Elepha.. Enter. . Kitchen.

A rather amusing incident happened
at Greenlaw, Scotland, the other day.
A circus had visited the place, and
among the attractions was a cage Of
wild animals. There were also sew
eral elephants, which were utilized for
drawing the caravans. At night the
elephants were simply hobbled in the
village green. and early on the morn
ing after the performance one Of them
cast of his moorings and went for .
tour on his own account. In the
course Of his peregrinat,ons he came
to a house, formerly the old manse,
at the side Of which was . small close
or entry which led to the back prem
ises. The door admitting to the
entry had been open, and Jumbo
managed to squeeze his way through.
On arriving at the door Of the house
he managed to open 1t, and tho en-
trance being too small, he made It
larger by showing down . part Of the
side wall. The entrance into the
kitchen he affected in the same way.
pushing down . part Of the wall. Dn-
trance having been thus obtained. he
made q search for edibles. The only
thing which he obtained was = loaf oi
bread, which he quickly demolished.
Meanwhile the people, who were all in
bed upstairs. were awakened by the
noise, and were afraid to 30 below, q
they thought the intruder was one Of
the lions which had escaped from the
menagerie. They. however, made

know it, DIR. Dio Lewis, an emf
ncnt authority on digestion and
foods, author of "Our Digestion,
died at very early age, after cares
fully following the regime of eating
and drinking prescribed in his own
book for others. His early demise
of course does not disprove his
teachings, yet it were almost i'm
possible to have lived up to his
dietary maxims. 1t is hardly a
mooted question that the human
family consumes too much food
and masticates it improperly, but to
wholly abstain from some of the
very commonest food products,
would be to deprive the larger pro-
portion OF the people from life sus-
tanning foods. We have concluded,
after considerable observation that
it is not so much what we eat, as
how we eat it. Sufficient time to
masticate, to digest and not to over
eat are about the essential rules to
observe, in so far as our digestion
is concerned.

The Rocky Mountain News is

the argument the News says moths

paper on that bill2 Mr.. Patterson
has always been seemingly kindly

Patterson will have none Of the bill.
Without waiting tor the judgment

Where whistlIng Il 6n.

TIE Arabs call wh:stling "the devils
music" and they consider it the most
unlucky sound that can proceed from
human lips. An old proverb of theirs
is to the effect that after whistling,
the mouth is not purified for forty
days.
In many other parts of the world a
similar idea prevails, in the Tonga is
lands, for instance, where whistlins Is
'.tabu," and in Iceland. where the
peasants strongly object to 1t, believ-
ing it to be a violation OF the divine
law. Whistling is quite unknown
among the descendants OF the Peru
Wan Incas.
The Cornish miners are very super
stitious, and they lay ban on whist
ling while underground. The old
hands think it fertile source Of evil,
and the young hands get many a
"scat" on the head to bring them to
the same opinion.

Found Few Bodies OF Animals.

It has been a source OF much sur
prise to Prof. Nordenskjold that dur
ing his expedition within the arctic
circle, in regions where animal life Is
abundant, he has found very few re-
mains Of animals which died q natural
death. No one has any idea OF what
becomes OF the bodies of such animals;
and it is indeed very strange that on
S2itzbergen it is easie~ to find bones
of a gigantic lizard OF remote geologi-
c.! time than those Of "self-dead'
seal, walrus or bird. The same Is also
true o. some places not so far north.

AS you stand on an elevation ana

catches the form Of a gigantic white
horse upon the side Of hill beyond

rock in the side of the Downs. and Is
175 feet long from the head to the
tail 1t is believed to have been made
IL the time of King Alfred, who died
1000 years ago. The figure is rather
crude. but when seen at distance the
outline of a horse is very distinct. just
above the figure, on top Of the hlii'
are the remains OF an old camp.

WHERE CREDIT is DUE.

Philadelphia Press: A good many
efforts are being made to apportion
the credit for bringing the coal strike
to an end. Much praise, and justly,
is given to President Roosevelt for
his share in the result. President
Mitchell of the Miners union is also
given his allowance of commendation,
and, lastly, public opinion in praised
for aiding materially in the settle
ment.
There is a fourth factor, however,
of which little notice has been taken,
but without which the third factor,
or public opinion, would have been
largely imperative. And that fourth
factor is the newspapers. They could
easily have misled or influenced pub
lie opinion and so have prolonged the
strike and encouraged violence and
%bloodshed. To their credit be it said
they did neither. They kept the pub
lie correctly Informed as to occur
rences from day to day all through
the five months struggle, and in their
comments they held the balance SO
impartially between miners and opera
TORS that all could know what was
happening and form a correct judg-
ment as to the situation. In this way

n that bribery, intimidation, coer-
cion and corruption should have no
place in the government of a state
and that is several branches of adj
ministrai:on should not be made the
prize for which those possessed of
wealth should strive to the utter dis
regard CT the rights and wishes. CT the
masses. From a S ate supposedly
governed by the conditions in mind
when the fathers of popular govern
ment promulgated their beliefs and
gave actuality to their desires and
ideas, they have seen Montana grad
nally made The plaything of a few, it's
courts brought into disrepute and it's
Legislators contemned of all good,
l~aw-abiding people. They may be mis-
taken, but they seriously believe that
if created into a state their capital
would never become the scene of the
disgraceful proceedings that have
been enacted at the capital of the
present state of Montana and that
they would tie free of the odium ana
shame under which they are 10Y
forced to rest because of the wick
edness and venality of men from
whose domination they desire to free
themselves.
Unless there is g great and lasting
change in men and conditions the
talk Of division now heard in east
ern Montana is likely to grow strong
er and give way to united effort in
the direction of action.

public opinion was not only informed
but crystalized and brought to bear
on both sides and a happy result
reached.
In all it's long career of usefulness
it is doubtful if the newspapers ever
rendered a greater service to the pub
lie than they did during the recent
strike. They also demonstrated the
long stride taken in the fairness and
fullness with which events are chron-
icled and treated by the newspapers.
No labor trouble was ever reported
so fully or criticised so fairly as the
recent coal strike, and as a conse-
quence the public knew exactly what
was occurring, what the merits of each
side of the controversy we're and how
it ought to be settled. This service
of the newspapers should not be ig-
nored in apportioning the credit for
bringing in sight a, happy end of the
great coal strike of 1902.

A BOAST,

New York Tribune: A perusal OF
the annual report of General John T..
Weston, chief commissary of the
army, will convince the reader that
to be an efficient officer one must
have a knowledge of business
methods, as we'll as of tactics. The
army consumed in the last year g.
574,972 pounds Of beef and mutton,
and by the business arrangements OF
the department this was delivered at
a reasonable price. The Philippine
supply vas sen from Australia and
was of the first class refrigerated
kind. The beef was bought at an
average of 6:6S cents a pound and
the mutton for $50 cents a pound.
The delivery at army stations aver
aged 2 cents a pound. In drawing
comparisons between prices paid by
the United States government and
England, General Weston points to
the fact that a ration of beef alone
delivered to the British army in South
Africa, cost more than "our entire
ration of beef, flour, coffee, etc., de-
livered at Manila"

THE eoAT

According to a publication just is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture the goat, particularly
the caprine of the Angora species,
has another value than simply to sup
ply the humorist and c%artoonist with
a handy subject or which to exercise
their wits. Because of the shameful
manner in which those vandals have
been accustomed to treat the goat
family, regardless of branch or de-
gree of breeding and b%lueness of
blood, the average person has been
led to the belief that all goats are
good for is to perch On the apex Of
the roof sheltering some worthy but
poor son of Miles, or to browse on a
scrap pile, when not posing for it's
picture to advertise the beer that is
so popular about the first of May.
It is to disabuse the popular mind of
this m"isconception formed as regards
a really worthy animal and to show
that it is good for something beside
a target for the wit of the humorist
that the editor-in-chief of the agri-
cultural bureau has issued his work.
aristocratic Angora the subject of his
book, but then the Angora is only a
goat and the other species of the
capricornus should be content to shine
through the reflected glory of their
specially honored congenor.
While honoring the goat, the de-
boquet at Montana, signalling it's at
tention in this respect to the extent
of devoting three full page engravings
illustrating goat e n in the state.
In neither one of the illustrations does
the artist adhere to tradition or Gus
tom. He fails to show a goat peer
cliff onto a man seated below dress
ed in decidedly negligee costume and
smoking a stub of a clay pipe, nor
does he picture one d~evouring an
oyster can or standing mpa With
a foaming glass Of beer held in the
hoof of his front leg. All are uncon-
vential and original in that respect.
They simply show goats sensibly eat
ing ~sagebrush and others standing
about the ranch in which
the man lives that owns them. That
is all. But it was evidently the be-
lief of the man responsible for the
pictures that they would prove more
valuable thus as an adjunct to the
book than if closer attention had been
paid to custom and he had called on
the illustrator of a comic publication
to make them according to his ideas
and notions. While probably more
amusing, such pictures would have
been less effective in the direction OF
accomplishing the worthy object OF
the author of the work-popularizing
| the propagation of the Angora goat
| for the production of mohair.

LAWS FOR ALL.

Governor Taft is determined that
there shall be no distinction in the mat
ter of laws for the proper govern
ment of the Philippines. He will see
to it that it shall not be said Of his
administrator that there was law only
for the natives and none for the
whites.
Some days ago he told a number of
municipal officials of Cavite that they
must unite to suppress crime and
improve the moral atmosphere of that
province. This they readily consented
to do, but complained of their inabil-
ity to do anything in the direction of
suppression or even depressing the
absolute foreigners and Americans
who have settled among them. Gov
ernor Taft was no less prompt in
making promise than had been the
other side. He assured the officials
that he would see to it that vagrancy
laws were enacted by which the ele-
ment complained of by the Filipinos
ccould be reached and adequately
punished.
1t is by such actions that the Fill
pinos are being brought to realize the
impartiality of the American genius
of legislation and that under the
American laws all men stand on an
equality, regardless of their color,
race or social condition.

Holloway was forced to maintain a
silent tongue and mute lips through
out the entire shameful period of
vituperative attack, not once daring
to strike back at his cowardly as
sailants, who S sheltered themselves be-
hind the securitv they knew his posi-

as the vote has shown. When the

a sternness of mind and intent Of pur-
pose that left nothing TO be under
