How Elephants Cross a River

1t is great sight to see line of ele-
plants crossing a river with steep
banks. They go down slowly, striking
the ground with their trunks before
each step, and never making slip or
miss, although you feel every minute as
if they were going to take header into
the water. Then they wade or swim,
as the case may be, land they swim
beautifully, not hesitating to cross half
a mile of deep water if it need be.

barrel which may roll round at any
moment and take you under.
Having crossed the stream, they must
climb to the top of the bank, and this
is the most peculiar operation of all

they give lurch sideways, and shoot
one leg straight over the bank, then
give lurch to the other side and shoot
out the other leg in the same way,
which brings them into the position OF

October.

Ay, thou art welcome, heavens delicious
breath
When woods begin to wear the crimson leaf
And suns grow meek, and the meek suns
grow brief,
And the year smiles as it draws near Its death.

In the gay woods and in the golden air,
Like to good old age released from care,
Journeying, in long serenity, away
In such bright, late quiet, would thatI
Might wear out life like thee, mid bowers

DAnd, dearer yet, the sunshine Of kind looks
And music Of kind voices ever nigh;
And when my last sand twinkled in the glass,
Pass silently from men, as thou dost pass.

September.

THE fields and meadows paling
Lie meath the hazy sky;
The thistle.down Is sailing
BY zephyrs slowly by.
The stalks OF stubble bleaching
Beneath september's sun,
Seem silently now teaching
OF rest when labOr's DONE"
The golden rod is yellow.
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling In the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges fiaunt their harvest,
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
From dewey lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roadsides fiutter
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens,
September days are here,
With summers best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.

Still More Counterfei,ing.

The Secret service has unearthed another
band of counterfeiters and secured large
quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly
executed that the average person would
never suspect them of being spurious.
Things OF great value are always selected by
couDterfeiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, which
has many imitators but m equals for indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervous
ness and general debility. The Btters set
things right in the stomach, and when the
stomach is In good order II makes good
blood and plenty of IL. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength aud vital
ity, and restore vigor to the weak and de-
biliafed. Beware of cOunterfeits when
buying.

MICHAEL DAVITT RESIGNS.
Could Not COuntenance EngIand's
War on the TransvaaI


War on the TransvaaI
London, Oct. 25-MichaeI Davitt, the
Irish Nationalist member for South Mayo,
announced in the House of Commons TO-
day that ne would resign tomorrow as a
protest against the Boer war.
Mr.. Davitt denounced the lingo press
and said that the war for the meanest
and most mercenary aims, would be known
as the greatest crime of the century He
declared that if he had been offered home
rule and an Irish republic he would not
have accepted them if accompanied by the
condition that he vote for the war As
protest he would ask to be relieved from
attendance in the House. He had been in
the House for five years trying to obtain
justice for Ireland and he left it convnc-
ed that no cause of justice and right
would have the support of the House un-
less backed by force''a
Mr.. DaVitts resignation was something
of a coup de theatre, as the Pail Mall Ca
zette says that some time ago he told his
intimate friends that he would take the
first opportunity from retiring from Par
lament.
1t is understood that Mr. Davitt viii re-
turn to Ireland and devote himself to lit
erary and journalistic work.
