ELEPHANT KILLS HER KEEPER
She Goes Mad While Travelling in
Georgia.

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 26.-Gypsy, the
big elephant, belonging to a circus, the
elephant which injured its keeper in
winter quarters in Chicago several
years ago, went crazy six miles from
Valdosta and killed her keeper, James
O'Rourke. The circus train had been
in wreck early in the day, when sew
eral of the animal cars were wrecked
and two or three horses killed. Gypsy
was in a highly nervous state when
the train finally pulled out for Val
dosta, the next show point. Six miles
out from that town Gypsy became so
nervous and restless that she was tied
down and the train stopped to try to
quiet her. Immediately the mad brute
attacked her keeper and crushed his
life out against the side of the car
O'Rourke, for some reason, did not
close the door of the car after him, so
after killing her keeper Gypsy escaped

four fights Of stairs by the washwoman
herself, a pale, tired looking woman of
forty or hereabouts, who thanked West
lake with full eyes.
The student hesitated before accepting
her invitation to dinner, but thinking that
he might be of service in amusing the
children, he consented to stay. He found
plenty to do. The junior Hawkins, frail,
half starved little fellows as they were,
seemed to be endowed with a full sense

ner which left him little time to think
of anythi save the art of self-defense.
Andy, the wide-awake 4-year-old, report
ed the progress of the dinner to the 9Th
ers at frequent intervals, taking hasty
trips to the kitchen for that purpose.
The eagerly awaited moment came at
last. Dinner was ready, and such a
dinner as the children made Of it! 1t
was well worth the cost, Westlake
thought, to see them eat and watch the
pleased look on the mothers face. How
the turkey disappeared! 1t was turkey
for relish, turkey for entree, turkey for
dessert. Surely no one bird ever before
did such signal service to humanity!
Amid the clatter of the meal low rap
at the outer door was unnoticed. A
louder knock brought Mrs. Hawkins to
her feet. Her face showed plainly that
the visitor was not unexpected. West
lake was helping the boy nearest him to
fourth slice of turkey, and looked up
just as the new conner entered the room.
His knife nearly dropped from his hands.
There before him stood Helen Merri-
vale, surveying the group with wonder
equal to his own. A basket which she
carried on her arm indicated that she,
too, had come on a mission of charity.
This is indeed a surprise, Mr.. West
lake." she said, after she had regained
her composure. I'm afraid my journey
has been in vain," she added, with a
smile, glancing at the swiftly disappear
ing viands.

Westlake, meaningly, and Helen blushed

Miss Merivale consented to drink CUP
Of coffee after her long walk. West
lake made several unsuccessful attempts
to catch her eye. Was she really offend
ed or hurt, or was 1t all mistake? The
question was soon to have a reply. Fred
felt 1t his duty to converse with the
guests.
''That was a pretty girl saw you with
the other day, Mrs. Westlake," he said
with an air borrowed from the students
he admired at distance.
Eyes; my sister Is considered very pref

full at Helen. "Dora paid me only {
flying visit, or 1 should have asked per
mission to present her to your parents
and you, Miss Merivale."

ing before, fully expecting to receive a
letter in the well-known handwriting,
but none had come.
Assuredly something had happened to
change Helen's feelings toward him. but
try as he might, no satisfactory expiana-
ton presented itself.
Westlake, however, was not one to give
way to dependency. He had had many
disappointments in his college course and
had learned to bear them philosophically.
He walked briskly down the frozen path,
struck the sidewalk and turned into the
long, elm guarded street. The air was
lold and exhilarating, and he forgot his
! perplexities for the moment in a new
| feeling of strength and life.
The streets were well nigh deserted.
The market windows whose Thanksgiv-
i ing wares had been so temptingly dis
played the afternoon before were now
nearly empty. Only a few underfed spe-
cimens of poultry remained exposed to
the gaze of possible purchasers, objects

oldest son of his washweman. Harold
had often seen him and had once visited
his home on the outskirts Of the city.
Here's my opportunity" he thought,
as he greeted the boy.
TheGlad was drawing a small express
& wagon loaded with large bundle of
washing. The students quick eye took
In the situation at a glance. The big
load at which the boy tugged and strain

and th1nly clothed form told clearly Of
his home life, of his widowed, hard-work-

mouths to whom Thanksgiving would be

ton on Westlake's face as he walked
down the path. His step, habitually
buoyant, was like that Of a man who Is
pondering some knotty problem. He was
a tall, large framed, athletic looking fel
low. His college training had not made
him pale or round shouldered-a char
acteristic of most collegians In those early
days-and he fattered himself that with
all his proficiency In what his practical
father called 'your Greek and Latin
rubbish" he could still prove to the rug
ged farmer his ability to hold plow or
pitch hay with the best of his old Elm
field companions whose education had not
been over emphasized.
As he turned a corner Of the path his
eye was attracted to the college poplar
which stood near the walk, and now en-
veloped in a momentary outburst Of sun
shine. 1t had long been a custom at the
Institute for every freshman to cut his
initials on the tree trunk, and high up
from its base the smooth bark was closely
covered with monograms, the lower ones
now almost obliterated by the growth Of
the tree. Near the top Of the list West
lake saw his own, III. r. w. ST." A
Senior-yes, unreal as 1t seemed, three
years had passed since he had carved

them, the happy occasions which other
Thanksgiving Days had been to him came

valeS pleasant home, the old-fashioned
Thanksgiving dinner, the after dinner
chat in the cosy parlor, and, as twilight
came on, the singing of some familiar air,
or a rollicking college song in which voice
and plano seemed to blend far more
sweetly than anywhere else. But this
was no more to be. He might as we'll

pushed his hands down deeper into his

REcLAlMINe OF ARID LANDS
Report of Secretary of Interior on the
Subject.

Washington.-The report of the Sec
rotary of the interior for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1902, has been made
public. 1t refers to the passage OF
the law for the reclamation of arid
lands at the last session of congress
and says:
con the day following the passage OF
the act plans were submitted by the
director of the geological survey for
putting it into effect; and these being
approved by me, survey parties were
at once put in the field to obtain all OF
the facts concerning the feasibility of
various projects.
Great care is being exercised in
selecting projects which will be of ths
greatest benefit to the country; which
will settle upon the land the greatest
number of people, and which will re-
turn to the treasury the cost of the
undertaking, keeping intact the fund
for new works. No considerations of
expediency or sentiment can be toler-
ated, but only those Of making the
work success from business stand
point"
The report shows that there were
disposed of during the fiscal year pub,
lie lands aggregating 19,4SS,535.30
acres, an increase of 3,925,7 acres, as
compared with the aggregate disposals
for the preceding fiscal year.

Ing the reading of the note had been d.
vided between his wagon and the shop
windows, take home your washing ard
bring your wagon back as soon rs you
can"
The lad, his big blue eyes expressing
his wonder more plainly than words,
quickened his pace and disappeared, lit
tie guessing to what purpose the wagon
was to be put. Westlake, In the mean
time, strolled up and down the sidewalk,
judging with the practiced eye of farm
er's son the poultry and vegetables in the
provisioners' windows. He had hardly
finished his tour of inspection, and select
ed as good a variety as the lateness of
the season afforded, when Fred reap
peared.
By means Of few questions tactfuily
put, Westlake soon had fairly correct
idea Of the condition of the Hawkins
larder, together with the individual Tx
ings of the little Hawkinses. Ere the
steeple clock hard by had struck eleven,
the strangely assorted couple were max
ing their way toward Asylum lane. The
axles Of the little express wagon fairly
creaked with the weight of the boxes
and bundles entrusted to 1t.
Their very appearance was a paradise
of anticipation to Fred. One of the pack
ages, from which pair of claws pro-
truded, could contain nothing less than
a turkey; there were potatoes and tur-
nips, beets and celery, onions and sage,
assorted cakes and crackers, and in the
end Of the wagon sundry brown paper
bags which the boys Imagination fondly
pictured as containing candies (some
chocolates, he hoped, nuts, bananas, Or
anges, popcorn, figs, and perhaps some
chewing gum. What a glorious dinner!
The heart of the college man, itself
youthful, beat with pleasure at the boys
delight, and the long expected dinner at
the Merivales, even Helen herself, was
for the moment forgotten.
Several other persons, bent on like err
rands of charity, were met with In the
crowded city quarters, and Westlake
began to feel himself quite philanthropy
list. The feeling increased as they stop
ped before an immense wooden tenement
house, and were ushered into the dark,

said.
She recognized it at glance.
"Oh, Harold, can you ever forgive meT'
she exclaimed. IF had only known 1t

together, and you were so far away that
did not recognize her. Then thought
you might wish to spend the day with
your new friend, and would not send
the invitation"
SIS 1t still cancelledT asked Westlake,
playfully holding the scored lines up be-
fore her.
