Why then did he kill the second keep
err? Because this man. after his Sunday
dinner declared he would pay out the
elephant for striking him with his
trunk. He actually took a, lance, one of
those taken from the Arabs in the Sou
dan. (Those who have seen the tro-
phies taken from the Mahdfs followers,
will realize what a horrible weapon this
was.) Followed by another keeper also
armed with a lance, he proceeded to
prod, ii. e., pierce the chained ele-
plant. The tortured creature backing
as far as it could "at length rushed
forward to escape the lance, broke its
chains, threw down the keeper and
'trampled on him." If the elephant had
beeen man, and had been put on his
trial afterward, would it be too much
to anticipate that the verdict would
have been one of justifiable homicide?

HOW THE DOCTOR GOT THERE.

| The, other day a country physician re-
ceived call to go from his place into
lumber camp in the far Brassua reg
ion and it such call as doctor cannot
we'll refuse So he went to Weet Cove
on Moosehead with big coat and wear
ing Ieggins and shoe packs, as the low
moccasins are called.
A iumberman wasthere and this man
had made arrangements to carry the
doctor up as far as West Outlet on a
handcar on the Canadian Pacific Road.
They had to stop once and unload the
handcar on to their back in gully so
that freight train could go past
Above West Outlet certain portion
of the lake surface wac free Of snow and
the dctor and the woodsman guide

There were numerous wrinkles huge
bulging riffs in the ice where the NOV
ing of the mighty surface had met and
made ruin. When they came to one of
these wrinkles the woodsman went
ahead and prodded and poked until he
found a place where they could cross
1t is possible than more men have
been drowned in the waters of the
Moosehead by carelessnees in crossing
wrinkles than by any other cause.
BY the time they got to the mouth of

own to his sturdy companion that he
was fair tuckered The man had a

it there when he had come out after
the doctor He piled the medicine man
on with his case, wrapped him in blan-
kets and set away along the tote road.
There was no team out, for there was
much uncertainty as to when the doctor
would be able to get along.
When he could he walked. The rest
bf the time he rode. The tough little
man of the woods seemed in no wise
wearled. He told the doctor that it was
easy enough to make those kind of trips
when one was toughened to it.
In the camp was one of the bosses
who had been caught in a snub line
and who had had most of the flesh on
the calf of his leg rasped off by the
cruel cable.
The doctor did what he could for the
sufferer. Before he finished his labors
there a messenger came from a camp
ten miles above. They had learned that
q physician was in the section and they
wanted him. Ten men We're down with
grip and colds and two had pneumonia.
So the doctor went up to that camp
There was nothing else to do. He says
that if he had refused he guessee they
would have loaded him on a sled willy
nilly and would have taken him along.
He came out after six days in the

EFFECTS OF EARLY TRAINING,

Not long ago the warden of a peni-
tertiary who had had long experience
with criminals and had carefully studi-
ed the statistics Of his institution, startl-
ed some of his fellow wardene by de-
claring that neither ignorance nor in
temperance was prime factor in the
development of crime, but that the
great majority of criminals had suffer
ed from bad home training or a neglect
of training. Men have become so ac-
customed to the idea that education is
the panacea for all evils and that intem-
perance leads to crime that they are
slow to accept now ideas on the subject:
yet If we may judge from the carefully
compiled records of penal institutions
had fair degree of education and have
been fairly temperate in their habits as
to drink Many of them have been de-
serted or neglected by their parents and
have grown up without moral training
of any kind. They have been forced to
live by their wits, and have not been
restrained in their methods by any
moral sense. Many others who have
reached the same end have had the op-
posite kind of training. They have been
petted. INDUCED, brought up in idleness.

lowed too much license in their youth
and then, by some turn in the wheel of

by ones peers, is looked upon as
highly priced prerogatve of inestima-
BILE value. Does not the very fact,
therefore, that we Fnglishmen here
should ask. for no representation in the
jury box, and be perfectly satisfied to
rely upon the spirit of Justice and equi-
ty of our American fellow citizens, con-
stitute a token of confidence, and
tribute to their sense of honor, rather
than any disposition on our part to
shirk civic obligations?
|, 1t is easy to understand that when an
I emigrant from Continental Europe
lands in America he should become pos
itively intoxicated by the new dedged
sense of freedom and absence from re-
stricton which he for the first time ex-
periences, and should lose no time in
forswearing all allegiance to the land
that he has left behind him.
With Englishmen it is different. AS I
save stated above, our institutions are
almost identical with those of the Uni
ted States. True, the American eXecu-
tive is a president, whereas, the head of
our government is a queen. But it may
be questioned whether the former does
not possess a greater degree of person
al authority, whether the sway that he
administers is not more imperial in it's
character, than that of our queen.
Save for the fact that our executive is
hereditary, and that of the United
States electoral I can see no difference.
Things here are, in one word, so very
much like those in England, that we

| elected and the spoiled, form con-
siderable portion of the population of
every penal institution and their pa
rents are in large degree responsible for
their degradation. The neglected waif
becomes the victim of chance associa-
| tons, but the spoiled child whose NOR
al training is neglected while his ply
steal wants are cared for is the more
obvious subject of parental abuse. The
youth does not want to study or to
work: he is INDUCED in his Whims I'M
til he becomes to old to attend school
or to learn a trade, and then he finds
difficulty in obtaining congenial en-
ployment Unless a man has some spec
ial knowledge or training his possible
services to an employer are of little vail
lie. The young man who has sought
genteel employments with short hours,
finds, when he has, reached maturity,
poor market for his services. Nor is he
fitted by moral training to accept the
lessons of experience. He is much more
disposed to rebel and to make war upon
the society that repels his advances.
Some form of sport or gambling offers
him, or seems to offer him, better re-
turn than can be obtained from honest
work. He drifts into the semi-idle class,
and if thrown entirely upon his own re-
sources ends by becoming criminal.
The gensis is plain In so many cases
that it is worth while to consider bad
home training as one of the most potent
forces in the development Of the crimi-
nal class Sometimes the parent errS

lection and sympathy with the lazy or

from the idea that their children may

should not shut their eyes to the fact
that many criminals have been develop

ENGLIsHMEN IN AMERICA.

Why They Do Not Become Naturalized
The majority of Americans in Eng
land are perfectly satisfied to be gov
erned by English laws, and by English
authorities without any wish to inter
fere in their administration. 1t Is the
same with the English here in the Uni
ted States. If we do not seek naturali-
cation, if we remain true to the old flag,
it is because we feel that we can do so
without giving offence to our American
friends, and, above all, without any
conflict with the obligations which are
imposed upon us by the hospitality
which we enjoy here. We are not treat
ed like Outlanders, but with the same
degreeof cordiality and friendship that
Americans invariably meet with in Eng
land
There is so much sympathy between
our two countries, SO great an analogy
between their institutions, the system
of law and justice being almost ident-
cal, that 1t is possible for us English
men in America to remain loyal to our
queen, and to fulfil our duties of-Well,
let me call it--honorary citizens of the
United States, at one and the same
time. If we do not apply for natural-
cation, it is gecause we do net want the
franchise, it is because we do not expe-
rience the necessity of having any voice
In the government. The English In the
Transvaal only asked to be allowed to
participate in the administration of the
republic by means Of parliamentary
vote, because they considered that they
We're badly governed, and We're conse-
quently dissa tisfied both with their own
condition and with the authorities to
whose rule they were subject. We Eng
lishmen In America are perfectly salts
fled with the system OF government
that we find in the United States, and
are content to comply with all the laws
and usages of the land, without desiring
to modify them in any way. In fact
there is no reason why we should wish
for any change We have not the
slightest objection to being governed by
native born American citizens; and as
for those eminent American statesmen,
legislators, judges and bosses In gene
raj who are OF Irish birth-well we
English have long been accustomed to
be ruled by the Irish.
BY refraining from abjuring their al

loyalty to the queen, the English people
in the United States cannot be said to
shirk or evade any obligations. We pay
the same taxes and the same rates as if
We were full fiedged citizens, and are
content to forego any voice with regard
to the expenditure of the revenue thus
contributed. Perhaps this circum-
stance may be taken as an offset for
our exemption from jury duty, which Is
about the only immunity that we enjoy

of six months no more than 1850 shares
had been subscribed for, and of that
number three thousand belonged to the
Caisse advertisement. When the
| First Consul Napoleon was aiming at
supreme power there existed few is
sue banks in Paris, but their indepen-
dence did not please the autocratic SEN
timents of the future master of France.
He wished to have bank he could call
his own, and consequently ordered his
State Councillor Cretet to create the
Bank of France
Though not a great financier, Cretet
was clever enough to grant the new
bank on the Caisse des Complies Cour-
antes, and it Is curious fact that the
first bank-notes issued by the Bank of
France We're those of the Caisse deS
Complies Courants. In 1S00th ere were
tWenty-one million francs of these notes
either In circulation or in the Golfers of
the bank. AT that time the Bank of
France was simply another issue bank,
which had to compete with those al
ready existing, and even two years later
all the shares Of the bank had not been
subscribed for. Advantage was, how
ever, taken of monetary crisis to grant
the Bank of France the exclusive right
to issue bank-notes in Paris, but the
rights of the provincial issue banks
were not for the time being interfered
with. This was the first privilege
granted the Bank of France. 1t was to
have lasted fifteen years, but before the
expiration Of that period 1t obtained the
charter which, in its fundamental prin-
ciples, still exists to-day That charter
was granted by decree on January 16,
1908; but on April 20, 1906, the privilege
to issue bark-notes IN Paris had been
prolonged for twenty-five years, and
the emperor had decided to give the
bank governor and two deputy COVER
nors chosen by himself. In this manner
the Bank of France was definitely
founded. It's charter, which expired in
1S4S, was renewed IN 1910 for twenty
four years. In 1S4S the Bank of France
obtained the monopoly for the issue of
bank-notes throughout the whole Of
France, and later on It's charter was
prolonged till 1897 when 1t was again
extended till 192O-Paris Correspond

AN ELEPHANT TRAGEDY.

Laet Sunday afternoon, while con-
cert was being held at the Crystal Pal
ace an elephant belonging to circus
which had been performing there broke
from it's fastenings and killed it's keep
er. 1t then brushed through various
partitions of wood and glass, and, ap-
peared in the main building, where
great number of persons were listen
ing to the music. 1t did not attempt to
hurt any of the crowd, though it broke
off with it's trunk the uplifted arm of
statue, probably under the idea that this
represented a man about to strike. At
ter some time it allowed itself to be Sc
cured by another elephant. 1t was then
decided to kill the animal. and after a
dose of poison had failed, London gum
maker was sent for as executioner and
shot the animal dead.
On the following Wednesday an in
quest was held on the body of the man.
The evidence in favor of the elephant
could not have been more clearly put.
Mr.. Sanger, it's owner, admitted that
the animal had once before killed a
former keeper; and ne gave facts which
led to the death of the second. The
first man had been discharged by MI
Sanger, fifteen months previously for
gross brutality to the animals. He
came back and asked to be employed
again. This was granted, and he was
taken on not as a keeper, but as
laborer. The very first time he went
into the stable the elephant, though it
was quite dark at the time, instantly
the mans voice and at once
crushed him to death against the stall.
That the creature had acted only in a
panic of horror at the temperance of
a tormentor was go well established at
the previous inquest that it was retain
ed in the menagerie. 1t was EXCEPTIONAL

CENTENARY OF THE BANK OF
FRANCE.

To-day February 49, is the one hun
dredth anniversary of the foundation of
the Bank of France. Its very modest
beginning was not calculated to enable
its first shareholders to foresee the
great future in store for their establish
ment. When the first meeting Of those
shareholders was held, only few thou
sand of the shares had been taken up.
The bank had been created with cap
ital of thirty million francs, divided into
thirty thousand shares Of one thousand
francs each; but even at the expiration
