDS WESTINGHOUSE NOTE
It Is For $4,000, But Was Never
Presented For Payment.
(Chica o-O-


Isaac Wyams one of the most
prominent citizens of Salem. Mass.
and at present visiting in Mime
apolis, has in his possession a note
for $4,000 given to his grandfather in
lU6, with the signature of George
| Washington attached thereto. For 122
years the note has been in the Wyman
family, handed down from father to
son. While in Minneapolis Mr.. wy
man makes his home at the Mime
apolis club, and it was there he was
called upon by a reporter Saturday
! night He was very much surprised
when asked if he was the possessor of
such a note
L do not understand who could have
told YOU" he replied. THE fact that
such an instrument is in existence has
been almost a family secret for 100
years and more. 1t has never been
mentioned outside, and until this time
no newspaper man has ever learned
of it. Once 1 heard a political speaker
mention something of such a note, but
he had no idea by whom it was held.
AS my father and grandfather sue
ceeded in evading publicity because of
it, hope l may be able to do so, and
do not therefore, care to say any
thing about it,"
will you not tell me the name of
your grandfather and the date of the
note?"
No: do not even care to tell you
that; 1 would much prefer that moth
ing be said of it, replied Mr. Wyman.
Was the note ever presented for
collection?"
No
And of course it never will be-
Certainly not"
Further than this Mr. Wyman re-
fused to speak except in q general
way. 1t was learned that the note had
been given by General Washington to
Mr.. Wyman's grandfather shortly after
the former was placed in command of
the revolutionary army at Cambridge
in 1776. The continental congress.
which commissioned George Washing
ton as COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
revolutionary forces, had made no
appropriations for the maintenance of
the volunteer army which had gather
ed about Cambridge, and when Wash
ington took command the men We're
practically destitute. They had come
from all parts of the country. bringing
with them only their guns and rations
for a day or so. They were starving
and must be fed, and General Wash
ington undertook to supply them with
food. Mr.. Wyman's grandfather of
fered Washington loan of $40 900 on
his note, and the deal was closed. The
note was signed by Washington as
commander-i n-chief of tile revolution
airy forces. and did not call for pay
ment of any interest. 1t was held by
the elder Wyman until his death, and
was never presented for payment. At
the time of the transaction the Wv
mans lived at Cambridge.
If the note held by Mr.. Wyrnan
could be presented to the United
States government or to any person or
persons and payment received, it would
call for about $1,500,OO0, computing in
terest at per cent compound. 1t is
quite likely. however, that it would
go to protest were it presented

CNew York Evening World)
Mrs. Russell Sage, whose face is so
often seen where the good works of
charity and philanthropy are being
planned or performed evidently forgot
the other day that she was the wife of
a great financier, and in her enthusiasm
for a good cause let out a secret that
made Wall street open it's eyes and
start thinking. 1t was at a meeting of
some of the women managers of the
women's hospital The question of build
ing new and more elaborate structure
on the old site came UP and the argu-
ment was advanced that the noise of
the engines of the adjoining railroads
retarded the Improvement of many
patients. Then it was that Mrs. Sage
showed that she had her husbands
confidence in business matters as in
other things.
My reasons for retaining and re-
building on the present site" said Mrs.
Sage, ''are decided This location is
preferable in every way. We may re-
build here and have no fear of the
noise of the engines, for in the near
future, when they use electric power
to haul the engines out of the city,
there will be no noise to speak of. That

Chairman Chauncey M. Depew of
the board of directors of the Wander
bilt system seemed surprised when he
heard that Mrs. Sage had told Of the

templated, but don't think it will be
perfected in the near future. Mrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gould have
turned their attention to settling upon
plans for a future home.
Mr. Gould was in consultation with
real estate agents several hours each
day last week. He described to them
the manner of homestead he wished to
found.
He wants enough acres adjoining the
home for a deer park, after the mode
of the English homes, and he wants
which means that Mrs. Gould wants,
and he concurs-a large orchard. The
house must be of stone, and susceptible
of many additions and some ornamen-
tation.
According to friend, Mrs. Gould
said last week: 1--WE do not know
where our home will be, but we are
certain what it will be. 1t will be in
the country, preferably in Long Island
or New Jersey. 1t will be a farm, too.

They are all bad When we meet
them, do not ask them to lay down

again, and get them. and probably at

as possible. You can then take their
