The Intelligent Elephant.

(From Outing
Few mere impressive condolences can be
impaired than one in which Hindoo de-
scribes how he knows his elephant intends
to destroy him. 1t is all so seemingly
trivial, and yet in reality of such deadly
significance. His story is so full of details
that prove the mans profound under
standing of what he is talking about that
one remains equally amazed at the brute's
power to dissemble and its intended VIC
TINS insight into the would-be murderer's
character. And yet from the psychological
standpoint, an elephant never gives any
other such indication of mental power as
is exhibited in its revenge. That patient,
watchful. implacablel hatred. often pro-
voked simply because. u man is in attend
ance upon another animal (for it Is the
rule with tuskers tor detest their next
neghbors) speaks moro conclusively of n
high Intellectual guide than all stories.
true or false, that have been told of their
ability. Such concentration and fixedness
of purpose, such careful, unrelaxed vigil
lance, such perfect and consistent pre-
tence. and. when theEtinie comes, such des-
perate, unhesitating energy as homicidal
animals exhibit, are.fmpossible without a
very irregular development.
No one can deny that If this creature is
great at all its greatness shows itself in
its crimes. These have caused it to be
worshiped in the East, where men vener-
ate nothing but merciless irresponsible
force and where an exhibition OF those
qualities and traits described fully ac-
counts for the formula, "My lord the eie-
plant"

The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs Of
the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities in the blood-that Is their work.
Purifying your blood Is not a question
of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your bow
els?
What the bowel-cleaner does Is to throw
out the poisons confined In your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood but
the poisons which are already in your
blood, causing your present sickness, it
leaves there.
There Is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means Of your kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kidneys.
When you are sick. then, no matter what
you think the name of your disease Is. the
first thing you should do is to afford aid
to your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root. the great Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural
help to nature, for Swamp Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid
neys that Is known to medical science.
DR.. Kiimer. the eminent physician and
specialist, has attained a farfamed repu-
tation through the discovery and marvellous
success of Swamp-Root in purifying the
