severed and the Elephants freed. There
was great Joy among the Elephants, who
made such an uproar. dashing about the
sides of the trap and trumpeting, that
the hunters dared not return But the
Giant Rabbit could not gnaw through
the great posts OF the trap
wall. His teeth were worn out and he
was very tired. So the Elephants de-
cided ON d plan of escape. They kept
very quiet for a long time, hoping the
hunters would return and open the huge
gates Of the trap. Then they would ali
rush out, kill the hunters. and escape
After waiting for some days and be-
coming very hungry and irritable, the
elephants at length heard the hunters
coming. The Giant Rabbit quietly with

the poor Giant Rabbit fed away into
the desert again. For a long time he
did not stop to rest or eat. but with
great leaps sped across the plains OF
sand. After several days Of wander
ing on in this way the Giant Rabbit
noticed a change in the air, which grew
chilly and dry. He had come to land
where there were neither. lakes nor
forests, nor warm, shaded hillsides
where partridge berries grew Instead

Rabbit went on his lonesome journey
He no longer saw any creatures eX-

him. There were birch and hemlock
trees and the rocks were covered with
sweet moss, yet the snow and the cold
grew ever deeper and sharper.
At length the solitary rabbit came TO
a wide and slightly flowing river upon
which were fields OF ice. To cross the
river the rabbit sprang upon a large
cake and sought 10 leap from cake TO

~ not enjoy the water with the
Elephants he could play on land
with them. Come. let US see who can
jump the highest he cried. Then he
gave a brisk little frisk and leaped
three times as high as the Elephants
back, landing again so lightly on his
four feet that It was only like few
leaves falling. The great Elephant
thought that he was so much stronger
than the Rabbit that Of course he could
jump higher, so he sprang upward in
his clumsy way, his forelegs sticking
up and apart like a couple of great gate
posts. If the Giant Rabbit had not
skipped TO one side his heavy friend
would have landed on his toes AS it
was, the old Elephant landed on his size
and lay wallowing in the mud.
Soon after this they all went TO sleep.

Elephants all pushed against the tree
with might and main. Then, with a
mighty roar, the tree fell. crushing

noise was delightful to the Elephants.

The Old Elephant patted his friend the
Rabbit anectionately with his trunk and
said:
My dear friend, come and help us

escaped from the hunters. All my
brothers. uncles, and friends are caught
in a great wooden trap they cannot

trees, driven into the ground"

some Of the paper with which you line
the box, so that when the coin lies IN
the bottom of the box II will look like

This prepared coin you keep con-
cealed in your hand. having been made
ready without the knowledge OF the

the prepared one carefully concealed in
your hand, borrow a penny from some
one in the company. and then dexterous-
" substituting the prepared one for the
borrowed one, put II into the oox, ASK
ing the company to look at you as you
do 1t.
Then put the lid on the box and shake
ND and down. when the movement OF the
penny in the box will prove that II Is
there. Stop shaking the box and COM
mand the penny to leave, making pass
or two over the box with your hand.
Now shake the box from side 20 side.
and SIS the penny fits closely it viii not

any sound
Tell the company that the penny has
left the box and may be found in GER
tain book on the table or IN any one OF
the places where you have hidden them
in preparing for the trick While some
one is looking for the penny you slip
the prepared one out OF the box and into

Head Of American Medical Temper
Put ON Common Footing With 9th

Alcoholism in its scientific aspect Is
the cause of pauperism, disease, sui
eide, crime, death; as the corroder Of
tissue, as the paralyzer of nerve force,
the deadener of the senses and the de-
stroyer of the consciences Of men was
discussed by able members of the
American Medical Temperance associ-
alton at It's recent meeting n New
Orleans.
The American Medical Temperance
association is composed entirely Of
members Of the American Medical as

years ago in Washington, DR.. N. S. Da-
Wis, now the honorary president, being
the first president It is one of four
similar societies and has a member
ship Of about 200. There is a similar
organization in England with about
1000 members, one in France with
Germany with a membership Of over
1000. They are all devoted to scien-
tific study of the problem of alcohol
ism.
The paper of DR.. Davis, the venera-
bic honorary president Of the associa-
ton Of Chicago, who was unable to at
tend, was read to the meeting by Dr..
W. s. Hall of Chicago.
DR.. Davis paper was notable in sum-
marizing the purposes of the organiza-
ton in its advocacy of restrictive leg
islation which will put alcohol on a
common footing with other poisonous
substances like chloroform and cocaine,
in it's insistence that the problem of
temperance be lifted from the meshes
Of politics and be dealt with as a
purely scientific problem by sanitary
authorities and the courts Of justice,
and in its sweeping and untempered
denunciation of the uses and abuses of
alcohol generally by the men and wom-

Or. Davis said in part:
I'm claiming that alcohol as it exists
in fermented and distilled liquors is a
