HOW TO GET ALONG
WITH AN ELEPHANT.
When You go Circus Can the Animals That
Have Been the Cause of so Much Trouble

bring out all that is best and noblesr
and most intelligent in them
To the man who loves all animal
kind, a new elephant or a new non OF
tiger is a new individuality in Whlcn
certain character and certain gifts are
lying dormant. He knows that these
evidences of intelligence may De
brought out, but that to do this sue
cessfully he must not outrage the am
mails personality, which is just as DEL
mite as that of a human being
Realizing this it is only necessary to
study the mental capacities and char
acteristics of the animal aud then to
decide which method of treatment is
best adapted to that particular beast
After that it is all clear sailing and the
complete education of the animal IS
only a matter of time and patience
The first difficulty that will arise viii
be to persuade the animal to keep his
mind fixed upon the work in hand.
to apply itself seriously to any definite
task, and the trainer must teach it to
attend faithfully TO the lessons that
are given before he can hope to achieve
even partial success.
Elephants have the most tenacious
memories and they learn their tricks
more easily and remember them better
than almost any other animal Not
WithStanding all this there are many
trainers who Will not handle them.

in my career and some of these animals
were bad enough to deserve a place in
history, for there is nothing on earth
or in the waters under the earth that
is worse than q bad elephant. Rajah

More About Milk.

The New England Farmer, the official
organ of the Milk Producers Union, has a
ler gthy article this week regarding the
formation of the new milk company. One
inference that can be drawn from what is
said is that the main purpose of talking
'new company" is to force up prices with
the present contractors. According to this
paper the farmers have already been well
paid for the so invested as advance pay
lnent on stock. An extract from the ar
ticle follows:
1t is unquestionably true that p-opo,i-
ton, were made to the officers of the milk
producers union some time last sp,ing,
looking towards better price OF milk if
one strong syndicate could get hold of the
whole of the business in the city, and i'm
prove upon existing conditions. 1t may be
that this was what put it irto the minds oi
the off ,ers of the milk producers union to
perfect stronger organization than the
old milk producers union. But stronger
organization will certiinly be benefit to
The producers, whoever they may sell their
milk to. No harm can ccm, to the pro.
ducers from it, and no swindle can be al.
legged in getting them into such an oIgani.
cation. Even if the big syndicate prove.
wholly myth-and it has shown no exist
ence ye'- the producers can be 10 bettel
shape to deal with the present contractor,
and to improve upon the good work which
the milk producers union has done il
times past. The new Corporation is cor.
porari,n OF farmers, milk producers. Th,
subscriptions for stock are paid into thl
company treasury, and it is not backed b,
any one except the farmers themselves whit
belong to it.
Even if milk continues to be marketed
in the old way, the organization will b,
worth at least 81 share to every mill
producer. 1t may be that business condi
tions will not warrant an increase of fou
cents per can, but even if this does not ma
terialize, it is no evidence that the farmer
have been swindled.
President Patch of the milk producers
union, a conservative, level-headed man
who is not inclined to 60 off in fit of rasl
radicalism at any new idea which may b.
presented, has been personally present a
many of the meetings Of the producers, ba
explained to them what might be possibl
as result of more ideal conditions in tn
sale OF milk. He has explained that
strong organization of the farmers nigh
help to bring about such a condition bu
he has frankly told the farmers that all o
these things are in the future, and that il
taking stock in the new company the
should be guided by their own best judg
ment.

Even a Minister Suspected.

In Charlestown, N. H., even ministers
are suspected of making money from the
enforcement of the liquor law, and one
clergyman has thought it necessary to
have the following card appear in a
Claremont paper:
81 am informed that it is reported that
l have received some part of the fines col
lected from the liquor dealers in our
town. l wish to state, for the benefit of
my friends, that, until there was change
in the incumbent of the office OF county
solicitor, every case, except one, was
prosecuted by the solicitor at the ex-
pense of the county. l have never re-
ceived a cent of the fines, but have been
at considerable expense, part Of which
has been met by money contribution from
those interested in the work.
