PAIRING ELEPHANTS CoRNS.
The Keepers Pedieure Tools Include
 q Jackplane.

William Snyder elephant keeper and chiropodist." is the way his cards should read. but Snyder is not proud of his work In removing corns and clipping toenails from the feet of his huge charges in the Central park 200, so he is content to be known merely as the elephant man.
 Julie and Tom, the huge beasts that eat all the peanuts that visitors will give them are anxious to be given the freedom of their hack yards. They feel the spring warmth and they want to be out of doors. But during the win ter the five toenails on each of the ponderous feet have grown several inches and must be trimmed, and corns weighing perhaps ten pounds each have been formed on the soles of the feet. These toenails and corns must be re- moved and Keeper Snyder is the man who must do 1t.
 Snyder explains that wild elephants keep their toenails Horn short and the soles of their feet thin by exercise. While ir captivity, lack of exercise causes corns and bunions to form and the toenails become too long and are frequently "ingrowing." Tom has been manicured before and Snyder expects little trouble with him, as he knows that the use of rasp. jackplane, draw ing knife and pruning shears is nee essary part of his spring toilet
 Julie is a worse proposition" says Snyder. she konws nothing about the fine points of pedicure and she is ner- vous, like most women She will try to kill me sure
 "She won't lie down when I tell her, and she won't stay down when she's there. She utterly refuses to put her foot on the block, and she gets fright ened to death when We try to tie her. You might just as well try to tie down locomotive when she gets frightened.
 "I'll take her in the morning. when we can lock all the doors and there won't be any spectators around to get killed. We'll get all the keepers to manage her and use all the rope in the park if necessary.
 People will hear her down at the Battery, but her corns have got to be cut if we have to call out the militia. When the elephants get mad that way they stir up all the other animals, and there will be chorus singing that will make Central park sound like the iies of the frontier. New York World.

Do Not Drink While Eating.

Liquids at meals, If taken too often
or too carelessly, are liable to dilute
the gastric juices. Take no liquid OF
any kind when food is in the mouth.
Take as little as possible till the close
of the meal. The digestive agents
themselves being fluids, it is reason
able to suppose that an excess OF
LIQUIDS taken with the food will have
a tendency to dilute and thereby
weaken the digestive juices-Lodies'

Mexican Women Make Good wives.

The women of Mexico, as rule.
make docile and trustworthy wives,
deferring to the husband in matters
which the American woman would set
tie herself The women among the
masses possess only the charm of ex-
treme simplicity in dress and the
healthy. unrestrained beauty of figures
that have never known corset They
are well developed, as rule, having
round limbs, fine busts and long,
abundant hair. Many of the faces are
beautiful in youth. but they age ear
lier than their white sisters do, either
becoming obese and coarse, or shriyel-
ing with the loss of the plumpness
which once made then attractive.
They might have stepped out of the
pictures of Bible times, with their
plainly made cotton gowns and their
blue rebosos covering their heads.

NORTH WESTERN ROAD
WILL BUILD TO ELDORA

Boulder, Colo. Aug. 19.-CDenver
Republican Special)-The railroad to
Eldora is now an assured fact. II
Dill be built by the Colorado South
trn road, which now runs the narrow
gauge to Ward. The exact route to
be taken will be decided upon in
few days.
This information Games from U. Il.
Culbertson of this city. general man
ager of the road, whose father was un-
til few days ago the president of the
company, holding almost two-thirds of
the stock and practically all of the
outstanding bonds. The capital stock
of the company was $5OO,OOO, divided
into 5000 shares of 800 each.
For some time Colonel S. b. Dick of
Meadville, Pennsylvania, who is rated
as millionaire, has wanted to build
to Eldora. L. r. Mann, another inter
ested party and n director of the road,
being next to President Culbertson the
heaviest stockholder in the company,
was also desirous of building to Ell
dora.
a few weeks ago Colonel Dick was
out here again, and was more than
ever impressed with the feasibility of
extending the road to Eldora. When
he returned to Pennsylvania he and
President Culbertson met on some
basis, the exact nature of which is not
known, by which Colonel Dick be-
comes owner of the controlling inter
est in the Colorado Il Northwestern
road. Whether or not President Cul-
bertson retains any interest is not
known. General Manager Culbertson
said to-day:
"All that l know Is that my father
has sold a controlling interest to Col
onel Dick, and that Colonel Dick has
written to me that he has assumed
control of the road. Colonel Dick will
Immediately put the best surveying
talent procurable in the field to def1-

A 4-mill levy on that sum. will yield
an increased revenue for next year of
Sl,OO4.OOo. If that sum is realized for
three years, in excess of the average
revenue. Secretary Gray says that Col
orado will be out of debt.
Speaking of how the board of asses
sors did their work, Assessor Link
said:
The corporations. with the exception
of few small companies. refused to
furnish data or information of any
Kind or nature whatsoever to guide the
board of assessors in placing their val
ues on corporation property. SO the
board completed their assessments
from best information obtainable. In
fixing the values the board considered
the values of tangible property owned
by the several corporations such as
rolling stock. improvements, trackbed,
ctc.. and also the market value OF
bonds and stock and the value of spe-
cial privileges and franchises"
This year four express companies,
Wells-Fargo, Adams, United States
and Pacific. which have never before
paid taxes in Colorado on their fran
chiseS, will contribute to the eXchequer
the levy on 81, 100000. which the board
includes in its assessment returns A

list. being the Rio Grande 4 Pagosa

out the new revenue bill, and the 4-mill
levy is used for those years." said A. B.
Gray. secretary of the State Board of
Equalization and secrtary of the State
Board of Assessors. after the latter
board had adjourned subject to the call
of Chairman Lysight, and had turned
over to him the assessments it had
made on the corporate property.
The board of assessors increased the
assessment of the railroads. etc, for
1901 over 1900 exactly sol 0S6,50S. The
sum of S2,OOO.OOO must be deducted
from the latter figure, being the
amount of real estate owned by the
corporations in the state, which is as
sessed by the county assessors. But
that sum is Offset by $G.OOO,OOO, ap-
proNimately, which must be added to
the increased assessment, being the in
