While He Worried About His Fan
cied Misfortune He Ate Rub
Der Tree Foliage and Lost
Use Of His Legs.

looking up he found that he had
stripped the tree of all its leaves
and the heat Of the -. boiling
down upon him was so intense
that he sought the shelter Of an
other rubber tree and went on
with his musing and nibbling.
Thus he went from tree to tree
musing and nibbling, musing and
-nibbling, and by the time twilight
approached and the moon rose
over the horizon he had stripped
the rubber trees for a great dis
tance.
The dew of evening falling upon
him awoke him from his medita-
lions and he would have gone to
his home, but to his horror some
thing seemed to prevent him NOV
ing any great distance away.
He struggled and struggled, but
each time he was drawn back
again to his last nibbling place and
he realized that the strength
which he possessed as an Elephant
had departed.
Fearing then lest some fierce,
wild beasts bent on his destruction
should steal upon him, he looked
back and to his horror he found
that the hind part of his body had
not moved from the first tree he
nibbled.
He had eaten so many rubber
leaves that his body had gradually
become elastic and as he moved
from tree to tree he stretched it
out as one stretches a rubber band
and no matter how much he strug-
gled to get away, as Don a IS he
ceased his efforts his body would
fly back again just as a stretched
rubber band will fly back when
enc end is released.
In this most embarrassing pre-
dicament he was discovered by
some fierce sayages who seeing his
helpless condition cut off his 49,.
and -. and pulling the hide from
his great long body carried it OF
to their home, where it was used
for a fire hose; and his fate was a
warning to Elephants and all 9th
er things to be contented with the
lot which an all-wise Creator
deemed best for their welfare.

An Appeal to Which -1Eere Should

Virtues the Grtatsst is Charity
Another year has almost slipped by,
and although our city has suffered
one or two reyerses, on the otherh and
it has been a very successful year.
Brick builiings have gone up like
magic almost, pavemenfs have been
lad and there are signs es erywhere
of the prosperity of our city and
people.
, But in the midst of this general
| prosperity the year NAV have brought
ma litold misfortunes 80 some of us. it
may have brought dea = apffering and
many other of those ills to which
humanity is heir, but ihere is always
something to be thanfnl for. You
that have comfortable homes, with
an abundance Of 'uxuries, good
clothes to wear, wood and coal to
burn aud delicacies for yonr sick
think Of those who have not these
things and remember the destitute
and suffering around you by giving a
Thanks Offering" to Him who has
protected you. The Kings Daugh-
teTs all over the land are preparing
to give Thanksgiving dlnners to poor,
deserving families who otherwise
would have none, and our circle in
Hattiesburg would be greatly thankful
for any aid in the shape Of money or
food. If it is only one can Of milk,
send it, and you will feel better we
are sure for having done what you
could. The Daughters arc very |
anxious and wish to have large |
Thanksgiving offering. You who
have never been hungry have no idea
what suffering it is, we are sure, or

ON TO NORTH BEACH.
Where St Josephs and Their Friends
 Will Spend August 1.

saturday, August 1, is the day and date or St Joseph's T. A. soclety's an- nual excursion. As the vacation sea- son draws nearer the question that you near on all sides is, where are you going to spend your vacation? For the average person who cannot spend week or two at the shore the offering of days outing, at. small outlay of money, is most earnestly appreciated. To the people of Waterbury and it's wis einity just such a treat is offered them on the above day and date by the Ss Joseph's T. A. society. To the peopIs who have been in the habit of attend- ing this excursion in the past but little need be said. Conducted in such d manner as to bring forth words of praise for everything connected with the excursion, it is no wonder that ths excursion proves such grand success year after year. The society has de- cided to go to North Beach this year. North Beach, which is fast becoming one of New York's most popular sum mer resorts, is situated on Long Island and can be reached from New York by way of the Ninety ninth and 14th street ferries. Trolley cars run every few minutes between the beach and Brooklyn.
 The society is to be congratulated in having secured the use of the magnifis cent excursion steamboat St Johns for that day. The St Johns is the propers ty of the New Jersey. Central Railroad Go and is a boat which is eagerIY sought for by parties having large exs ctsrsions in charge. The excursion party will go by way Of the. Consolie dated railroad to New Haven, where they will take the boat for North Beach. Remember the day and date, and the price of the trip which is, adults $1.50, and children $1.
