road Wreck and Was Killed.
Savannah, Ca. Nov. 23.-Gypsy, a
big elephant .elonging to Harris Nick
81 Plate Shows, went crazy six miles
from Valdosta yesterday afternoon,
an killed her keeper, James O'Rourke.
The circus train had been in a
wreck at Triton earlier in the day,
when several Of the animal cars were
krecked and two or three horses killed.
The elephant Gypsy, was in a highly
nervous state wnen the train pulled
out for Valdosta, the next show point.
Six miles out from that town Gypsy
became so noisy and restless that
O'Rourke entered her car, as the train
stopped at a small station, to try to
quiet her. Immediately the mad brute
attacked the man and crushed his life
out against the side Of the car.
O'Rourke, for some reason, did not
close the door of the a after him, so
after killing her keeper Gypsy escaped
to the woods. Her absence was noted
before the train left the station and a
hunt was organized. The big beast
was shot a number of times before she
succumbed to rifle bullets in her brain.
O'Rourke's body was taken to Val
dosta, where it vas given burial this
afternoon, being taken to the cemetery
in a circus wagon drawn by six white
horses. His home was in New Or.
leans, where he has a wife and fam
lily.
The. skin and bones Of the elephant
have been saved. Twelve men buried
the mountain of her flesh this after
noon in the woods where Gypsy was

Penetrate Mexico.

st. Louis, Nov. eat is reported
that the Frisco system, which recent
ly absorbed the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, is about to gain an eastern
line by forming a close alliance with
the Grand Trunk. The Frisco is now
building a line to S%pofford, Tex,
where connection will be obtained
with the Eagle Pass line, penetrating
Mexico. The contamination of this
plan and of the alliance with the
Grand Trunk would make the Frisco
a tri-national system.

Rice Pierce Says That Democracy Must

Washington, Nov. 23.-The Post
prints the following interview with
Congressman Rice Pierce, of Tennes-
see:
THE recent elections go to show
that the Democratic party has nothing
to expect of the Western States. New
YORK did magnificently, and had other
sections behaved the same way we
would have carried the house by a
large majority. 1t looks to me as
thought We have got right back to the
same point, politically speaking, that
we were twenty-five years ago. I
mean that u great hope and strength
lies in an alliance between New York
and the solid South. The West de-
serted Democracy the minute it saw
that it could not get what it wanted as

WALTERS PA AS A DRIVER.

My pa lived on a farm when he
was just a little boy like me;
lie used to drive the horses there
Srost railroad tracks and everywhere.
one Sunday pa he said: II guess
III get a horse to-day, and les
Go buggy-ridin', fur away,
md take our l6neh, and stay all day."
AT first ms didn't like to go,
Because the horse might cut up so;
But pa said: "Pshaw! They'll be no harm.
cause once l lived out on a farm"
AT last ma she give in, and then
She dressed the baby UP, and when
Pa brought the horse and buggy, ma
said: Now, be careful, won't you, pa?"
on, pshaw! Don't be afraid" pa said,
And told the horse to go ahead,
The baby was behind with ma,
And l set up in front with pa.
The horse went decent till at last
A notify mobile scootin' fast
Como tearin' down the road as though
1t was wound up and had to go.
The horse stood up and paved the air,
And something seemed to make pas hair
All bristly, and his eyes-oh, gee!
But they looked queer, it seemed to me.
His face got white. and then he said
70 me, a whisperin': Were dead!'
But we got by at last, and then
The horse behaved h~imself-again.
When We were home ma said she knew
That pa would know just what to do.
h said she knew they'd be no harm,
Cause pa had lived out on a farm.
And pa he held his head up high
And said "of course" and that was why
He took US out to ride, because
They'd be no danger where he was.
I wonder if God loves folks who
Pretend they don't do what they DO,
And when you're scared enough to die
And don't let on, is that a lie?

scope for the Indulgence OF uncon-
venticnal functions. Then came
spring when his fancy already more
than lightly turned to thoughts of the
supreme passion.
Before early summer had passed
Cameron Kent had won and wooed
Cissy with all the ardor of an impul-
sive young swain who had never been
a victim to society's iron-clad rules.
Under Cissy's influence he grew al
most unconventional, and, profiting
by his systematic and methodical
habits, her top drawer became a thing
of order.
The courtship was brief and happy
their honeymoon a time of bliss.
One day when they were recalling the
past and he was trying for the hum
dredth time to locate the exact mo-
ment that he lost his heart to her, he
finally declared that it was when she
was greasing his hands on the night
of their famous candy-pull.
81 never thought that I really
knew you, as you Were, until that
night" said Cissy.
He began to laugh.
Il shall have to tell you some
thing. 1t seemed a terrible thing for
me at the time, but looking back
ward, it strikes me as being very
funny. You see I had a great many
engagements, and so L was in the
habit of jotting down place, date and
event in a memorandum book l kept
for the purpose. 1 am naturally ac-
c~urate, and 1 never made a mistake
in my dates, but I got your dinner
dance noted a day in advance in some
inexplicable way and when I came,
as you thought, to call that night.
/ supposed that l was coming to the
dinner dance until you came into the
drawing-room in shirt waist attire.
1 determined to make a formal cali
and depart. In my confusion | ac-
cepted your hospitable invitation to
accompany you to the kitchen"
There was a silence. Cissy did not
laugh and tease him as he had ex-
pected. Finally she said:
Cameron, / thought it an awfully
good joke at the time, but since I've
felt like an artful, designing person
in keeping silence so long. l have
been calling myself an imposter-I,
too, have a confession to make"
you know what confession is good
for,' he laughed, 80 TESS up"
Cameron" she said earnestly, Il
put the date in your invitation a
day in advance of the others, and
planned the candy pull and all, so L
could meet you informally and get
acquainted with you. Do you think
that was awful?"
His laughter was good to hear.
but tell me, Cissy, you little o
spirator," he said presently, when ha
had assured her that the scheme was
a happy thought, why did you want
to meet me informally and get ac-
quainted with me then? Did you really
like me?"
"Oh, Cameron" she sighed, ga year
before / came out I thought you the
most stunning thing I ever laid eyes
on, and I could hardly wait for my
debut to meet you. If you hadn't
fallen in love with me, I should have
| gone into the convent"
Bound to wear a veil in either case,
eh, Cissy," he asked lightly, but
with pleasure shining in his eyes,

Still another child baroness is little
Lady Beaumont, who was born in-1s94
and is therefore just seven years of
age; the young countess of Cromartie
also came into her title while still
a girl in her teens, and yet another
of the few harnesses in their own
right is Lady Marlborough, Baroness
Conyers, who holds two titles, her
husbands, by which, of course, she
has been known since her marriage
some Is years ago.
Among the peeresses, it is safe to
say, not one is held higher in estima-
ton by her personal friends and the
world at large than the aged Baron
ess BurdettCoutts, who, although ST
years of age, still takes the keenest
and most practical interest in the
many philanthropical schemes with
which she is connected and is sur
prisingly vigorous. The baroness,
whose life has been one long round
of philanthropy, was created a peer
ess in 1871, just ten years before her
marriage with Ashmead Bartlett
(who has since adopted her name)
created so much comment.
