Kansas City Star.
A Kansas City woman, whose hair is
gray. went to New York recently and
took ride on a trolley car. Both of the
side seats on the car were crowded with
men. AS she stood there hanging 10 a
strap and swinging and Jerking with the
motion of the car she observed that all Of
the men seemed to be entirely hidden be-
hind their newspapers. She thought as
she stood there that in Kansas City men
often rise to give their seats to women.
The difference was painful to contem-
plate. Finally negro near the other
end of the car stood up and said:
Take this seat, lady
mo" answered the Kansas City woman
with awful distinctness. Il will not take
the seat of the only gentleman in the
car
The newspapers dropped suddenly and
six men jumped to their feet. Apparently
they had just seen the gray-haired old
lady. And she took her choice of seats.

A word About Borrowing Troub,,

A Word About Borrowing Trouble.
There are some unhappy persons who
seem fated to go through life with a
constitutional tendency to despond-
ency. We all know and meet them
daily, and they can always see a cloud
where none exists With most of these
persons it is simply matter OF exer-
cising the will. Anxiety about present
troubles or prospective difficulties new
er brought any good to those who in
dulged in it.
The successful ones in life are those
who have been bouyant in spirit, and
who resolutely refuse to allow the cares
of life to unduly depress them In
stead of allowing the mind 20 brood
over things that cannot be helped.
1t should be set to work upon the duty
that lies nearest to it. Worrying about
matters does not improve them in the
slightest degree; on the contrary, it
weakens the purpose, robs the physical
nature of its vitality and totally units
us to cope with the obstacles that lie
in our path. The gravest mistake, and
one that is unfortunately only too fire.
quently made is TO meet troubles half
way. These will come soon enough;
they do not want any encouragement,
and very often when they do come
they are not half so formidable as we
imagined they would be. Anticipation
in some cases is worse than the real
ity.

NEW YORK. June 1.-Sport, the
Bostock show elephant which fell OFF
Lehigh Valley train near Allentown,
Pa, moaned and tossed like an ailing
human being all day yesterday as he
lay on his side In a box car in the
freight yard at Newark, N. j. Veter~
mary Hopkins, of New York, said he
feared the elephants spine was In
jured.
Sport looked like a desperately sick
elephant. He tossed his huge head
and rolled his little eyes in evident
pain. Keepers Gilbert Cole and Matt
johnson talked with Surgeon Hopkins
about the condition of the pachydermic
patient and it seemed as il Sport was
trying to catch the meaning of their
words. He watched them more closely
than he did the crowd of curiosity
seekers whose heads fringed the door
of the car. He would reach out with
his trunk in an endeayor to seize
their hats from their heads, trick
that he liked to play when he was a
we'll elephant. Failing to get them he
would groan in respondent way and
hisconsolately dop his big fan-like ears
from side to side.
The hour arrived when the surgeon
must give him his medicine, tonic
composed chiefly or iron. Sport shut
his teeth tight. He did not relish the
iron tonic any more than child
would. Cole and Johnson each took
grip on the trunk and forced it to
pne side, while they talked soothingly
to the elephant. Finally he seemed to
realize that they were trying to help
him and uncoiled his trunk so it would
not be in the way. Then obedient to
the prying fingers of Cole, he opened
his mouth reluctantly and the doctor
poured half the contents of the bottle
down the animals throat. Sport made
a distinct grlmace and then fourished
his trunk, as much as to say:
There! See what a good patient
I ami"
After swallowing the tonic Cole
brought bucket of water and the ele-
plant eagerly thrust his trunk into it.
He wants to wash away the taste
OF the medicine" explained Cole to the
on-lookers.
an hour after the medicine had been
administered Cole took into the car
tubful OF mash, composed Of meal and
not water. The elephant trumpeted.
So Cole took the mash in his hands
and placed it in the elephants mouth.
Sport eagerly opened his j0ws as wide
as they would go to facilitate the feed
iHS process. Then he put his head
down on his pillow Of straw and seem
ed to be attempting to sleep. but his
little eyes kept opening and every few
minutes he would oralt groan so
hunlRa-iike that IL was startling.
ali tais time he never moved his
hind quarters, which strengthened the
su92ocition thai his spine had sua-
tined fracture, Repeatedly Surgeon
