EleDlauts Hate Came1a.

Elephants have the bitterest enmity
to camels. When the camel scents the
elephant, it stops still. trembles in all
its limbs and utters an interrupted cry
of terror and alright. No persuasion,
no blows, can induce it to RISE It
moves its head backward and forward,
and it's whole frame is shaken with
mortal anguish. The elephant, on the
contrary, as soon as he perceives the
camel, elevates his trunk, stamps with
his feet, and with his trunk thrown
backward, snorting with a noise like
the sound of trumpet, he rushes to-
ward the camel, which with it's neck out
stretched and utterly defenseless awaits
with the most patient resignation the
approach Of its enemy. The elephant,
with its enormous shapeless limbs,
tranples on the unfortunate animal in
such manner that in a few minutes it
is scattered around in small fragments.

felicitous. -

Among the many stories Of Hamlin,s

tilt with John Holmes. interesting, be-

that stuck to Hamlin through life.
Holmes had been in the United States
senate, and at this particular time
writes General Halnlin. member of
the state house Ct representa- tives, was
endeavoring to domineer over it.
Hamlin disputed the leadership with
him, and Holmes attempted to crush
his young opponent by coarse1y ridicul-
ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly
Hamlin jumped to his feet and, point
ing his finger at Holmes. retorted: eff

he to say about himself? l take my

Hamlin then continued, pointing his
finger at Holmes: IT will also tell the

conspicuous for trying to run dryshod
over young men than for trying to en-.
courage them. But as long as they are
true to themselves and to nature and as
long as the member from Alfred sticks
to the brandy bottle they need not fear
him." AS soon as the cheers of the

Holmes retracted his words and made

THE CLIMATE OF CHICAGO.
How Could the Poor Frenchman Tell
.~ ~ What 1t Could Dos .sE.ss

.~., "hat 1T Could DO? H. .-.,..z w..
While in Chicago NJ. de Monvel, the
French artist, heard one story that puz-
zled him. It was told at dinner party,
and he smiled just as if he understood
it. That night he thought it over, but
the more he thought the less he COM
pretended it. Finally a fellow artist
who had heard the story repeated it,
drew pictures of it, and then a light
broke on M. de Monvel, and he laughed.
'Ah, we Frenchmen are stupid when
compared with the Americans he ex-
claimed. 81 shall tell that story, and it
will make Paris laugh.''
The little tale was about a French
carpenter who bought a saw from a
Chicago manufacturer who made a
speciality Of advertising. Engraved on
the tool was the assurance that ''day in
and day out this saw will wear longer
than any other on the market" The
Frenchman read the advertisement,
and the day he bought the saw he put
it carefully away. The next day he
used it and left it out of doors in the
pouring rain. A neighbor demonstrated
with him for his carelessness, and he
picked up the saw, pointed to it's in
scription and exclaimed:
'Does not lie scie-no I mean re saw
