THE FABLE OF THE
CIRCUS ELEPHANT.

There was a circus elephant once
who, on account of his great size and
beauty as elephants go, was kept for
the sole purpose of drawing the great
golden chariot in which sat the band,
dressed in scarlet and silver, during
the circus parades.
The elephant was so strong that this
occupation provided him with Just
enough work to enable him to digest
his regular number of bales of hay a
day, with the peanuts as extras. The
hours were easy and the position was
steady one with no worry over tricks
and other artistic matters such as op-
pressed the trained monkeys and the
high school riding horses in the next
row of stalls.
Consequently. the circus elephant
found much time in which to think
about the affairs of the world; and the
more he thought, the more displeased
he became with the faults of the gov
ernments, from the circus government
to the government of America.
AS he had come originally from In
dia, he naturally compared the United
States with his old home, much to the
disadvantage of the former. And at
last he fell into the habit of talking
aloud about 1t during the night, when
the animals were tired from their work
in the ring and wished to sleep.
Much to his surprise, the circus ele-
plant found himself getting unpopu-
lar. However. he con1forted himself
with the knowledge that the world
never appreciates the creature who
tries to improve it. Impelled by his
strong sense of duty. as we'll as his
personal inclinations, which kept him
awake nights, he continued his moral
lessons with kind forbearance for the
frantic and ungrateful clamor of the
other beasts.
THE only good people in all the
world" said he one night, ARE the
Yogis Of my native land. These vir-
tuous and amiable creatures sit in one
position all their lives until their limbs
grow into twisted shapes and they
squint at the tips of their noses per-
petually until they see Just what real
goodness is. Then they know how to
attain heaven"

SHE MADE A CHANGE,
A Charleston Mother Did So with
Advantage to Herself and Chill

A mother living in Charleston, Mass,
the happy posSessor of four children
writes: Every fall and winter 1 have
laid in a stock of cough remedies,
Group mixtures and throat medicines
for my children, for somehow or other
they never seem to be free from colds,
coughs or sore throat.
This fall / made a change in the
usual programme. l had myself been
cured of an obstinate catarrh, from
which l had suffered for years, by
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, ard as they
were pleasant to take 1 determined to
try them with my children. Our fam
lily physician told me he knew them to
be perfectly safe and nothing better
could be used for catarrh, coughs and
colds.
80 I give them to the children and
have continued to do so ever since.
whenever there is the least sign of
Group or sore throat and l no longer
dread the approach of cold weather
as I once did.
"Staurt's Catarrh Tablets not only
cured me of chronic nasal and throat
eatarrh, but they have saved me many
an anxious night with my little ones
The children like the taste of them and
IL is really wonderful how quickly they
will break up a croupy cold or an OBJ
stinate. deepseated cough"
People who have used sprays, inhai-
ers, salves or washes for catarrh and
have found how useless they are, will
be agreeably surprised al the results

FROM THE METROPOLIS.

VIII DIR. shrady, the Well Known
Physician and Surgeon, Emulate
DIR. s. Weir Mitchell, and Write a
BOok.-Dr. Shardy Is One of the
Few Prominent Living Americans
Who Are known to Have the
Daily journal Habft-What He
Might Write Would be Both In
teresting and ValuabIe-The Late
Bishop Newman, Who, Like Shra-
dy, Was a Close Friend of Gem
eraI Grant, Also Kept n Diary, but
He Never Wrote a BOOk-The Evo-
luton of Great Cities Both in
America and Abroad That Is Now
Going On.
New York, March 14.-The friends of
DIR. George F. Shrady, editor of the
Medical Record, are urging him anew
TO write a book and there is a posi-
bi1ity that he will do SO.
If he does the volume is pretty GER
tain to be an interesting one, since
the Doctor has lived a busy and inter
esting life in the biggest of the New
Worlds cities in an epoch of great
Importance. He has achieved a high
place in the medical profession, and
has come in contact with large num-
Der of his contemporaries most worth
knowing.
Naturally the book would include
some chapters about Gen. Grant,
since DR.. Shrady was his physician
from the beginning of his last illness
to the end. In the anxious months
during which the great soldiers life
was slowly ebbing away the physician
came to know him in a way that no
one else ever did.
While in attendance upon the Gene
raj Dr.. Shrady met nearly all the
other great American soldiers of the
time and the anecdotes he can tell of
them and many others who have been
prominent in the world of action in
the last few decades will surely make
the book a readable one.
DIR. Shrady is one of the few living
Americans of position in whom the
journal habit has survived. His jour-
nails now embrace a whole book shelf
full of neat red leather bound volumes
and the daily entries in them form a
combined record of his life and what
IS pretty nearly a history Of the stir
ring period in which he has lived.
The reading of portions of these
journals to party of intimate friends
the other evening brought forth a
strong demand on their part that the
doctor should take his daily memo
randa as a basis and prepare some
thing for the entertainment and in
struction of the general public.
Though the doctor takes great per-
Eonal pride in mis- journals and their
contents, he is inclined to be modest
when the suggestions that they would
be OF value 10 others is made, but his
friends believe that his modesty will
yet be overcome.

ALGER TO THE RESCUE.
He Will Show Woods Promotion
Was Dne to Mckinley.

Washington, Dee. 22-Cseneral Rus
sell A. Alger, now senator from Michi-
gan, ex-secretary of wax, will rush to
the relief of General Leonard Wood
when his name is favorably reported to
the senate for grade of major general in
the United States army. He will stand
by the side of Senator Foraker, in pre-
senting the defense of General Wood
in the interest of President Roosevelt.
There are two other senators who have
been secretaries of war-EIkinS and
Proctor-but they will not be so cen
spicuous in the defense of Wood and
his career. General Alger feels that he
is peculiarly interested. He was sec
retary of war when Wood had his rise
from the captains grade in the medical
department to a brigadier of the Vine.
When the comnfssary department
broke down at Santiago and the medi-
cal and quartermaster department
proved insufficient, Secretary Alger for
a time wished he had not been in such
hurry about getting Roosevelt a place.
It was Roosevelt who kicked up a muss
on account of weaknesses in the head
of the department in Washington. 1t
was Roosevelt who signed a round ro-
bin. He also assisted in giving it wide
publicity. Roosevelt at this time said
some things about A1ger which the SEN
ator has been hoping ever since that
Roosevelt as president would forget.
Alger was at the head of the war de-
partment at the time of Woods great
est promotion. He knows all about the
comments of the other generals. He
knows why Lawton was recalled, why
Wilson was not promoted, why Wade
failed as chief of the first army of oc-
cupation, why Brooke was not success
full at Havana and why Wood was call
ed to succeed him. He will state all
these things from the staIzdp1ifit of a
Mckinley secretary of war, and viii
present them to the senate from that
viewpoint He will state in executive
session of the senate that Mr.. McKin-
ley himself was acquainted with the
general orders issued to these generals
and was fully advised as to what had
gone on in Cuba which resulted in the
Wood assignment to Havana.
The prime object of this narrative viii
be to make impressive the fact that NC
Kinley stood by Wood. did all the pro-
noting, and that Roosevelt really had
nothing to do with the extraordinary
advancement of General Wood. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had done nothing more
than advance Wood as vacancies occur
red in the lines above him. This the
general hopes to make clear to the sat
isfaction of the senate.
Senator Hanna and those with him in
this fight may attempt to continue the
fight to the end of the session without
reaching a vote. He has asked the sem
ate that nothing further be done in the
matter until he returns to Washington.
This will delay consideration in the sem
ate until the middle of January.
By that time the Panama debate Will
be raging. The political fight which is
Just getting warm will engage the at
tention of the senate, giving it a chance
to ignore the necessities of the-Wood
case The plan will be to put it all off
until the last days of the senate

Diagrams which are alleged to have

connection with the United States Ship
Building underwriting placed in the

the World. Reference to these com
munications was made recently in the
ship building hearings before United
States Special Examiner r. d. Olli-
phant, while Charles Alexander, of the
firm of Alexander & Green, attorneys,
was undergoing examination. The let
ters which were kept secret by agree
ment of counsel were said to show
what methods had been pursued in or
der to compel the French investors to
meet the calls for money on their un-
derwriting after they had been given to
understand through a cablegram sent
by the Trust Company of the Republic
to it's agent. John W. Young, that the
underwriting was a success" This
dispatch gave them the idea that they
only need stand ready to receive their
profits as members of the underwriting
syndicate.

Paris, Dec. DENOMINATION was OBJ
tained from Official sources today of the
reports that Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe and Foreign Minister Delcasse
have within the last few days made
strong representations at Toxic with
the view to averting a crisis between
Russia and Japan. There is reason to
believe that these representations COM
ing at the critical moment when Japan's
reply was being handed to the Russian
minister, Baron De Rosen, exercised a
powerful restraining influence. This is
especially true OF Lord Lansdowne owing
to Great Britain being the ally Of
Japan. The terms of the Japanese an
swer are not yet known here, but owing
to the action taken by Great Britain
and France the officials here are con-
f1dent that her answer permits of con-
tinuanee of the diplomatic negotiations
towards securing common grounds for
an agreement.
The officials of the Japanese legation
insist that they do not believe there Is
any immediate danger of war between
Russia and Japan and express the opin-
ion that the dispute win be settled ami
cably They add, however, that Japan
will not abandon any of her rights in
Manchuria and say that If a conflict oc-

WHITE HOUSE RECESS.
viii Be No Cabinet Meeting
During Holidays.

Washington, Dec. 22.-No cabinet meet
ings will be held during the holiday re-
cess. Both President Roosevelt and his
official advisers will observe the recess
so far as public service will permit. Such
business as the several cabinet officers
may, have with the president will be
brought to his attention by them as indi,
viduals, unless some emergency should
arise which should render it necessary for
the cabinet to assemble as a body for its
consideration.
Such callers as the president may re-
ceive during the holidays must make their
engagements for the afternoon, as he will
spend no time in his office during the
mornings.
President Roosevelt left the White
House early today for a long ride. He
was unaccomDanied when he left. the
mansion, but later was joined by a friend.
Secretary Moody had a brief confer
ence with the president today before the
latter went riding. They considered the
latest official advices received by the ma
Wy department from the Isthnus of Pan
anna, but assurance is given that they are
of no great Importance. Both the pres
ident and Secretary Moody are keeping
in close touch with the situation through
the naval officers at the isthmus. Should
anything either significant important
occur there the administration here will
be advised Immediately.
