There was once q painter in Paris
who wished to make picture OF an
elephant So he went to the Jardin
des Plantes in that city along with a
boy and q big bag of apples. In order
that the animal might assume strik-
ing attitude tho lad was to throw it
an apple now and then, so that it
might hold its trunk aloft. But to
prevent the supply of fruit from being
used up too soon, the boy was told
to make-believe to throw an apple
occasionally. The elephant said moth
ing at the time. When, however, the
apples were all done, the creature
walked to the tank as If to Quench its
thirst, took up in its trunk store OF
water, returned and deluged the paint
or and the picture, washing out nearly

enclosure, it was plain that it had de-

that the churches unite to become
more beneficial to mankind. "Chur-

congregations in fewer places OF

lead to the retention of ADLER minis

HOUR GLASSES FOR CHILDREN

linuR A. Work.
A clever mother recently gave, hour
glasses to, her three: children. They
were timed to run out at the end of
an hour, half hour and fifteen min
utes respectively. The little girl who
before had dawdled through her piano
practice, after watching the sands of
time run out so visibly in her hour
glass, at once brought new zest to
her practice. The boys would there
after time themselves on their evening
"chores," and hurry back to see If
they had been beaten by old Time, as
symbolized by the hour glass.
1t was very good way Of teaching
them the value and economy Of time.
If the experiment is tried, however,
mothers must be careful not to allow
their children to carry it to excess at
first, and 50 grow weary of it as Of a

is considering tina question of susp-
ending publication on account Of a
lack of support. It is a good idea,
and the publisher would have been
many dollars ahead if he had made
that decision long ago. A news
paper, in order to prosper, must be
produced in anwser to an active
demand to great extent. When
a newspaper, under good manage
ment. fails to prosper it is a sure
sign that people do not consider it a
necessity to their happiness and
prosperity. This may be the fault
of the people, who have not suffic-
lent business sense and judgement
to see what is to their interest; but
no matter where the trouble lies,
the publisher shows good judgment
in giving up the struggle. 1t is up
to the people OF Worthington to
guarantee support to daily paper,
or else acknowledge that they are
going backward. But they must
remember that the paper can be no
bigger than the town, and cannot
