Texas UninstIy Tpeated.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
Texas always seemed to me to have
achieved a reputation for containing a vio-
lent and bloodthirsty population which was
ili-deserved," said a western man who
travels much in the state the other day
II go to Texas five or six times a year
and have traVersed the state from end to
end twenty times in the last fifteen years,
and l want to say to you that the popula-
and courteous as any in this country.
There Is an amount of sympathy and kind
ness displayed down there that has scarce
ly a counterpart in the Union. AS a sam
pie / will tell you of a little incident
witnessed in Galveston not long since: A
motorman on an electric stopped his
car to avoid running over a couple of pud-
die ducks and when the ducks failed to
move off the track he got down, walked
around in front and 'shooed them off. No
car in Texas without being assisted by the
conductor. 1t was in a Texas town, too,
that | saw a small negro boy on a street
car who wanted to get off but forgot
where he lived: All he could tell was that
his home was close to grocery store. The
conductor stopped at the first corner gro
Gerry and put him off, but the child looked
around and said that wasn't the place.
Whereupon he was taken aboard again.
This was repeated three times before the
juvenile daEky recognized his corner I
outside of Texas; the electric car was the
new south, but the humane and patient
conductor and the helpless little negro
were the olds south"

singular experience of a somewhat similar
sort When "out in the district in Burma
he grew tired of riding on his elephant,
gage and bought pony in one of the vii
the pony was not afraid of elephants, but
it never occurred to him that the elephant
might be afraid of ponies.
Early the next morning he sent his bag
gage and servants off on the elephant with
orders to halt for lunch at a village ten
miles away. and when he had finished some
work he followed on his pony. When a
mile or so from the halting place he saw
the elephant launching along in advance,
and trotted on to hurry up the mahout. AS
he approached, the mahout, Burman. be-
gan to gesticulate. The Englishman and
his Bengal servants knew no Burmese, and
the Burman knew no tongue but his own.
He was much excited.
The Englishman guessed that something
was amiss and, breaking into a gallop to
see what it might be, was astonished to
see the elephant start off at a run. Three
times the excited and angry mahout sue
ceeded in stopping the beast after a run of
a mile or SO, and three times did the Eng
lishman ride UP to see what was the mat
ter. only to observe with establishment that
the elephant rushed off each time.
Finally the despairing mahout steered the
animal Off the road into swampy ground
and thus, shaking off pursuit, plowed his
way back on foot to the hating place
where he found an interpreter to explain
that the elephant had been terrified by the
approach of the ponN

that of the herse,1the intelligence of the ele-
